Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Trusted Chimney Sweep for Orlando Homeowners
A Chimney Sweep in Orlando typically costs between $189 and $349 for a standard fireplace, and most families book one every one to three years depending on how often they burn. Our crews at Kindling Chimney Orlando show up with drop cloths, shoe covers, and a written price in hand before any equipment comes off the truck. Danny Cortes leads a team that has swept thousands of fireplaces across Orange County, from Winter Park bungalows to newer builds in Hunters Creek, and we answer the phone live around the clock at (850) 940-3442.
Chimney Sweep Services
Chimney Sweep Services cover the full removal of creosote, soot, and debris from the flue, smoke chamber, and firebox so your fireplace burns clean and drafts properly. Most Orlando homes need a sweep every year if the fireplace gets used weekly during the cooler months, and we include a visual check of the liner and cap as part of the visit. A standard sweep runs $189 to $349, and if the camera inspection shows a problem, we show you the photos before recommending anything. You can always reach us at (850) 940-3442.
Creosote Removal
Creosote builds up in layers inside the flue, and it is the fuel source for chimney fires. Our technicians remove it with rotary brushes sized to your flue, not the one-size-fits-all kind that leaves ridges behind. After the sweep, we bag and carry out every bit of debris so none of it lands on your floors.
Smoke Chamber Cleaning
The smoke chamber is the sloped section above the firebox, and it catches a shocking amount of soot in Orlando homes with older masonry fireplaces. We clean it on every sweep because a clogged chamber is the reason smoke backs up into the living room. This step is included in the standard price, never billed as an add-on.

Styles & brands we work with
Chimney Cleaning
Chimney Cleaning is the physical removal of flammable buildup from the inside of the chimney, and it is the single most effective step to prevent chimney fires. We recommend it after about a cord of wood has burned through your fireplace, or once a year in most Orlando households. The cost lands between $189 and $349 for a standard masonry chimney, with a written quote confirmed before the first tool is lifted. Call (850) 940-3442 and a live person will help you book it.
Level 1 Cleaning
A Level 1 cleaning is what most homes need when the fireplace is used normally and nothing has changed about the system. The technician sweeps the flue, cleans the firebox, and checks that the damper opens and closes correctly. This service keeps a regularly used fireplace safe and efficient through Orlando’s winter burn season.
Rotary Brush Technology
We use rotary brush systems that spin against the flue walls, breaking off glazed creosote that flat brushes miss. This matters in Central Florida because humidity can turn creosote sticky and harder to remove. The result is a cleaner flue and a faster, quieter job for your household.
Fireplace Cleaning
Fireplace Cleaning goes beyond the flue and focuses on the firebox, grate, glass doors, and surrounding hearth where ash and soot accumulate. You know it is time when the glass is hazy, ash piles above the grate, or a mild campfire smell lingers between burns. We clean the full fireplace as part of every sweep, usually within the $189 to $349 range, and we leave the hearth wiped down with no chemical residue near kids or pets. For booking, call (850) 940-3442.
Glass Door Restoration
Glass doors on gas and wood fireplaces cloud over with a baked-on film that regular cleaners cannot budge. We use a non-abrasive cleaner designed for fireplace glass, which clears the view without scratching the surface. The product we default to is pet-safe, so you don’t have to keep your dog out of the room.
Ash Removal and Hearth Care
We vacuum out the firebox with a HEPA-filtered vacuum, which keeps ash from going airborne through your home. The hearth gets wiped down, and any brick or stone discoloration is pointed out so you know what is cosmetic and what might signal a moisture issue. Nothing gets moved in your home without asking first.
Chimney Services
Chimney Services at Kindling Chimney Orlando include sweeping, inspection, and repairs that keep the entire system safe from the firebox to the crown. Homeowners in Orlando and Maitland Chimney Sweep customers call us for everything from annual maintenance to investigating odd noises or water stains around the fireplace. Most sweeps and inspections fall between $189 and $349, while repairs are quoted separately with a written price before we begin. The phone line at (850) 940-3442 is answered by a person no matter the hour.
Camera Inspection
Every chimney we sweep gets offered a camera inspection, which sends a small camera up the flue to record what the eye cannot see. You get to look at the footage with the technician and see the exact condition of your liner and joints. If the liner is fine, we tell you it’s fine, and the report documents why.
Repair Coordination
When the camera finds cracked flue tiles or a damaged liner, we explain what it means and what it costs to fix, with no pressure to decide that day. Repairs use professional-grade materials from brands like DuraFlex and HeatShield, so the fix lasts rather than patching over the symptom. You always get the written quote before any repair begins.
Chimney Sweep Certified
Chimney Sweep Certified means the technician at your home has completed formal training in chimney and venting system inspection and cleaning, and follows a documented standard of practice. Our team is background-checked, uniformed, and works under the Cedarwell Care Promise on every single visit in Orlando. Certification matters because it means the sweep knows what a damaged liner looks like versus normal wear, and will not recommend work you do not need. A certified sweep runs the same $189 to $349 range for a standard job, and you can call (850) 940-3442 to book one.
What Certification Covers
Certification trains technicians on fire codes, clearance requirements, and the mechanics of how a chimney drafts correctly. It also covers the safety boundaries a professional must respect, like not bypassing damaged components just to finish faster. You get a technician who knows the system, not just someone who can run a brush up a flue.
Why It Matters for Repairs
A certified sweep can tell you whether a hairline crack is structural or cosmetic, and that distinction saves Orlando homeowners thousands. We pair the certification with camera footage, so every recommendation is backed by something you can see on screen. Danny Cortes holds his crews to that standard on every call.
Gas Fireplace Cleaning
Gas Fireplace Cleaning removes dust, pet hair, and residue from the logs, burner, pilot assembly, and glass on vented and ventless gas units. Even though gas fireplaces don’t produce creosote, they still collect debris that causes odors, uneven flames, and poor indoor air quality. In Orlando, a gas fireplace cleaning typically runs $149 to $249, and we use pet-safe cleaners where there is a choice. Call (850) 940-3442 to schedule yours.
Burner and Pilot Service
The burner ports on a gas fireplace clog with dust and tiny debris over time, which leads to weak or uneven flames. We disassemble the burner assembly, clean each port, and verify the pilot light ignites correctly. This is preventive work that keeps your fireplace starting on the first try during Orlando’s cooler evenings.
Log and Glass Care
Ceramic logs get dusty and can crack if they are moved wrong, so we clean them in place with a soft brush and gentle vacuum. The glass front gets the same non-abrasive treatment we use on wood units, restoring a clear view of the flames. Every product we use is chosen with household pets and small children in mind.
Chimney Maintenance
Chimney Maintenance is the ongoing care between deep cleanings: checking the cap, flashing, damper, and brickwork for small problems before they become expensive ones. Most Orlando homeowners benefit from an annual maintenance visit paired with a sweep, which catches issues like a cracked chimney cap or deteriorating mortar joints early. For a full guide, see our Chimney Sweep Maintenance Checklist for Orlando Homeowners. Maintenance visits run $149 to $249 on their own, and the written quote comes before any work begins. To book, call (850) 940-3442.
Seasonal Readiness Checks
Before the busy burn season, a maintenance check confirms the damper opens fully, the cap is secured, and no animal nests are blocking the flue. Orlando’s humidity and heavy summer rains take a toll on chimney masonry, so a fall check is especially worthwhile here. You get a clear picture of what the chimney can handle before you light the first fire.
Minor Repairs That Prevent Big Ones
Replacing a rusted damper or a cracked cap during a maintenance visit costs far less than repairing water damage to the firebox a year later. We use components from brands like Famco and Copperfield, which are built for long service rather than budget replacement. If a repair is larger than minor, we document it and quote it separately before touching anything.
Brands We Service
We work on chimneys and fireplaces built with components from every major brand on the market, and we keep specific expertise with a few names Orlando homeowners see often. Olympia Chimney supplies many of the caps and dampers we inspect and replace, and our technicians know their sizing and install patterns well enough to spot an incorrect previous install immediately. When a home needs a new liner, we frequently install DuraFlex systems because they hold up to the moisture swings Central Florida throws at them.
For gas units, Famco and Copperfield parts appear regularly in our repair work, and we keep those fittings and replacement components stocked on the truck. Whether you have Olympia Chimney, DuraFlex, Famco, Copperfield, or any other make, we can help. Call (850) 940-3442 and tell us what you’re seeing.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Smoke backing into the room. This usually means a blocked flue, a closed damper, or downdraft pressure. It’s also a carbon monoxide concern if it happens with the doors and windows closed, so stop using the fireplace and call a pro.
- A strong campfire smell when the fireplace isn’t lit. That odor means creosote and soot are trapped and the chimney isn’t venting the way it should. It tends to get stronger on humid Orlando days, which makes it easy to notice year-round.
- Black, flaky residue falling into the firebox. That is creosote shedding off the flue walls, and it signals a heavy buildup. In that state, a chimney fire only needs one hot fire to ignite.
- Water stains on the ceiling or wall near the chimney. Water is entering somewhere, usually through a failed cap, cracked crown, or damaged flashing. Orlando rainstorms make this a common Florida chimney problem, and it only gets worse if left alone.
- Animals sounds from the chimney. Squirrels, birds, and raccoons get into uncapped or damaged chimneys throughout Orange County. Nesting material is flammable and blocks airflow, so the chimney should be swept and capped before it’s used again.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a person. When you call (850) 940-3442, a live person answers and walks through what you’re seeing with your chimney. We listen first, then schedule a visit that fits your calendar, no phone trees involved.
- 2
Arrival and home protection. The technician arrives in uniform, introduces himself, and lays down shoe covers and drop cloths before anything else. Nothing in your home gets moved without asking, and we confirm the written price for the sweep or inspection before work starts.
- 3
Full cleaning and camera inspection. We sweep the flue, smoke chamber, and firebox, then run a camera up the chimney to document what the inside actually looks like. You get to view the footage and see the condition of your liner for yourself.
- 4
Clear explanation and written quote. If the camera shows damage, the technician explains what it means in plain language and writes up a quote for any recommended repair. If everything looks good, he says so directly. No scare tactics, no on-the-spot pressure.
- 5
Clean-up and photo verification. Before the crew leaves, every surface is wiped down, all debris is bagged and removed, and a photo of the clean-up is taken as part of the Cedarwell Care Promise. If anything isn’t right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right.
How Much Does Chimney Sweep Cost in Orlando?
A standard chimney sweep in Orlando runs $189 to $349 for most masonry fireplaces, depending on the height of the chimney, the amount of creosote buildup, and whether the flue has any obstructions. Gas fireplace cleaning typically costs $149 to $249, while a standalone maintenance visit falls in the same $149 to $249 range. If a camera inspection reveals liner damage, we quote that repair separately, with a written price before any work begins.
What affects the price most is access and buildup. A two-story home in Winter Springs takes longer to set up safely than a single-story in Apopka. Heavy creosote from years of skipped cleanings adds time, but our quote is flat once we see the chimney, not a per-hour rate that creeps up. You avoid overpaying by working with a company that shows you the camera footage and puts the price in writing before starting. A free estimate from Kindling Chimney Orlando includes the inspection, the written quote, and no obligation to book. Call (850) 940-3442 and a live person will set it up.
