Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Miami, FL
Most chimney sweeps in Miami run between $189 and $329, and inspections typically cost $149 to $279 depending on what the chimney is made of and when it was last looked at. Miami homes are different from the rest of Florida: our humidity, salt air, and storm-driven debris mean a fireplace that hasn’t been lit in two years can still have rust, mold, or an animal nest inside the flue. We’re Ashby Chimney Miami, led by Nathan Corliss, and we work on the chimney systems that actually exist down here, including a lot of prefabricated metal flues rather than traditional masonry. If you’re not sure what you have or what it needs, call (850) 787-8597 and we’ll talk it through plainly.
Why Miami Homes Are Different
Miami’s housing stock runs heavily toward mid-century ranches and newer stucco construction, which matters because many of those homes were built with factory-made metal chimney systems, not the brick-and-mortar stacks you see in older northeastern cities. Those prefabricated flues can’t be scrubbed with the same steel brushes you’d use on a masonry chimney; get too aggressive and you’ll gouge the liner. So the first thing we establish on any Miami job is what kind of system you actually have, and from there we choose the right tools and the right approach.
The bigger factor here is moisture. Miami’s rainy season and year-round humidity push water into chimney systems through missing caps, cracked crowns, and rusted flashing. That water feeds mold, rots the metal, and shortens the life of the flue liner (the clay or steel tube that vents combustion gases out of your home). Add salt-laden air from the Atlantic, and we regularly see corrosion on chimney components that haven’t seen a fire in a decade. And it isn’t just water: in older neighborhoods like Coral Gables and Coconut Grove, chimneys without caps become entry points for iguanas, birds, and other South Florida wildlife looking for a dry place to hide. None of this is a reason to panic; it’s a reason to have the system looked at once a year even if you never light a fire.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Miami Services
Most Miami homeowners call us for one of two reasons: the fireplace smells or hasn’t been used in years and they want it checked before the handful of cool nights we get each winter, or they’ve spotted rust, water stains, or an animal near the chimney and want to know what’s going on inside. Here’s what each service looks like in Miami.
Chimney Sweep in Miami
A Chimney Sweep in Miami here usually means clearing storm debris, soot, and whatever a tropical downpour washed into the flue since last season. Because many Miami chimneys are prefabricated metal systems, we clean them with tools designed for that material so the liner isn’t damaged in the process. We also check the chimney cap at the top, since a missing cap in Miami is an open invitation for rain, rust, and iguanas. The work ends with a written report of what we found and removed, plus a heads-up if we saw anything worth repairing.
Chimney Inspection in Miami
Our Chimney Inspection in Miami covers what a sweep alone doesn’t: the interior condition of the liner, the flashing where chimney meets roof, and the overall water-intrusion picture. Miami’s salt air accelerates rust on metal flues, so we’re looking closely at seams and joints, even on rarely used fireplaces. We use a camera when the situation calls for it, and we tell you plainly what needs attention now, what can wait, and what’s fine as it is. You get a written price for any corrective work before we pick up a tool.
Fireplace Repair in Miami
When a fireplace in Miami needs work, it’s usually rust-related. We handle Fireplace Repair in Miami with parts from chimney-trade brands like DuraFlex, Copperfield, and Gelco, so a replacement liner or repaired cap is built from material meant for this climate. We write the price before the work starts, and the repair is covered in writing by the Kingswell Guarantee. If the repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That beats paying twice for the same fix.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Miami
We schedule by the day, not the hour, and we give every Miami customer a real arrival window before we come out. Most sweeps and inspections happen within about a week of the call, depending on the season. Call (850) 787-8597 to check current scheduling for your neighborhood.
That depends on your community and the scope of the job. A standard sweep or inspection usually doesn’t trigger anything, but a visible cap replacement or liner repair might. Check your HOA documents if you have one; we’re happy to describe the work in a way that helps you get an answer. What we won’t do is recommend a repair you don’t need just to satisfy a checklist.
Clear a path to the fireplace and make sure there’s a place for us to park, especially in busier Miami neighborhoods. If you have pets, keep them in another room while we’re working. Everything else, including the cleanup around the hearth, is our job, and we leave the area cleaner than we found it.
If you’re in Miami and you want a chimney company that gives you the price in writing before the work starts, and a written guarantee after it’s done, call Ashby Chimney Miami at (850) 787-8597.

What Miami Customers Say
"The amount of creosote they pulled out was scary. He said we were overdue and explained the fire risk without being dramatic about it. Clean, careful, left the hearth spotless."
- Caroline Webb"The damper was rusted shut and we couldn't use the fireplace. He freed it up, swept everything, and now we actually use the thing. Priced it before he started."
- Georgia Lemmon"Had them out for the yearly sweep before we start burning. He put down a drop cloth, swept it clean, and actually showed me the inside of the flue on a little camera. No mess, no surprises on the bill."
- Bill Prentice
