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 Beverly Homes Are Different
Beverly’s housing stock runs old. A large share of homes within a mile of Cabot Street predate 1920, which means masonry chimneys built without modern liners, shallow fireboxes, and mortar that has seen a century of New England freeze-thaw cycles. Coastal air off the Atlantic adds salt, and it works on lime-based mortar faster than most homeowners expect. We regularly see spalling brick and eroded crown joints in neighborhoods like Ryal Side and the Goat Hill area that would rarely show the same wear ten miles inland.
Terrain matters too. Beverly slopes up from the water, and many chimneys on Prides Crossing and Beverly Farms side streets sit at steep roof pitches that make ladder setup slower and safer access more deliberate. We’re not going to rush that, and we won’t charge you extra for it. Our Beverly pricing already accounts for the access work these homes typically require. The wet, windy winters also mean more animals seeking warmth in flues, so regular sweeping here catches nesting before it becomes a blockage.
Our Main Beverly Services
Most Beverly homeowners call us for one of two reasons: an annual sweep before burning season, or an inspection when they’re buying or selling a home near the coast. The three services below each have their own Beverly page.
Chimney Sweep in Beverly
We remove creosote and soot from the flue and smoke chamber, then brush the firebox and damper area clean. Older Beverly chimneys often have built-up Stage 2 creosote from years of burning unseasoned wood, and that takes longer to break down than the light dusting a newer home might show. We lay drop cloths, run a HEPA vacuum, and leave the hearth exactly as we found it. Every sweep includes a basic visual check of the flue liner and cap. That’s the service, plain and simple. Chimney Sweep in Beverly has the full breakdown, including what we charge.
Chimney Inspection in Beverly
An inspection in Beverly means more than a quick look up the flue. We run a camera the full height of the chimney and document everything we see, because many of these older colonials and capes have hidden liner damage you can’t spot from the firebox. If you’re buying a home near Lynch Park or in the downtown historic district, your lender or insurance company may want a Level 2 inspection before closing. We photograph, we document, and we give you the report in writing. Full detail is on the Chimney Inspection in Beverly page.
Chimney Repair in Beverly
When the inspection turns up cracked flue tiles, deteriorated crown mortar, or a rusted damper, the repair quote is written and specific. We use DuraFlex for liner work, HeatShield for resurfacing, and Copperfield or Famco caps when the old one has rusted through. Every repair we do in Beverly carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it fails within a year, we come back and fix it at no charge. No argument, no trip fee. Chimney Repair in Beverly covers what we fix and how the guarantee works.

What pushes a Beverly quote higher is access. A steep roof on a Beverly Farms hillside or a three-story chimney on a downtown Victorian adds setup time and ladder work, and that shows up in the written price before we start. The number we give you is the number you pay. No add-ons at the door, no “discovered damage” surprises. If the camera finds something, you see the footage before you decide.
