Chimney Sweep + Dryer Vent Cleaning Combo — $299, One Visit
I’m Tim McGirl, the owner of A&T Chimney Sweeps in Manassas. The two jobs people most often need done in the same month are the chimney and the dryer vent, so I price them together. One appointment, one trip, both done, and you get a written report on the chimney before I leave.

- Chimney + dryer vent + gutters: $429. Separately that is $477 for a townhouse or $507 for a single-family home. Book all three.
Every price is on the pricing page. They are flat prices, the same ones the online scheduler charges.
What happens during the visit
Appointments have a three-hour arrival window. Most combo visits take between 75 minutes and two hours.
- The chimney comes first, about 45 to 60 minutes. Drop cloths go down in front of the fireplace. The flue is brushed with rotary brushes and the soot and creosote are collected with a HEPA-filtered vacuum. Then comes the visual inspection: flue, smoke chamber, damper, firebox, crown, cap and flashing.
- You get the written report. It says what was cleaned, what condition the chimney is in, and anything that needs attention. If something does, I explain it and you decide. There is more detail in what to expect during a chimney sweep.
- Then the dryer vent, about 30 to 45 minutes. The dryer is pulled out and disconnected. The whole vent run is cleaned from the dryer to the outside wall or roof with rotating brushes and a vacuum. The outside vent hood is checked, the dryer is reconnected, and the airflow is checked before it goes back against the wall.
To get ready, clear a few feet in front of the fireplace, make sure the dryer can be reached, and keep pets in another room.
If your HOA or condo association requires it
Many townhouse and condo associations in Northern Virginia require owners to have the fireplace chimney and the dryer vent cleaned or inspected on a schedule, and to send in proof. One recent customer’s association asks for it every two years. Others ask every year.
The reason is shared walls. In a townhouse or a condo the dryer vent often runs a long way, up through a wall or out through the roof, and lint collects in every bend. A fire that starts in one unit does not stay in one unit, so the association makes it everyone’s job.
What an association usually wants is a dated document from the company that did the work. Every chimney cleaning I do comes with a written report, and the combo covers both items on the letter in a single visit. Check your association’s notice for the exact wording and the deadline, and mention it when you book.
How $299 compares in Northern Virginia
Most chimney companies here do not publish prices at all. Among the ones that do, as of November 2026, a chimney cleaning by itself is listed anywhere from $150 to $329, and most are between $199 and $279. Angi’s 2026 cost guide puts the national average for a chimney sweep at $254.
So $299 for the chimney and the dryer vent together is about what a number of companies charge for the chimney alone. I would rather publish one flat price and let you compare than make you call for a quote.
If the chimney turns out not to need cleaning
On a recent combo visit the chimney was already clean. Here is how that customer described it in his Google review:
“We booked a chimney and dryer vent cleaning since our HOA requires one every two years. […] Tim was fast and efficient. He also saw that our chimney was clean and offered to save us some money by making it an inspection instead of inspection and cleaning.”
Daniel H., Google review, October 2026
If a chimney does not need sweeping, I would rather tell you than sell you a cleaning. How often a chimney needs it depends on how much you burn. There is a plain answer in how often you should get your chimney cleaned.

Common questions
How much is the chimney and dryer vent combo?
$299 for a fireplace or furnace chimney cleaning plus a dryer vent cleaning in the same visit. The chimney cleaning includes an inspection and a written report. Booked separately the two are $179 and $149, which is $328.
Does the combo work with a wood stove or a pellet stove?
Yes. The wood or pellet stove + dryer vent combo is also $299. A stove cleaning on its own is $189.
Will the written report satisfy my HOA?
Associations generally ask for a dated record from the company that did the work, and that is what the report is. Requirements differ from one community to the next, so read the notice your association sent and mention it when you book.
How long does the appointment take?
Most combo visits take 75 minutes to two hours: 45 to 60 minutes for the chimney and 30 to 45 minutes for the dryer vent. Appointments have a three-hour arrival window.
Can I add gutter cleaning?

How often should the chimney and dryer vent be done?
The National Fire Protection Association says chimneys, fireplaces and vents should be inspected at least once a year. Once a year is also the usual recommendation for a dryer vent, and sooner if loads start taking longer to dry. If your association sets a schedule, follow whichever is more frequent.
