At the crossroads of Chester County is Exton, PA – a regular part of Ace Chimney Sweeps’ chimney service route. We head up from Elkton, MD on a regular basis for everything from chimney inspections to restoring damaged masonry.
As with a lot of Chester County towns, Exton gives our technicians the opportunity to flex the breadth of their skills, with chimneys that were built decades ago right down the way from newer homes with brand new factory-built fireplaces and chimneys. We’re equipped for the job too – our technicians are trained extensively and certified. We have just as steady a hand resurfacing the smoke chamber on a historic chimney as we do adding a new chimney cap to a brand new system.
What Fireplace Repair & Chimney Sweep Services Do We Offer?
If you live in Exton, West Chester, Downingtown, Malvern, Chester Springs, Lionville, King of Prussia, Phoenixville, Paoli, or somewhere else nearby, and have a fireplace or stove and chimney system that needs attention and care, Ace Chimney Sweeps can do the job. We’re proud to serve Exton residents, and we guarantee that you’ll be happy with our work and our service.

How Often Should I Have My Chimney Swept if I Use it Year Round?
Many know the rule of thumb for scheduling chimney sweepings and inspections: Whether you use it or not, and no matter what fuel you burn, you should have your chimney inspected and swept at least once a year.
But if you use your chimney and fireplace (or stove) all throughout the year, should that number go up? In most cases, yes.
If you’re enjoying your fireplace or stove through all four seasons, you’re adding more creosote, soot, and debris to your chimney system. These byproducts of combustion can collect quickly, especially if you’re burning wood, and even gas appliances can leave behind corrosive residues. Your system will also face more wear, increasing the likelihood of damage and broken down parts.
All in all, the more frequently you use your fireplace, the more opportunities there are for creosote buildup (a leading cause of chimney fires), blockages from organic materials and animals, moisture issues, and deterioration.
Because of this, it’s best to play it safe and schedule at least two sweepings per year. From there, you can create a more customized plan with your sweep, booking fewer inspections if they say that’s fine or upping to three per year if there are lots of issues.
Think of it this way: Just like a car driven 1,000 miles per year doesn’t need the same maintenance as one driven 20,000 miles per year, a fireplace or stove used year-round deserves more than the standard once-a-year service.

Exton, Pennsylvania is a small, but charming community in Chester County, about 30 miles west of the big city of Philadelphia. While it may not be a major tourist destination, Exton is known for its family-friendly atmosphere, easy access to nice nature spots, and its convenient location along major highways, like U.S. Route 30 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Clearly, it’d be easy to hop on over to a bigger city or visit the nearby Marsh Creek State Park (just a short drive away), but there’s also plenty to do around town if you want to keep your day local. Things like:
- Make a visit to Exton Square Mall.
- Catch a flick and some food at Movie Tavern Exton.
- Walk the Chester Valley Trail.
- Shop Main Street at Exton.
- See the offerings at Chester County Library.
Or, if it’s cold or rainy, just stay home, put up your feet, and enjoy your fireplace, knowing it was inspected and repaired by the best team around (that’s us).
