Chimney Sweeps Near Me
Searching "chimney sweep near me" gets you review-site pages for towns you have never heard of, one-page sites that route your call to another state, and company profiles that say "certified" with nothing behind it. This page is the other way in: pick your city, then compare the 1,798 chimney sweeps we list across 23 states on the facts that matter before you call: Google rating and how recent the reviews are, what each company does, what companies charge and customers paid, and whether a certification claim checks out against the registry. Every company here has a Google Business Profile within about 20 miles of a city we cover and passed our checks for real local businesses; profiles that looked like call-routing fronts or batch-created ghosts are held out and counted, not quietly hidden. Where enough companies publish a price, or enough customers mention what they paid, the city page shows the going rate.

Common questions
How much does a chimney sweep cost near me?
Companies here publish a median starting price of $127 for a sweep (80 companies), $99 for an inspection (79 companies) and $199 for a repair (24 companies). Customers reported a median of $289 for a sweep (308 reports), $150 for an inspection (225 reports) and $700 for a repair (100 reports) since October 2024, recent reports weighted more. It depends on the city, the flue and whether an inspection is included, so each city page shows its own medians where it has enough data: the starting prices local companies publish, and the amounts customers mentioned in Google reviews in the last 24 months. Neither is a quote, and a $99 inspection special is usually the start of a conversation about repairs, so ask what it includes.
When should I book a chimney sweep?
Searches for chimney sweeps peak in October and November and run about five times lower in spring. Book in August or September for a pre-season sweep; the best-reviewed companies fill their calendars weeks ahead. Masonry repairs are easier to schedule in late winter and spring.
How do I know a chimney sweep is certified?
Ask for the certification number and check it on the CSIA or NCSG registry. On this site a badge is marked Verified only when we matched the company on the registry on the date shown; otherwise it is the company's own claim, and a missing badge is not a finding because the registries are opt-in.
How is this list made?
From public Google Business Profiles in chimney categories, refreshed monthly, with spam and call-routing profiles filtered out and counted. Nothing is paid to rank; the methodology page explains every check.
