Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Fast, Reliable Chimney Repair Across Murfreesboro
If your chimney is staining, smoking, or venting wrong, we can take the call today.

Our technicians have up to 9 years of experience, and we handle sweep, inspection, and repair under one company so nothing gets handed off. Call (844) 372-0461. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday.
Why Murfreesboro Homeowners Call Goodwin Chimney Sweep for Chimney Repair
We’re a chimney specialist, not a general handyman who happens to own a brush. That matters in Murfreesboro because so many repair calls here land on factory-built systems that need the right listed components, not generic hardware-store parts. We work with professional-grade brands like DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Olympia Chimney, and we can reseal or replace a metal flue section to the correct spec instead of guessing at it.
When you book with us, you get one crew from the first sweep to the finished repair. Our technicians run a documented Level 2 inspection, show you the photos, and tell you plainly what needs fixing and what can safely wait. Nothing gets recommended without camera evidence you can look at yourself. We can also work with your insurer when a claim is part of the picture.
We serve homeowners across Murfreesboro, from newer subdivisions off the major corridors to established brick homes closer to the square, and we know the difference in what those two kinds of chimneys usually need.

Chimney Crown Repair in Murfreesboro
Chimney crown repair in Murfreesboro usually comes up on the older brick homes nearer downtown and in established neighborhoods, where freeze-thaw cycles have opened cracks across the top of the stack. The crown is the concrete cap that sheds water away from the flue; once it cracks, rain tracks down into the smoke chamber and starts breaking down mortar from the inside. A typical crown repair in Murfreesboro runs $425 – $850 depending on whether we resurface the existing crown or pour a new one with a proper overhang and bond break at the flue.
Resurfacing versus rebuilding
When the crown is cracked but the structure underneath is sound, a resurfacing product like HeatShield lets us rebuild that top surface without tearing into the stack. If the brick courses beneath are loose or spalling, we’ll show you why a partial rebuild makes more sense.
Sealing the flashing while we’re up there
Crown cracks and flashing leaks often travel together. We reseal or replace the flashing where the chimney meets the roof, so water stops finding the same path down into the attic.
Chimney Repair Companies in Murfreesboro
Choosing between chimney repair companies in Murfreesboro comes down to whether they can inspect, diagnose, and actually complete the repair, or whether they’ll sweep, find a problem, and refer you somewhere else. We do all three. A typical repair visit starts with a Level 2 inspection, then moves straight into the fix: crown work, flashing, a listed cap, mortar repointing, or a liner section. Typical Murfreesboro repair work runs $275 – $1,400 for most jobs, with full chimney rebuilding priced higher and quoted on the written estimate.
What a documented inspection looks like
You get photos of the flue interior, the crown, the cap, and the chase. If we can’t show you the problem, we won’t tell you it’s there.
Repair work that’s actually within scope
We handle tuckpointing, spalling brick repair, waterproofing, flashing, and rebuilding, plus metal flue and cap work on factory-built fireplaces. If a job falls outside what we do, we’ll say so upfront.
Trusted Brands We Service in Murfreesboro
We install and work with professional chimney industry brands, including DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney for flexible liner work and HeatShield for resurfacing. That means repairs use materials built for the trade, not substitutes. We don’t claim to stock parts locally, but we know these product lines well enough to order the right components and get your Murfreesboro repair scheduled without a long wait. If a job calls for a specific brand, we’ll tell you which one and why.

AfterCommon Chimney Repair Problems We See in Murfreesboro Homes
Because so much of Murfreesboro’s 1990s – 2000s subdivision housing uses prefab zero-clearance fireboxes that vent through lightweight metal flues running up shared chases, a repair call here is more often about a missing cap, blocked chase, or failed firestop than repointing an old brick stack. In a typical Murfreesboro repair call, a homeowner notices staining on the chase or a smoky draft and learns the factory-built metal flue lost its cap or was installed with a blocked chase. Here’s what we find most:
- Missing or wrong-size cap on a factory flue. Rain and animals get into a chase that often hasn’t been inspected since the house was built.
- Blocked chase or missing firestop. Zero-clearance fireplaces installed against spec don’t draft right and can leak heat into the chase.
- Shared-stack cross-contamination. In dense or attached housing, a neighbor’s appliance venting into the same stack can push smoke and carbon monoxide back through a damper that doesn’t seal.
- Freeze-thaw crown and flashing cracks. On older brick homes, spalling mortar and water tracking down the smoke chamber follow a cracked crown.
Pricing for Chimney Repair in Murfreesboro, TN
Repair pricing in Murfreesboro runs on a per-job written estimate, and the estimate is free. As a guide, a typical crown repair is $425 – $850, flashing repair is $250 – $600, chimney waterproofing is $300 – $800, mortar repointing is $400 – $900, and a full chimney rebuild runs well above that depending on height, access, and how much brick has to come out. What moves the number is roof pitch and access, whether the chase needs opening to reach the flue, and whether you’re on a factory-built metal flue or true masonry. You get the range in writing before we start, and nothing is recommended without camera evidence you can see for yourself. Call (844) 372-0461 for your free estimate.

FAQs About Chimney Repair in Murfreesboro
In most cases, no. Many factory-built metal flues in Murfreesboro’s 2000s subdivisions have never been professionally inspected since install. A Level 2 inspection with a camera shows you the true condition of that flue. Call (844) 372-0461 to book one.
A shared stack with two appliances can push smoke back through a damper that doesn’t seal. When a neighbor’s appliance vents into the same stack, cross-contamination happens, and it can carry carbon monoxide with it, not just smoke. We’ll check the damper and firestop and recommend the fix.
It’s a real repair, and a small one now is far cheaper than the water damage it causes later. A cracked crown lets water track down the smoke chamber and break down mortar. Small cracks can often be resurfaced with HeatShield before they widen. Call (844) 372-0461 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
NFPA 211 calls for a Level 2 inspection on a change of occupancy, such as buying a home, and an annual inspection is the standard practice. Even a lightly used flue in Murfreesboro can pick up moisture and creosote over a humid summer. Book an inspection to stay ahead of it.
Third-degree creosote is the hardened, glazed stage that a standard brush won’t remove. It’s the most fire-prone form and calls for chemical or rotary cleaning, or liner work if the flue is compromised. We’ll show you what we find on camera and tell you which route is right.
