Chimney cleaning can address buildup and fireplace concerns before they interrupt your use of the hearth. We serve Minneapolis and the Twin Cities metro area, traveling to customers’ homes within 50 miles.
You see soot or creosote buildup
Dark residue in the fireplace or chimney can signal that deposits have collected. Cleaning removes buildup from the areas included in the agreed scope; we explain what the chimney needs before starting.
Smoke is entering the room
Smoke that spills into a room is a reason to have the fireplace and chimney checked. Cleaning may address residue, while a separate repair may be needed if the cause is a damaged or obstructed part.
You are preparing to use a fireplace
A chimney cleaning visit can help you address accumulated deposits before using the fireplace. Tell us what you have noticed and what type of fireplace you use so we can understand the service you are requesting.
It has been a while since the last cleaning
When you do not know when the chimney was last cleaned, describe what you can see and any changes in fireplace performance. We assess the work needed and recommend only services relevant to the chimney’s condition.
You want cleaning rather than a repair
Cleaning addresses soot and deposits; it does not replace repairs to damaged masonry, a crown, flashing, or other chimney parts. If we identify a separate concern, we explain it and can handle chimney repair when needed.
What Our Minneapolis Chimney Cleaning Covers
The work is based on the service you book and the chimney’s condition. We explain the cleaning scope clearly and do not recommend add-on work unless it is needed.
- Review of the concern — We start with the issue you reported, such as visible residue or smoke entering the room, to focus the visit on your chimney and fireplace.
- Assessment of cleaning needs — We look at the chimney’s condition to determine what cleaning is appropriate. A separate chimney inspection or video inspection is a distinct service when the situation calls for it.
- Removal of chimney deposits — Chimney cleaning addresses soot and creosote buildup within the agreed scope. The amount and location of residue help determine the work involved.
- Creosote removal when needed — Creosote removal is available for chimneys with that type of deposit. We explain whether it is part of the required work rather than treating it as an automatic add-on.
- Fireplace cleaning — Fireplace cleaning is available when the fireplace itself also needs attention. We clarify whether you are booking chimney cleaning, fireplace cleaning, or both.
- Clear explanation of other concerns — If cleaning reveals a concern that calls for another service, we explain what we found and why it matters. You can then decide whether to arrange the additional work.

How a Chimney Cleaning Visit Works
You book service for your home, and we come to you. Visit length depends on the chimney’s condition and the work required; we can describe the expected scope when you arrange the appointment.
- Arrange the service — Call (612) 806-0154 or use our contact page to book. Tell us what you have noticed, whether you are concerned about soot, creosote, or smoke, and whether you need chimney cleaning or a different service.
- Make the fireplace accessible — Before the visit, clear personal items from the area around the fireplace and make sure we can reach the hearth. Share any information you have about previous cleaning or changes in how the fireplace is working.
- Assess and clean — We review the condition and cleaning needs, explain the work, and carry out the agreed chimney cleaning. The condition of the chimney and the scope of the job affect how long the visit takes.
- Review what was done — We explain the work completed and identify any separate service needs we found. Recommendations are limited to what your home’s chimney requires.
Chimney Cleaning Prices and Job Scope
Chimney cleaning starts from $89. The final scope depends on the cleaning needed and the chimney’s condition; a chimney with more buildup or a separate issue may require work beyond cleaning.
A repair, inspection, or fireplace cleaning is a separate service rather than an automatic part of every cleaning appointment. We explain the work and recommend only services you need. For a different service area, see chimney cleaning in Saint Paul or chimney cleaning in Roseville.

Frequently asked questions
How can I tell whether my fireplace needs chimney cleaning?
Visible soot or creosote buildup and smoke entering the room are reasons to have the chimney’s condition assessed. Tell us what you have noticed so we can focus the visit on the concern and determine whether cleaning is appropriate.
What does a chimney cleaning service include?
The work addresses chimney soot and creosote within the agreed cleaning scope. We assess the chimney’s condition, explain what cleaning is needed, and identify separately if you need an inspection, fireplace cleaning, or repair.
How long does chimney cleaning take?
Visit length depends on the chimney’s condition and the work required, so there is no single duration for every home. When you book, describe the fireplace and the concern so we can outline the expected scope.
Should I prepare anything before chimney cleaners near me arrive?
Clear personal items from around the fireplace and make the hearth accessible. If you know when the chimney was last cleaned or have noticed smoke or residue, share that when arranging the visit.
Do you provide chimney cleaning outside Minneapolis?
Yes. We serve Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and Twin Cities metro communities within 50 miles, including chimney cleaning in Bloomington. We travel to the customer’s home.
Is chimney sweep cleaning the same as chimney repair?
No. Chimney sweep cleaning addresses deposits, while chimney repair addresses a damaged or failing part. If cleaning identifies a separate concern, we explain the difference and recommend additional work only when it is needed.
