THE PRECISE
ALTERNATIVE TO
THE GENERIC SWEEP
Chimney, air duct and dryer vent work for residential and commercial properties — scoped against the system in front of us, not sold from a price list.
- Chimney · Air Duct · Dryer Vent
- Residential & Commercial
ONE COMPANY FOR THE THREE SYSTEMS THAT MOVE AIR THROUGH A BUILDING.
SootStag Chimney & Air is a family-owned, certified and insured company working on chimneys, air ducts and dryer vents for residential and commercial properties across Maryland and surrounding areas, backed by more than 12 years of experience. Three systems, one company, one standard of work across all of them.
Most properties do not have a chimney problem or a duct problem in isolation. They have a building, and the three systems inside it interact — a relocated laundry lengthens a vent run, a new insert changes what a flue is being asked to do, a renovation adds duct branches nobody has looked at since. Being across all three is what makes the scope right rather than partial.
The positioning is deliberate: detail-driven service and premium presentation, as the precise, modern alternative to the generic sweep.
- Chimney
- The flue, the firebox and everything between them.
- Air duct
- Supply and return runs, and the equipment they connect to.
- Dryer vent
- The exhaust line from the appliance to its termination.
THE SYSTEM DECIDES THE JOB. NOT A PACKAGE.
A price quoted before anyone has seen the system is a guess with a number attached. What we do instead is look first: the length and shape of the run, how it is reached, what it is made of, and what condition it is in.
That is why two houses on the same street can need genuinely different work. A long vent run with four bends behind a finished basement wall is not the same job as a short straight run through a side wall, and pretending otherwise is how a fixed price becomes an argument on the day.
What comes back is a scope that says what will be done and what it costs, and findings reported as they are — including when the honest answer is that the work does not need doing yet.
WHAT YOU CAN HOLD US TO.
The system is seen before it is priced
Scope and price follow an assessment of the actual run, flue or duct — not a category the property was sorted into over the phone.
One company across all three systems
Chimney, air duct and dryer vent work handled together, so a job that crosses two of them does not become two separate conversations.
Findings reported as they are
Including when nothing needs doing. A recommendation that always says "replace it" is a sales script, not an assessment.
Residential and commercial alike
Single dwellings, multi-unit buildings and commercial installations are all scoped the same way — against the installation actually present.
Written scope before the work
What is included is agreed in writing first, so the job that happens is the job that was quoted.
No standard price, and no guessing
There is no package rate, because there is no standard property. The figure is set against what is in front of us.
EVERY HOME MOVES AIR
THROUGH THREE PATHS.
Each one carries something out of the building — smoke, circulated air, or moisture and lint. Select a system to see where it runs.
The flue and fireplace assembly — sweeping, inspection and removal of soot, creosote and obstructions.
Chimney servicesSupply and return ductwork and the equipment it connects to — cleaning and inspection across the run.

Quick answer
Who is SootStag Chimney & Air?
SootStag Chimney & Air is a family-owned chimney, air duct and dryer vent company working on residential and commercial properties across Maryland and surrounding areas. The three services are handled by one company rather than split across trades, and every job is scoped against the actual system — its length, layout, access and condition — before a price is given. Findings are reported as they are, including when the work does not need doing yet.
ABOUT THE COMPANY.
If your question isn't here, send it with an estimate request and we'll answer it directly.
Chimney work, air duct and furnace cleaning, and dryer vent work — for residential and commercial properties. Every service has its own page describing exactly what that job covers.
Because in a real building they are connected. A relocated laundry lengthens a vent run; a new insert changes what a flue is being asked to do; a renovation adds duct branches nobody has looked at since. Handling all three means the scope covers what is actually happening rather than one trade's share of it.
No, because there is no standard property. The figure follows the system in front of us — its length, layout, access and condition. What you get is a scope and a price for your job rather than a bracket for someone else's.
Six Maryland counties and the places listed inside them, each with its own page. Coverage for a specific address is confirmed on the estimate request rather than assumed from a map.
Yes. Multi-unit buildings and commercial installations are scoped the same way as a single dwelling — against the installation actually present, which in those buildings often means shared runs and access that has to be confirmed first.
You describe the property and what you are noticing, the system is assessed, and the scope and price come back written against what is there. Nothing is committed to before that.
