Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Stafford, TX
Chimney cleaning in Stafford runs between $189 and $339 for a standard sweep, and that number changes depending on what we find once we’re on the roof. Most of the Stafford homes we work on were built in the 1970s and 1980s, which means we’re not just brushing out soot. We’re looking for cracks in original clay liners, rusted damper assemblies, and water damage that Houston humidity has been working on for decades. Nathan Corliss and the team coordinate scheduling from our Houston office, and crews serve Stafford daily. If you need a chimney company that puts the price in writing before any work starts, call us at (903) 961-6496.
Why Stafford Homes Are Different
Stafford’s housing stock has a story, and that story shapes every chimney job we do here. The city’s quick suburban build-out in the 1970s and 1980s produced street after street of single-story brick veneer tract homes, many with original masonry fireplaces and clay flue liners. The homes were built well, but they were built on the same handful of floor plans, which means we see the same structural stress points and flue designs repeated across neighborhoods.
What really sets Stafford apart is what the climate does to those original installations. The humid subtropical weather means heavy seasonal rain, high humidity, and the occasional freeze-thaw cycle that widens hairline cracks in older clay liners. Metal damper assemblies rust faster here than they do in drier parts of Texas. Efflorescence, that white chalky residue, shows up on interior masonry as moisture moves through the brick. In neighborhoods like Quail Valley and Meadow Village, we can almost set our watch by the post-rainy-season spike in calls from homeowners discovering water-stained ceilings around their chimney chase. That stain is almost always failed flashing at the original roofline, and it’s exactly the kind of thing a routine sweep should catch before it spreads.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Stafford Services
Stafford homeowners call us about three things most often: getting the flue cleaned, getting the whole system inspected, and fixing what the inspection finds. Each service has its own page here, so you can read the details without wading through everything at once.
Chimney Sweep in Stafford
A sweep in Stafford means more than running brushes. Because so many homes here have original clay flue liners from the 1970s and 1980s, we’re watching for early signs of deterioration while we clean. The humid climate means we also check damper assemblies for rust and the firebox for moisture staining. We leave drop cloths down, run a HEPA-filtered vacuum, and leave your hearth cleaner than we found it. Read more on our Chimney Sweep in Stafford page.
Chimney Inspection in Stafford
Most Stafford homeowners haven’t had anyone on the roof since they bought the house. An inspection changes that. We run a camera through the flue so you can see exactly what we see: cracked tiles, gaps in the mortar joints, or a liner that’s past its useful life. Given how many Stafford homes share the same builders’ plans, we know which stress points to check first. See what’s covered on our Chimney Inspection in Stafford page.
Fireplace Repair in Stafford
When a chimney inspection turns up a problem, the fix usually falls into one of three categories: new flashing at the roofline, a repaired or replaced flue liner, or a damper replacement. We use chimney-trade materials from manufacturers like DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco, not whatever happened to be in the van. Every repair gets a written guarantee. Details are on our Fireplace Repair in Stafford page.

Brands We Service in Stafford
We service and repair chimneys and fireplaces built around products from the major chimney-trade brands, and we keep common replacement parts for our brands on hand. When we specify materials for a Stafford repair, we’re usually pulling from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Copperfield, or Olympia Chimney. That means less waiting on a parts order and faster turnaround when your fireplace needs a new liner or a replacement damper.

"Sweep was done well and the price was fair. I did have to call twice to get the inspection report emailed over, but once I reached them they sent it right away. Fireplace is working great."
- Dwayne Ellis"Had them sweep and check the chimney before we listed the house. Clean report, no soot anywhere, and the buyer's inspector had zero questions. Painless."
- Roland Pace"New cap installed after a critter got in last winter. Quick job, fair price, and he even swept the old nest mess out of the firebox for me. Nice guy."
