Gary's housing runs from lakefront homes in Miller Beach, next to the Indiana Dunes, to the older brick neighborhoods further inland — many of them built in the first half of the 1900s. Near the lake, wind and moisture are hard on everything at the top of a chimney; inland, age and freeze-thaw take their toll on mortar and crowns.
Whichever part of Gary you're in, the job starts the same way: we inspect, photograph what we find — inside the flue and on the roof — and give you a flat price before any work begins.

Gary questions
Who does chimney sweeps near me in Gary, Indiana?
NWI Chimney sweeps chimneys throughout Gary and Lake County. It's $249 flat, including a 21-point safety inspection with before-and-after photos, for wood or gas flues.
Do you work in Miller Beach?
Yes. Lakefront homes there see more wind-driven rain and moisture, so we pay extra attention to caps, crowns and flashing. A stainless cap for a single flue runs $250 to $400 installed.
How much does chimney repair cost in Gary?
It depends on what's wrong, and estimates are free: repointing typically runs $250 to $550 per section, flashing repair $300 to $600, crown sealing $250 to $450. You get the photos and the flat price before we start.
Is it safe to use a fireplace that hasn't been used in years?
Not until it's inspected. Old flues often have blockages, animal nests, cracked tiles or loose bricks. A free Level 1 inspection with a photo report tells you whether it's safe to light.
Can you come out quickly?
Routine visits are usually booked the same week; smoke in the house or a gas smell is prioritized, often the same day.
Will the sweep make a mess?
No — drop cloths from door to hearth, the fireplace opening sealed, and a HEPA-filtered vacuum running for the whole job.
