Pricing FAQs

Are these prices the final cost?

These are honest up-front starting prices. Your exact quote is confirmed before any work begins and depends on your chimney’s size, condition, and access. There are no hidden hourly charges.

Why is a chimney sweep priced the way it is?

A standard sweep includes a Level 1 inspection and a full cleanup. Price rises only if heavy creosote, a second flue, or a repair is involved — and we tell you before we start.

Do you charge for an estimate?

We give you a clear price up front for the work you ask about. For repairs, we inspect first, then quote a flat price you approve before we begin.

How much is a Level 2 inspection for a home sale?

A Level 2 video inspection starts at $249. It documents the full flue condition with camera footage, which is the standard for buying or selling a home.

Is air duct cleaning really $99?

Yes, our air duct cleaning starts at $99. The final price depends on the size of the home and number of vents, confirmed up front.

Do you offer any discounts?

Ask when you book — we often bundle services like a chimney sweep with a dryer vent cleaning done in the same visit, which saves you a second trip charge.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept cash, check, and major credit cards. Payment is due when the work is complete and you’re satisfied.

Why are your prices lower than some competitors?

We’re a family crew with our own technicians and low overhead, so we keep starting prices fair for the Fox Valley without cutting corners on the work.
