Below you will find our current pricing for common chimney and fireplace services. For services that require an on-site evaluation, we provide free estimates with no obligation.
Call Santa's Sweepers at (551) 227-7111 and we will give you straight answers about what your project will cost.
These services have fixed pricing. The price you see is the price you pay.
Our most popular service. This includes a complete chimney cleaning using professional-grade brushes and HEPA-filtered vacuums, plus a complimentary visual inspection of your entire chimney system. We remove creosote buildup, soot, and any blockages from your flue. The inspection covers the flue liner, damper, smoke shelf, firebox, and chimney crown. You will receive a full report of our findings.
This service is recommended annually for any homeowner who uses their fireplace or wood stove. The $199 price applies to standard residential chimneys. Learn more about our chimney cleaning service.
If you do not need a cleaning but want to know the condition of your chimney, our standalone inspection is $99. This is a thorough visual inspection of the accessible areas of your chimney system. We check the flue liner, damper, firebox, chimney crown, cap, and exterior masonry. You receive a written report with our findings and recommendations.
A standalone inspection is a good option if you just moved into a new home, have not used your fireplace in several years, or want a professional opinion before the heating season. Learn more about our chimney inspection service.
Clogged dryer vents are a leading cause of house fires. Our dryer vent cleaning service removes lint buildup from the entire length of your dryer vent, from the back of the dryer to the exterior exhaust point. We use specialized rotary brushes and high-powered vacuums to clear the vent completely.
After the cleaning, your dryer will run more efficiently, dry clothes faster, and most importantly, operate safely. This service is recommended at least once per year. Learn more about our dryer vent cleaning service.
The following services require an on-site evaluation because every chimney is different. We provide free estimates with no obligation. Once we assess your chimney, we will give you a clear, written quote before any work begins.
Chimney repairs cover a wide range of work, which is why the cost range is broad. On the lower end, you might need minor tuckpointing (mortar joint repair) or a small crown patch. On the higher end, you could be looking at a full crown rebuild, significant masonry restoration, or structural repairs.
Common chimney repairs we perform include:
The cost depends on the extent of the damage, the height of the chimney, accessibility, and the materials required. Learn more about our chimney repair services.
If your chimney's flue liner is cracked, deteriorated, or missing, relining is necessary to make the chimney safe and functional. The cost depends on the type of liner (stainless steel, aluminum, or cast-in-place), the length of the flue, and the complexity of the installation.
Stainless steel liners are the most common choice for wood-burning fireplaces and offer excellent durability. Aluminum liners are used for certain gas appliances. The diameter, length, and any bends in the flue all affect the final cost. Learn more about our chimney relining services.
A chimney cap keeps rain, snow, animals, and debris out of your chimney. The cost depends on the type of cap (single flue vs. full-width), the material (stainless steel, copper), and the size and configuration of your chimney top.
A quality chimney cap is one of the best investments you can make to protect your chimney system. It prevents water damage, keeps animals out, and stops downdrafts. Learn more about chimney cap installation.
Water is a chimney's worst enemy. Waterproofing involves applying a breathable sealant to the exterior masonry of your chimney to prevent water penetration while still allowing moisture vapor to escape from the inside. The cost depends on the size of the chimney and its current condition.
Waterproofing is especially important in Northern New Jersey where the freeze-thaw cycle can cause significant damage to unprotected masonry. Water enters small cracks, freezes, expands, and makes the cracks bigger over time. Learn more about chimney waterproofing.
Fireplace repair costs depend entirely on the type of repair needed. Cracked firebox panels, damaged fireplace doors, deteriorated firebrick, and damper issues all have different price points. Contact us for a free evaluation and estimate. Learn more about our fireplace repair services.
Required when replacing a furnace, boiler, or water heater that vents through your chimney. Cost varies based on chimney type and condition. Learn more about chimney certification in NJ.

If you are wondering why chimney repair and relining costs have such wide ranges, here are the main factors that influence pricing:
You may get different quotes from different chimney companies. Here is why that happens and what to look for:
Some companies quote low to get in the door and then add charges once they start the work. Others may recommend unnecessary repairs to increase the bill. At Santa's Sweepers, we quote honestly and stick to our prices. If something changes during the job, we discuss it with you before proceeding.
The quality of materials matters too. Cheaper materials may save money upfront but can lead to problems sooner. We use quality materials on every job because a chimney repair should last for years, not months.
When comparing quotes, make sure you are comparing the same scope of work. Ask each company exactly what is included in their price. A lower quote that skips important steps is not actually a better deal.

Chimney repair costs depend on several factors including the type and extent of damage, chimney height and accessibility, materials needed, and the specific repair required. A minor mortar joint repair is very different from rebuilding a chimney crown or replacing a damaged flue liner.
