What Changes the Price of a Chimney Sweep
Most sweeps cost the listed price. These are the things that can add to it, and we tell you about each one before we start:
- Extra flues. The $99 price is for one flue. A second fireplace, or a furnace or water heater flue in the same chimney, is priced on its own.
- Glazed creosote. Shiny, hard Stage 3 creosote does not brush off. It needs rotary tools or a chemical treatment, and sometimes a second visit. That is our chimney cleaning service.
- Roof height and pitch. Two-story homes and steep roofs take more time and safety gear.
- Nests and animals. Removing a nest or animal takes extra time. Chimney swifts are protected by federal law, so if they are nesting (usually May to September in Dallas) we wait until they leave.
- Level 2 inspection. If we see signs of hidden damage, or you are buying or selling a home, a Level 2 inspection adds a full video scan. It is priced before we start.
- Fireplace type. Wood stoves, inserts and factory-built units each need different tools.
Chimney Inspection Cost
A Level 1 inspection is included with every $99 sweep. That covers the parts you can reach: firebox, damper, flue, cap and crown. NFPA 211, the national fire code for chimneys, calls for this kind of check every year.
A Level 2 chimney inspection is needed when you buy or sell a home, after a chimney fire or a big storm, or when you change fuel or add an insert. It adds a full video scan of the flue. We price it before we start. For reference, a Bob Vila chimney sweep cost guide lists a national range of $150 to $1,000 for a Level 2 inspection with cleaning, and $130 to $380 for a standard sweep.

Chimney Repair Cost in Dallas
We give a free written estimate for every repair, with photos of the problem. We do not publish repair prices because every chimney is different. To help you plan, here are typical national ranges from the Bob Vila chimney repair cost guide (updated October 2023). They are not our prices.
| Repair | Typical national range |
|---|---|
| General chimney repair | $160 to $750 |
| Chimney leak repair | $150 to $500 |
| Flashing repair | $200 to $300 |
| Chimney cap repair | $300 to $600 |
| Chimney crown repair | $750 to $1,000 |
| Tuckpointing | $700 to $2,200 |
| Chimney liner replacement | $1,200 to $4,600 |
| Chimney rebuild | $500 to $4,000 |
In Dallas, the most common repairs we see come from spring hail and wind: cracked crowns, loose or missing caps and lifted flashing. Older brick chimneys in Lakewood, Lake Highlands and the M Streets also tend to need mortar work. See our chimney repair page for what each job involves.
How to Avoid the $49 Chimney Sweep Bait-and-Switch
Every fall, ads offer chimney sweeps for $49 or less. Some are honest. Many are a way to get a crew in your house, then tell you the chimney is unsafe and needs thousands of dollars of work today.
Ways to protect yourself:
- Ask what the price includes. A real sweep includes the flue, not just a vacuum of the firebox.
- Ask for photos. Any problem should be shown to you in a photo or on camera.
- Get the repair price in writing. Never agree to big work on the spot.
- Get a second opinion. A cracked flue tile or a bad crown will still be there next week.
- Check reviews and insurance. Look for a real local address and recent reviews.
