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 Medina, OH
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Medina, OH. A standard chimney sweep in Medina typically runs $179 – $259, and every job gets a written price before any work starts. Medina’s mix of century homes near the square and newer builds off Route 18 means chimneys here see different wear patterns, and the work has to account for that. If you need a chimney company in Medina that puts the price and the guarantee in writing, call (830) 251-4560.
Why Medina Homes Are Different
Medina’s housing stock runs the full range. The Victorian and colonial homes around the historic square often have original masonry chimneys with clay tile liners that have been absorbing Ohio freeze-thaw cycles for a century or more. Out toward the newer subdivisions along Weymouth Road and south of Route 18, we see a different set of issues: builder-grade prefab chimneys that settle, chase covers that leak at the flashing, and liners that were undersized from day one. Northeast Ohio winters are hard on both. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, and widens them. By the time you see staining on the ceiling or smell damp in the firebox, the damage has usually been working for a while. Medina’s clay-heavy soil also shifts with the seasons, and that ground movement can crack mortar joints in exterior chimneys that were built before modern footings became standard. None of this is a reason to panic, but it is why we camera-inspect on every job rather than guess.
Our Main Medina Services
The three jobs Medina homeowners call us about most are a sweep, an inspection, and repairs that the inspection turned up. Each has its own page with pricing, scope, and what to expect.
Chimney Sweep in Medina
Our Chimney Sweep in Medina page covers the full process. In Medina, creosote buildup is the main driver, especially for homeowners who burn a lot of wood from November through March. The sweep removes creosote and soot from the flue, smoke chamber, and firebox, then we check the damper and run a quick visual on the liner. We lay drop cloths, run a HEPA vacuum, and leave the room cleaner than we found it. A standard sweep here takes about an hour to ninety minutes.
Chimney Inspection in Medina
Our Chimney Inspection in Medina page explains the three levels of inspection and which one fits your situation. For older Medina homes, a Level 2 inspection is the one we recommend most often. It includes a closed-circuit camera run down the entire flue, plus a check of the cap, crown, flashing, and firebox. The camera footage is part of what you get with the report, so you are never taking our word on a liner issue. We can usually get an inspection on the calendar within a few days.
Chimney Repair in Medina
Our Chimney Repair in Medina page details common repairs, from crown resealing to full flue relining. The freeze-thaw cycle here makes crowns and mortar joints the most frequent repair calls we get from Medina. When we do quote a repair, the quote is written, itemized, and carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if a covered repair fails within one full year, we return and fix it at no charge. We specify materials like HeatShield and DuraFlex when the job calls for them, and the warranty terms are printed on the paperwork.

What pushes a Medina price toward the top of that range is usually access: a steep roof pitch, a chimney on a three-story Victorian, or heavy creosote from years between sweeps. One thing that never changes the price is surprises at the door. The written quote is the price, before any tool comes off the truck.
