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.

When we say a number, that’s the number on the invoice.

Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate
Got a quote from another company that feels high, or recommends work you can’t verify? Bring us their written estimate and we’ll inspect your chimney with our Level-2 camera, show you the photos, and give you our plain-English verdict - no charge, no pressure.

Mention this offer when you call (301) 479-9806.
$89 Seasonal Tune-Up
Our seasonal tune-up covers a full chimney sweep, exterior visual inspection, and basic fireplace functionality check - the same pre-burning-season prep we do on our own homes in Silver Spring before the first cold snap hits. It’s not a rushed job. Most tune-ups take 60 to 90 minutes, and if we find something that needs attention, you’ll see it on camera before any additional work is discussed. Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (301) 479-9806.
Permanent 5% Senior and Veteran Discount
This isn’t a seasonal promotion that disappears. Active military, veterans, and seniors 65 and older receive 5% off every service, every visit, with no expiration date. We ask because it’s the right thing to do, not because we need a parade. The discount stacks with our other offers where applicable, and it’s noted on your account for future calls. Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (301) 479-9806.
How to Redeem
Step 1: Call and mention the offer. Dial (301) 479-9806 - a live person answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Tell them which special you’re calling about.
Step 2: Book your visit. We’ll find a time that works. Most jobs are completed in a single visit by our background-checked, uniformed technicians. You’ll get upfront pricing before any work begins.
Step 3: Present at time of service. Mention the offer again when our technician arrives. The discount is applied on the spot. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice - no surprises.
What These Offers Don’t Cover (And Why That Matters)
We don’t do bait-and-switch. These specials apply to standard residential chimney and fireplace work in Silver Spring and our 18 surrounding service communities. They don’t cover commercial properties, new construction, or work requiring permits from Montgomery County that we didn’t pull ourselves. If your chimney needs a Level-2 inspection beyond the tune-up scope, we’ll tell you before charging. Photos you can see, a plain-English verdict - documented like an engineer, explained like a craftsman.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers everything we do. In writing, no arguing. If it’s not right, we come back. That’s the Keystone Standard: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it. Russell Haines set that code when he founded Hearthstone in 1984, and we still operate by it.
Why We Don’t Do “Limited Time” Pressure
Every autumn, Silver Spring’s mailboxes fill with chimney sweep coupons screaming “ACT NOW” in red letters. We’re not going to do that. Our offers run through December 31, 2026 because that’s a real date we can stand behind. We’re planning to be here in thirty more years, so we act accordingly - no disappearing discounts, no fake urgency, no fine print that surfaces after the work is done.
The honest urgency in chimney work is seasonal, not hourly. Montgomery County’s freeze-thaw cycles start hard in late October. A cracked crown or deteriorating liner that looks manageable in September can let water into your masonry all winter, turning a $200 repair into a $2,000 rebuild by spring. That’s not scare-selling. That’s what we see on calls in Kemp Mill and Takoma Park every March.
Call (301) 479-9806 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, in most cases. The 5% senior and veteran discount applies to the total after other discounts, so a $400 repair becomes $350 with the $50 off, then $332.50 after the 5%. We’ll walk you through the math before you book.
The seasonal tune-up includes a visual inspection from the firebox and rooftop where accessible. If we spot creosote buildup, cracks, or other concerns that warrant a closer look, we’ll recommend our Level-2 camera inspection and show you exactly why. No camera work is done without your go-ahead, and you’ll never pay for documentation you didn’t request.
Call anyway. We refresh our offers annually, and the senior and veteran discount never expires. Even if a specific promotion has ended, our upfront pricing and 90-Day Done Right Promise don’t change. We’ll still be here.
We don’t match gimmicks. If another company’s quote is lower, use our free second opinion offer. We’ll inspect their work scope against what your chimney actually needs. Often the “cheaper” quote omits necessary steps or uses builder-grade materials we won’t install. A square deal means no surprises on the bill - not just a low opening number.
No. Estimates are free, whether you found us through a special or a neighbor’s recommendation. We don’t charge for showing up, measuring, and explaining what we found. The only cost is your time, and we respect that by being punctual. We’ll be there when we say.
