How much does a chimney sweep cost in Milton?
A standard chimney sweep and inspection in Milton starts at $99. That covers a full sweep along with a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap, and crown. If we find anything that needs more attention, such as a damaged cap or a crack in the crown, we explain what it is and give you a price before any extra work starts. You decide what to approve. There is no guesswork and no surprise charges on the bill.
What does the inspection actually cover?
- Full sweep of the flue to clear soot and creosote buildup
- Check of the firebox for cracks or heat damage
- Damper check to confirm it opens, closes, and seals properly
- Cap inspection for rust, gaps, or animal entry points
- Crown check for cracks that let water into the chimney structure
This gives you a clear picture of your chimney's condition before the wet Pacific Northwest season sets in, when moisture does the most damage to masonry and metal components.
Why does a Milton chimney need regular attention?
Milton sits in the Seattle area, about 25 miles from downtown, where long stretches of rain and high humidity are part of daily life for much of the year. That moisture works its way into small cracks in a chimney crown or around a loose cap, and over time it can lead to bigger repairs. Regular sweeps also clear out creosote, which builds up faster in homes that run their fireplace or wood stove often through our mild but damp winters. Keeping the chimney clean and dry reduces fire risk and helps the whole system last longer.
How does booking a visit work?
You can book online by picking a day and a 3-hour arrival window that fits your schedule. Our office calls or texts to confirm the appointment, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arrival so you know when to expect them. It is a simple process built around your time, not ours.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a chimney be swept?
Most homes that use their fireplace or wood stove regularly benefit from a sweep and inspection once a year, ideally before the rainy season starts. Homes with heavier use may need it more often.
What is included in the $99 sweep and inspection?
The $99 price covers a full sweep plus a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap, and crown. Any additional work is explained and priced before it begins.
How do I schedule an appointment in Milton?
Booking is done online. You choose a day and a 3-hour arrival window, our office confirms by call or text, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
What happens if the technician finds a problem during the inspection?
You will be told exactly what was found and given a clear price for any repair before any work starts. Nothing is done without your approval.
When was the last time you cleaned your Chimney?
Over 25,000 chimney fires in the U.S. last year were responsible for over $120 million in property damage. Chimney fires can quickly spread into house fires in a relatively short period of time.
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

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
