The Ranking

Our top 5 chimney companies in Toronto

Toronto has a lot of older brick housing, from east end semis to west end heritage homes, and chimneys on those houses tend to need attention sooner than owners expect. Ontario has no provincial chimney licence, so the checks fall to you. For sweeps, inspections and wood stove or fireplace work, ask whether the technician holds WETT certification. For brick, crown and cap repair, ask about WSIB coverage and liability insurance, and ask for a written quote that names the scope. This list covers one sweep and inspection company and four masonry firms, and the notes on each profile say which kind of work it actually lists. Two of the firms, Wilkens Masonry and Otto's Masonry, appear to share a family history, so treat them as related when you compare quotes.

Methodology

How we chose the best chimney companies in Toronto

This list follows Google's order for chimney searches in Toronto, read on October 22, 2026. Every company needed an operational Google listing, a rating of 4.5 or higher, at least 50 reviews, a working website and a staffed street address in the city. Doorway sites, mailbox addresses and listings with a different primary trade were left out. Company credentials are reported from their own sites and have not been independently verified.

Hiring

How to choose a chimney company in Toronto

  1. Ask for a certified sweep

    In the US look for CSIA certification, and in Canada for WETT. Ask for the certificate number and check it.

  2. Know what the inspection level means

    A Level 1 inspection is a visual check. Level 2 uses a camera and is needed after a sale, a chimney fire or a change of appliance.

  3. Ask to see the problem

    A reputable sweep will show you photos or video of any damage before recommending a repair.

  4. Get repairs quoted separately

    Sweeping and repairs should be priced separately, in writing.

  5. Get a second opinion on big repairs

    A relining or rebuild is a large cost. A second inspection is worth it before you agree.

  6. Book outside the rush

    Late spring and summer are quieter, and cheaper to book, than the weeks before winter.

Questions to ask before hiring

0 of 8 asked

Red flags

  • A cheap sweep that turns into an urgent, expensive repair
  • Refusal to show photos of the damage
  • No certification number
  • Pressure to agree to a relining on the same visit
  • Cold calls or flyers offering a very cheap inspection

FAQ

Chimney companies in Toronto FAQs

How much does chimney repair cost in Toronto?

It depends on the job, and most companies here quote after a site visit. A sweep or inspection is usually a modest fee, while crown repair, repointing and partial rebuilds climb with roof height and access. Narrow lots and tall brick chimneys on older semis can add scaffolding costs. Ask for a written quote that names the scope, the brick matching and the clean-up.

Does a chimney sweep in Ontario need a licence?

Ontario has no provincial chimney sweep licence. The usual mark of a qualified sweep or inspector is WETT certification, which covers wood burning appliances and venting. For masonry work, ask about WSIB coverage and liability insurance. Credentials on this list come from each company's own site, so ask to see proof before work starts.

Should I hire a chimney sweep or a mason?

Hire a sweep when you need cleaning, an inspection or liner advice, and a mason when bricks, mortar, the crown or the cap are failing. Look for crumbling mortar, white staining, loose bricks or water stains near the ceiling. Several companies here are masonry firms, so confirm that chimney work is something they do often and not an occasional add-on.
