David Chimney was founded on a straightforward belief: Lacey families deserve a chimney service company they can trust without reservation. Our owner, David, began his career in the trades over two decades ago, eventually specializing in chimney systems after recognizing how few local companies combined genuine technical expertise with honest, client-first service. What started as a one-truck operation has grown into a respected team of certified chimney professionals serving hundreds of households across Lacey and the broader Thurston and Pierce County region — all while maintaining the personal attention and accountability of a family-owned business.
"David Chimney came out the same week I called, which I really appreciated heading into fall. The technician was professional, thorough, and took the time to show me photos of the creosote buildup before and after the sweep. Pricing was exactly as quoted. I've already recommended them to two neighbors."
"We needed a Level II inspection as part of our home purchase and David Chimney delivered a detailed written report with clear photos within 24 hours. The inspector explained everything without talking down to us. We found a cracked flue tile that could have been a serious problem — incredibly glad we had this done."
"I noticed my fireplace was smoking into the room and called David Chimney on a Thursday. They were at my house Friday morning. Turned out the damper was warped and partially blocked with debris. They replaced it with a top-mount damper the same visit. Fireplace works perfectly now. Outstanding service."
"We've been using David Chimney for three years now for our annual sweep and they've been consistently excellent. Honest, punctual, and they always leave the living room cleaner than they found it. We had tuckpointing done last spring and the quality of the masonry work genuinely impressed us. Highly recommend."
"I didn't even realize dryer vent cleaning was something chimney companies did until I called about my fireplace. They cleaned both the chimney and the dryer vent in one visit. My dryer now finishes a load in one cycle again and I feel so much better knowing that fire risk is gone. Great value."
"As a property manager overseeing several rental units in Lacey, I need contractors who show up, do the job right, and communicate clearly. David Chimney checks every box. Their written inspection reports are detailed enough to satisfy insurance requirements and their pricing is consistent and fair across multiple properties."

The National Fire Protection Association recommends chimney sweeping at least once per year. In Lacey's damp Pacific Northwest climate, annual sweeping is especially important because moisture combines with creosote to accelerate buildup. If you burn more than three cords of wood per season, twice-yearly sweeping is advisable. Don't skip years — even gas fireplaces need annual inspections.
A Level I inspection covers all accessible portions of the chimney interior and exterior and is appropriate for regularly maintained systems with no recent changes. A Level II inspection adds a full video camera scan of the flue and is required when selling a home, changing fuel types, or after any chimney event such as a fire or earthquake. David Chimney performs both.
Chimney sweep pricing in the Lacey area typically ranges from $150 to $300 depending on chimney height, flue configuration, and the degree of creosote buildup. David Chimney provides free, no-obligation estimates before any work begins so you know the exact cost upfront with no surprise fees. Call (425) 439-7672 for your personalized quote.
Yes — creosote is extremely dangerous. It is a highly flammable byproduct of wood combustion that accumulates on flue walls in three progressive stages. Stage three glazed creosote can ignite at temperatures exceeding 2,000°F and burn for hours, reaching temperatures that crack flue liners and ignite surrounding framing. Chimney fires are a leading cause of residential house fires. Annual sweeping removes creosote before it reaches dangerous levels.
Yes, a chimney cap is strongly recommended for every Lacey home with a masonry or metal flue. Caps prevent rainwater from entering the flue — a major source of liner and masonry damage — and block animals such as birds, raccoons, and squirrels from nesting inside. They also stop downdrafts and ember sparks. Stainless steel caps installed by David Chimney come with a guarantee against defects.
A standard chimney sweep and Level I inspection typically takes 45 minutes to 90 minutes depending on the chimney's complexity and condition. A Level II inspection with video camera scanning takes approximately 90 minutes to two hours. David Chimney technicians arrive with all necessary equipment and will not rush through the service — thoroughness is our standard.
Yes, chimney sweeping can be performed year-round, including winter. We simply ask that the fireplace not be actively burning within a few hours of the appointment so the firebox is safe to work in. In fact, scheduling a sweep before the busy heating season — ideally in early fall — is ideal for Lacey homeowners who want their system ready before the first cold snap.
Yes, David Chimney is fully licensed in Washington State and carries comprehensive general liability insurance as well as workers' compensation coverage. This protects you, our technicians, and your property throughout every job. We are happy to provide proof of insurance and licensing upon request.
