Reviews

What Our Customers Say

"We bought our 1920s home in Wildwood last year and had no idea the chimney was in such rough shape. Spencer & Valdez cleaned it, repaired a cracked liner, and even waterproofed it—all for less than we expected. Our fireplace now draws perfectly, and we finally feel safe using it."

"Living in a cabin near the Smokies, my chimney takes a beating. Spencer & Valdez comes twice a year now, and it’s made a huge difference in draft and safety. Their waterproofing treatment has kept moisture out for two winters running. Worth every penny."

RH

"We were quoted $800 by another company for a full inspection and cleaning. Spencer & Valdez did it for $450 with no upsells. They were professional, on time, and left our home spotless. Best value in Blount County."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a chimney sweep cost in Maryville for a typical 2-story home?

For a standard 2-story home in Maryville, a basic chimney sweep starts at $180 and includes a Level 1 inspection. This covers a thorough cleaning of flues up to 20 feet, removal of creosote, and a visual check for obstructions or damage.

Why does Spencer & Valdez recommend sweeping my chimney before the first winter in my Maryville home?

Sweeping before winter removes hidden creosote buildup that can ignite when temperatures drop. In Maryville, where nights can dip below freezing, a clean chimney also prevents water vapor from condensing and damaging your flue—saving you costly repairs down the road.

Can I burn wood in my Maryville fireplace right after a chimney sweep, or do I need to wait?

You can use your fireplace immediately after a sweep, but we recommend waiting 24 hours for any residual dust to settle. Spencer & Valdez uses low-dust methods, so your first fire will be cleaner and safer—no soot surprises on your rugs.

What’s the difference between a Level 1 and Level 2 chimney inspection in Maryville, and which do I need?

A Level 1 inspection is the standard for routine maintenance in Maryville homes with no recent changes—it includes a visual check of accessible areas. A Level 2 inspection is required if you’ve had a chimney fire, earthquake, or roof modification, and includes a video scan of the flue.

How long does a chimney sweep appointment take for a Maryville homeowner with a wood-burning fireplace?

Most appointments in Maryville take 60–90 minutes for a single fireplace. If your chimney has multiple flues or heavy creosote, expect up to 2 hours. We arrive on time, work efficiently, and leave your home tidy—no lingering mess.

Is it true that water damage is the #1 cause of chimney failure in East Tennessee, and how does Spencer & Valdez prevent it?

Yes—water is the silent killer of chimneys in Maryville and the Smokies region. We seal crowns, install chimney caps, and apply waterproofing treatments to block moisture before it cracks masonry or rusts liners. Prevention costs far less than a full rebuild.

What’s the most common chimney problem you see in Maryville first-time homes, and how do you fix it?

The #1 issue is cracked flue tiles, often caused by rapid temperature changes in Maryville winters. We replace damaged tiles with heat-resistant materials and reinforce the flue to prevent carbon monoxide leaks—a critical safety upgrade for new homeowners.

Do you offer financing for chimney repairs in Maryville, and what’s the approval process like?

Yes—we partner with local lenders to offer flexible financing for repairs over $500. Approval takes 24–48 hours, and you’ll know your monthly payment upfront. We’ll walk you through options so you can protect your investment without stress.
