Tulip Chimney Co isn’t here to sell you a chimney sweep—we’re here to fix the one you’ve got. Lexington homes built before 1980 still run on masonry flues that collect creosote like a sponge, and that black, tarry gunk doesn’t just smell; it ignites at 451°F. We show up with rotary brushes sized to your flue diameter, HEPA vacuums that keep the dust in the truck, and a no-nonsense checklist that tracks every crack, gap, and missing mortar joint. No upsells, no scare tactics—just the work that keeps your chimney from turning your living room into a bonfire.
We’re not some guy with a brush and a pickup. Tulip Chimney Co. is licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, carries $2M in liability insurance, and guarantees our work with a 10-year warranty. If something goes wrong in Lexington due to our work, we fix it—no arguments. Other sweeps might offer a ‘satisfaction guarantee,’ but we put it in writing.
You’ll never get a Lexington chimney sweep that starts with ‘Oh, by the way…’ We quote one price upfront, and that’s it. No pressure to upgrade to a ‘premium’ inspection, no scare tactics about ‘dangerous’ creosote levels that don’t exist. Just honest work at a fair price. If your chimney’s clean and safe, we’ll tell you. If it needs more work, we’ll show you why—and only then.
Chimney fires don’t wait for business hours. That’s why we offer 24-hour emergency response for Lexington homeowners. Whether it’s a blocked flue causing smoke in your living room or a cracked liner leaking carbon monoxide, we’re on the road within hours. Other sweeps take days to schedule. We don’t.
We know Lexington’s homes—from the historic Colonials on Hancock Street to the newer builds on Marrett Road. Our crews understand how local freeze-thaw cycles, humidity, and wood-burning habits affect your chimney. Other sweeps treat all chimneys the same. We don’t.
Skip the voicemail hell. Use our calendar to pick a Lexington time slot, or call (857) 201-4375. We reserve 2-hour windows for each job to avoid the ‘we’ll be there between 8 and 5’ nonsense. If you need same-day service, we’ll do our best—Lexington homeowners deserve responsiveness.
Before we touch your chimney, we’ll send a tech to check the basics: flue size, cap condition, and obvious damage. You’ll get a written quote with no surprises. If your chimney’s in rough shape, we’ll show you photos and explain why repairs are necessary. No upsells—just the facts.
Our crews arrive on time, suit up in booties, and get to work. We use rotary brushes sized to your flue, HEPA vacuums to contain dust, and video cameras to document the before-and-after. Every job gets a Level 1 inspection report with photos. You’ll know exactly what we did—and why.
We leave your Lexington home spotless—no ash on the hearth, no debris in the yard. We’ll email your inspection report and warranty details within 24 hours. If you have questions later, we’re just a call away. That’s how we roll.

Yes—buyers walk away from deals when they see a dirty flue. A swept chimney passes the home inspector’s Level 2 camera test and removes the creosote odor that lingers in open houses. We leave a dated certificate so the buyer’s agent can’t claim ‘unknown condition.’
Absolutely. Ice can crack flue tiles or dislodge crowns; a Level 2 inspection uses a 360° camera to spot damage before it leaks into your attic. Lexington’s building department flags any flue with a hairline fracture as ‘immediate repair,’ so catching it early saves a $4K+ rebuild.
Yes—Lexington’s spring winds hit 45 mph and drive rain straight down unprotected flues. A stainless-steel cap with a 3/8-inch mesh keeps birds, squirrels, and golf-ball-sized hail out while allowing smoke to escape. Without it, your liner fills with water and cracks by Memorial Day.
Wait 24 hours. The HEPA vacuum removes 99.97% of dust, but residual particles can irritate sinuses. Lexington’s high pollen count means even a trace of soot can trigger allergies, so we recommend airing the room and running the HVAC filter on high for a full day before your first fire.
Check for white efflorescence on the exterior bricks—it’s salt leached from deteriorating clay tiles. Inside, a Level 2 camera will show cracks wider than a credit card or missing sections. Lexington’s code requires relining if any tile is broken, so ignoring it risks a failed inspection and a $3K+ repair bill.
No—pine’s resin creates a thick, sticky creosote that clings to cold flue walls. Lexington’s humid fall nights keep flues damp, so burning pine without a prior sweep can coat the liner in tar within one fire. Stick to seasoned hardwood and schedule a sweep before the first burn.
Before—the crown cracks when temperatures drop below 32°F and water freezes in the gaps. A Lexington winter delivers 20 freeze-thaw cycles, so repairing the crown in October prevents a $2K+ rebuild come spring. We use a polymer-modified cement that bonds in sub-zero temps and cures in 24 hours.
Yes—gas inserts produce water vapor that condenses into acidic soot, corroding the flue and the vent connector. Lexington’s gas lines run at 7 inches of water column, and even a 1/16-inch gap in the connector leaks carbon monoxide. We clean the vent pipe and test for backdrafts to keep your family safe.
