"I had a great experience with Mcbriens Flue & Fire. From the initial call to the final sweep, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. They arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and left the area spotless after completing the job. It’s not easy to find companies that take this much pride in their work, but they really exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend them for anyone needing chimney cleaning, inspection, or repairs!"

"I was really worried about the condition of our chimney and didn?t want to keep putting it off. The mortar was in rough shape and the top of the chimney definitely needed attention. Everything was cleaned out, repaired properly, and finished with a new crown and cap so it?s finally protected from water and weather. The chimney looks solid again and I feel a lot better knowing it was done the right way. It?s a relief having this taken care of, and if someone I know ever needs chimney work, I?d feel comfortable pointing them in the same direction."

"Sean and his workers did an amazing job painting the interior of our house. He used premium quality paints, stuck to the initial estimate price, and was able to complete the entire job within the requested timeframe (with his crew often working long hours and weekends). This allowed us to move into our home on our scheduled move-in date. Sean and his crew were also extremely careful with our newly refinished hardwood floors, leaving them spotless afterward. We were so impressed with Sean's work and his honesty that we immediately rehired him to repair our roof even though we had gotten estimates from other contractors, some of whom may have been trying to rip us off (apparently not uncommon). After starting the roof work, once Sean realized that the repair was not going to cost as much as he initially estimated, he let us know and adjusted the final cost down accordingly. While repairing the roof, he also noted that our woodstove chimney was filled with creosote (highly flammable), which apparently hadn't been cleaned by the previous homeowners in years; Sean immediately took care of it that very day. We still have some minor repairs left in the house and will be hiring Sean to do them. Sean is now our go-to guy for any issue with our home that is beyond our level of expertise. He is really easy to get a hold of, responds immediately, and goes above and beyond."

Chimney Sweep FAQs, answered by experts

It is generally not safe to live in a house with smoke damage, as even minor damage can pose long-term health hazards and structural risks. While it might seem safe temporarily depending on the severity, you should relocate if there is major damage or visible soot. Smoke smells and residue contain dangerous particulates and chemical compounds, including carcinogens, that are hazardous to breathe and can cause respiratory issues. These signs of damage are not always visible but can have dangerous short-term and long-term effects on your health, belongings, and your home's structural materials. You should not stay in the house until a trained professional from a smoke remediation or restoration company has assessed the damage and determined it is safe to return. Your insurance company may cover the cost of alternative housing while the professional work is completed.

Short circuits can cause significant damage to electrical appliances, bodily harm, and potentially death to humans. For this reason, they are a serious occurrence. If you’re unable to find and fix a short circuit on your own, you must reach out to a licensed electrician for help.

The first step in fire damage restoration is having a pro come in right away to help control moisture (if authorities used water to extinguish a fire at your home). Skipping moisture removal puts your home at risk for invasive mold and rot that can cause added property damage and health issues. Once you have the bulk of the water out, you’ll need to run blower fans for 24 to 72 hours to remove moisture.

Most projects take 1-8 weeks, depending on structural repairs, cleaning, and air quality restoration.

Ozone smoke removal uses an ozone generator to eliminate stubborn odors from sources like house fires, wildfires, or cigarette smoke. Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive and unstable gas that effectively neutralizes smoke odors through a process called oxidation. It 'donates' its extra oxygen molecule to the organic compounds causing the smell, altering their structure and eliminating the odor, with oxygen being the primary byproduct. This method can be effective on building materials and furniture. However, because improper use of an ozone generator can be dangerous to your health, this treatment is best left to a professional.
