Sell the inspection, price the sweep right

Chimney money is seasonal and repeatable — the annual sweep is the route, and the inspection is where the real work (and the real revenue) shows up. So price the Level 1 sweep fairly, then let the Level 2 earn its keep by documenting the flue on camera. Scale by the number of flues, keep relines and masonry on their own quotes, and the annual cycle books your fall for you.

Questions

How much does a chimney sweep cost?
A standard Level 1 sweep runs about $150–$250, with the national average near $250. A Level 2 camera inspection runs $250–$500 because it documents the flue on video. A stainless cap installed is $200–$500, and crown repair or a re-seal runs $150–$1,000 depending on damage. Heavy, glazed (stage-3) creosote removal adds $200–$500 in labor.
Why does a Level 2 inspection cost more than a sweep?
A Level 1 is a standard sweep plus a visual check. A Level 2 puts a camera up the flue and documents its condition — required when a home is sold, when the heating appliance changes, or after a chimney fire or a weather event. It takes longer and produces a record, so price it above the sweep. Sell it on what it proves, not just what it costs.
Should more flues or a bigger job cost more?
Yes. Each additional flue is another sweep, another inspection, another setup — so the multiplier scales the whole job. Keep relines, structural masonry, and gas-appliance work on their own quotes; those are separate jobs with their own risk and their own pricing.
