Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterChimney Cleaning Specials in West Hartford, CT
We’re not fans of the rotating-discount circus you’ll see from some outfits. Call (860) 743-1516 and you’ll reach a live person, 24 hours a day, because we figure honesty beats a countdown timer every time. The offers below are the same ones we’ve run for years, adjusted for what actually costs homeowners money in West Hartford: creosote buildup from our wet shoulder-season burns, freeze-thaw damage to crowns and caps, and the too-common surprise of a liner that’s failed silently since the Reagan administration. Russell Haines has owned Hearthstone Chimney Co. since 1984, and we’ve learned that a square deal keeps a customer longer than a flash sale ever will.
Current Offers
$50 Off Any Repair Over $250
This covers chimney crown rebuilds, cap replacements, firebox repointing, and liner repairs that cross the $250 threshold. Most West Hartford homes we see in Elmwood or the Flats area need something beyond a basic sweep once we get the camera inside. Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (860) 743-1516.
Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate
If another company handed you a quote for liner replacement, crown rebuild, or a full chimney teardown, we’ll inspect with our Level-2 camera and give you a plain-English verdict with photos you can actually see. We’ve saved West Hartford homeowners from unnecessary $4,000 jobs when the real fix was a $400 cap and some repointing. Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (860) 743-1516.
$89 Seasonal Tune-Up
Includes a full NFPA-211 sweep, exterior condition check, and damper operation test for standard wood-burning fireplaces in single-family West Hartford homes. This is our shoulder-season price, designed to get your system checked before the first sustained cold snap hits the Farmington Valley. Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (860) 743-1516.
Permanent 5% Senior and Veteran Discount
No expiration, no paperwork beyond showing ID at the time of service. Applies to labor on chimney cleaning, repairs, cap and crown work, and liner installations. We’ve got a lot of retired teachers, state workers, and veterans in the West Hartford neighborhoods we serve, and this is our standing acknowledgment of that. Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (860) 743-1516.
How to Redeem
Step 1: Call (860) 743-1516, mention the offer by name, and speak with the live person who answers. No app, no callback queue, no voicemail tag.
Step 2: Book your visit. We’ll confirm upfront pricing before we dispatch, so the number on the estimate matches the number on the invoice.
Step 3: Present your eligibility at time of service, senior or veteran ID if applicable, and we’ll apply the discount before you pay. Done right, and we stand behind it.
What These Offers Actually Cover
West Hartford’s housing stock runs from 1920s colonials near Westmoor Park to mid-century splits off Boulevard and newer construction toward the Corbins Corner end of town. Each era has its own chimney problems. The 1920s places often have unlined flues or original terra cotta that’s cracked from decades of thermal cycling. The 1950s-70s homes frequently have galvanized chase covers that rust through in our freeze-thaw winters, dumping water into the framing. Newer homes sometimes have factory-built fireplaces with proprietary parts that require specific brands, which is why we stock DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield, not whatever’s cheapest at the supply house.
Our $89 seasonal tune-up catches the small stuff before it becomes a February emergency. The $50 repair discount applies once we’ve used our camera to show you exactly what’s wrong, documented like an engineer, explained like a craftsman. The free second opinion exists because we’ve seen too many homeowners in the West End and Buena Vista areas get told they need a full rebuild when a targeted repair and proper waterproofing would do.
The Fine Print That Isn’t Fine Print
Every offer above is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing, no arguing. If something we fixed doesn’t hold, we come back. That’s governed by the K.E.Y.S. values code Russell Haines put in place years ago: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and complete most jobs in a single visit because we’ve been doing this since 1984 and we know what to bring.
We don’t stack discounts, and we don’t bait-and-switch with a low arrival price that balloons once we’re on your roof. The price we quote is the price you pay. That’s how we’ve stayed in business for over 42 years in West Hartford and the surrounding towns, and it’s how we plan to be here thirty more.
Frequently Asked Questions
No, we apply one offer per job, but we’ll run both and give you whichever saves you more. Call (860) 743-1516 and we’ll walk through the math before you book.
The seasonal tune-up includes a visual inspection and sweep; if we spot something that needs camera documentation, we’ll quote the Level-2 inspection separately and you can decide before we proceed. No surprises on the bill.
We’ll tell you straight if bumping to a slightly more durable material or adding a cap gets you over the line and saves net money. We’ve done this long enough to know the corners worth cutting and the ones that aren’t.
If the other company won’t show you photos, won’t explain the problem in plain English, or is pushing a full liner replacement on a system that’s less than 15 years old, get a second opinion. The offer is free, and we’ve caught enough misdiagnoses in West Hartford to make it worth your time. Call (860) 743-1516 to schedule.
