(301) 719-5236Contact Hearthstone Chimney Co. - Free Chimney Cleaning Estimate in Gaithersburg
Call us at (301) 719-5236 and you’ll reach a live coordinator who can book your free assessment. We’ve served Gaithersburg homeowners since 2014, and we don’t hard-sell. You’ll get a straight answer about whether your chimney needs work, a written estimate with no obligation, and if you choose to move forward, we’ll schedule the job at a time that works for your household.
What Happens When You Call
Step 1: We answer and listen. A live coordinator picks up, takes your name and address in Gaithersburg or nearby, and asks what prompted the call. Maybe it’s been years since your last sweep, or you’re noticing a smoky smell, or you’re preparing for burning season. We don’t rush you.
Step 2: We schedule your assessment. We’ll find a window that fits your calendar. Before we arrive, you’ll know what the visit costs - nothing. The assessment itself is free, and we show up when we say we will.
Step 3: We inspect and deliver a written estimate. Our sweep performs a level-2 inspection with a camera, documents what we find with photos you can see for yourself, and explains whether the work is urgent, can wait a season, or isn’t needed at all. The estimate is itemized. No surprises on the bill.
Step 4: You decide, and we complete the work. If you approve the estimate, we schedule the job. When we’re done, we clean up thoroughly and leave the written warranty in your hand: The Keystone Standard, 90 days, in writing, no arguing.
Why Gaithersburg Homeowners Call Us First
- We’re local to Montgomery County. Our team lives and works in the Gaithersburg area, so we understand how the freeze-thaw cycles around the Potomac watershed affect masonry, and we know which neighborhoods - like Kentlands and Old Towne - tend to have older flue constructions that need careful evaluation.
- Every pro is properly credentialed. The technicians working under our name are required to hold the license and insurance Maryland requires for chimney work. We don’t send anyone to your home who isn’t qualified to be there.
- Our pricing is transparent from the first call. The assessment is free. The estimate is written and itemized. If we find something unexpected during the job, we stop and talk with you before adding a single line item. A square deal means no surprises on the bill.
- We stand behind our work. The Keystone Standard guarantee covers every job for 90 days. If something isn’t right, we come back. No paperwork to file, no arguing about whose fault it was. That’s how we’ve operated since 2014.

Frequently Asked Questions - Booking & Estimates
Yes. The level-2 camera inspection and written estimate come at no charge and carry no obligation. We believe you should know what you’re dealing with before you spend a dollar. Call (301) 719-5236 to schedule yours.
We typically schedule Gaithersburg assessments within a few business days, and sometimes sooner depending on routing. We don’t promise same-day arrival, but we do promise we’ll be there when we say. Call to check current availability.
Our standard rates apply during all operating hours. We don’t penalize you for needing an appointment outside typical weekday windows. The estimate will reflect your actual scope of work, not the day of the week.
Your address, a rough sense of when your chimney was last swept or inspected, and any symptoms you’ve noticed - smoke backup, odd odors, visible cracks in the masonry. If you know the appliance type (wood-burning fireplace, gas insert, pellet stove), that helps too. The coordinator will handle the rest.
We accept major credit cards, checks, and cash. Payment is due upon completion of the work, not before. You’ll see the final total on your invoice before you pay - no surprises on the bill.
