Your Longs Chimney Sweep Experts—Transparent Pricing, No Hidden Fees

That’s likely creosote buildup or a cracked flue letting smoke seep in. We’ll inspect it for free and quote you *only* the work needed—often just a deep clean ($120–$180) or a minor repair ($200–$350). Many sweeps in the area charge extra for ‘emergency’ calls, but we’ll schedule you within 48 hours without hidden fees. Pro tip: If your chimney’s over 20 years old (common in Longs’ historic homes), we’ll check for rust or deterioration that could lead to bigger costs down the road.

Draft issues usually stem from a clogged cap, damaged liner, or even a nearby tree blocking airflow (like those live oaks around your neighborhood). We’ll diagnose the exact problem for free and fix it for $150–$400—far less than what you’d pay if it caused a backup or fire. Many sweeps push for full relining, but we’ll only recommend it if *absolutely* necessary. In Longs’ humid climate, a simple cap adjustment or chimney balloon can restore draft for under $200.

Not with us. We charge a flat rate for *all* Longs-area homes, including multi-story or hard-to-access chimneys (like those on Pine Street’s older cottages). Our crew uses extendable tools and safety gear, so there’s no ‘difficulty fee.’ If another company quotes you $250+ for a ‘complex’ sweep, ask why—it’s often just padding. We’ll even inspect your roof flashing for free while we’re up there, since leaks are common in this area’s rainy season.

That’s almost always a blocked chimney or poor airflow. We’ll clean it thoroughly ($120–$160) and check for obstructions like bird nests (a surprise in many Longs chimneys!). If the issue persists, we’ll inspect your damper or flue for damage—often fixable for under $300. Many sweeps blame ‘old chimneys’ for poor performance, but 80% of the time, it’s just neglect. We’ll tell you the *real* problem, not upsell you on a new liner unless it’s critical.

Absolutely. We’ll provide a detailed report you can share with your landlord, and many in Longs’ rental market *do* cover inspections (especially before winter). If they refuse, we’ll still inspect for your safety—just let us know upfront. Our basic inspection is $80, and we’ll flag anything urgent (like a cracked flue) that could void their insurance. Pro move: Use our report to negotiate a rent reduction if repairs are needed—landlords hate surprises.

That’s usually excess air rushing through a damaged liner or open joint—common in older homes here. We’ll seal the gap for $200–$350, which is cheaper than a full reline ($1,500+). Many sweeps ignore this ‘cosmetic’ issue, but it can lead to heat loss or even a chimney fire. In Longs’ windy areas (like near the Intracoastal), we’ll also check for wind-induced turbulence that worsens the noise. A quick fix now saves you from a costly repair later.

Check for soot on your fireplace glass, a strong smoke smell when the fire’s off, or a ‘roaring’ sound that fades quickly—all red flags. If your chimney’s over a year old (or you’ve never swept it), schedule a clean *today*. We offer a $50 discount for first-time Longs customers who book within 72 hours. Skip the guesswork: our free inspection will tell you exactly what’s safe to wait on and what needs immediate attention—no pressure, no upsells.

No. A standard sweep in Longs should cost $120–$180 for most homes, unless you’ve got a *very* tall chimney or severe creosote (which we’ll confirm for free). Many sweeps bundle inspections, cleanings, and ‘preventative’ repairs into one high-priced visit. We’ll break down every charge upfront—no ‘full service’ upsells. If you’ve been quoted $400+, ask what’s *actually* included. In this area, you’re often paying for ‘convenience’ or a sales pitch, not real work.
