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 St. Augustine, FL
Flint Chimney Sweep provides chimney sweeping, inspection, and repair in St. Augustine, FL, with documented pricing before any work begins. A standard chimney sweep in St. Augustine typically runs $219 to $289, depending on flue condition and roof access. St. Augustine’s mix of historic masonry chimneys and newer suburban construction means most jobs sit on two different ends of the spectrum, and we schedule both with the same rule: the price we write down is the price you approve. Call (830) 251-4560 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why St. Augustine Homes Are Different
St. Augustine has some of the oldest standing chimneys in Florida, and that changes the work. Homes along the historic district carry masonry that was built before modern flue liners existed, so the brick itself is often doing the job a liner normally would. Salt air off the Matanzas River and the Atlantic works on mortar joints year-round, and the humid summer months push creosote to cure differently than it does in drier climates. On the newer side, developments around World Golf Village and Palencia have prefabricated chimneys that follow a different inspection protocol entirely.
What this means practically: a sweep in a 1920s Lincolnville bungalow is a slower, more careful job than a sweep in a 2012 home near Treaty Park. We plan for that. Roof pitch varies across St. Johns County, and a lot of older roofs were built steep to shed the afternoon storms that roll in off the Intracoastal. If a chimney is inaccessible from a ladder, we’ll tell you before we start what the access plan is and what it costs.
Our Main St. Augustine Services
The two calls St. Augustine homeowners make most are for annual sweeps ahead of burning season and for inspections after a storm or before closing on an older home. Repair work tends to follow the inspections, once the camera shows what’s actually going on inside the flue.
Chimney Sweep in St. Augustine
Our Chimney Sweep in St. Augustine page covers the full sweep process in detail. For homes in the historic district, we take extra care with older brick that may have softened over decades of humidity and salt exposure. The sweep itself removes creosote and soot from the flue walls, and we cover your floors and furnishings before any tool comes off the truck. Written price comes first, every time.
Chimney Inspection in St. Augustine
Our Chimney Inspection in St. Augustine page explains the three levels of inspection and when each applies. In St. Augustine, we recommend a Level 2 camera inspection whenever a home changes hands or after any hurricane-force wind event, because storm damage to a chimney crown or cap is often invisible from the ground. You see the camera footage yourself, so you’re never asked to approve a repair you haven’t seen evidence for.
Chimney Repair in St. Augustine
Our Chimney Repair in St. Augustine page details the repair work we take on, from crown sealing to flue relining with DuraFlex or HeatShield products. Every repair we make in St. Augustine carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise, a written guarantee valid for a full year from the service date. If a covered repair fails inside that window, we return at no charge. That applies whether the repair is on a 100-year-old chimney in Davis Shores or a newer build off State Road 16.

Roof pitch, flue condition, and access distance are the three factors that most often push a St. Augustine job toward the upper end of a range. Historic masonry chimneys can also add time when the brick needs stabilizing before a sweep. Whatever the number is, you get it in writing before work starts, no exceptions.

FAQs About Chimney Company in St. Augustine
Most St. Augustine homes are scheduled within the same week, and historic district jobs are worked into routes alongside the rest of St. Johns County. We don’t promise same-day because the appointment books are set that morning by dispatch. Call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll give you a concrete window, not a range that stretches across three days.
Routine sweeping and inspections don’t require permits. Structural repairs like flue relining or crown rebuilding may, depending on the scope, and historic district homes can face additional review through the city’s architectural guidelines. We’ll tell you on the estimate which projects may need sign-off before work begins, and we’ll prepare the scope documentation your board or the city needs.
