I've been putting off having the chimneys cleaned because the last company back in 2004 left my house in a mess with soot everywhere! I had just cleaned the house and here I was having to clean all over again. I chose this company from the reports that I had read and I found them VERY professional. Danny arrived and did a phenomenal job. I mentioned that I was leery of having soot flying all over and he taped up the fireplaces really well with drape and went up on the roof and cleaned them out from up above. He also noticed an issue with the upstairs chimney and wrote it on our invoice and said the owner would contact me and come out to view it for himself and whether they would be able to fix it. Mr. Jutus called back and checked it out. Unfortunately, we will need a contractor and he mentioned one that deals with chimneys. I would use and will use this company again in the future.
Description of Work: Cleaned the downstairs and upstairs chimneys in our home.

I have used this company for the past 6 years to clean and inspect my fireplace. The consummate professionals, always on time, extremely meticulous (leaves their work area cleaner than when they arrived). I also like that regardless of who they send out - they always know what has been done in years previous. I also like and appreciate the fact they do not try to pressure you into buying other services. If warranted, they will make recommendations, provide an estimate and allow you to make a decision at your own pace.
Description of Work: Annual chimney cleaning and inspection.

They were very polite, professional and did a nice job cleaning up when they were finished. I thought that the fireplace and dryer were in good working order when they were done. They were easy to schedule service with and I would gladly recommend them to others.
Description of Work: We had them come out twice. Once to clean the chimney and the other to clean our dryer vent. The first charge was $109 for the chimney cleaning and the price for cleaning the dryer vent was a $100.

He told me that at some point the main fireplace burned some pine or redwood and left some heavy soot as a result. He cleaned that and asked me what we burned during the winter and I told him bay, oak, and almond which he said were perfectly fine woods to burn; but to never burn any softwoods like had been done before. He also told us that he had been to our house when the previous owners had been there (he remembered the house and the huge redwood that sits through our front deck) and told us to cut back the deck around the redwood because it was lifting up the deck and would destroy it if we didn't give the redwood some more space. He said he told the previous owners that also; but obviously, they didn't listen. After he left, I looked at the deck and the redwood and he was right! So, now this is a new chore on the "honey do" list.
Description of Work: He cleaned 2 chimneys and inspected 1. He arrived on time, the work was done quickly and he cleaned up afterwards. My fireplaces have never been so clean.

The roof on my house is very steep. He was not able to get on top to clean it completely. He was very honest about this problem though and he only charged me half price because of this. He cleaned it the best he could. I was pleased with him. I have had that problem before with other chimney sweeping companies.

The employee was very knowledgeable of the job and did the job quite well. The only thing was that he was somewhat socially inept in that, his conversations did not relate to the job at hand. I hired him specifically to clean and inspect my chimney, rather than making conversation.
Description of Work: In 2 hours, Chimney Clean inspected and cleaned my chimney using a sweeping method. They cleaned up the debris, at the completion of the job.

I am going to have them return on an on-going basis because we use our fireplace a lot. I thought that their price was very reasonable and they showed up on time as well. Overall I thought that they did a really good job.
Description of Work: They cleaned my chimney with a vacuum hose that had a wire brush attached to it. They laid a plastic tarp down so that the mess was easy to clean up.

Josh showed up right on time and proceeded to get to work. He pulled out the dryer and started vacuuming and sweeping the ducting. Unfortunately, the access to the exhaust vent is right behind 2 cacti but Josh had a board that he braced between the vent and the cacti and he was able to gain access. He checked to make sure that heat was venting out of the dryer before he left. The whole job was complete in 30 minutes. I am very happy with every aspect of this job. Very clean and very fast.
Description of Work: I had my dryer duct cleaned this morning by Josh from Chimney Clean Company. He vacuumed and swept out the ducting from the dryer in the garage to the exhaust vent on the other side of the house. He hooked up the dryer and checked to make sure the vent was cleared and it was.

My husband loves the guy who did the chimney work. He is very funny and knowledgeable. He explained all the details about what he was doing to my husband. He invited my husband to get on the roof and showed him how he preformed his works. My husband learned a lot from him. We'll definitely use this company again!

Employee was 1/2 hour early; which was okay since we were there. They spread a drop cloth down to catch what ever came out of the fireplace. Explained process, identified fire hazard because chimney was not attached to house. Left house clean.
Description of Work: Inspected fireplace. Identified problems in our chimney (it had become unattached to house). We were told we could have the chimney re-attached but decided to wait till next year. Needless to say we are not having any fires in the fireplace at this time until it is repaired.

Josh arrived on time. Very professional attitude. Asked questions to determine history and my concerns regarding a recent chimney fire. He was careful to drape all areas to be cleaned in order to contain any debris from the fireplace cleaning. He fully inspected the chimney from the firebox as well as from the rooftop. The chimney did not require cleaning, but he cleaned the damper area and firebox. He made sure to clean up after himself and left no trace of debris. He offered preventive maintenance tips. Very positive experience. I would not hesitate to hire and recommend this company to others.
Description of Work: Technician, Josh, inspected chimney pipe, spark arrester, and rain collar. Cleaned firebox and damper. Inspected for damage from a chimney fire. No damage found.

Great, very clean, very informative. I knew that additional work was required (from house inspection report). He used pictures to show what work had to be done and the finished result.
We recently moved into the house and wanted it examined and swept before using. Although we paid for the fact that this was a two-story building (the second floor being higher), they were not able to examine the chimney on top and report on the state. The sweeper did not have a tall enough ladder. While the person whom I talked to warned about the possibility, I thought they would come back and deal with the top. No followup to do so. We will insist in the future before using them again. Otherwise, did a good job from the inside.
Description of Work: Checked out the fireplace, tested the gas main, examined state of the interior of the fireplace. Swept up the chimney as far as could be reached from the unit.

I am very pleased! I chose them specifically because of all the positive ratings on here and they did a terrific job. My only "complaint" is that the technician arrived about 1/2 an hour early. Since the appointment was first thing in the morning, I wasn't quite dressed and ready for him. However, I'd much rather have him be early than late!
Description of Work: They came to our house and cleaned the chimney.
