Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Hollywood, FL
Most chimney sweeps in Hollywood, FL run between $189 and $340, and a Level 2 inspection with a camera typically adds $150 to $350. The real question is what your specific chimney needs, and that depends heavily on where in Hollywood you live. A 1950s masonry fireplace in Hollywood Lakes reacts to salt air differently than a prefab metal flue in a condo near Young Circle. We’re Ashby Chimney Sweep, led by Nathan Corliss, and we work all over Hollywood. Call us at (754) 354-1451 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Hollywood Homes Are Different
Hollywood’s coastal salt air is the single biggest factor in how we approach chimney work here. Warm, humid air off the Atlantic carries salt spray inland, and that salt settles inside flue liners and accelerates creosote corrosion. A chimney in Hollywood that gets used even a few times each year will often have more glazed creosote buildup than an identical chimney in Plantation, simply because the humidity binds the creosote and the salt makes it cling harder. Our cleanings here routinely involve more elbow grease and more specialized creosote treatments than inland Broward jobs.
Housing stock matters just as much. Hollywood features a mix of 1950s-60s ranch homes with masonry fireplaces, plus newer condos with prefab metal flues. The historic Hollywood Lakes district is its own animal: many original terracotta flue tiles have spalled from decades of humid salt air, which means what looks like a routine cleaning often reveals hidden cracks once we get a camera inside. We don’t recommend a resurfacing or liner replacement without showing you that camera footage first. If the chimney just needs a sweep, we say so.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Hollywood Services
Homeowners in Hollywood usually call us about one of two things: getting a fireplace cleaned before the rare cold snap hits, or figuring out whether a chimney is safe to use at all after years of salt air and humidity. Here’s how each plays out in Hollywood specifically.
Chimney Sweep in Hollywood
A Chimney Sweep in Hollywood here means dealing with salt-hardened creosote and the fine grit that coastal air leaves behind. We brush the full flue, remove the creosote and debris from the smoke chamber and firebox, and leave a drop cloth clean enough that you’d never know we were there. In Hollywood’s older masonry fireplaces, we pay close attention to the smoke shelf, where spalled terracotta chips tend to collect and block airflow. Most sweeps take about an hour and a half from setup to cleanup.
Chimney Inspection in Hollywood
A Chimney Inspection in Hollywood is the only way to know whether salt air has quietly damaged a flue liner you can’t see. We run a push camera up the flue and give you a photo report on the spot, not a vague verbal summary. In Hollywood Lakes and other older neighborhoods, inspections frequently turn up hairline cracks in terracotta tiles that no one would catch from the firebox. We tell you what the camera shows, what it means, and what can safely wait.
Fireplace Repair in Hollywood
Fireplace Repair in Hollywood usually involves one of three things out here: resurfacing a spalled flue, repairing a rusted damper, or rebuilding a firebox that’s absorbed decades of humid air. We use materials from established chimney-trade brands like HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney, and every repair gets a written guarantee before we start. In Hollywood’s older homes, dampers in particular seize up faster than you’d expect, and we’d rather replace a rusted one than patch it and tell you it’s fine.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Hollywood
We schedule Hollywood appointments throughout the week, and we show up at the window we give you. Our phones are answered by a live person around the clock, so you can book at a time that fits your schedule rather than waiting for a callback.
Most chimney sweeps and inspections don’t require a permit in Hollywood. If your home is in an HOA, as many Hollywood condo and planned communities are, a visual exterior change like a new chimney cap may need approval. We can tell you what’s likely to apply before you book.
It can. Salt and humidity together corrode metal dampers and caps faster than inland air does, and the combination makes creosote harder to remove. The best defense is an annual sweep plus a camera inspection every couple of years so small problems stay small.

What Hollywood Customers Say
"Had them out for the yearly sweep before we start burning. He put down a drop cloth, swept it clean, and actually showed me the inside of the flue on a little camera. No mess, no surprises on the bill."
- Bill Prentice"Smoke kept rolling back into the living room every time we lit a fire. Turned out the cap was half blocked with a bird's nest. He cleared it and explained why it was happening. Fire draws perfectly now."
- Megan Alvarez"First time owning a house with a fireplace and I had no clue. The guy was patient, walked me through what's safe and what isn't, and didn't make me feel dumb. Priced it before he started."
