What a chimney price list is for
Chimney customers have heard about the cheap sweep that turns into an expensive repair. A clear price list for sweeps, inspections and common repairs, with liners as a starting price, shows you are honest and makes booking easy in the fall rush. It also helps you fill late summer, before the rush.
What to put on a chimney price list
- Sweep and inspection prices.
- Caps and dampers.
