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.

"We have used CJW for a couple years now and have had great experiences. When they arrive they lay out cloth to protect our flooring from dust and dirt which I really appreciate. They provide detailed feedback with images of the camera inspection of our fireplace. If an issue arises they are quick to respond and make it right which can be hard to find with some companies."

We are able to provide you with high quality repairs, cleaning, and other services for your chimney, that are sure to last for years to come. If you are looking for a Chimney Contractor, Gutter Cleaning Service, or Chimney Services Company, then Detroit City Sweep, LLC is the smart choice. Call us at (313) 437-2254!"

"Detroit City Sweep came to two of my properties to repair a total of three fireplaces. They did a fine job repairing one gas fireplace and adding caps to my chimney. I had a second gas fireplace that they needed to order a part for. I had to call them half a dozen times to get them to order the part and come back to the house to install it. When they finally did, it turns out they ordered the wrong part. After multiple calls they came out a second time, and again, it was the wrong part. Three weeks passed and on the third visit they brought the wrong part again and said the correct part was going to cost me twice what they originally quoted. I would like to recommend Detroit City Sweep, but I just can't. "

"He was super nice, he vacuumed out my fireplace, and he did go up on the roof. However, I am not sure he did a good job cleaning the inside of the chimney. I had someone come out to look at it and he said it looks like there are still some spots of creosote inside. To be fair, he was the least expensive quote."

Fireplace Cleaners questions, answered by experts

Cracks in the chimney can be very serious, depending on their location and size. Even small cracks can become serious over time if left unrepaired. Cracks allow heat and moisture to deteriorate your chimney and harmful carbon monoxide gas to seep into your home. Small cracks can often be caulked, while large cracked sections may require full replacement.

Some homeowners compare German schmear versus limewash because they look similar, though they’re different techniques. German schmear involves a thin application of mortar to stone or brick, which is then partially wiped off the surface. German schmear is more affordable ($1 to $4 per square foot), and it lasts one or two decades with minimal maintenance. As a downside, it only comes in white or gray.

Limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces if you apply them correctly. Use on non-suitable surfaces can cause issues. For instance, applying limewash or whitewash to surfaces with existing sealants or incompatible materials may lead to poor adhesion or flaking. Also, harsh cleaning agents on limewashed or whitewashed surfaces can damage the finish. Proper preparation, application, and maintenance ensure that limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces.

Yes, it’s a good idea to use paint primer on your brick fireplace before painting it. Brick is highly absorbent, so your first few coats of paint will likely seep into the surface of your fireplace, allowing the natural color of the brick to seep through. To avoid this, you’ll want to use one or two coats of primer, followed by the topcoat. 

A hearth often looks like a tile or brick floor that juts out from and surrounds your fireplace. A hearth can be made of stone, brick, ceramic, or any other fireproof material. Brick offers a classic and traditional vibe, whereas a hearth made of marble or ceramic may lean more toward modern aesthetics. The most common depth of a hearth is 20 inches.
