Chimney Sweep & Repair in Tigard, Oregon

Most standard chimney sweeps in Tigard fall between $199 and $349 depending on the type of fireplace, how much creosote is in the flue, and whether you pair the sweep with a CSIA Level 1 or Level 2 inspection. We quote the full price upfront before any work starts, and there are no surprise add ons when the truck rolls up. Call 503-241-3430 for a free quote on your specific fireplace.

Often, yes. Damp Pacific Northwest air and the softwood many of us burn speed up creosote glaze inside the flue. Most Tigard homeowners who burn wood regularly are best served by a CSIA Level 1 inspection every year and a sweep every one or two seasons. Gas fireplace owners still need an annual safety check even when there is no visible soot, because we are checking venting, pilot, and valve issues that can go wrong quietly.

Our shop sits right here in Tigard on SW Roshak Road, so Bull Mountain, Summerfield, Metzger, and Bonita appointments are usually about 10 minutes from our truck. During peak season from October through December we typically book same day or same week. Emergencies and real estate deadlines jump to the front of the line whenever we can make it work.

Yes. A pre purchase chimney inspection is a CSIA Level 2 inspection and it is one of the most common services we run in Tigard, especially for homes changing hands on Bull Mountain and in Summerfield. You get a written report with photos from inside the flue using a camera scan, condition notes on the crown, cap, flashing, firebox, and damper, and a clear list of anything that should be repaired before closing. We can usually turn a Level 2 report around in 48 to 72 hours.

Most cosmetic sweep work and cap or damper swaps do not require a permit. Structural chimney work does. That includes relining the flue, rebuilding the crown, replacing a flashing into the roof deck, or installing a new fireplace insert. Those jobs typically need a Washington County or City of Tigard mechanical or building permit. We pull the permit as part of the job whenever one is required, so you are never chasing paperwork on your own.

Yes. Oregon DEQ issues Air Quality Advisories in winter across the Portland metro, which includes Tigard, when the airshed stalls. During a Yellow or Red advisory, homeowners with uncertified wood stoves or open fireplaces are asked to stop burning wood, and sometimes it is required. Gas fireplaces and EPA certified wood stoves are generally exempt. If you are thinking about upgrading an older uncertified wood stove, we can walk you through the options.

Yes. 97223 and 97224 are both home turf for us, along with neighboring Tualatin, King City, and Sherwood. If you are not sure whether your house is technically inside Tigard city limits, it does not really matter. Call us with your address and we will confirm in 60 seconds.

Yes. An adult who is 18 or older needs to be on site for a sweep or inspection. We need access to your fireplace inside and a path to your roof outside. At the end of the appointment we walk you through findings and photos before you sign off, so you know exactly what was done and what your chimney needs next.
