CJW Chimney Sweeping & Restoration is a small, family owned and operated chimney sweeping business with over 23 years of industry experience. We love this industry because it allows us to have personal interaction with each of our customers, which is very important to us. We started this business after helping a family friend with their chimney back in the 1980’s. It was because of that job that we found our passion and CJW Chimney Sweeping & Restoration was formed. Each job we do is personalized because we know every job is different. We have met many great people over the years and it is our customers that keep us going. What sets us apart from our competition is our commitment to always doing the right thing and our quality of work is second to none. We would love the opportunity to partner with you for your chimney needs.

"From the moment I scheduled the appointment, CJW went above and beyond. The team arrived right on time, fully equipped, and with a level of professionalism that instantly put me at ease. They took the time to explain the cleaning process, answered all my questions with patience, and shared helpful tips on maintaining our fireplace safely and efficiently. What truly impressed me was their attention to detail—not a speck of soot left behind! Our fireplace looks brand new and works like a charm. You can tell they genuinely care about the safety and satisfaction of their customers. If you're looking for dependable, thorough, and friendly chimney service, this is the team to call."

"Overall, i was very impressed with the professionalism and skilled work performed by the owner Tim and his crew. The moment I called to get a quote, I knew I had made the right decision. Tim was very courteous, professional and accommodating. I was able to schedule a visit for my home the next day. The day of the quote I was very surprised to get a call from Tim saying that he was on the way and he gave me an estimated time of arrival. Right after I greeted him at my door, he put on some shoe covers before he set foot into my house. I was extremely impressed with this action. Tim then proceeded to inspect the inside of my chimney, the basement portion of my chimney, the outside portion of the chimney that was covered within my garage and the portion of the chimney that was above the roof. He told me that the chimney portion that was outside and above the roof was the only part that need to be replaced. He said there were a lot of broken and missing bricks and the chimney did not have a cap. He said the inside of the chimney and the outside of the chimney within the garage and the base of the chimney in the basement looked really good and didn't need any repair. However, he did say that the damper inside the chimney needed to be replaced, especially since it easily fell off in his hand. He suggested installing a damper above the chimney cap with a chain inside the chimney and anchored near the indoor fireplace door for easy access. His quote was extremely reasonable and within my budget. His honesty and professionalism is what set him apart from the 4 other chimney repair quotes I had received. I scheduled to have my chimney repaired a few weeks later. Since I was planning to have my roof replaced, Tim suggested that I get a date for that first then call him to schedule a date for the chimney repair. Once the roof date was set, Tim and his crew came a few days before and repaired my chimney. On the scheduled day for the chimney repair, Tim called me to say he was on the way and gave an estimated time of arrival. Tim and his crew immediately began tearing down the chimney. I had to leave my house right after they arrived so I didn't get to watch the whole procedure. However, a few minutes later, I did get a call from Tim saying that they discovered carpenter ants behind the chimney next to the roof eaves. He said I needed to call a pest control company. Other than that, Tim said everything was going well. The first things I noticed when I came back home was the finished chimney with the new cap and the new bricks that closely matched the color of the remaining bricks that didn't need to be replaced. The chimney looked absolutely perfect! Tim and his crew were still there cleaning up any brick debris when I arrived. Tim told me that he had forgotten to order the damper earlier and that it would arrive in a few days; He was very apologetic for this He said that the charge would be removed from the work that was done today. He said that once he received the damper, he would install the damper and only charge me for the part and not the labor. A few days later, Tim called to schedule a date to install the damper and once again he called to give an estimated time of arrival. Tim and his crew did a fantastic job repairing my chimney. I would definitely call B & G Masonry again for any future repairs or if I needed a new chimney."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Many experts agree on a twice-yearly schedule for DIY foundation checks and professional inspections every one to three years, depending on the condition of your foundation. Visually checking your foundation twice a year will ensure that it is not damaged during severe summer or winter weather events. Extreme temperature changes impact the soil surrounding the foundation, as do lengthy rain storms. Both issues expose the foundation to excessive moisture, which is not good for its overall health and stability. Call a pro if you notice any damage or changes during your DIY check.

There are a few things you can look out for to ensure your chimney is safe to use. Check for the following issues:

  • Cracks or missing pieces in the masonry of the chimney

  • Creosote buildup in the chimney, which is a black, tar-like substance

  • Cracks, stains, or scorch marks in the firebox

  • Water stains in or around the fireplace

  • A broken or stuck damper

A sagging, cracked, or uneven foundation, worn or outdated electrical systems, poor plumbing, and slow sewer lines are all common deal breakers that stem from home inspections. Musty odors, uneven floors, and sticky doors and windows may also be deal breakers that will tell you when to to walk away from a home inspection.

Annual inspection prevents leaks, blockages, pressure issues, or other problems from developing.

In most cases, you can negotiate after a home inspection and use the issues as leverage to bring down the purchase price of a home. The only exception would be if you waived the home inspection to make your offer more appealing to the seller. In that case, you can still have a home inspection done to identify issues, but you have no recourse to make a counteroffer after you get the inspection results.
