Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

Why Forest Hills Homes Are Different
Forest Hills sits on rolling, wooded terrain in Davidson County, and the homes here reflect that. Many were built from the 1960s through the 1990s, with a mix of brick ranches, two-story traditionals, and newer custom builds tucked along roads like Old Hickory Boulevard and Granny White Pike. That housing stock means we see a lot of masonry chimneys with clay tile liners, and a fair share of factory-built fireplaces in the more recent construction.
The local climate does real work on chimneys. Forest Hills gets humid summers and enough winter freeze-thaw cycles to open hairline cracks in mortar joints and chimney crowns. Water gets in, freezes, expands, and the damage compounds year over year. Creosote buildup also tends to run heavier in homes where fireplaces get used more in cooler months, which is most of this area. What we regularly find in Forest Hills is flue tile spalling, rusted dampers, and flashing that has pulled away from the roofline.
Terrain matters too. Steep driveways and tight lot lines are common, so our crews plan roof access carefully and always protect landscaping. We work on single-story and two-story chimneys throughout the area, and we arrive in uniform, background-checked, and ready to explain exactly what we see.
Our Main Forest Hills Services
Most Forest Hills homeowners reach out to us for one of two reasons: a chimney that hasn’t been cleaned in years, or a problem found during a home sale. Here is what each service involves, with full details on their own pages.
Chimney Sweep in Forest Hills
A Chimney Sweep in Forest Hills removes creosote, soot, and any debris blocking the flue. In Forest Hills homes, that often means clearing squirrel nests, twigs, and leaf litter that accumulate between seasonal fires. We run brushes sized to the flue, vacuum with HEPA filtration, and leave a drop cloth down the entire time. A typical sweep here takes 45 to 90 minutes, and you’ll get a written report when we finish.
Chimney Inspection in Forest Hills
A Chimney Inspection in Forest Hills gives you a documented look at the entire system: crown, flashing, flue liner, damper, firebox, and exterior masonry. Buyers and sellers in Forest Hills use this before closing because it catches hidden issues like cracked tiles or a failing crown that a visual glance from the yard misses. We use camera equipment and provide photos so you can see exactly what we see, no guesswork.
Chimney Repair in Forest Hills
Chimney Repair in Forest Hills covers everything from a new damper to full flue relining. Forest Hills homes with original clay liners often need HeatShield resurfacing or a DuraFlex stainless liner once cracks appear. We write the repair scope and price before starting, and every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it fails within a year, we come back and fix it free.

Two things push price up in Forest Hills more than anything else: roof pitch and liner condition. A steep two-story chimney takes longer to access safely, and a flue with multiple cracked tiles needs more than a basic sweep. Whatever the number, it’s in writing before the first tool comes off the truck.
