How much does a chimney sweep cost in Friendswood?
A standard chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. That covers a full check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown so you know the condition of your system before the next fire season. If we find something that needs more work, we explain it clearly and give you a price before any extra work begins. No surprises on the invoice.
What happens during a chimney sweep visit?
You book online by picking a day and a 3-hour arrival window. Our office calls or texts to confirm the appointment, and the technician calls about 30 minutes ahead so you are not stuck waiting around all day.
- Sweep of the flue to clear soot and creosote buildup
- Inspection of the firebox and damper for cracks or rust
- Check of the cap and crown for gaps, wear or water entry points
- A clear explanation of findings and pricing for any repairs before we start
This gives you a straightforward picture of your chimney's health without guesswork.
Has The Chimney Xpert worked in Friendswood before?
Yes. We have completed 3 chimney jobs in Friendswood over the past two years, including sweeps and an animal removal, plus a standalone inspection. Our first visit here was in November 2024 and our most recent was in March 2026.
Friendswood's humid Gulf Coast climate means chimneys can collect moisture, mildew and creosote faster than in drier regions. That same humidity also draws birds, squirrels and other small animals looking for a dry place to nest, which is why animal removal is a service we are regularly called on to handle here. A yearly sweep and inspection helps catch these issues early, before they turn into bigger repairs.
Why choose The Chimney Xpert in Friendswood?
We are based in the Houston area, about 20 miles from downtown, and Friendswood is part of our regular service area. Whether you need a routine sweep, a full inspection, or help after finding signs of an animal in your chimney, we handle the job with the same $99 starting rate and the same clear, upfront pricing before any extra work begins.

Top 3 Reasons to Sweep your Chimney
The importance of yearly chimney inspections and sweepings cannot be understated, as they are the one true way to minimize the likelihood of a chimney fire sparking in the first place. The fact is that clean chimneys simply don’t catch fire.
- Prevent Chimney Fires
- Protect Your Health
Breathing the fumes from gas or solid fuel fires can be dangerous—or even fatal. - Avoid Smoke Damage
If a chimney is not cleaned regularly, soot will accumulate around the flue. This makes it difficult for the flue to draw the smoke upwards and can cause the smoke to enter your room. This soot will leave a black film around your hearth and soil any furniture, carpeting, or nearby decor. Smoke can also leave black stains around your chimney, which can be difficult or sometimes impossible to remove.



What Degree of Creosote is in Your Chimney?
A buildup of creosote is the main reason why it’s important to have your chimney cleaned and inspected annually, but did you know that there are three degrees, or stages, of creosote?
Soot: While not dangerous, soot is flammable and spreads easily, leaving dirt stains in your home and potentially causing respiratory illnesses.
Creosote flakes: If soot isn’t addressed in a timely manner, over time it can morph into larger flakes, which are highly flammable and more difficult to remove.
Tar creosote: Severe disrepair. At this stage, the creosote coalesces to form a thick, extremely flammable paste along the walls of the chimney. The tar releases gasses, which remain in the chimney flue until a fire is lit. At that point, the gasses as well as the tar will catch fire almost immediately.
Chimney Fire Causes
Factors that increase risk of chimney fires include:
- Failing to have your chimney swept often enough, which can lead to soot buildup
- Blockages such as soot buildup, animal nests, or bits of foliage in your chimney that can restrict air flow
- Burning wet or unseasoned wood, which increases the production of creosote

David was prompt and very professional. He inspected and cleaned the fireplace & went over everything that he did and provided valuable information. Price was better that competitor's. I will definitely continue to do business with this company.
Very pleased with the professionalism and promptness of service. Chad was very helpful and courteous and the work was done quickly and efficiently at significantly less cost than the first quote we received. Happy to recommend Chimney Xpert.
Professional and polite company-I was able to get in the schedule the following week of my initial request for service. My tech was Conner and he did a great job. Going to have them back to repair the fireplace gas line.
Can't say enough good things about this company. James is extremely easy to communicate with, and is glad to answer any questions. The installers were extremely quick, but did a very quality job, at an affordable price. If I need any future chimney work I will definitely be coming back to Chimney Master Dallas.
I will try to keep this short and sweet! From dealing with the owner about what our needs really were to keeping the communication lines open and his team installing our new Buck Stove.
There is no way I could have been any more pleased with the entire experience. Their team are "First Class" all the way
