Chimney sweeping in East Olympia, WA

Chimney sweeping in East Olympia is best scheduled in late summer or early fall before the first fire. We also get January calls when smoke comes back into the room, which means a blockage and should not wait. Ask around East Olympia and you will hear a similar story from a neighbor.

Locally owned, not a franchise

Quite Clean Home Services is one family's business, not a franchise territory. The owner lives here, answers the after-hours phone himself, and the techs who clean chimney sweeping in East Olympia are the same people customers name in reviews — Marcel, Shane, Nick, Arquimedes. There is no call center, no franchise fee built into the price, and no manager in another state deciding what gets upsold at the door. When we say the quote before we start is the number on the receipt, that is because the person who gave you the quote is the person who owns the company.

How the visit goes

Protect the room, then sweep the flue, then firebox, damper and smoke shelf, then visual inspection, then report. The tech quotes the whole job before any equipment comes off the van. Chimney sweeps pair with carpet cleaning in the same room, because the hearth area is where soot ends up. We could tell the same story about a dozen East Olympia addresses.

What we will tell you honestly

Heavy glazed creosote sometimes needs a chemical treatment before it will brush out; we will tell you if that is the case. We would rather say that up front in East Olympia than surprise you at the door.

Pricing in East Olympia

We price chimney sweeping in East Olympia the way we price it everywhere: on site, before we start, after looking at every room or piece. Thurston County adds a trip fee to cover the 68-minute drive from South Park, which we tell you when you book, not after we arrive. Repeat customers, active-duty military and property managers with multiple units get their own rates; ask.
