Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterChimney Company in Lely Resort, FL
Chimney work in Lely Resort looks different from what most chimney companies are built for. Homes here lean on prefabricated, factory-built fireplace systems rather than traditional masonry, and they sit in salt-tinged Gulf air ten months of the year before anyone thinks to light a fire. We’re Alcott Chimney Sweep, and we handle that specific reality every day: corrosion on metal chase covers, wildlife that moved in during the long off-season, and gas fireplaces that need attention before the first cool night in December. Call (336) 863-3889 and you’ll get a live person, a written price before any work starts, and a technician whose name and photo you’ll see before we arrive.
Why Lely Resort Homes Are Different
Lely Resort is master-planned around golf and resort living, and its housing stock reflects that. Most homes were built from the early 1990s through the 2010s, and the overwhelming majority use prefabricated, zero-clearance factory-built fireplace systems, not site-built masonry. That matters because those systems rely on metal chase covers, galvanized flashing, and manufacturer-specific surrounds that fail differently than brick and mortar. In Southwest Florida’s humidity, those components corrode faster than they would in Orlando or Jacksonville, and a chase cover that lets water through becomes a slow leak into the wall cavity no one notices for months.
There’s another factor that shapes nearly every Lely Resort service call: fireplaces here are dormant from March through November. That means wildlife, especially raccoons and chimney swifts, have nine or ten months to nest undisturbed. We routinely pull intact nests out of flues in December, right when a homeowner tries to light their first fire of the season. A pre-season inspection with cap verification prevents that discovery, and it’s the single most common call type in this community. The moisture trapped inside a sealed, unused chimney also breeds rust and mold even in a system that never sees a flame.
Our Main Lely Resort Services
Most Lely Resort homeowners reach out to us for one of two reasons: a sweep before the brief winter season, or an inspection after months of the fireplace sitting sealed. Gas fireplace repair picks up in the fall as well. Each service has its own page, so here’s the short version and the right link.
Chimney Sweep in Lely Resort
In Lely Resort, a sweep isn’t usually about creosote. It’s about clearing what moved in while the system was dormant. Our Chimney Sweep in Lely Resort service removes nesting material, checks chase covers and caps for corrosion, and verifies the damper operates before we leave. Since most fireplaces here are factory-built, we use brushes and vacuums rated for those specific systems. If you haven’t used your fireplace since last winter, this is the service to book before the first genuinely cool evening.
Chimney Inspection in Lely Resort
A visual inspection catches what you can’t see from the hearth: rust bloom on the chase cover, a shifted cap after storm season, cracked refractory panels, or a wildlife entry point behind the surround. Our Chimney Inspection in Lely Resort service documents what we find with photos and a written report, so you can make a decision based on evidence, not a sales pitch. It’s the right call if your system has been unused for a season or two and you want to know whether it’s actually safe to light.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Lely Resort
Decorative gas logs and factory-built gas fireplaces are the norm in Lely Resort, and they develop their own set of failures: dirty or corroded burner tubes, failing thermopiles, and pilot assemblies that refuse to stay lit after months of inactivity. Our Gas Fireplace Repair in Lely Resort service diagnoses the actual component at fault and gives you a written price before any repair happens. If it’s a control issue, we’ll tell you that plainly, and if it can wait, we’ll say that too.

Brands We Service in Lely Resort
We stock and install professional trade materials only. That means Famco chase covers and caps, Copperfield chimney components, and DuraFlex liner systems where a liner is actually needed. No box-store substitutes. For the our brands we carry, we keep common Lely Resort parts on the truck, which shortens turnaround on most repairs.
