"Excellent. I had an appointment scheduled on a Saturday after only calling one day prior. The technician was truly friendly and knowledgeable (I learned quite a bit about chimneys and dryer vents and some of the issues that can arise) and talked with me quite a bit as he worked. Our dryer vent was quite restricted and he recommended - but did not push - a thermal wrap to minimize condensation inside the pipe. After the chimney sweep, the tech. gave me some recommendations for issues to keep an eye on and took pictures of the exterior of the chimney. I have to admit I am truly impressed and we will be calling Sixpenny for all of our future chimney and dryer needs."

"Richard Thomas and his team with Chimney Discounters is a great company! Our 35+ year old chimney was showing its age with broken bricks falling from the top. Luckily the damage hadn't gotten too bad, and Richard was able to repair the broken brick, lay a new cement crown, scrape and remove algae build up, placed a new rain/animal guard, and sprayed the chimney with water repellant. All the debris was removed from our yard and driveway when they completed the work. Richard is extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with! Hopefully we won't need anymore repairs, but we know who to call if we do. We fully recommend Chimney Discounters!!"

"It was easy to set up an appointment with a quick phone call. The service technician (Stefan) called to let me know he'd be a few minutes late, which was much appreciated. He arrived and quickly got to work examining my misbehaving fireplaces, offering great advice about the damper, what to burn, how to perform simple cleaning tasks myself, etc. He went up on the roof to inspect the chimney, and was very thorough examining my two fireplaces. Fortunately, nothing major was required in the way of repairs, but I feel confident in calling on them again if I have further issues in the future."

"Hired him to clean our chimney, for a wood-burning fireplace insert with chimney liner. We also needed several fire bricks replaced, which he did. Also needed adjustment of the firebox door, which had become a bit loose. He did all the above to our satisfaction, and our chimney draws much better now. We're very happy with his work."

"I was contacted the same day I submitted my inquiry and had a scheduled appointment with in 24 hours. Finest Chimney contacted me 25 minutes before they arrived and they were exactly on time. Cleaning took about 20 minutes and they were very thorough and professional. They even gave me some feed back about future roof/chimney repairs. I will definitely call Finest Chimney Sweep for our future needs."

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

Yes, a bowl of vinegar can absorb smoke. If you want to use this method to reduce the smoke smell in your house, all you have to do is leave a bowl (or multiple bowls) of white vinegar out overnight. Alternatively, you can use bowls of baking soda, coffee grounds, or activated charcoal.

The timeline for fire damage restoration varies significantly, from a day or two to over a year, depending on the extent of the damage. For minor incidents like a small cooking fire, cleaning up soot and removing smoke odors may only take a day or two. Repairing minor damage might take about one to two weeks. However, a major fire requiring structural repairs, full property renovation, and replacement of materials can take anywhere from six to 12 months to over a year. This longer timeline often includes waiting for insurance approvals and contractor scheduling. It's best to consult with your insurance provider and restoration team to get an accurate timeline for your specific situation.

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. 

The timeline for smoke damage remediation can range from a single day to several months, depending on the extent of the damage, the size of the affected area, and the methods used. For minor damage, such as removing cigarette smoke odors from a single room, the process might take only one to two days and typically involves deep cleaning, painting, and sealing walls. Some methods, like ozone treatments, can take 24 to 48 hours, though multiple treatments may be necessary. More extensive smoke damage, such as from a house fire, can take three weeks or longer to clean and treat. If significant material restoration or replacement is needed, the timeline can extend to six to 12 months. A smoke damage restoration professional can provide a more accurate estimate for your specific situation.

Smoke can be tricky to remove from your home, especially after a fire. The best way to eliminate the smell is to open the windows to increase ventilation and air circulation in your house. Then, use white vinegar to wipe down walls, furniture, and floors. Try steam-cleaning carpet and other upholstered items to remove the smell of smoke.
