Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

Why Sherrelwood Homeowners Call Chimney Sweep Thornton for Chimney Sweep
Sherrelwood is a small, settled community, and people here talk. Word travels when a crew shows up, does the work, and explains what it found rather than pushing a repair you can’t verify. Our technicians have up to 10 years of experience, and every one of them works on chimneys and venting, not a little of everything.
What sets our approach apart in a place like Sherrelwood is that cleaning and repair live under the same roof. If we find a cracked tile during a sweep, we can address it on the same visit instead of handing you off to a masonry contractor. We use professional-grade materials from brands like HeatShield and DuraFlex, and we’re licensed and insured. When we quote a job, the price is set per job by the written estimate, so you know what you’re agreeing to before we start.
Response time to Sherrelwood matters because this is a community where people want the job done right and done promptly. We’re familiar with the housing here and the kinds of problems these homes have, and that knowledge shapes how we work.

Chimney Sweep Services in Sherrelwood
Chimney Sweep Services in Sherrelwood are built around the older housing stock here: by and large 1950s to 1970s single-story ranches and tri-levels with original brick masonry fireplaces. A typical annual sweep here runs $180 – $320, and it includes a Level 1 inspection to check that the flue, damper, and firebox are working the way they should. If you’ve been burning heavily through the October-to-March season, or if you’ve never had the chimney looked at since you moved in, that’s your cue to book one.
What a Standard Sweep Covers
We remove soot and creosote from the firebox and flue, check the damper and smoke chamber, and look for the cracks, spalling, and draft problems these older homes tend to develop. The sweep is a cleaning and a condition check, not a sales pitch.

When a Level 2 Inspection Is Called For
A Level 2 inspection uses a camera to look inside the flue, and it’s what we recommend when there’s been a change to the system or a sign of trouble. In Sherrelwood, that’s often an insert added years ago or a flue that’s had a lot of use. You’ll see the camera footage yourself before we recommend anything.

Chimney Cleaning in Sherrelwood
Chimney Cleaning in Sherrelwood goes deeper than a brush-and-go when the flue is showing its age. A standard cleaning runs $180 – $320, while a full Level 2 inspection with camera runs $250 – $450. If the flue is cracked or built up with glazed creosote, we’ll show you the evidence and quote the repair separately.
Creosote and Soot Removal
Creosote builds up differently in these older flues, and the glazed, hard-to-remove kind needs more than a standard sweep. We use the right tools for the job and clear soot from the smoke chamber and firebox as part of the cleaning.
Annual Service for Wood-Burning Homes
Homes burning wood through the Front Range winter should be cleaned once a year. If you use the fireplace lightly, a yearly check still catches problems before they become expensive.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sherrelwood
When a flue needs work, the material matters as much as the labor. We install DuraFlex liner systems and use HeatShield resurfacing for compromised flue interiors, two products chimney specialists rely on nationwide. We also work with Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield, so liner and repair parts can be matched to your flue rather than grabbing whatever’s cheapest. We don’t stock parts on trucks or run a local warehouse, but we can source the right materials and keep turnaround quick. Specifying a product for your flue is how a real repair gets done, and that’s the standard we hold to in Sherrelwood.

AfterCommon Chimney Sweep Problems We See in Sherrelwood Homes
- Cracked and spalled clay tile. Decades of freeze-thaw cycles along the Front Range split and flake the original 1950s clay tiles, letting creosote seep into mortar joints where it’s hard to see and hard to reach.
- Inserts fitted without liner upgrades. Many Sherrelwood ranches had wood-burning inserts added in the 1990s without resizing the flue. The undersized stack causes poor draft and lets creosote build fast.
- Third-degree glazed creosote. Long, heavy seasonal use leaves a hard, glazed coating that a standard sweep won’t touch. It’s the kind that raises fire risk, and it needs proper removal.
- Crown and flashing damage. A deteriorating crown lets water in, which speeds spalling and can make a chimney look like it needs a full rebuild when it doesn’t.

FAQs About Chimney Sweep in Sherrelwood
Not automatically. An insert fitted without a resized liner often leads to cracked tiles and undersized draft, but we won’t tell you you need a reline until we’ve run a camera and shown you the footage. If the tiles are sound and the draft is fine, cleaning may be all you need. Call (866) 361-5660 for a free estimate.
Once a year is the right rhythm for most homes here. The October-to-March burn season plus the rapid temperature swings that stress older masonry means annual service catches cracked crowns and spalling tiles before they turn into bigger repairs.
First-degree creosote is light soot and flakes, and third-degree is the hard, glazed coating a brush won’t remove. In homes with decades of use on original tile flues, third-degree buildup is common, and it’s a fire risk that needs proper removal rather than a quick sweep.
Yes. A cracked crown lets water into the masonry, which speeds spalling and can disrupt the draft. It’s usually a repair, not a full rebuild, and we’ll show you what the crown looks like before we recommend anything.
Specialists here rely on DuraFlex liners, HeatShield resurfacing, and products from Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield. Call (866) 361-5660 to talk through what your flue needs.
