Clear Pricing for Chicago Homeowners

The current chimney sweep cost in Chicago is $335 per wood-burning fireplace. This flat rate includes soot removal, creosote cleaning, and a visual safety inspection.

If you have a gas log setup, our Gas Refresh service is also $335. This includes gas log cleaning, soot removal, and replacing silica sand, lava rock, or ember material as needed.

When no cleaning is needed, an inspection-only visit is $205.

These are our current prices; however, they may change over time.

What’s Included

A professional chimney sweep includes cleaning the firebox, smoke chamber, and flue while removing dangerous creosote buildup.

Our technician also provides photos, explains the findings, and walks you through any recommendations to help ensure your chimney is ready for safe use.

Why It’s Worth It

Annual chimney sweeping helps prevent chimney fires, reduce fireplace odors, and improve airflow. It also helps identify small issues early before they become expensive repairs.

Our Current Prices

These are the flat rates we charge as of July 2026. They are the numbers we quote on the phone, not an estimate that changes when we arrive.

• Chimney sweep — $335. A full sweep of the flue, smoke chamber and firebox, with the Level 1 inspection included.
• Level 1 inspection — $205. Visual inspection of all readily accessible parts of the chimney and appliance, with photographs.
• Utility chimney inspection — $205. The flue serving your furnace or water heater. Different appliance, same flat rate.
• Level 2 inspection — $295. Adds a camera survey of the flue interior. Required at sale, after a chimney fire, and whenever the appliance changes.
• Fireplace liner — roughly $200 per linear foot. Most complete liner jobs land between $3,000 and $4,000 depending on flue height and whether existing clay tile has to be broken out.

Masonry work — tuckpointing, crown replacement, firebox and above-roof rebuilds — is quoted in writing after inspection, because scope and access vary too much to price honestly over the phone. Prices are current at the time of writing; call 847-994-4388 to confirm.
