They arrived at the scheduled time, did the work as proposed and for the quoted fee. I could not personally inspect the work on top of the chimney, but I have no reason to believe it was not done well. They were a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end. I'd recommend them to a friend.

I'm a homeowner of an older house in Arlington Heights, IL. We hadn't used our fireplace in some time and wanted Jiminy Chimney to come out and take a look at it. My husband and I just thought it needed a good cleaning, but wasn't sure if it needed more work. Regan, the girl in the office,...

They built the chimney on Wednesday, August 25. They came back on Saturday, August 29 and did the liner. They had to re-route the heating ducts leading from the furnace to be able to make the tie-ins to the chimney. This caused them to take linger than they anticipated to get the job done. I...

We have used Douglas Chimney several times and have been pleased with their service. They have come within a week of our call. When cleaning the chimney from the indoors area, they cover the floor and are careful to clean up after they are done. The service man emptied the gutters and again...

Fire It Up Chimney Services
Choosing our company brings you the best of both worlds. We are a small family owned business with just as much experience as the big companies. Our technicians have over 30 years experience each and are also masons. Since we are a family owned business, we aren't just putting in our time at work, we put in our all every time. Don't forget about our no mess guarantee! What to expect with us: One of the first things we do before we start is put down a drop cloth to keep your home clean. After we've thoroughly cleaned and inspected the inside of your fireplace, we then check out the condition of the outside of the chimney. If we find anything wrong while we are on the roof, we will take pictures to show you. We will then go over a estimate with you to decide whether you'd like to proceed with the recommended repairs. Most repairs can be made the same day unless we need to special order some parts. Our customers say that we are courteous, prompt, fair, thorough and clean!
"Rob and his crew did a great job.. outside tuck pointing, crack repair, new damper, holes filled. Inside new mortar, smoke chamber fire proofed, new ceramic logs, silica, gas line. Showed us how to operate the new damper and light the fireplace. Perfect job. "

"Ken, who owns this business, has a lot of integrity. I hired him initially to mortar and Tuckpoint my chimney and the brick on the front of my home. I had a bit of water leakage in my basement and felt it was because of the missing mortar (now, no leaks). Not only did he do an excellent job on that (matching color and style), but he found defects with the way my recent HVAC had been installed and mortared the open clay flue to the furnace. He installed a liner into my furnace flue for a very reasonable price and stuck to that price for stainless steel, even though he ran into obstructions that caused him to have to open up the brick wall, in the basement behind the fp, to chip out the flue obstructions. He then closed the wall, and rebricked and mortared it, matching the original brick. He tied that furnace and hot water heater into the new ss lined flue. It's much safer! When I could see how well he works with brick, I tested his skills on cement, and he took my front cement porch, drilled out imperfections, filled cracks and built me a step to the front porch that had become a big step up. He also built me a cement step into the house from the garage (wooden step was decaying) and an additional step on a side door small stoop that had sunk. Not having to replace this cement work saved me thousands in cost. Ken also filled a significant opening into my garage from the outside connected to cement failure on a side floor/bottom of wall on both the outside and inside. He is incredibly dedicated to getting the job done in a way that satisfies the customer. Ken is rare in that he treats your home as if it's his and tries to give 120% to make it safe from carbon monoxide leaks and leakproof from water. It's not that common to find high integrity and low cost in the trades. I found him secretly mortaring a bottom side to my chimney, under the dirt, with black mortar, because he found a small opening left by the original builder. WOW."

FAQs for chimney sweeping projects in Forest Park, IL
While it’s possible to sweep your own chimney, it’s usually not a good idea for two reasons. First, inexperienced DIYers are more likely to miss areas of the chimney, which still leaves the risk of house fire due to the remaining residue. Second, chimney sweeping seems like a simple process, but it’s highly dangerous. Soot and creosote are both carcinogenic and can cause breathing issues and lung damage. If you don’t take the same safety precautions that professionals do, you could be putting yourself at risk of serious bodily harm.
You should plan to ask your chimney sweeper questions about the cleaning process they intend to use, the project timeline, and more to get a sense of which professional is right for the job:
What is your process for cleaning chimneys?
How long will the process take?
Will you protect my floors from soot and debris?
Will you do a chimney inspection, too?
Do you have certification from the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) or the National Fire Institute (NFI)?
Will you need access to my roof?
The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.
In some cases, you don’t need to do anything to prepare for chimney sweeping, but professionals always appreciate leaving the area clean and easy to access. As such, it’s a good idea to move fireplace accessories like screens and fire tending tools out of the way, and lay down tarps of drop cloths around your fireplace opening to help keep your floors clean. Laying down a plastic sheet under those cloths or tarps is a good idea if your fireplace is surrounded by carpeting, just to add extra protection. Finally, secure any pets or children away from the work area.
The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
