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.

Smoke in the room, a creosote smell, or a damper that will not move are signs to stop and inspect before the next fire. Tennessee Chimney Pros connects cleaning, inspection, and damper or liner questions, with every recommendation linked to what the inspection records.
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.
