The fall rush buries the phone
Everyone wants a sweep before the first cold night. Calls go to voicemail, callbacks take days, and the customer books whoever answered first.

Bookings, inspections, repair estimates, and annual reminders in one place. FieldNexus is chimney sweep software for sweeps and chimney contractors: online booking, inspection checklists, on-site estimates, service agreements, invoicing, and an app that works in the attic. It runs a one-truck shop and a multi-crew company alike.

Where chimney business margins go
The sweep pays the bills. The money is in the fall rush, the repairs you find, and the customers who come back every year.
The repair you found walks away
The sweep turns up a cracked crown or a failing liner. A quote that goes out next week often goes to another contractor, or nowhere.
Annual customers forget you
Last year's sweep customers don't think about the chimney until it's cold. Without a reminder, the repeat booking never happens.
One sweep that becomes a liner job, from booking to paid
A fall sweep that turns up a repair when the booking, the inspection, the estimate, and the invoice all live in one system.

How it works
Chimney business software, built around the sweep and the repair
Replace the paper inspection sheets, the callback list, and the reminder postcards with one system for the office and the trucks.
Inspections done the same way, every chimney
Build inspection checklists to the standard you follow and make the important items and photos required. Techs fill them in on site, and every finding, photo, and signature is saved to the job and the customer's record, ready when the homeowner or a realtor asks.
- Inspection forms built your way, with required fields
- Photos of every finding attached to the form
- Homeowner signature captured on the phone
- Every past inspection searchable on the customer record
Turn the finding into a signed repair before you leave
Build the estimate on site from your saved price lists and show the homeowner options side by side. They sign on their phone and pay the deposit, and the accepted estimate becomes a work order. Estimates that sit unsigned get followed up automatically.
- Good-better-best options on one estimate
- Digital signatures and deposits on the spot
- Accepted estimates become work orders automatically
- Automatic follow-ups on unsigned estimates
A full fall schedule without the phone tag
Online booking fills open slots while you're on a roof, and every crew's day sits on one live board. Drag a job to another crew when the day changes, fit a same-day smoke call into a gap, and let homeowners know when you're on the way.
- Online booking against real open times
- Live board of every crew, job, and status
- Reminders and on-the-way texts that cut no-shows
- A waitlist that fills last-minute cancellations
And the rest of the business, in the same system

Running a commercial or multi-crew operation?
We'll walk through your contracts, sites, and crews, and scope guided setup for your team.

Yearly sweep and inspection agreements book the visits, bill on repeat, and flag renewals before they lapse.
Inspection records clients ask for
Required checklists, photos, and signatures on every visit, stored against the property and searchable when the client asks.
Every appliance on record
Fireplaces, stoves, and inserts saved per unit with make, model, serial, install date, and every sweep and repair.

Up on the roof or down in the basement?
No signal, no problem.
Basements, attics, and old stone farmhouses are where the bars run out. The FieldNexus app keeps working offline, so techs finish the inspection, take the photos, and get the signature. The office catches up the moment they're back in range.
Keep working with no bars
Update job status, complete inspection forms, take photos, and capture signatures without waiting for a signal.
Nothing is lost
Every change is saved on the phone and queued, so a dead zone never means a missing inspection or a second trip.
Syncs on its own
When the phone reconnects, queued work syncs automatically and the office sees it. No one re-types anything.

What is chimney sweep software?
Chimney sweep software runs the business side of a chimney company in one system: online booking, scheduling and dispatch, inspection checklists, repair estimates, recurring sweep agreements, invoicing and payments, and customer records. FieldNexus covers all of these, with a mobile app for techs in the field.
Can customers book chimney sweeps online?
Yes. Embed the FieldNexus booking form on your website with one line of code. Homeowners choose a service and an open time, answer your intake questions about fuel type, appliance, and last sweep, and confirm. You can require a deposit, and the job lands in your schedule instantly.
Can I build chimney inspection checklists?
Yes. Build inspection forms with the drag-and-drop form builder to the standard you follow, assign them to job types, and mark fields and photos as required so a job can't close without them. Completed forms are saved and searchable in the customer's record.
Can techs quote chimney repairs on site?
Yes. Techs build estimates in the app from saved price lists, with good-better-best options on one estimate. Homeowners sign digitally, you can take a deposit on the spot, and the accepted estimate becomes a work order automatically.
How do annual sweep reminders work?
Put repeat customers on a service agreement for a yearly sweep and inspection. The visits are scheduled automatically, billing runs on the schedule you set, and customers get renewal reminders before the agreement expires.
Can I keep a history of each fireplace or stove?
Yes. Save each fireplace, wood stove, or insert to the customer's property with make, model, serial number, install date, and warranty information. Every sweep, inspection, and repair is recorded against it, and a QR code on the appliance pulls up the record.
Does FieldNexus work for property managers and realtors?
Yes. A property manager or commercial client can have many properties under one account, each with its own appliances, contacts, and history. Annual inspections run on agreements, every visit carries the checklist, photos, and signatures, and clients see their records and invoices in a branded portal.
Is there a chimney sweep app for my techs?
Yes. The FieldNexus app is available on iOS and Android. Techs see their day's jobs, fill in inspection forms, take photos, build estimates, capture signatures, collect payment, and clock in and out. It keeps working offline and syncs when the connection returns.
Does FieldNexus work with QuickBooks?
Yes. Invoices and payments sync automatically with QuickBooks and Xero, so your books stay current without double entry.
How much does chimney sweep software cost?
FieldNexus pricing scales with your team size and the features you need, so a one-truck sweep doesn't pay for enterprise tools. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, and a demo is the fastest way to get an exact quote.
How long does it take to get set up?
Most teams schedule their first jobs within a day. If you are moving from spreadsheets or another tool, our team provides import templates and checklists, and larger companies can add guided implementation.
