THE SHORT ANSWER
Your chimney cleaning estimate depends on the appliance, flue count, inspection scope, deposits, and access. Request a written scope with the included work and any exclusions so you can plan the visit.

Soot on the firebox face, a musty smell, or white staining on brick each point back to something in the flue or the masonry. Maryland Chimney Pros starts with inspection, plans cleaning by what the flue shows, and traces staining or water to its source before masonry work is scoped.
Before approving additional work
Ask how a change in scope will be documented and priced. Inspection findings may call for a separate repair estimate; decide on that work after the finding and proposed solution are clear.
