Barnhill Chimney Company
Lexington, KY
There are 5 chimney sweeps covering Lexington, Kentucky, averaging 4.7 stars across their Google reviews.
Kentucky's moderate-climate winters mean a typical mixed-use fireplace hits roughly 40-60 burns per season. That translates to a recommended sweep once a year before the first hard freeze for most Lexington homeowners.
A standard single-flue sweep in Kentucky typically runs $175-$275 from a legitimate operator. Quotes well below that band should trigger a scam-checker lookup; quotes well above should trigger a second opinion. Level 2 inspections — the camera pass required after a chimney fire, a property sale, or a fuel-type change — run $300-$450 in KY.
Failure to clean chimneys is the #1 cause of U.S. home heating fires per NFPA reporting. Annual inspection is the baseline standard under NFPA 211 — not a premium service.
