We carry full liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage for every job in Lacey.
We provide free, detailed estimates before any work begins and never add hidden fees after the job is done. Our pricing reflects the true scope of work, the quality of materials we use, and the experience we bring to every project. Lacey homeowners deserve honest numbers, and that's exactly what we deliver every single time we visit.
We stand behind every service we perform. Our repairs and installations come with written workmanship warranties because we're confident in the quality of our work and the materials we select.

We understand that chimney concerns don't always arise at convenient times. David Chimney offers same-week scheduling for most Lacey-area appointments and prioritizes urgent situations such as damaged caps after storms or blocked flues that prevent safe operation. Call (425) 439-7672 and speak directly with our team — not an answering service — to get on the schedule fast.
David Chimney was founded on a straightforward belief: Lacey homeowners deserve chimney professionals who show up prepared, communicate honestly, and deliver results that last. Too many families have experienced technicians who rush through appointments, miss critical defects, or recommend unnecessary repairs to pad an invoice. We built this company specifically to be the alternative — a chimney service where every technician is trained to thoroughness, every estimate is accurate, and every job is treated with the care you'd expect a professional to bring to their own home. Our team serves the full Lacey area and surrounding Thurston County communities with the same level of attentiveness whether it's a quick annual sweep or a multi-day chimney rebuild.
"David Chimney came out for an inspection before we bought our house, and they found a cracked liner the previous inspector missed entirely. That finding saved us from a potentially catastrophic situation. They were professional, thorough, and explained everything without making us feel rushed. I recommend them to every new homeowner I know."
"I called on a Thursday afternoon and had an appointment by Friday morning — impressive turnaround. The technician was on time, courteous, and completed our annual sweep and level 1 inspection in about 90 minutes. The house stayed clean throughout and we got a written report the same day. Will absolutely use David Chimney every year going forward."
"We had significant water damage to our chimney crown after a bad winter storm. David Chimney came out quickly, assessed the full extent of the damage honestly, and gave us a written estimate that matched the final invoice exactly. The repair has held up through two rainy seasons now. Trustworthy, skilled, and fairly priced."
"Our insert installation required a new stainless liner and cap. David Chimney handled the whole project — measurement, sourcing, installation, and final inspection — without any drama. They explained the process at every stage and left our living room cleaner than they found it. The fireplace draws perfectly now. Excellent experience start to finish."
"I added dryer vent cleaning to my chimney appointment after the technician mentioned it. I'm so glad I did — they pulled out a startling amount of lint from a vent I thought was fine. My dryer now finishes a load in half the time and I feel much safer. Great value for combining both services in one visit."
"I've used other chimney companies in the area and always felt like I was being upsold. David Chimney was completely different — honest assessment, reasonable pricing, and no pressure whatsoever. They pointed out one minor mortar issue and explained I could address it now or monitor it for a season. That kind of straightforward advice earns loyalty."
Reach us by phone at (425) 439-7672 or submit a service request online. We'll discuss your chimney's history, any symptoms you've noticed, and the service you need. Most Lacey appointments are confirmed within one business day with a firm arrival window so you can plan your day.
Our technician arrives on time, introduces themselves, and conducts a thorough visual and camera-assisted assessment before any work begins. We explain what we find in plain language, show you photos when relevant, and present a clear written estimate. No work starts until you've reviewed and approved the scope.
With your approval, we complete the agreed work using professional-grade tools and code-compliant materials. We protect your floors and furnishings, maintain a clean work environment throughout the job, and adhere strictly to NFPA standards and Washington State building codes. Most standard sweeps and inspections are completed in under two hours.
Before we leave, we walk you through everything we did, present findings, photos, and any recommendations for future maintenance. You receive written documentation of services performed — useful for insurance purposes and home resale. We answer every question you have before we consider the job complete.
You should have your chimney swept at least once per year, ideally before the heating season begins. The NFPA recommends annual inspections and cleaning for all wood-burning fireplaces. Lacey's wet climate accelerates creosote condensation, so frequent users — burning more than three times a week — benefit from twice-yearly service to maintain safe flue conditions.
Yes, David Chimney is fully licensed and carries comprehensive general liability insurance as well as workers' compensation coverage. This protects you as the homeowner from any financial exposure in the unlikely event of property damage or a job-site injury. We're happy to provide proof of insurance before any work begins upon your request.
Yes, we provide free on-site estimates for chimney repairs, liner installations, cap replacements, and other services. Our technician will assess the scope of work, explain findings clearly, and give you a written estimate before any work begins. You are never obligated to proceed, and we never charge a consultation fee for estimates in the Lacey service area.
A Level 1 inspection covers all readily accessible portions of the chimney interior and exterior and is appropriate for routine annual maintenance. A Level 2 inspection includes video scanning of the entire flue interior and is required when selling or purchasing a home, after a chimney fire, or following any significant structural or operational change to the system.
Signs of a failing chimney liner include white staining on exterior masonry, deteriorating tile fragments in the firebox, poor draft performance, and carbon monoxide alarms triggering during appliance use. The definitive answer comes from a Level 2 video inspection. If we identify liner damage, we'll show you the footage and explain your replacement options clearly before recommending next steps.
Yes, gas fireplaces still require annual inspections and periodic cleaning. While gas appliances produce less creosote than wood, they generate moisture, dust, and combustion byproducts that accumulate in the flue and around the burner components. We inspect the venting system, check for blockages, and verify that all connections and safety controls are functioning correctly.
A standard chimney sweep combined with a Level 1 inspection typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes for a single-fireplace home. More complex systems, additional fireplaces, or significant buildup may extend the appointment. We give you a realistic time estimate when scheduling so you can plan accordingly and won't be left waiting around all day.
