Golden Valley homeowners trust Sunset Chimney Inc to cut through the smoke and mirrors in the chimney sweep game. We don’t sell fear, we sell facts—starting with the hard truth that most chimney problems aren’t visible until they’re expensive. Our crews arrive with laser-focused checklists, not sales scripts, because a clean chimney shouldn’t require a second opinion. We specialize in Golden Valley’s older brick homes where decades of soot and Minnesota winters conspire to hide hidden damage behind the flue. No upsells, no scare tactics—just a practical pro who shows up, does the job right, and leaves the flue cleaner than you’ll find it anywhere else in the Twin Cities.
Most homeowners don’t realize how hard Golden Valley’s winters hit their chimneys. Every freeze-thaw cycle expands cracks in the masonry, letting water in and creosote build up. We see it every year: chimneys that looked fine in summer fail by December. Regular inspections and repairs aren’t optional—they’re preventative maintenance.
Golden Valley’s humid air makes creosote stick to flues like glue. A 1/8-inch layer is all it takes for a chimney fire to start. We remove it completely, not just ‘scrape the worst parts.’ Our vacuums catch the dust before it settles in your living room. No shortcuts, no half-measures.
Golden Valley has plenty of ‘handymen’ offering chimney work, but only licensed pros know the code. We carry $2M liability insurance and follow NFPA 211 standards. If something goes wrong, you’re covered. Don’t gamble with a fly-by-night operator—ask for proof before you hire.
Golden Valley’s energy costs are high enough without your fireplace working against you. A clogged flue forces your furnace to work harder, costing you $200+ a year in wasted heat. We clean and tune your system so it runs efficiently. It’s a one-time fix with long-term payoff.
"Sunset cleaned my chimney last week—no mess, no fuss. They spotted a crack I didn’t know about and fixed it on the spot. Saved me a fortune in potential repairs."
"Called for an emergency leak during a storm. They were here in 45 minutes, fixed it, and dealt with my insurance. No other company would even try."
"Their inspection caught a blocked flue I didn’t know was there. Fixed it before I could even light a fire. Honest, fast, and no upsells."
"I’ve used them twice now. They’re the only sweep who actually explains what they’re doing—and why. No vague answers, just facts."
"Great work on my historic fireplace. They restored the brick and mortar without making it look ‘new.’ Respect for the original craftsmanship."
"They showed up on time, cleaned up better than they found it, and even gave me tips to improve my fireplace’s efficiency. Worth every penny."
Call (612) 493-2881 or book online. We’ll confirm your address, ask about your system, and give you a firm price upfront. No pressure, no ‘consultations’—just a clear estimate. Golden Valley homeowners get same-day slots when available.
Our team shows up when we say we will—no ‘running late’ excuses. We wear shoe covers, use drop cloths, and clean up after ourselves. You’ll see us working, not chatting. Golden Valley’s weather is unpredictable; we respect your time.
If we miss a spot or leave a mess, we’ll come back immediately. No arguments, no ‘next time’ promises. Our 100% satisfaction guarantee means your chimney is clean, safe, and ready to use. We warranty our work for 5 years.
We’ll email you a post-service report with photos, recommendations, and a reminder for next year. Golden Valley’s climate means you should inspect every 12 months. We’ll even text you a year later to check in. No spam, just service.
