Comprehensive chimney sweep for Lacey homes and businesses.
Lacey’s dry winters turn chimneys into creosote traps. We remove buildup safely and check for cracks or blockages that could turn your fireplace into a fire risk.
Before listing your South Sound home, a pre-sale chimney check can reveal hidden issues that scare off buyers, or save you thousands in last-minute fixes. We provide a full report with photos and clear repair guidance.
Pellet stoves and wood stoves burn hotter than fireplaces, which means faster creosote buildup. We clean the stove pipe, flue, and connection points to keep your system running efficiently.
Cracks, rust, or a failing liner? We fix what’s broken and install new liners to protect your home from smoke leaks, carbon monoxide, and water damage.
Smoke in your home? A strong odor after lighting your fireplace? We respond to emergencies fast, even on weekends, to keep your family safe.
Pay once a year and get priority scheduling, 10% off repairs, and a free inspection with every sweep. Lacey’s best value for homeowners who use their fireplace regularly.
We hold ourselves to the highest standards so you can hire with total confidence.
Dwayne J Chimney Inc has been Lacey’s top choice for homeowners who want straightforward work at honest prices. Unlike companies that pad quotes or upsell unnecessary services, we cut through the guesswork with upfront pricing and straightforward service. Lacey’s rainy winters mean chimneys here take a beating, creosote buildup, moisture damage, and hidden blockages are common. We’ve seen firsthand how small issues turn into costly repairs when ignored, so we focus on catching problems early before they escalate. Our team knows Lacey’s homes inside out, from older brick chimneys in the historic district to modern inserts in newer neighborhoods like Black Lake. If you’re paying more than you should for a sweep, you’re likely dealing with a business that doesn’t value transparency, or worse, one that’s cutting corners.
Other Lacey chimney sweeps will tell you your chimney ‘needs work’ and then hit you with a $500 bill for a new liner you don’t actually need. We inspect first, explain everything, and only recommend what’s necessary. If your chimney’s fine, you walk away with a clean bill of health, and no surprise charges. That’s how we’ve earned trust from Lacey homeowners for decades.
You’ll get a flat-rate estimate over the phone, with no ‘additional fees’ or ‘upcharges’ tacked on later. Our pricing is based on what we actually do, not what we might find. If we discover a problem that wasn’t obvious at first, we’ll call you before we start and give you three options: fix it now, schedule it for later, or walk away. No pressure, no hard sell.
Some sweeps in Lacey will clean your chimney and leave you hanging if they spot a crack or rust. We don’t. If we find an issue that could turn into a bigger problem, we’ll tell you exactly what it is, how much it’ll cost to fix, and whether it’s urgent. You’ll never get the runaround or the ‘call us back if you have questions’ treatment. That’s not how we do business in Lacey.
We’re not some fly-by-night crew that shows up once and disappears. We’ve been serving Lacey since 2014, and our license and insurance are always up to date. If we miss something after we leave, we’ll return to fix it, no questions asked. That’s why so many Lacey families call us when their neighbors recommend a chimney sweep.
Give us a call at (253) 294-9938, and we’ll ask a few quick questions about your chimney. You’ll get a flat-rate price over the phone, no sales pitch, no upsells. If you’re unsure, we’ll schedule a free inspection to see what’s really going on. Lacey homeowners love this step because it saves them time and money upfront.
No generic ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach here. We bring brushes, vacuums, and cameras tailored to your chimney type, whether it’s a masonry flue, a stainless steel liner, or a pellet stove connection. We’ll also check for common Lacey issues like water damage from heavy rain or animal nests from nearby wooded areas.
While we work, we’ll walk you through what we’re finding. See creosote buildup? We’ll show you how thick it is and whether it’s a Stage 1, 2, or 3 hazard. Spot a crack? We’ll measure it and tell you if it’s a $200 fix or a $2,000 project. No vague ‘your chimney’s old’ excuses, just facts you can trust.
After we’re done, you’ll get a detailed report with photos, our findings, and clear recommendations. If repairs are needed, we’ll give you three options: fix it now, schedule it later, or get a second opinion. No high-pressure sales tactics, just straightforward advice so you can make the best decision for your Lacey home.
"We’ve used Dwayne J Chimney for years, and they’re the only ones who ever give us a straight answer. Last winter, they found a crack in our chimney liner that another sweep said was ‘fine for now.’ Turns out it was leaking carbon monoxide. We’re still grateful they caught it, and that they didn’t try to upsell us on a new chimney when a $400 reline fixed it."
"I was paying $250 every year for a chimney sweep in Lacey, but I always felt like I was getting ripped off. Dwayne J Chimney gave me a free inspection and told me I was overpaying. They swept my chimney for $130 and found a clogged cap that was making my fireplace smoke into the house. Fixed it for $180. Saved me $400 in one trip, and now I know exactly what I’m paying for."
"Our pellet stove was burning through fuel like crazy, and we couldn’t figure out why. Dwayne J Chimney cleaned the entire system, stove pipe, flue, everything, and our stove now runs 30% more efficiently. They also found a small leak in the stove pipe that could’ve caused a fire. We’ve been telling everyone in Lacey about them."
"We bought a fixer-upper in Lacey and were told the chimney was ‘fine.’ Dwayne J Chimney inspected it and found rust eating through the flue. They relined it for $1,200, which saved us from a $5,000 rebuild. The best part? They explained everything in plain English and gave us options. No sales pitch, just honest advice."
"I called Dwayne J Chimney after my fireplace started smoking into the living room. They showed up in 90 minutes, found a blocked flue, and cleaned it for $150. No upsells, no ‘you need a new chimney’ nonsense. Just a clean chimney and a happy customer. I’ve recommended them to three neighbors already."
"We’ve had our Lacey home for 15 years, and Dwayne J Chimney is the only service we trust. They’re the only ones who’ll tell us the truth, like when they found a mouse nest in our chimney last fall. They removed it for free and warned us to check for nests every spring. That’s the kind of service you don’t find everywhere."

That smell means creosote buildup or a cracked flue lining, both common in Lacey’s older homes after wet winters. A basic sweep starts around $120, but if the flue is damaged, repairs can run $300–$600. We’ll inspect first, then give you a precise quote before touching your chimney. Ignoring it risks carbon monoxide leaks, which are especially dangerous in Lacey’s tight, older homes.
If your cap is rusted, bent, or missing pieces, it’s failing. Lacey’s frequent gusts push debris and moisture into your flue, accelerating damage. A new cap costs $150–$250 installed, but we often bundle it with a sweep for $200 total. We use stainless steel caps that last 10+ years, no cheap aluminum that’ll warp in Lacey’s climate.
Not an emergency, but it’s urgent. Crumbling mortar lets rain seep in, weakening the structure over time. Repointing costs $400–$800 depending on the damage. We use flexible, waterproof mortar that stands up to Lacey’s wet winters. Left unrepaired, it can lead to a full chimney rebuild, costing thousands.
DIY sweeps often miss creosote in hard-to-reach spots, especially in Lacey’s older masonry chimneys. Our tools remove buildup completely, reducing fire risks. A pro sweep costs $100–$200, while a DIY kit and mistakes can lead to $1,000+ in repairs if you damage the flue. We also check for hidden issues like animal nests or corrosion.
Slow heat-up usually means creosote clogging the flue or a blocked cap. Lacey’s humidity worsens this over time. A sweep clears blockages in 30–60 minutes, restoring proper airflow. If the issue persists after sweeping, we’ll check for a cracked flue or improper draft design, common in older homes near 5th Avenue.
We avoid upselling or charging for ‘hidden fees.’ Many sweeps pad quotes for ‘travel time’ or ‘emergency calls,’ but we include everything in one fair price. Our $120–$200 range covers a full inspection, sweep, and honest advice, no surprises. Lacey homeowners tell us they’ve paid twice as much elsewhere for the same service.
Black stains are Stage 2 creosote, which can ignite and cause chimney fires. A sweep removes it safely for $150–$250. We use rotary brushes and high-pressure vacuums to avoid damaging your flue. Lacey’s fire season makes this a critical fix, don’t wait until you see glowing embers in the flue.
Homes near Black Lake often have older brick chimneys with mortar that’s deteriorated from Lacey’s moisture. Watch for white powdery residue (efflorescence) or cracks near the crown. We recommend annual sweeps for these homes, as creosote builds up faster in high-humidity areas. A full inspection costs $80 extra but catches problems before they spread.
