Massachusetts' Trusted Chimney Cleaning & Inspection Experts

If you own a home on the North Shore of Massachusetts, you already know what New England winters demand. Fireplaces and wood stoves work hard from October through April — and every fire leaves behind creosote, soot, and wear that quietly builds until it becomes a problem. At Coastal Chimney Sweeps, we've spent over 11 years making sure that problem never catches North Shore homeowners off guard.

We serve Beverly, Salem, Danvers, Peabody, Gloucester, Marblehead, and more than 20 communities across the North Shore — seven days a week, 8am to 7pm. No franchises, no subcontractors. The owner handles every job personally, bringing professional-grade equipment and over 1,500 chimneys of experience to your doorstep.

We're a small operation by design. That means when you call, you reach someone who knows your street, has worked on homes like yours, and will show up on time with everything needed to finish the job in a single visit. Our Google reviews reflect what we hear most: on time, clean, honest, and thorough.

Transparent pricing. A written report after every visit. An owner who does the work. That's the Coastal Chimney difference — and it's why homeowners across the North Shore keep calling us back every season.

Our core service is chimney cleaning — thorough, mess-free sweeping that removes creosote, soot, bird nests, and blockages using HEPA-filtered vacuums and rotary cleaning systems. We follow NFPA 211 standards on every job and leave you with a written report and photos of your flue's condition when we're done. Cleaning is a flat $300, no surprises.

Beyond cleaning, we handle the full range of chimney repairs that North Shore homes commonly need: tuck pointing to restore deteriorating mortar, flashing repair to stop roof leaks at the chimney base, waterproofing treatments to protect masonry from coastal moisture and freeze-thaw cycles, chimney cap installation to keep rain and animals out, and wood-burning stove inspections and liner sizing for homeowners converting or upgrading their heating setup.

Annual inspections, pre-sale Level II inspections, leak diagnoses, or a long-overdue cleaning — whatever you need, we're available. Same-week appointments are usually available across the North Shore.
