"My house was built in 1958 and when I bought it other than the home inspection the chimney was never cleaned. So for my peace of mind I started looking into getting it done. I found Chimney Keeper on angie's list and they had great reviews and a deal for angie's list members. I called and booked a time they called the day of and confirmed the appt and asked if they could arrive early which was not a problem. He explained the whole process and one guy got up on the roof to inspect and sweep and the other man came inside and vacuumed and cleaned the fireplace. Thankfully we got a clean bill of health no major issues and now I have piece of mind when we go to use it this year.....if it ever gets cold enough :) Would definitely would recommend and hire again."

"Yes he showed up half an hour early, and was very knowledgeable. And very careful not to get soot all over the place while he was cleaning our fireplace. He repaired the box in the fireplace quickly and efficiently. We also took him to the neighbors and he cleaned their fireplace. Very happy with them I would recommend him again."

"I asked in advance, if the brick inside and outside the fireplace could be cleaned, the man on the phone said ;Yes that they had stuff that would take anything off The workers were early (a good thing), very polite, but had nothing that even put a dent in the stains on the fireplace. It looks just as bad as it did before I hired them. I was extremely disappointed. They merely looked down the chimney from the roof for all I could tell and were done and out in 45 minutes. Misled in hiring."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Robert Douglas and his team were amazing - he had the same vision we had and handled the engineering drawings, permits and safety issues. He and his team were courteous on time and cleaned the site on a daily basis. Project was a complete tear down and rebuild of a deck and adding stairs and gate. I would recommend Robert Douglas Construction in a heart beat."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Yes, masonry fireplaces require an adequately constructed chimney to vent smoke and gases.

Chimney crowns should be at least 2 inches thick at their thinnest point. If the crown is thinner than 2 inches, it’s more likely to be damaged and allow water to seep into the chimney.

A hot fire alone will not remove significant creosote buildup and can be dangerous, as it risks causing a chimney fire. While the warmth from a fire can help loosen stuck tar, making treatments like creosote logs more effective, it is not a substitute for proper cleaning. For existing creosote, the safest and most effective method is to have your chimney professionally cleaned by a chimney sweep.

Signs that your chimney may need to be replaced include visible damage like cracks in the structure, bricks, or mortar, as well as crumbling or flaking mortar and loose bricks. Leaks, dampness, discoloration, and efflorescence (a white, stain-like substance on the bricks) are also key indicators of water damage, which can compromise the chimney's safety. Addressing these problems is essential, as a chimney in this condition may be at risk of collapsing and causing major damage to your home. A full replacement costs about $10,000 on average, but can range from $3,100 to $15,400.

Sap, despite its stickiness, is primarily made of water and is responsible for wood being “green” when it’s first cut. Green wood doesn’t burn very easily and will snap and crackle a lot, not ideal for a fire pit or fireplace. That’s why it’s best to let fresh, sap-filled wood season or dry out for at least a season before you start burning.
