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.

Chimney cleaning in Alpharetta runs between $189 and $329 for a standard sweep, depending on flue size, creosote buildup, and whether animals have gotten in. We’re Flint Chimney Sweep, part of the Garrison Partners family founded in 2002, and we work on homes across Alpharetta from Windward to Crabapple to downtown. Our technicians arrive with a written price in hand before any tool comes off the truck. Call (830) 251-4560 to schedule.
Why Alpharetta Homes Are Different
Alpharetta’s housing stock spans three distinct eras, and each one changes how we approach a chimney. Homes in Windward and along Kimball Bridge Road were mostly built in the 1990s with factory-built fireplaces and framed chimney chases. The older neighborhoods near downtown Alpharetta, including the areas around Canton Street and Marietta Street, have masonry chimneys that have now seen thirty to fifty Georgia summers. And the newer build-outs east of Highway 400 near Avalon and Webb Bridge Road often have direct-vent gas fireplaces with stainless terminations.
The climate does real work on these systems. High humidity from April through September keeps creosote soft and sticky inside flue liners, which makes it harder to remove if a sweep is skipped for a few years. Spring storm season brings wind-driven rain that finds every crack in a crown or flashing. We also see a lot of damper rust in Alpharetta specifically, more so than in drier parts of metro Atlanta, because the air hangs wet for months.
Terrain matters too. Alpharetta sits on rolling hills north of the Chattahoochee, and many chimneys here are tall two story runs with steep roof pitches. That affects access, ladder setup, and the time a sweep takes. It also means we carry ridge and hip roof gear as standard on Alpharetta calls, not as an add-on.
Our Main Alpharetta Services
Most Alpharetta homeowners reach out for one of three things: a routine sweep before burning season, an inspection after buying or selling a home, or a repair that a previous inspection flagged. Each service has its own page with pricing and detail.
Chimney Sweep in Alpharetta
A standard sweep in Alpharetta removes the creosote and soot that builds up along the flue walls, along with any leaves, twigs, or squirrel debris that came in through the top. Crews run rotary brushes sized to your flue from the firebox up, cover the hearth with drop cloths, and run a HEPA vacuum during the work so dust doesn’t move through the house. In Alpharetta specifically we check for damper rust from the humid months and note any water staining on the firebox walls. Every sweep includes a same-visit visual check of the accessible flue sections. Full details and sweep pricing are on the Chimney Sweep in Alpharetta page.
Chimney Inspection in Alpharetta
An inspection gives you a documented written condition report before you buy, sell, or just burn with confidence. In Alpharetta, real estate transactions drive a lot of inspection requests, and most involve a camera run through the flue with still photos provided to you the same day. We also inspect after heavy storms, especially if you noticed water in the firebox or a musty smell from the fireplace. The level of inspection needed depends on whether anything changed since the last one. Our inspection process, including camera photo delivery, is on the Chimney Inspection in Alpharetta page.
Chimney Repair in Alpharetta
When a sweep or inspection turns up a cracked flue tile, failed crown, or rusted damper, the repair work is where the written guarantee matters most. We quote the repair in writing before starting, and every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if a covered repair fails within a full year, we return at no charge. In Alpharetta, the most common repairs are crown re-sealing after heavy storm seasons and damper replacements in older masonry chimneys. We work with HeatShield and DuraFlex for relining and structural repairs. See what’s covered on the Chimney Repair in Alpharetta page.

The biggest price drivers in Alpharetta are roof pitch and flue height. A two story chimney with a steep pitch on a Windward hillside takes longer and requires more setup than a single story run near downtown. Whatever the job, the written price we hand you before starting is the price on the invoice.
