"This company did a great job. They wound up having to replace the cap on the chimney..So that meant I knew I would owe some additional money for its replacement.We made an appointment get it replaced they did so but presented us with a bill more than double what we were quoted..So I thought that the bill for the final trip was very heavy handed."

"It is a decent system but nothing much different than the other companies offer. Cost of service per moth is below. They were highly rated at the time but see that their rating has dropped."

"removed leaves from roof and checked gutters.  They originally provided the service on Nov. 8, 2013 but I did not know they were providing the service on that date.  I called to set up service date on Nov.12, 2013 and even though the service had been provided the crew came back on Nov. 15th to be sure the gutters were functioning properly.  I will definitely use this service again."

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

The first thing you should do when cleaning smoke damage is open all your windows to ventilate the affected area and run an air purifier with a HEPA filter. Cover your furniture and belongings to prevent soot accumulation, and vacuum any soot that’s on the floor and other surfaces. Be sure to wear a mask, gloves, and eye protection when cleaning the affected area.

Homeowners insurance does not cover DIY mistakes, so tread lightly if you plan to tackle your own home repairs or renovations. If you cause damage to your home while attempting repairs or renovations yourself, the cost of fixing the damage is often considered your responsibility. Most policies only cover damage caused by covered perils like fire, theft, or weather—not by homeowner errors.

Professionals remove soot, restore structural integrity, and eliminate smoke odors safely.

Costs depend on the extent of damage, material restoration, labor, and emergency service requirements.

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.
