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.

What Our Offers Don’t Cover
We don’t do “today only” pressure or fake expiration dates. Every special on this page runs through December 31, 2026, because we want you to plan ahead, not panic-book. We don’t stack discounts, and we don’t honor competitor coupons. What we do guarantee: no surprise charges, no upsell without camera evidence you can see for yourself, and no arguing if something isn’t right. Our K.E.Y.S. code governs everything we do in Ellicott City: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it.
Why We Inspect Before We Quote
Ellicott City’s housing stock spans three centuries, from Main Street Federal brick to 1970s split-levels in Centennial and modern builds in Turf Valley. A chimney in a 1920s stone home has different needs than a factory-built unit in a 1995 colonial. That’s why we start with a Level-2 camera inspection on every service call. You’ll see the photos. We’ll explain what you’re looking at in plain English. If work can safely wait until next season, we’ll tell you. If it can’t, we’ll show you exactly why. Nothing gets recommended without documentation.
FAQ: Questions About Our Specials
No. Our standing offers don’t stack. We’ll apply whichever discount saves you more money on that particular job. Call (410) 305-7884 and we’ll run both numbers before you book.
The seasonal tune-up includes a visual inspection and basic sweep. If we spot something concerning, we’ll recommend a full Level-2 inspection and quote it separately. You’ll see the photos before any additional work is approved. Call (410) 305-7884 to schedule.
Bring us their written estimate for our free second opinion. We’ve found that some Ellicott City homeowners are told they need $3,000 in liner work when a stainless steel repair sleeve or HeatShield cerfractory seal would solve the problem for a fraction of the cost. We’ll show you what we see. Call (410) 305-7884 to book the second look.
We schedule seven days a week during burning season, and our phones are staffed by a live person 24/7. Most jobs are completed in a single visit. We’ll give you a firm arrival window and call when we’re en route. Call (410) 305-7884 to check next available.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every service. If it’s not right, we come back. In writing, no arguing, no paperwork to chase down. That’s been our policy since Russell Haines founded Hearthstone Chimney Co. in 1984, and it’s not changing. Call (410) 305-7884 with any concern.
