‘My chimney looks fine, why isn’t the quote the same as my neighbor’s?’
Atco’s older homes and newer builds both need sweeps, but their chimneys tell different stories. A single-story home in Lindenwold might need a simpler sweep than a three-story Victorian in Winslow Township, especially if that chimney hasn’t been cleaned since last winter. We charge by actual work, not guesswork: creosote stage (light, medium, or ‘glazed-on’), chimney type (masonry, metal, or prefab), and whether your flue liner’s intact. See our full services to match your setup. Pro tip: Atco’s humidity speeds up creosote buildup. If your fireplace smokes more than usual, that’s your first clue costs could rise.
‘I saw a cheaper sweep online, what’s Mate Chimney Inc charging for?’
Here’s the truth: A $99 ‘basic sweep’ might skip inspecting your damper, crown, or smoke chamber, all critical in Atco’s rainy seasons. We include those checks because water damage hides fast here. Our pricing starts at $120 for a standard sweep (with inspection) but jumps if we find cracks, rust, or animal nests (common in older chimneys near the Atco-Woodstown line). Compare DIY vs. pro cleaning, you’ll see why cutting corners costs more later. And yes, we’re licensed and insured. Ask us for proof anytime.
