Chimney Sweep Cost and Pricing in Salem, OR
One flat price for a sweep, a free written estimate for everything else, and nothing added without your approval. Here is exactly how we charge.
The $99 Chimney Sweep Special
Our chimney sweep is $99, flat. Not a teaser rate that grows once we are on the roof — the full job, done right, for the price on this page. It is the one number you will find on this site, because it is the one job we can price before we have seen your chimney.
- Full mechanical sweep of the flue, smoke chamber and firebox
- Drop cloths down and dust control throughout — your living room stays clean
- Visual check of the system while we work
- Same price for masonry chimneys, prefab units, wood stoves and fireplace inserts
You can read more about how we do the work on our chimney sweeping page, or call (208) 728-6438 to get on the schedule. We are open 24 hours, 7 days a week.
How Everything Else Is Priced
Every job beyond the $99 sweep is priced by a free written estimate, before any work starts. We look at the chimney, we put the scope and the price on paper, and you decide. No work begins until you have approved it.
That also means no surprise add-ons. If we get into a repair and find something we did not expect, we stop, show it to you, and give you a revised estimate to approve or decline. The price you agreed to is the price you pay — anything beyond it is your call, not ours.
Senior & Military Discount
We offer a discount for seniors and for military service members and veterans — just mention it when you book, before the work starts. Mention it when you book and we will apply it to your job.
It's a small way of saying thank you to the people and generation that earned it. Call (208) 728-6438 and let us know you qualify.
Why We Do Not Quote Repairs Sight-Unseen
People call and ask what a repair costs, and we understand why — nobody likes calling a contractor blind. But after 20+ years in this trade we can tell you honestly: no two chimneys fail the same way. Two houses on the same Salem street can look identical from the curb and need completely different work up top.
A number thrown out over the phone is either padded to protect the contractor or lowballed to win the job — and either way it is not honest. We would rather look first, diagnose properly, and quote the actual work. A thorough chimney inspection is how we get there.
What Affects a Repair Estimate
When we write up an estimate for chimney repair, three things drive the number. None of them can be judged from the street, which is why we look before we quote.
- Extent of the damage — a hairline crack in a crown is a different job than masonry that has been soaking up Willamette Valley rain for years. Water damage in particular runs deeper than it looks from the ground.
- Chimney type — masonry, prefab, wood stove and insert systems are built differently and repaired differently.
- Access — roof pitch, chimney height and how we can safely reach the work all factor in.
Your written estimate spells out what we found, what we recommend, and what it costs — line by line, before you commit to anything.
Backed by a 10-Year Warranty
Qualifying repair work comes with our 10-year warranty. When we hand you an estimate, it states plainly whether the work qualifies — so you know what is covered before you approve a single dollar of it.
We serve Salem, Keizer, Albany, Corvallis, McMinnville, Woodburn, Silverton, Dallas, Stayton, Lebanon, Monmouth, Independence and Turner. If you want a straight answer about your chimney, call (208) 728-6438 or reach us through the contact page — the estimate is free either way.
FAQs
Is the $99 chimney sweep really $99?
Yes. It covers the full mechanical sweep of the flue, smoke chamber and firebox, drop cloths and dust control, and a visual check — at one flat price, for every chimney type we service. If we spot a problem during the sweep, you get a free written estimate for it, with no obligation.
How much does chimney repair cost in Salem?
There is no honest one-size answer, so we do not publish one. The price depends on the extent of the damage, the type of chimney, and how we can access the work — and none of that can be judged over the phone. We come out, diagnose it, and give you a free written estimate before any work starts.
Do I pay anything for the estimate?
No. The estimate is free, in writing, and comes before any work begins. You approve it or you do not — either way it costs you nothing to find out where your chimney stands.
What does the 10-year warranty cover?
Qualifying repair work is backed by our 10-year warranty. Your written estimate states whether the work you are approving qualifies, so there is no fine print to discover later. Ask us when we quote the job and we will tell you straight.
Do you offer any discounts?
Yes — seniors and military (active duty and veterans) get a discount on our work — mention it when you book so it's noted on your job up front.
