At Conrad Chimney Company, we don’t just sweep chimneys—we protect your budget while safeguarding your home. Newton’s historic homes and modern builds alike face the same silent threats: creosote buildup, hidden cracks, and unchecked drafts that drain efficiency and spike heating costs. Our transparent pricing means no surprises, just honest work that delivers real value. Whether your fireplace is a cozy centerpiece or a rarely used relic, we treat it with the care it deserves—because your wallet and your warmth both matter.
Most chimney companies upsell inspections or repairs you can safely skip. We’ll only recommend what’s necessary based on your chimney’s condition and Newton’s local climate risks. If your flue is in good shape, we’ll say so—no pressure to buy extra services.
We arrive on time, give you a written estimate before we start, and stick to it. No bait-and-switch pricing or vague ‘labor fees’ that inflate your bill. If we find an issue during the job, we’ll call you before proceeding—so you’re always in control of the cost.
We’re fully licensed in Massachusetts and carry liability insurance to protect your home. All our work comes with a 10-year workmanship warranty, so if something goes wrong due to our installation or repair, we’ll fix it at no extra cost.
We’ve serviced hundreds of homes across Newtonville, Nonantum, and beyond. Our team knows the unique challenges of older chimneys in this area—from Auburndale’s brick flues to West Newton’s steel-lined systems—and how to address them without overcharging.
Schedule a visit through our website or call (857) 597-0094. We’ll ask about your chimney’s history and Newton’s local risks (like nearby trees or past storms) to prepare the right tools and team.
Our tech arrives at the scheduled time, reviews your chimney’s exterior, and checks for obvious issues like cracks or missing caps. If we spot something concerning, we’ll take photos and explain why it matters before starting work.
We perform the agreed-upon service—whether it’s sweeping, inspection, or a minor repair—and show you the results before you pay. If we find additional work needed, we’ll give you a clear, written estimate for approval.
After the job, we’ll email you a summary of what we did, photos of any issues, and your warranty paperwork. We also follow up in a week to ensure everything’s working as it should—no silent treatment here.
"Conrad Chimney came out same-day when our flue collapsed during a storm. They gave us a fair estimate, fixed it quickly, and even helped us file the insurance claim. No upselling—just honest work."
"We’ve used them for years, and they’re the only chimney company that doesn’t try to sell us ‘premium’ inspections we don’t need. Their sweeping service leaves our fireplace cleaner than it’s been in decades."
"After a chimney fire scare, they did a Level 2 inspection and found minor damage. They repaired it for a fraction of what another company quoted, and the warranty gave us peace of mind."
"They installed a chimney cap last winter, and it’s already paid for itself by keeping out squirrels and rain. The team was on time, professional, and didn’t waste our time with unnecessary upsells."
"Our 1920s fireplace was falling apart, and other companies wanted to replace the whole thing. Conrad’s restoration saved us thousands and made it look brand new."
"We had a slow-drawing fireplace, and they discovered our smoke shelf was clogged with soot. A quick clean and repair fixed it, and now we actually enjoy using our fireplace again."

That persistent campfire odor is creosote residue trapped in your flue, released when humidity rises in Newton’s damp springs. Creosote absorbs moisture and oxidizes, creating a musty smell that lingers until the buildup is removed. A professional sweep clears the residue and seals gaps to prevent future odors.
That’s efflorescence—a sign of water seeping through the masonry, often from damaged flashing or a cracked crown. Left unchecked, it weakens bricks and invites mold. We’ll diagnose the leak’s source and repair it before it turns into costly structural damage.
Check for soot streaks on your hearth or a gray haze in your firebox after burning. These are telltale signs of a cracked liner, which leaks toxic gases into your home. Our camera inspection reveals the damage without the risk—no ladder required.
Absolutely. Older chimneys in Newton often have hidden damage from decades of use, like deteriorated mortar joints or offset flues. A Level 2 inspection uses a camera to scan the entire system, ensuring your home meets modern safety standards before the first frost.
Wind from the east creates downdrafts that push smoke back into your home, especially if your chimney is too short or has obstructions like a damaged cap. We’ll assess your chimney’s height and airflow to prevent this frustrating issue.
A sweep removes creosote and debris, while an inspection evaluates the chimney’s structural integrity and safety. Think of it like a dental cleaning versus an X-ray—both are essential, but they serve different purposes. We bundle them for Newton homeowners at a fair price.
In Newton, expect $120–$250 for a standard sweep, depending on flue size and buildup. We publish our pricing upfront to avoid surprises, and we’ll quote you a fixed rate before work begins—no hidden fees for “emergency” upsells.
Pine burns hot and fast, leaving behind sticky creosote that clings to your flue. Newton’s humid climate accelerates this buildup, increasing fire risk. Stick to seasoned hardwoods like oak to protect your chimney and your wallet.
