Chesapeake Chimney Sweeps

Entire process was done in a professional, efficient manner. Inspection and suggestions were made as to what needed to be done to ensure maximum efficiency of both stoves. Both Neil and his assistant were very respectful and courteous. Also they were very careful to spread drop cloth.

As usual, Chesapeake Chimney Sweeps (not to be confused with another company who sounds very much like it) did a great job. Mr. Crandall, who did the job along with an assistant, told me it was good to go for another 2 years, which is something you don't usually hear. Very personable and explained a lot about my chimney to me. I have used this company several times and always been pleased. And love Mr. Crandall's feathered hat.

Neil Crandall and his son are very thorough and meticulous in their work.  Neil has over 25 years of experience and is very knowledgeable and capable.  When cleaning our chimney and stove, he was very thorough and provided feedback on how he found the condition of the creosote buildup and suggestions on how to reduce it.  They left our home immaculate on each visit.
II had been wanting to install a chimney liner for some time because the flue was 12" X 12" ,designed for a fireplace and we use a wood stove insert which requires a smaller diameter flue and I hired CCS to install it.  I'm very satisfied with both the price and quality of the installation and this will greatly reduce the creosote buildup and increase the safety  of my home.
I highly recommend CCS.

I was negligent in not getting my chimney cleaned last Spring after the heating season and after inspecting the chimney concluded it was not safe to use unless cleaned.  I contacted a few other chimney sweeps who were pretty well booked up into January.
When I contacted Chesapeake Chimney Sweeps, they too advised that they were pretty well booked up, but that they would try to get me in their schedule as soon as they could. 
I was contacted with a target date later on and was told I'd be advised as to the precise time the day before.  True to their word, I was contacted the day before and given an estimated time of arrival which was right on.  Mr. Crandall and his assistant were very professional and got right to work, covering the floor with a drop cloth and commenced to pull the stove from the fireplace to clean it and the chimney.
They were very thorough and did a great job cleaning my stove and chimney and re-insulated the stove trim before pushing it back into place.
I will have them return after the heating season to clean the chimney again and have an insulated chimney liner installed which I've been wanting to do for some time.
I found Mr. Crandall to be honest and I was very well satisfied with his work.  I highly recommend him, but don't wait until the beginning of the heating season to have your chimney cleaned, do it in the Spring!
