Installed new damper without any issues (works great!). Cleaned and inspected fireplace and chimney. Also, checked dryer vent. Very knowledgeable and performed great work. Definitely would hire again.

Great. They were a bit more expensive than other quotes I received, but they were available on short notice. They arrived right on time and did the work efficiently and cleanly. Inspecting my chimney in the attic found no problems, but the tech noticed another leak by a plumbing vent that was coming from the roof! That was a new roof, so I was able to call the roofers and get it fixed before my bedroom ceiling was damaged. Very grateful for the sharp eyes in the attic!!

We had a cracked back panel on our fireplace. Mr. Ronald came out, on time, took the measurements and said he would call in about one week once he had the panel ready. He called and worked with me on a good time to come install it.  He even talked to me about other projects we had going on and was very helpful. Nice, honest, dependable!

His office called us the day before service to remind us about the appointment time.  I appreciated the call.  He showed up promptly at 8 am.  The fireplace had a gas firelog setup and I wanted to change to a wood burning fireplace.  He removed the gas firelog setup.  After cleaning the interior of the fireplace, he inspected the outside of the chimney.  He explained some small projects on the fireplace that I could do, such as mortar some of the firebox and clean and seal the chimney.  He explained that the firebox is in good condition and advised me what to look for that would indicate the firebox needs to be replaced.  He did a GREAT job!!!

The service was scheduled in a timely manner. The technician called to check if he could come came earlier than the scheduled time (due to a service call cancellation). He welcomed me to observe his performance of the tasks. He was very professional and friendly and we had a nice conversation while he was working. I would certainly use the same provider on any future repairs or service on my chimney.

Service was great.  They gave me great advice of how to take care of my fireplace and some good general rules.

I had a problem with a leaking chimney.  I had several contractors attempt to fix the problem without success.  Basic Chimney Sweep is anything but basic.  He identified and fixed the leak.  It took him a while to get to the work, but that is because he is in demand--He knows what he is doing.  Turn to Basic Chimney Sweep first.


I have since purchased another home and plan to contact him for some wok on my new (but old) chimneys.

It was a GREAT experience - he did a great job - I think my house was cleaner after he left than before he arrived!

Chimney was cleaned in October. Vacuums, exhaust, and tarps were installed to capture soot. Very good work. I was pleased with professionalism.
An entire system inspection was made. The internal firebox was missing mortar due to water damage. The cost estimate was $3,000 which was about $1,2000 lesss than second estimate.
The repairs could not be made immediately. The work was scheduled about 2-months in advance. The reapirs took four-8 hour days.
I have no complaints or criticism of the 4-day work.
We had a small problem with the dampner affter work completion. This was promptly fixed after a single phone call.
All work was professional, courtsious, prompt. My highest recommendations.

The cleaning went very smooth with great results. He had all the equipment needed and took precautions preventing any mess in the house. He explained different ways for me to prevent smoke from flowing into the house, a problem I have been struggling with. I also had complained that I had to replace my burner nearly every year. He sold me a robust cast iron burner that has now lasted three seasons and still performs like it was new!
