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.

Current Offers
$40 Off Any Repair Over $200
If your repair quote comes in over $200, we knock $40 off the invoice.

Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (516) 968-5380.
Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate
Got a written estimate from another chimney company on Long Island? Bring it to us. We’ll inspect the same chimney, go over the paperwork line by line, and give you our read on whether that work is actually needed, or whether the other guy was trying to sell you a liner you don’t need. The second opinion costs you nothing.

Why We Run These Offers
Long Island chimneys take a beating from salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and winters that don’t quit. First-degree creosote is a brush job. Third-degree is a glaze, and it costs real money to remove. Catch it early, and the cleaning is routine. We’d rather see your flue once a year at the sweep price than quote you a rebuild after a chimney fire.
That’s why the offers exist. $40 off a repair over $200. A free second opinion on a competitor’s written estimate. No trip charge inside the county. 10% off for seniors and veterans, always. These aren’t loss leaders or pressure tactics. They’re an honest way to get Long Island homeowners to take care of a chimney before it becomes a hazard.
Your flue doesn’t care how the fire looks. It cares how it breathes. Once a year, burn or no burn. Chimneys break in the off-season too, and the off-season is when we’re easiest to schedule. Call (516) 968-5380 and ask about any offer on this page. Wendell’s the one down the road, and he’s been answering the phone since 1999.
Frequently Asked Questions
A standard chimney cleaning and sweep for a wood-burning fireplace on Long Island typically runs $180 to $340, depending on how much creosote has built up, the flue height, and whether the chimney has been maintained. Gas fireplace service and inspection work often falls in the $150 to $250 range. The price we quote on the phone is the price on the invoice, and we don’t add a trip charge inside our service county. Call (516) 968-5380 for an exact quote, and ask about the standing offers while you’re on the line.
Sometimes yes, and a lot more often, no. We use camera inspection on every chimney we evaluate, and we’ll show you the footage. If the liner is cracked or deteriorated to the point of danger, we’ll tell you. If it can be repaired with HeatShield or a patch rather than a full replacement, we’ll tell you that first. Wendell will tell you when a job doesn’t need doing before he tells you anything else. Bring us any other company’s written estimate and we’ll give you a free second opinion.
Once a year, burn or no burn. Chimneys break in the off-season too, and a yearly sweep catches first-degree creosote before it becomes third-degree glaze. The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspection and cleaning as needed, and we follow that standard. If you’re burning green wood or using the fireplace more than three times a week in winter, you may need it twice a year. Call (516) 968-5380 to schedule, and remember the 10% senior and veteran discount applies every time.
First-degree creosote becomes second-degree, then third-degree glaze. Glaze is flammable, hard to remove, and it’s the fuel for chimney fires. A chimney fire can crack your flue liner, damage your masonry, and in the worst case, spread to the house. That’s not scare talk, it’s what we pull out of flues every winter on Long Island. A yearly sweep costs a fraction of a rebuild. Call (516) 968-5380 and get on the schedule before burning season.
