Revere’s Most Meticulous Chimney Sweep—Where Craftsmanship Meets Spotless Perfection

A professional sweep from Tobias Chimney Inc starts at $199 for a standard cleaning, while a DIY kit runs $30–$50 but lacks the tools, training, and insurance to handle Revere’s unique chimney challenges. Our price includes a Level 2 inspection, ash removal, and a lifetime warranty—things no boxed kit can offer. Plus, we guarantee your chimney is safer and cleaner than when we arrived.

A Level 2 inspection costs $125 because it uses a camera to inspect the entire flue, including areas hidden from a basic sweep. In Revere, where salt corrosion and creosote buildup are common, this extra step catches damage before it leads to costly repairs. Most sweeps skip it to save time, but we don’t—because your chimney’s safety isn’t negotiable.

In a standard Revere triple-decker, our sweep takes 60–90 minutes from arrival to cleanup. We arrive on time, work efficiently, and leave your home spotless—no tarps, no dust, and no lingering mess. Most competitors take twice as long and leave you with a fine layer of soot on your furniture.

Yes—once we’ve swept and inspected your chimney, you can safely use your fireplace the same day. We test for draft issues and clear any obstructions, so you won’t risk smoke backing up into your Beachmont home. Just wait for the ash to cool before lighting your first fire.

Most Revere homeowners ignore their chimney crown until it cracks, allowing water to seep into the masonry and freeze, causing spalling and costly repairs. We inspect crowns during every sweep and offer repairs starting at $249—far cheaper than replacing a ruined chimney. Don’t wait until spring to check yours.

Stainless steel liners cost $800–$1,500 but extend your chimney’s life by preventing corrosion from Revere’s salty air and acidic creosote. Older masonry chimneys weren’t built for modern fuels, and without a liner, they degrade faster. We only recommend it when necessary—but when we do, it’s a one-time fix for decades of worry.

If you burn wood weekly in Revere’s winter, you need a sweep every 6 months—once before the season starts and once mid-winter to remove creosote buildup. Skipping a mid-season sweep risks a dangerous chimney fire, especially in older homes near the coast.

After a nor’easter or coastal storm, a neglected chimney can develop hidden cracks or blockages that lead to smoke leaks or carbon monoxide risks. A post-storm inspection from us costs $99 but could save you $2,000+ in repairs. Most homeowners don’t realize how much damage a single storm can cause.
