"The cleaning guy came and started cleaning using his Wire chimney brush by hand. Initially I asked him how come he was not covering the fireplace opening to prevent the dusts from coming inside the room. He assured me that his vacuum and drop cloths would be enough. Later I found out that the reason he didn't feel the need to cover the fireplace opening was because, he wasn't using any power tools to remove creosote collected in the walls although I mentioned to him that my chimney was not cleaned professionally for last 6 years since we bought the house but we did use the fireplace every winter. His simple answer was he doesn't like to use power tools and other techs in his company uses them and that is how he cleans the chimneys. So, I told him I watched at least 8-10 YouTube videos before I called his company and the said I shouldn't argue with him just looking at the YouTube videos because we hired him and he is the professional. He was rude and didn't have any sense of customer service. I just felt that he saw this job as another $ amount instead of a job he needs to perform well. I need to get some repair work done on my chimney as well. I do not feel comfortable hiring them to perform the service as I feel they will try to find short cut route from my today's experience. Update: Six Penny called me later after they saw my initial review and asked me very unprofessionally and offensively why I wrote the review."

About Me Hi, I’m Heather! I’ve been a professional cleaner for over 10 years, and I truly love what I do. Cleaning isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I take pride in. I find it therapeutic and rewarding to transform a space and leave it fresh, organized, and welcoming. My clients appreciate my reliability, attention to detail, and the care I put into every home I clean. I treat every space as if it were my own, and I always aim to go above and beyond expectations. Whether it’s a deep clean or regular upkeep, I believe a clean home brings peace of mind. Fun Fact: I actually find cleaning relaxing! There’s something satisfying about seeing instant results and knowing I’ve helped make someone’s day a little easier.

"Scammers!! Asked for a chimney sweep and the employee did nothing, recommended we get a new fireplace and said he could not do anything because he did not have a manual for our chimney. I wasnt home at the time so I called the owner of the company asking why I paid for NOTHING. Said the employee would return my call and never did. I was also told the employee did not have a ladder so not sure how they were going to clean my chimney."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Consider an annual inspection conducted by a local plumber to prevent dangerous and destructive leaks. If you recently moved into an older home or are concerned about the age of your gas lines, call an inspector for a closer look. You may also be required to call an inspector after your contractor installs a new line for an appliance.

When you notice any of these signs in your mobile home, it’s time to call a professional to relevel your home:

  • Doors and windows are difficult to open and close

  • Creaking sounds in the house

  • Water is running off tables onto the floor

  • Unusual cracks

  • The skirting or siding of your house looks like it’s buckled under pressure

  • The exterior of the home looks tilted

If your home has a forced-air HVAC system, it will also have HVAC duct parts. Air ducts are connected to an HVAC unit and deliver heated or cooled air to each room; your heating and AC wouldn’t work without ductwork.

However, if your house has a boiler or radiator system for heating and doesn’t have central AC, you probably don’t have ductwork installed.

A standard roof inspection usually takes anywhere from 45 minutes to a few hours , depending on the roof's size, complexity, and condition. Make sure you allow enough time for a thorough inspection by asking for a time estimate when you hire your inspector.

A home inspection costs around $350, but prices can fall anywhere between $190 and $510, depending on the size of the home, the location, the inspector you choose, and the quality and depth of the inspection you need. In most cases, buyers pay for the home inspection , so you typically won’t need to worry about the cost if you’re a seller. Home inspections may seem unnecessary, but they can save you thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs, so they’re always worthwhile.
