Dahlia Chimney Inc. carries full liability insurance and worker’s comp, so you’re protected if the unexpected happens. All our work comes with a 1-year workmanship warranty, and our chimney caps and waterproofing are backed by manufacturer warranties. We’re not a handyman with a ladder—we’re a professional chimney service that meets Massachusetts’ strict licensing requirements. Check our credentials; we’ve got nothing to hide.
We don’t push unnecessary repairs or inspections. If your chimney is clean and safe, we’ll tell you. If it needs work, we’ll show you the evidence and give you options—never a hard sell. Our goal is a satisfied customer, not a bigger bill. We’ve been serving Melrose since 2012, and our repeat clients prove it: honest work speaks for itself.
Chimney fires and carbon monoxide leaks don’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule. We offer same-day or next-day appointments for emergencies, including after-hours calls for active leaks or blockages. Call (857) 340-2165, and we’ll be at your door in Melrose or nearby towns like Wakefield or Stoneham within hours—not days. Your safety isn’t negotiable.
We know Melrose’s older homes inside and out. From the historic Tudors on Franklin Street to the post-war ranches on Main, we’ve seen it all—and fixed it all. Our familiarity with local building codes and common issues (like cracked chimney crowns in 1950s homes) means we spot problems faster and quote repairs accurately. No surprises, no overcharging—just local expertise you can trust.
Dahlia Chimney Inc. isn’t your average chimney sweep—we’re the no-BS, checklist-driven pros Melrose homeowners trust to cut through the noise. When you call us, you won’t get a sales pitch about ‘premium packages’ or vague promises. Instead, you’ll get a straight answer on exactly what your chimney needs, why it matters for your Melrose home, and how we’ll get it done without wasting your time or money. We’ve seen too many neighbors in Melrose and nearby towns pay for unnecessary upsells after shoddy sweeps left their systems half-cleaned. Our approach? Transparent pricing, clear timelines, and a crew that treats your chimney like it’s our own.
"Called Dahlia Chimney on a Friday for a Sunday emergency sweep after a raccoon got stuck in my flue. They were here at 8 AM sharp, fixed the blockage, and swept the chimney—all for less than the big-name companies quoted. No upsells, no nonsense. Highly recommend."
"Our 1940s home’s chimney hadn’t been cleaned in 10 years. The inspector found a hairline crack in the crown that could’ve led to a major repair. Dahlia fixed it the same week for a fair price. Their waterproofing service stopped the leaks that were staining our ceiling. Worth every penny."
"I’ve used Dahlia Chimney for three years now. They’re the only company that shows up on time, does the job right, and doesn’t try to sell me things I don’t need. Their Level 2 inspection saved me from a $5,000 liner replacement—turns out my flue was just clogged with debris."
"After a chimney fire scare, I panicked and called the first number I found. Dahlia came out the next day, cleaned the flue, and explained exactly what caused the issue (old creosote buildup). Their technician walked me through maintenance tips to prevent it from happening again. True professionals."
"Dahlia Chimney installed a chimney cap for me last winter. It’s held up through two nor’easters, and I haven’t seen a single squirrel in my flue. The team was friendly, efficient, and didn’t try to upsell me on extra services. Local business done right."
"I’ve had bad experiences with other chimney sweeps leaving my house a mess. Dahlia’s team was meticulous—no dust, no debris, and they even polished my fireplace glass. They’re pricier than some, but you get what you pay for. My chimney’s never been cleaner."

Proudly serving Melrose and these nearby communities.
In Melrose, a standard Level 1 chimney sweep runs $180–$240, while Stoneham averages $190–$250 and Wakefield $175–$230 due to slightly higher travel costs. We price by flue type and chimney height, not by town—so you won’t pay extra just because your home’s on a hill near the Fells Reservation.
Skip the DIY—Melrose’s freeze-thaw cycles can hide dangerous cracks behind soot or loose bricks. A pro inspection with a camera costs $120–$150 but catches issues like cracked flue tiles or deteriorating mortar before they become $2,000+ repairs. Your fireplace isn’t a science experiment.
A two-flue sweep in Melrose takes 60–90 minutes, including setup and cleanup. We arrive on time, work efficiently, and leave your hearth spotless—no waiting around while we chat about ‘recommended upgrades’ you don’t need.
Melrose’s humid winters and wood-burning culture create creosote buildup 30% faster than in drier climates. The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual sweeps here, while states like Arizona suggest every two years. Your chimney isn’t a desert—it’s a New England workhorse.
A Level 1 inspection ($120–$150) covers your accessible chimney and flue; we do this annually. A Level 2 ($250–$350) includes a camera scan of the entire system and is required after a chimney fire, home sale, or if you’ve changed your fuel type. Don’t pay for Level 2 unless you need it.
Yes—once we confirm no debris is left in the firebox and the damper moves freely, your fireplace is safe to use. We’ll even light a test fire if you’re unsure. No waiting days for ‘curing’ chemicals or vague ‘drying periods’.
We remove small nests and debris for $40–$60, but raccoons or squirrels require a wildlife specialist—we’ll refer you to a trusted Melrose animal control pro. Trying to DIY this risks damaging your chimney liner.
Emergency calls (same-day or next-day) in Melrose start at $280, which is 15–20% lower than most competitors. We don’t gouge for ‘urgent’ jobs—if your chimney’s blocked after a windstorm on Broadway, you’ll get a fair price, not a panic fee.
