Misquamicut Chimney Sweep Experts

Two Decades of Chimney Expertise

Certified Chimney Inspections has been serving Misquamicut and Rhode Island homeowners since 2000. We were formally established in 2016, but our same experienced team has been working together for over twenty years.

Every technician is CSI certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America. That means we’ve completed rigorous training and testing to understand chimney systems, safety protocols, and proper cleaning techniques. You’re not getting someone who learned chimney work from YouTube videos.

We also operate a retail stove store and offer in-house financing, which tells you something about our commitment to this industry and our customers’ long-term satisfaction.

Chimney Sweeping Process

How Professional Chimney Sweeping Works

The process starts with a free estimate where our technicians assess your chimney’s condition and explain exactly what needs to be done. No surprises, no pressure tactics, just straightforward information about what your chimney needs.

During the actual cleaning, our technicians use professional equipment to remove creosote, soot, and debris from your chimney liner and smoke chamber. We also inspect the chimney structure, cap, damper, and firebox for any issues that could affect safety or performance.

After cleaning, you get a clear explanation of what was found, what was done, and any recommendations for maintenance or repairs. If additional work is needed, you’ll get honest pricing and timeline information. The goal is a chimney that’s safe to use and a homeowner who understands exactly what they’re getting.

Chimney Sweep Services Included

Complete Chimney and Fireplace Services

Chimney sweeping includes thorough cleaning of the entire chimney system, from firebox to cap. But we go beyond basic cleaning to offer comprehensive chimney and fireplace services under one roof.

We specialize in fireplace restoration, stove installations for wood, pellet, and gas systems, and all types of chimney repairs. Having a retail stove store means we can handle complete fireplace makeovers, not just maintenance work.

Misquamicut’s coastal location means chimneys face salt air and moisture challenges that inland properties don’t deal with. We understand these local conditions and how they affect chimney systems over time. We know which materials hold up best and which maintenance schedules make sense for coastal Rhode Island homes.

How often should I have my chimney swept in Misquamicut?

Most Misquamicut homeowners need chimney sweeping annually if they use their fireplace regularly during winter months. The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspection and cleaning for chimneys that see regular use. However, if you only burn a few fires per year, you might stretch it to every two years. The key factor is how much creosote builds up, which depends on how often you burn fires, what type of wood you use, and how well your chimney draws. Our technicians can assess your specific situation and recommend the right schedule based on your actual usage patterns.

What does chimney sweep cost in Rhode Island?

Chimney sweeping costs in Rhode Island typically range from $150 to $300, depending on the chimney’s condition, height, and accessibility. Factors that affect pricing include how much buildup needs to be removed, whether the chimney has been maintained regularly, and if any minor repairs are needed during the cleaning process. We provide free estimates so you know the exact cost upfront. Our pricing reflects the fact that you’re getting CSI certified technicians with over 20 years of experience, not the cheapest option in town. That experience means thorough work, proper safety protocols, and honest assessments of what your chimney actually needs.

How do I know if my chimney needs cleaning?

Several signs indicate your chimney needs professional cleaning. White staining on the outside of your chimney, called efflorescence, suggests moisture problems that cleaning and inspection can address. If you notice smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney, that’s often a sign of blockage or buildup. A strong odor coming from your fireplace, especially during humid weather, usually means creosote buildup. Animals or birds in your chimney also indicate it’s time for cleaning and possibly cap installation. The safest approach is annual inspection regardless of these warning signs, since dangerous creosote buildup isn’t always obvious to homeowners.

Are your chimney sweeps certified and insured?

Yes, all our technicians are CSI certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America, which is the gold standard for chimney professional training. CSI certification requires extensive coursework, hands-on training, and testing on chimney systems, safety protocols, and proper cleaning techniques. We’re also fully licensed and insured for your protection. This certification and insurance coverage is listed on our website under the “Meet the Team” section. Many chimney sweeps in Rhode Island aren’t properly certified or insured, which puts homeowners at risk. Our CSI certification means you’re working with professionals who understand chimney systems thoroughly and follow industry best practices.

Do you provide free estimates for chimney sweeping?

We provide free estimates for all chimney sweeping and related services. During the estimate, our CSI certified technicians assess your chimney’s condition, explain what work is needed, and provide clear pricing with no hidden fees. The estimate includes inspection of your chimney cap, damper, firebox, and chimney structure to identify any issues beyond basic cleaning. We don’t use high-pressure sales tactics or try to sell you services you don’t need. The goal is to give you honest information about your chimney’s condition and fair pricing for the work that actually needs to be done. Most estimates can be scheduled within a few days of your call.

What other services do you offer besides chimney sweeping?

Beyond chimney sweeping, we offer comprehensive chimney and fireplace services including chimney repairs, fireplace restoration, and stove installations for wood, pellet, and gas systems. We operate a retail stove store, so we can handle complete fireplace makeovers and provide ongoing parts and service for stove systems. Our team excels in fireplace restoration work, bringing old fireplaces back to safe, functional condition. We also offer in-house financing for larger projects, making it easier to address significant chimney or fireplace needs. Having all these services under one roof means you work with the same experienced team whether you need basic cleaning or a complete fireplace renovation.
