Eli is a joy to work with. Communicated well. He did the job for 1/3 of the cost of the company that discovered the problem. I will continue to use him for cleaning services. He replaced a rusted chimney cap for us, and caulked some cracks in the firewall of our fire place. Highly recommend him.

"The mark of a good service company is the lack of need to take on an additional project (clean up) after the project is completed. This is definitely the case with CJW Chimney Sweep! Greg and Will placed runners all the way from the front door to the fireplace completely covering the tile and wood floor that was trafficked. In addition the entire fireplace hearth was covered. After their efficient professional work, there was NOTHING left to clean up. This is very highly appreciated which is exactly why we are repeat customers."
