Family owned and operated. The Boxford Chimney Sweep is fully licensed and insured and guarantees their work. We have been working for major utilities as well as licensed plumbers and contractors since 1995.
"Excellent! We were quoted a much higher price but once we removed the wall and they had access to the area they were going to be working in, we learned that they could use our original pipe that connected our furnace to the chimney. All they needed to do was install the liner and this saved us several hundred dollars! They left the area as clean as it was when they arrived and were very professional throughout the entire process. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and I highly recommend Boxford Chimney Sweep!"

Bob Wolusky chimney and masonry Co. is a full service company. We do all the work. Construction supervisors license. workers comp and liability ins. we accept business and personal checks, cash. We do not accept credit cards.
"Bob was extremely difficult to work with and had no customer service skills whatsoever. He had me pay him site unseen and never provided an invoice or warranty information. During the consultation, I asked him to also re-point the front steps as the railing is loose and he told me he would "throw that in for free". When I asked him to modify the estimate to include this work, he said "not to worry about it". He never did the stairs and was extremely rude when I called to discuss. He said he would come back and fix them "at some point" but it's been 2.5 weeks and nothing (not even a phone call). I honestly don't even know if the work that was done was good as he never walked me through the finished product and I have no idea what a chimney system is supposed to look like. I am extremely disappointed in the service I received."

"Repeat customer who has been mistreated. Scheduled a pellet stove service appointment and had to wait a couple of months. The pellet stove was installed a few year prior by Armstrong. Stove was fully functional when tech arrived and when work was wrapped up the stove didn’t work. Tech on his way out mentioned the office would reach out to me with next steps. Dealing with single digits temperatures out door any little thing helps and now have a broken stove that doesn’t work. Two days later I hadn’t heard from their office so I sent an email inquiring what the next steps were. The admin responded stating the operations manager had our paperwork on his desk and that I am on the list. A day after that I decided to call for some information and admin gave me more of the same stating “work order is on my bosses desk, he will get back to you in a couple of days”. After persistence on my part I decided to track down the ops manager and he gave me a long story on why they weren’t communicating and basically stated again I wasn’t top priority. As a customer you shouldn’t feel like you are bothering a business that you just spent a ton of money on to get something fixed that now doesn’t work. Armstrong years ago was different and today my experience is very sour. Maybe too much business has impacted their customer service? Maybe new employee vetting is the issue? Maybe it’s the management? It’s sad to see customer service like this. Please beware.. you will reach out for help and you may or may not get it. Pay quoted money now but you’ll be back burnered the moment something else comes along."

FAQs for chimney sweeping projects in Boston, MA
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.
