What a chimney sweep costs in Metro Detroit

Most local sweeps don't publish prices — you call and get a quote. A few do publish, and those anchors plus the national ranges give you a ballpark.

The anchors we can actually cite

• Art of Stone Masonry & Fireplace (Warren) publishes $169 for a HEPA-filtered chimney sweep, $179 for a gas-log tune-up, and $149–249 for an installed stainless cap. As published on their site, 2026-09-28.
• National listing sites put a typical basic sweep around $100–130 nationally, with Metro Detroit's prevailing quotes (free-estimate operators) generally landing above that once inspections and multi-flue homes are included.

What moves the price

• Number of flues — many metro homes have two (fireplace + furnace).
• Inspection level — Level 2 camera inspections cost more than the visual Level 1 that often comes bundled with a sweep.
• Creosote condition — heavy or third-stage buildup takes longer.
• Access — roof pitch, height, and whether the job is done from the roof or the inside.
• Repairs found — caps, crowns, flashing and relining are separate line items; ask for them itemized, not bundled.

How to not overpay

Call two or three operators from the Wayne, Oakland or Macomb pages, ask what the visit includes, and get the quote in writing. Or call (313) 391-5885 and we'll point you at two that fit the job. Beware anyone whose "special" price balloons once they're on the roof — the pattern Metro Detroit homeowners complain about is the low-ball sweep followed by an urgent repair pitch. A reputable operator will show you photos of what they found.
