Franklin homeowners can save up to 20% on chimney services by booking during off-peak months, bundling inspections with cleanings, or choosing seasonal specials. Robert Wilson Chimney LLC offers exclusive local discounts that include free estimates, same-day quotes, and loyalty rewards for repeat customers.
1. Off-Peak Season Discounts: Sweep in Spring or Summer to Save
A chimney inspection is a visual and instrumental check of your flue, liner, smoke chamber, and exterior masonry to spot cracks, blockages, or creosote buildup before winter. In Franklin, spring and summer are our slowest months, so we pass the savings to you. Booking a Level 1 inspection with cleaning between April and August can save you 15–20% off our regular price. This timing also lets you address any repairs before the fall rush, when demand peaks and wait times stretch. If you live near the Harpeth River or in the historic downtown district, mention your neighborhood when you call and we’ll apply the discount automatically. Contact us for a free estimate
2. Bundle and Save: Inspection + Cleaning + Cap Check for One Low Price
Many Franklin homeowners don’t realize that a basic chimney cleaning doesn’t always include a full inspection or a check of the chimney cap. A chimney cap is a metal mesh screen that keeps out rain, debris, and animals—critical in our humid Middle Tennessee climate. For just $15 more than a standalone cleaning, we bundle a Level 1 inspection, full sweep, and cap inspection. This package is perfect if you’ve just moved into a home in Berry Hill, Brentwood, or Leiper’s Fork and want a complete safety baseline. We also include a free estimate for any needed repairs so you can budget upfront. See our full services
3. First-Time Homeowner Package: Get Your Chimney Ready Before Winter
Buying a Franklin home built before 1990? Older masonry and unknown prior maintenance can hide risks. Our First-Time Homeowner Package bundles a Level 2 inspection (required when you buy a home), a full cleaning, and a 10-point exterior masonry check for $229—$50 off our regular bundle. We’ll also photograph any issues so you have clear documentation for your insurance or realtor. This package is especially useful for homes in the Franklin Greenbelt area or along Liberty Pike, where older chimneys are common. Learn more about inspections
4. Loyalty Rewards: Repeat Customers Get 10% Off Every Other Year
We treat Franklin customers like family, so we reward loyalty. After your first full service, you’re enrolled in our Loyalty Rewards program. Every second year you call us for a cleaning or inspection, you’ll receive 10% off the service. There’s no sign-up hassle—just mention you’re a repeat customer when you book. This program applies to homes in Nolensville, Thompson’s Station, and Arrington, and stacks with seasonal discounts. We’ll even send you a friendly reminder when your chimney is due, so you never miss a beat. About our team and credentials

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Franklin chimneys need sweeping more often in winter than in summer?
Franklin’s damp winters and frequent wood burning create thick creosote layers faster than in summer. Creosote is a tar-like byproduct that builds up inside flues and can ignite, causing chimney fires. The Chimney Safety Institute of America recommends an annual inspection and cleaning if you burn more than three cords of wood per year.
What’s the difference between a Level 1 and Level 2 chimney inspection in Franklin?
A Level 1 inspection is a visual check of accessible flue interiors and exterior masonry. A Level 2 inspection includes everything in Level 1 plus a video scan of the flue and smoke chamber, required when you buy or sell a home in Franklin. The National Fire Protection Association sets these standards to prevent fires and carbon monoxide risks.
Can I burn pine in my Franklin fireplace without damaging my chimney?
Pine burns hotter and faster than hardwoods, increasing creosote buildup and stressing older masonry in Franklin homes. The EPA’s Burn Wise program recommends seasoned hardwoods like oak or hickory for cleaner burns and less residue. Always use dry wood with less than 20% moisture to reduce chimney wear.
How do I know if my Franklin chimney cap needs replacing before winter?
Look for rust spots, holes, or a cap that’s tilted or missing entirely. A damaged cap lets rain and critters into your flue, accelerating wear on the liner and masonry. If you live near the Natchez Trace or in a historic Franklin neighborhood, winter storms can worsen existing damage quickly.
