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.

AfterChimney Company in Everett, MA
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair for homeowners across Everett, Massachusetts. A standard chimney sweep in Everett typically runs $189 – $289 depending on flue condition and access, and every job gets a written price before any work begins. Everett’s mix of triple-deckers, two-family homes, and older single-family colonials means chimneys here see heavy seasonal use, and the city’s dense lot lines put a premium on crews that work clean and respect property boundaries. Call (830) 251-4560 for a free estimate.
Why Everett Homes Are Different
Everett’s housing stock is what shapes most chimney work here. The city has a high concentration of homes built between 1900 and 1960, many with original masonry chimneys that have survived decades of New England winters. Clay tile liners from that era crack under repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and when they do, flue gases and moisture find their way into the surrounding brick. We see this pattern constantly in the neighborhoods off Broadway and Ferry Street, where side-by-side housing means chimneys sit close to neighbors’ roofs and windows.
Wood-burning fireplaces in Everett get real use, not just decorative. Many homeowners supplement heat from October through March, which means creosote builds at a pace that surprises people who moved in from newer construction. The other thing that sets Everett apart is roof access. Tight setbacks, narrow driveways, and three-story triple-deckers mean ladder placement and roof safety take longer here than in a sprawling suburb. We schedule Everett jobs with that reality in mind, not against it.
Our Main Everett Services
Most Everett homeowners call us for one of two reasons: the fireplace hasn’t been cleaned in years and they want it done right, or they smell something odd and need an inspection to know whether it’s routine or serious.
Chimney Sweep in Everett
A Chimney Sweep in Everett job here means removing creosote, soot, and any debris from the flue, smoke chamber, and firebox, then running a visual check on accessible liner surfaces. In Everett’s older homes, we frequently pull out more than ash; birds, squirrels, and decades of fine soot packed into smoke shelves are common. Our techs run brush work from the roof or up through the firebox depending on roof pitch and chimney height, and every sweep includes drop cloths and a HEPA vacuum at the hearth so the living room looks better than we found it.
Chimney Inspection in Everett
An Chimney Inspection in Everett is the right call before a first burn in a newly purchased home, after any storm that rattled the roof, or when stains or odors appear around the fireplace. We use a camera to see flue liner condition all the way up, photograph what we find, and give you the images. In Everett, where homes change hands often between owner-occupants and rented units, a documented inspection report clears up disputes about whether a chimney is fit for use. If the liner is visibly cracked or missing mortar joints, we tell you plainly and write the repair scope only if you ask for it.
Chimney Repair in Everett
Chimney Repair in Everett covers everything from crown resealing and parging to full flue relining. Everett’s older masonry means we regularly replace spalling brick at the top courses and rebuild wash crowns that have gone soft from decades of rain and ice. When a liner has failed, we quote relining options using materials like DuraFlex or HeatShield and explain the difference in plain terms: one is a continuous steel liner, the other a ceramic-cement resurfacing system. Every repair we quote carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

What pushes a sweep toward the top of that range in Everett is roof height and access. A clean single-story chimney on a walkable pitch lands low. A triple-decker flue that needs a 32-foot ladder and a roof anchor lands higher. Either way, the number you approve in writing before we start is the number on the invoice.
