"Well enough. Called well before arrival, and again shortly before. Arrived in the designated time slot. They took a picture of the inside of the chimney, and said it needed power cleaning, which would cost another $400. The picture was convincing. Also, I had on one occasion heard the sound of a chimney fire (a sound with which I am familiar) late last season, so I knew there might be burned-on soot. They got the chimney very clean (another photo) and did the job quickly. I do think the additional cost was somewhat excessive, as all that the additional work required was a 1/4 hp electric drill and a different set of rods and brushes. I assume some neglected chimneys require a lot more time, and that the price is determined on the maximum amount of time likely to be required. This is a reasonable practice, but I would appreciate it if they would mention the possibility and cost in advance. While we may hire them again, I will also continue to investigate other contractors for this work."

"Initially I was looking to get some masonry fixed. Rob came by and pointed out the chimney was in very bad shape. There were cracks in the crown and deteriorated mortar. He provided a quote and a thorough explanation of what work would be done, and followed up with pictures once complete. He was accommodating with my scheduling. He was very easy to work with and it turned out great! Thank you!"

"The employee who came was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Made the experience easy and he took the time to explain the needs of my chimney. Though I had planned for only a sweep, it became a larger job as we had issues we were unaware of, cracks, damage, and major creosote build up. Our own fault as this chimney hasn't ever had service done the whole 15 years we've lived here. But now we are all set and hopefully only need annual sweeping for years to come."

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

Depending on the amount of soot present, you can vacuum some of it using a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Then, remove the leftovers with a mild cleaner, such as dish soap or vinegar mixed with water. Before applying a cleaning solution, saturate the bricks with clean water to prevent the cleaner from penetrating beyond the surface and causing structural damage to the bricks.

Yes, a seller is legally required to disclose any known fire damage when selling a house, including damages that were repaired. That includes damages to structural components and all major systems, as well as water damage, chemical damage, and smoke damage related to the fire. Sellers use a property disclosure statement, which is regulated by each state individually, to disclose fire damage.

Yes, mineral spirits are flammable and may spontaneously combust at temperatures of 200 degrees F or more. Storing them in well-ventilated spaces and disposing of them the proper way are the best ways to prevent mineral spirits or anything contaminated with them, like towels and rags, from going up in smoke.

Baking soda is an effective fire reduction method. However, flour and baking powder are very dangerous around flames. Flour is flammable and it can also conduct electricity. The combination can cause serious injury from electrical shock and worsen the situation by adding fuel to the fire. Baking powder is also not an option as it's also highly flammable. 

Repairing a fire-damaged home could cost anywhere from $2,000 to $200,000 or more—it all depends on the extent of the damage and the quality of the materials you use. In most cases, your homeowner’s insurance company will cover the majority of the repairs. If you’re buying a home with fire damage, though, it’s best to get an estimate from a fire damage restoration company to estimate the repairs before closing.
