"Efficient and personable. Completed the sweep without trying to up sell us like the previous contractor. (Previous one, not on angi’s list and more of a handyman tried to quote about 4 times more and asked me if I had anyone that could help?). Good agency."

"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."

"Jason was the mason who came out and repaired my chimney. He was on time, completed the job plus did an excellent job with clean-up and assisting in some additional needs around the chimney area. He was extremely pleasant and had great customer service, This is the third time I have used Dr. Sweep for fireplace and chimney issues. I highly recommend this company. Prices were also great."

"Time for an update, I am happy to say I can now give this company better grades on everything. The manager who never got anything done for us and mostly never called back has been replaced, and the guy they sent to rectify our issues, Eric, did an excellent job and was very knowledgeable and professional. He was not involved in installing our stove, but I am glad they replaced those people with somebody who knows their stuff. He gave us our stove knob (yes, we finally got one) but more importantly he immediately recognized the chimney cap issues the other guy who didn't know what he was doing did, and he ordered the parts and came back 2 weeks later and fixed it, so as of last week we are very happy customers. We also needed a chimney cleaning and Eric did a great job on that too. Now that they have changed the management and hired people who really know their stuff, we can highly recommend them.
Honestly, I am completely and totally exasperated with this company. If you want a really professional job, hire true professionals or do it yourself. If you want a cheaper, adequate job with tons of frustration and loose ends, use this company. The top of 2 bricks on my hearth have digs in it from when they put the stove in, they gave us some bricks, but if we want it repaired we have to do the work or hire somebody. My insert is missing it's knob (they NEVER gave us) and we have tried to get for ALMOST 9 MONTHS now, and they are giving us some lame excuse they can't get the part, it is completely and totally ridiculous. From the start, they were bad, our salesman didn't show up and didn't call for our first appointment and then gave some excuse after we had to call the main office and complain. It only got worse from there, I have been complaining to my husband the entire time, and he keeps trying to deal with them, but even he had enough (finally) when he wanted them to fix up the crappy job they did on chimney cap, and they give us an $8,000.00 estimate to completely re-build our chimney. A. Our chimney does not need to be completely re-built, and that was NOT what we asked for in any way, shape or form and B. If I ever did decide to have my chimney re-built, there is no way on earth I would ever hire this unprofessional company again. I am not too thrilled with Osburn either, the missing knob and the fact that the flashing around the stove is terrible and cheap looking. We have purchased some tiles we are going to install ourselves, or hire a true professional, but we have had enough of these clowns. If you like playing phone tag all the time, getting excuse after excuse after excuse, unprofessional results and taking lots of aspirin, then by all means ignore this review, otherwise, buyer beware."

"Lee was fantastic! I called him up on Monday to inquire about having our chimney swept. He was immediately warm and receptive on the phone, and offered an early morning appointment for today. He arrived promptly at our scheduled time, and took great care to keep our home clean while he made certain that our chimney was cleaned out, repaired, and in tip-top shape. We'll be certain to use "A Cheaper Chimney Sweeper" again in the future!

"Our Chimney sweep, Jason, did and excellent job. First he inspected up on the roof top. Then he cleaned and did a safety inspection of our gas insert. He explained what he found and how we can use our fireplace more safely. He answered our questions and gave recommendations for our future fireplace remodel."
While it’s possible to sweep your own chimney, it’s usually not a good idea for two reasons. First, inexperienced DIYers are more likely to miss areas of the chimney, which still leaves the risk of house fire due to the remaining residue. Second, chimney sweeping seems like a simple process, but it’s highly dangerous. Soot and creosote are both carcinogenic and can cause breathing issues and lung damage. If you don’t take the same safety precautions that professionals do, you could be putting yourself at risk of serious bodily harm.
You should plan to ask your chimney sweeper questions about the cleaning process they intend to use, the project timeline, and more to get a sense of which professional is right for the job:
What is your process for cleaning chimneys?
How long will the process take?
Will you protect my floors from soot and debris?
Will you do a chimney inspection, too?
Do you have certification from the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) or the National Fire Institute (NFI)?
Will you need access to my roof?
The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.
In some cases, you don’t need to do anything to prepare for chimney sweeping, but professionals always appreciate leaving the area clean and easy to access. As such, it’s a good idea to move fireplace accessories like screens and fire tending tools out of the way, and lay down tarps of drop cloths around your fireplace opening to help keep your floors clean. Laying down a plastic sheet under those cloths or tarps is a good idea if your fireplace is surrounded by carpeting, just to add extra protection. Finally, secure any pets or children away from the work area.
The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
