How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, compared with other Austin chimney companies. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a few. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does a chimney sweep cost in Austin? (2026)

None of these companies lists sweep or inspection prices, so there is no cost table. Price usually depends on the chimney type, how much buildup there is, whether a camera inspection is needed and whether repairs follow.

These companies work from northeast, central and south Austin, and Capitol Chimney serves the area without a listed street address. Capitol Chimney names New Braunfels and San Marcos on its site, and Top Hat names Taylor. Searching for a chimney sweep near me? Each listing shows a phone number so you can ask who covers your address.

What to ask before you book a chimney sweep

  • Will you do a camera inspection, and can I see the footage or photos?
  • What level of inspection is included in the price?
  • Do you clean dryer vents in the same visit?
  • What protection do you use for floors and furnishings?
  • If you find a problem, will you quote the repair in writing before starting?

Frequently asked questions

Can an Austin chimney sweep also clean my dryer vent?

Reviews suggest so. A Top Hat Chimney Sweeps reviewer had a dryer vent cleaned and was shown before and after photos, Google lists dryer vent cleaning among its services, and a Capitol Chimney reviewer mentions dryer vent cleaning. Ask whether it is a separate charge.

What does a chimney inspection find?

A Santa Chimney Sweep reviewer describes loose bricks in a firebox and a leak between the firebox and the wall, and a Capitol Chimney reviewer describes a thorough inspection, cleaning and repair. A written or photographed report is worth asking for.

Do these chimney sweeps work outside Austin?

Their sites suggest so. Top Hat Chimney Sweeps names Taylor and Central Texas, and Capitol Chimney names New Braunfels and San Marcos. Confirm your address when you call.

The bottom line

Santa Chimney Sweep is the safe default for a sweep, an inspection or a bigger chimney repair, given its review base. Top Hat and Capitol Chimney both list dryer vent cleaning, so ask either one to add it.
