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.

Call (781) 905-8338 and a live person will pick up, day or night, to walk you through what we’ve got running right now. We’ve been sweeping chimneys in Waltham and the surrounding towns for more than 42 years, and we’ve learned that honest pricing beats gimmicks every time.

Just a square deal.
Current Offers
$50 Off Any Repair Over $250

What These Offers Actually Cover
Here’s where homeowners in Waltham get tripped up. A “cheap sweep” from a guy with a shop-vac and a brush isn’t the same as what we do. Our $89 seasonal tune-up includes a proper NFPA-211 sweep with professional-grade tools, not a superficial dusting. The $50 repair discount applies to real masonry work, crown pours with HeatShield, liner repairs with DuraFlex, and cap installations using Gelco or Famco hardware. We’re not slapping a coupon on substandard work and calling it a deal.
The free second opinion has saved Waltham homeowners thousands. Last fall we looked at a quote for a full liner replacement on a home near Prospect Hill Park. Our camera showed the liner was sound. The “damage” was creosote buildup that a standard sweep cleared. That’s the difference between a sales pitch and an inspection.
The Fine Print That’s Actually Fine
Every offer here runs through December 31, 2026. No blackout dates, no “call within the next hour” pressure. You can combine the senior or veteran discount with the $50 repair credit. You cannot stack multiple dollar-off offers on the same job. The free second opinion requires a written estimate from another company dated within the last 30 days. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers all work regardless of which offer you use. In writing, no arguing.
Why We Do It This Way
We’ve been at this since 1984. Russell Haines started Hearthstone Chimney Co. with the idea that a chimney company should still be around when you need it next year, and the year after that. A company that plans to be in Waltham thirty years from now doesn’t burn its customers for a quick buck today. That’s the K.E.Y.S. code we work by: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it.
The seasonal tune-up price gets people in the door before burning season, when we can catch cracked crowns and deteriorating flashing before ice and snow make them worse. The repair discount acknowledges that chimney work isn’t cheap and every bit helps. The second opinion exists because this industry has its share of inflated estimates, and we’d rather earn your trust than let someone else abuse it.
When to Call
Waltham’s burning season typically runs from October through April, though we’ve seen homeowners fire up in late September when the first cold front drops down from the northwest. The smart move is booking your tune-up in August or September before the schedule fills. That said, we answer the phone every day, every hour. If you’re smelling smoke where you shouldn’t, or your damper isn’t seating right, or you just moved into a place near Moody Street and have no idea when this chimney was last looked at, call now and we’ll get you sorted.
FAQ
The 5% senior or veteran discount stacks with the $50 repair credit, but dollar-off offers don’t combine with each other. We’ll always apply whichever saves you more. Call (781) 905-8338 and we’ll run both numbers before you book.
The seasonal tune-up includes a basic visual safety check and operational test. If we spot something that needs a closer look, we’ll recommend a Level-2 camera inspection and show you exactly why. No surprise add-ons. Call (781) 905-8338 for details.
We’ll give you upfront pricing for any repairs before we start. If the job qualifies, we’ll apply the $50 repair discount automatically. You’ll see every line item. Call (781) 905-8338 to schedule.
If another company told you that you need a new liner, a full rebuild, or major masonry work, get a second opinion. We’ve found that Waltham’s older homes, especially the ones near the Charles River with more freeze-thaw cycles, often get oversold on waterproofing and liner work. Our camera doesn’t lie. Call (781) 905-8338 and bring your written estimate.
We work throughout Waltham, from the Warrendale and Piety Corner areas to the homes near Bentley and Brandeis, out to the western edge by Stow and the riverfront properties along the Charles. If you’re in Waltham or the immediate surrounding towns, you’re in our service area. Call (781) 905-8338 to confirm.
