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 don’t do ‘maybe later’ chimneys. If your flue hasn’t been swept since the last time you burned a Yule log, the National Fire Protection Association says you’re overdue. In Lexington’s freeze-thaw climate, moisture sneaks in through the smallest gaps, freezes, and splits tiles like a wedge. We seal those gaps with a waterproof crown treatment that bonds to masonry and repels rain for a decade. We also pressure-test every joint with a calibrated manometer so you get a report that’s as precise as your tax return.
Your chimney isn’t a ‘set it and forget it’ system. Every season, Lexington’s nor’easters drop 42 inches of snow on roofs that weren’t designed for it, and the thermal shock cracks terra cotta liners. We install stainless-steel liners that flex with the freeze-thaw cycle and resist corrosion better than clay. We cap every liner with a custom spark arrestor that meets Massachusetts code and keeps embers off your cedar shingles. No gimmicks—just the hardware that keeps your fireplace from becoming a liability.
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.
