Arvada’s Most Trusted Chimney Safety & Fire Prevention Experts

For a standard single-family home in Arvada, a Level 1 chimney sweep starts at $149 and includes a thorough cleaning, visual inspection, and a detailed report. Larger or older systems may require Level 2 or 3 inspections, which start at $225, but we always provide a firm quote upfront—no surprises. We price by the job, not the hour, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before we arrive.

Winter inspections in Arvada are priced higher due to demand and the need for additional safety measures, like pre-heating flues to check for draft issues. We also prioritize emergency calls for carbon monoxide risks, which are more common during cold snaps. Our summer rates start at $99 for a Level 1 inspection, but winter work ensures your system is safe before peak heating season.

A standard Level 1 sweep for a home on 72nd Avenue takes 60–90 minutes, including setup, cleaning, and a walkthrough of our findings. Larger systems or those with heavy creosote may take up to 2 hours. We schedule appointments in 30-minute windows to minimize disruption, and we’ll call you 15 minutes before arrival.

After a thorough sweep, burning pine in your Arvada fireplace is safer, but it’s not risk-free. Pine produces more creosote than hardwoods, so we recommend using it sparingly and scheduling another sweep in 3–6 months. We’ll provide a burn-rate guide tailored to your wood type and usage to keep your chimney safe all winter.

A Level 1 inspection is the standard for routine maintenance—cleaning, visual check, and basic drafting test. A Level 2 inspection is required after major events (like a chimney fire or earthquake) or when selling your home in Arvada. It includes a video scan of the flue and a more detailed structural assessment, starting at $225.

If you burn wood every weekend in Arvada, we recommend sweeping twice per year—once before heating season and once mid-season. Heavy use accelerates creosote buildup, and Arvada’s altitude can dry wood faster, increasing residue. We’ll track your usage and remind you when it’s time for your next appointment.

Homes built before 1980 in Arvada often have unlined flues or masonry that’s deteriorated over time. These systems are more prone to cracks and leaks, which can allow carbon monoxide into living spaces. We recommend annual inspections for older chimneys to catch issues before they become hazards.

Clear a 3-foot path to your chimney, shovel snow from the roof access point, and ensure our technician has a dry workspace. If conditions are unsafe, we’ll reschedule at no charge. Safety first—we won’t risk our crew or your property in hazardous weather.
