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 Sharon, MA
Chimney work in Sharon, MA comes down to three things: older flues, lakefront moisture, and a tree canopy that drops more debris into chimneys than most towns see anywhere in Norfolk County. If you’re looking for a chimney company that shows you what’s actually going on inside your flue before recommending any repair, you’re in the right place. We sweep, inspect, and repair gas fireplaces across Sharon, and every job starts with a written price before work begins. Call (336) 863-3889 any time, and a live person answers.
Why Sharon Homes Are Different
Sharon’s housing stock puts unusual pressure on chimneys. The suburban boom of the 1960s through 1980s left a dense inventory of Colonial and split-level tract homes with builder-grade fireplaces. These chimneys typically have thin prefab flue liners and minimal clearances that were fine when new but now, 40 to 60 years later, routinely need relining as they age. Homeowners on streets like Massapoag Avenue or South Main Street near the historic center are often discovering that what looks like a minor crack on the outside is actually a liner problem two-thirds of the way up.
Then there’s the lake. Sharon sits on Lake Massapoag, the largest natural lake in Norfolk County, and the ring of mid-century summer cottages around it was never built for year-round heating. Those chimneys are undersized and lightly constructed, and the persistent lakeside humidity accelerates mortar joint decay and spalling far faster than comparable inland chimneys in nearby Stoughton or Canton. Add in Sharon’s heavy nor’easter snowfall and freeze-thaw cycles, and you get hairline cracks that widen every winter. The tree canopy doesn’t help either. Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary and Sharon’s extensive conservation land mean wooded-neighborhood chimneys collect heavy leaf loads and become frequent nesting sites for raccoons and chimney swifts.
Our Main Sharon Services
Sharon homeowners most often call us for two things: a thorough sweep before burning season, and an inspection when they suspect something isn’t right. Gas fireplace repair runs a close third, especially in newer homes where the appliance was installed years ago and hasn’t been serviced since. Each service has its own dedicated Sharon page with full pricing and details.
Chimney Sweep in Sharon
A proper Chimney Sweep in Sharon removes creosote, the tar-like buildup that causes chimney fires, along with leaves, nests, and whatever else the wind and wildlife have deposited. In Sharon’s wooded neighborhoods, we regularly pull out squirrel nests and three seasons of maple leaves before we even reach the creosote. The job includes a written report and, when needed, photo documentation of what we found. You’ll know what came out of your flue and what condition it’s in when we leave.
Chimney Inspection in Sharon
A Chimney Inspection in Sharon tells you whether your chimney is safe to use before you light the first fire. Sharon’s older homes near the town center often have original clay tile liners that have endured 60 to 80 years of freeze-thaw cycling, and those tiles crack in ways you can’t see from the hearth. We use a camera to document the flue’s interior and give you a straight answer: safe to burn, needs repair, or needs relining. Nothing gets recommended without footage you can see for yourself.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Sharon
For Gas Fireplace Repair in Sharon, the most common calls involve pilot lights that won’t stay lit, thermocouples that have failed, and burners that light unevenly. Sharon’s lakefront homes add a complication: persistent moisture can corrode gas valves and burner assemblies faster than drier inland locations. If your gas fireplace is short-cycling or producing a lazy, yellow flame, that’s a combustion problem worth addressing before the heating season. We carry professional-grade replacement parts, not box-store substitutes.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Sharon
Most Sharon appointments are scheduled within 3 to 5 business days, and we offer evening and weekend slots for homeowners who can’t take time off work. If you have an urgent issue like water entering the chimney during a storm, call (336) 863-3889 and we’ll work you in faster.
Routine chimney sweeping and inspections do not require a permit in Sharon. For structural repairs or relining, Sharon’s building department may require a permit depending on the scope, and we’ll tell you plainly if yours does. We handle paperwork when it’s needed.
If your cottage was converted from seasonal to year-round use, have the flue checked before the first burn. Many of these homes still have their original 6-inch clay flues, and connecting a modern wood insert to an undersized, unlined flue accelerates creosote buildup dramatically. It’s better to know before you light the first fire.
