At Derek Chimney Inc, we built our reputation in Brookline by stripping away the smoke and mirrors that too many chimney sweeps hide behind. Our crews arrive on time, in marked trucks, with flat-rate pricing locked before the first brush turns. We don’t upsell inspections you don’t need or drag out jobs to inflate the bill—just a clean flue, a signed checklist, and a price that matches the estimate you saw online. Brookline homeowners tell us we’re the rare trade who actually saves them money while doing the job right the first time.
Brookline’s 19th-century homes and modern gut-renovated condos share one thing: chimneys that work overtime in our damp New England winters. We’ve calibrated our process for the local climate—using moisture meters to spot hidden leaks before they rot masonry and infrared cameras to catch drafting problems that a standard sweep might miss. Our crews are background-checked and carry full insurance, so you’re covered whether we’re on Beacon Street or Commonwealth Avenue. We leave the hearth cleaner than we found it and the wallet heavier in the right places.
We started Derek Chimney Inc because we saw too many Brookline families overpay for half-done work that left their flues clogged and their insurance at risk. Our transparent pricing sheet is posted online so you can compare apples to apples before you even call. We’ll explain every line item—from the brush grade to the cap upgrade—so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Whether it’s a quick sweep before tonight’s dinner party or a full restoration of a landmark brownstone, we treat your home like our own. That’s the Derek difference: honest work, honest prices, every time.
