You clicked hoping for a price list, so let us be straight about why you will not find one here. Any chimney company posting exact prices online is quoting a chimney it has never seen. Two houses on the same Thornton block can need wildly different work: one flue swept last fall, the other never touched since the house went up. Publishing one number for both would mean overcharging the first homeowner or ambushing the second.

How our pricing actually works

  • The look is free. Camera up the flue, eyes on the cap, crown and brick, photos of everything worth discussing. You pay nothing for any of it.
  • The quote is written. One number for the exact work your chimney needs, handed over before anything starts. No line-item fog, no mystery fees.
  • The number holds. What we quote is what the invoice says. If we open something up and find more than expected, you hear about it and approve it first, or the extra is on us.
  • No pressure has a chair at the table. Take the written quote and sit on it, compare it, sleep on it. It does not expire the moment our truck leaves.

What moves a chimney quote up or down

  • Condition: a maintained flue costs less to service than one carrying a decade of neglect. Every year of skipped maintenance shows up on camera.
  • Access: steep pitches, tall stacks and tricky rooflines add time and rigging.
  • Materials: stainless outlasts galvanized, proper crown mix outlasts a mortar smear. We quote the version that does not need redoing.
  • Scope: sealing a sound crown is a small line; recasting a failed one is a bigger line. The camera decides which one your roof gets, not the sales script.

The cheap-quote warning

You will find lower first numbers than ours. The trade is famous for them: a bargain sweep price on the phone that discovers urgent, frightening problems once the technician is on the roof. Our free camera look exists partly as an antidote, and we happily serve as a free second opinion on anyone else's scary quote. If their diagnosis is real, we will confirm it. If it is theater, you will know before spending a dime.

FAQ about our pricing

Why will you not quote over the phone?

Because we would be guessing, and a guess either pads the price to cover surprises or lowballs to win the booking and grows later. Both are ways of lying politely. The camera look costs you nothing and produces a number we can stand behind.

Do you charge for estimates?

No. The inspection is free, the written quote is free, and neither obligates you to anything.

Is financing or phasing possible on bigger jobs?

Bigger masonry projects can often be staged sensibly across seasons, urgent safety items first. Tell us what budget you are working with and we will sequence the plan honestly.
