Fast, Reliable Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Across Naples
A Level 1 chimney sweep in Naples typically runs $149-$199, while a Level 2 inspection with camera runs $289-$389. Most appointments are completed in a single visit, and our technicians carry the equipment to handle both routine maintenance and the moisture-related damage that Florida’s Gulf Coast throws at chimneys here.
We’ve been answering calls from Naples homeowners since 1984. Russell Haines built Hearthstone Chimney Co. on the principle that a sweep should explain what they found, show you the photos, and leave your fireplace ready to use without a second thought. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians serve homes from Port Royal to Pelican Bay, from the estates along Gordon Drive to the established neighborhoods near 34104. When you call (844) 803-1545, a live person answers - 24 hours a day, every day of the year. No voicemail, no callback queue.
Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Naples’s Preferred Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Company
Naples is not a typical chimney market, and a technician trained for Buffalo winters will miss what matters here. Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep team understands that Collier County’s subtropical humidity, salt-laden coastal air, and six-month snowbird vacancy cycles create problems that northern sweeps rarely encounter. We’ve documented moisture intrusion, spalling mortar, and wildlife nesting in chimneys from Aqualane Shores to Golden Gate - and we know the difference between a decorative gas-insert flue and a masonry chimney that was built to vent real wood smoke.
Over 42 years, we’ve earned a strong local reputation by showing up when we say, pricing upfront with no surprises, and standing behind every job with our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we come back. No paperwork, no arguing. Our Naples customers are homeowners who have lived in their houses for twenty-plus years and intend to stay. They’ve been burned by contractors before, and they appreciate a square deal.
Calls are answered by a live person 24/7. Most jobs are completed in a single visit. And every inspection ends with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict - documented like an engineer, explained like a craftsman.
Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Services in Naples
Level 1 Inspection
A Level 1 inspection is the annual standard for chimneys that have not changed in use or condition. In Naples, where many fireplaces sit idle for ten or eleven months, this inspection often reveals what the homeowner cannot see from the hearth: corrosion on the damper, moisture staining on the smoke chamber, or a chimney cap displaced by summer storms. We examine the readily accessible portions of the chimney exterior, interior, and connecting appliance. The inspection runs $149-$189 and includes a basic sweep if light soot or debris is present.
Level 2 Inspection
Level 2 is required when a property changes hands, after a chimney fire or lightning strike, or when you’re modifying your fuel type or appliance. This is where our camera inspection earns its keep. We run a high-resolution camera through the full flue length, documenting every crack, gap, or moisture intrusion in photos you receive. In Naples’s 1980s-2000s housing stock, we regularly find unlined flues in Mediterranean-style homes that were never built for wood burning - a critical safety issue that a visual-only inspection misses. Level 2 with camera runs $289-$389. We use professional-grade equipment from Copperfield and Famco to ensure accurate documentation.
Creosote Removal
Creosote buildup is less common in Naples than in northern markets, but it still occurs - particularly in homes near 34101 and 34102 where owners burn seasoned oak or use manufactured logs during the brief winter season. Stage 1 creosote (sooty, brushable) and Stage 2 (tar-like, requiring mechanical removal) are what we typically encounter here. Stage 3 glazed creosote, which requires chemical treatment, is rare but not unheard of. Removal pricing ranges from $189 for light buildup to $349 for heavy glazed deposits requiring multiple treatments. We finish with a DuraFlex brush system that leaves the flue clean without damaging older mortar.
Soot Removal & Fireplace Cleaning
Soot accumulation in Naples chimneys often comes from incomplete combustion in gas inserts or from debris rather than wood smoke. Our fireplace cleaning service removes soot from the firebox, smoke shelf, and damper area, then vacuums with HEPA filtration so your living room stays clean. For snowbird owners returning to homes along 34103, this service is often bundled with a moisture-damage assessment - six months of unmonitored humidity can leave surprising deposits. Fireplace cleaning runs $169-$229 depending on appliance type and accessibility.

Trusted Brands We Service in Naples
We stock professional-grade materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Famco - the brands we trust for flue liners, crown coatings, and chimney cap replacements. Because we maintain inventory for the Naples market, most repairs that surface during your sweep can be completed same-day without waiting for parts to ship. No builder-grade substitutes, no improvising with hardware-store pieces that won’t last a Gulf Coast summer. When we recommend a component, it’s the same material we’d install in our own homes.
Common Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Problems We See in Naples Homes
- Moisture intrusion from unmonitored summer vacancy. Snowbird homes in Port Royal, Pelican Bay, and throughout 34102 sit empty April through October - the wettest months. Without regular airflow, humidity condenses inside the flue, accelerating spalling on brick faces and rusting metal dampers that were already stressed by salt air.
- Wildlife nesting in uncapped flues. Raccoons, squirrels, and chimney swifts treat an unprotected flue like a hollow tree. The swifts are federally protected; once they nest, removal must wait until fledging. A proper cap installed during your sweep prevents this entirely, and we see this scenario far more in Naples’s seasonal-vacancy market than in year-round occupied cities.
- Efflorescence and mold in decorative masonry. Many Naples homes built during the 1980s-2000s boom feature ornamental fireplaces that were never intended for wood burning. The masonry still breathes, still absorbs humidity, and still grows white efflorescence or black mold inside the firebox - a problem the owner discovers only when they light that first December fire.
- Hurricane-displaced caps and flashing. Collier County’s storm season routinely sends chimney caps into neighboring yards and peels back flashing at the roofline. The resulting rainwater intrusion sits undetected for months, rotting adjacent framing and staining interior ceilings. We inspect for this damage during every sweep and carry replacement caps from Olympia Chimney for same-day installation.

Naples pricing runs roughly 10-15% above the Florida state average, primarily due to higher labor costs in Collier County and the specialized equipment needed for coastal corrosion issues. However, our $89 Seasonal Tune-Up and permanent 5% Senior and Veteran discount help offset this.
