Exceptional Carpet Care, Inc.Brandon Henderson’s Construction Plus LLC was hired for two jobs. The first was for replacing a window. The second was for replacing some wood along a chimney that was wet along with the siding. We approached Brandon (the owner) about this second job and asked for a quote. He said this was...
It went extremely well. The crew was punctual for a 7:00AM start and completed the job same day. The installers were very courteous and efficient. And the cleanup was done meticulously. There were no scraps left from either the shingle packaging or the tar paper packaging and the crew made...
Above All Roofing of Rochester IncI contacted Maier to trim a honeylocust in our front yard that needed trimming. It had a fair amount of dead branches, but overall was a lovely, graceful tree with long limbs dipping down to shade the front garden and the front deck. My husband and I loved to sit on that deck on a summer...

The Chimney SweepWe called and they came out right away to give us a quote. Came to do the work sooner than we expected and it looks great. Dano Chimney Service, on the other hand, never returned out calls (2 or 3 messages that we left).
M & M MasonryI had a general idea of what I wanted out of a remodel of my kitchen but I wasn't sure what was possible. Tom presented me with several options and I couldn't be happier with the final plan. I have more space than i thought possible. The project included removal of the chimney, moving a...
Master Builders IncIt took two days instead of one to complete the job (I expected more people to show up - only 3 were there the first day). They did the house the first day and the garage the second. Day two - only the owner showed up at first. His other guys called in sick. His wife showed up to help...
I needed the chimney cleaned and certified for our house to go on the market (hadn't used in years) and called Dano's. I was informed that he wouldn't clean or certify the fireplace for use (woodburning) since there was rust on the insert. He charged me $138.95 for this. He said he would come...
The estimate process was smooth but the storm doors had to be ordered. Once they arrived, most of the installation went smoothly. However, I came home just as the installer was finishing and he mentioned something about our door frame being unusual and that he installed the new door like...

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.
