"English Sweep came highly recommended by our HVAC guy and it makes perfect sense why! I couldn't be more pleased with the ultimate professionalism, customer service, and quality of work we received from them. From the initial phone call to set up the inspection, to the service technician who did the inspection, to the 2 technicians who came to do the work today... top-of-the-line service all the way around! This is the first time I've ever used this type of service, and they made the entire experience painless. The estimate technician was very thorough in his explanation of the work that needed to be done, using the pictures that he took during his inspection. The technicians who did the work were respectful not only of our property but to me as well. They did such an amazing job of cleaning up after themselves, that one wouldn't even be able to tell we had work done (aside from our shiny new vents and tee). I can't speak highly enough of this business, and I will be sure to recommend them as much and as often as I can."

"They were great to work with. Knew what they were doing. Had the cap to our chimney get blown off in recent storm and was destroyed. They came out and fixed on a very steep roof. They even put a tarp over chimney when they inspected the chimney before doing repairs."

"Josh installed a new cap on my chimney when the old one came off from hail and wind. He came the next day as promised, installed the cap for the reasonable price he quoted and was very professional. I will use him again in the future for chimney work."

"Mike was great! He was prompt, did a thorough inspection, and took the time to explain everything to me and then even showed me some tips and tricks that I didn t know as a first time fire place/chimney owner. He came for a sweep but after the inspection said that it didn t need it. It was reassuring to know that he could have pulled the wool over my eyes and make a buck but instead was honest. We will definitely have him back and recommend to anyone!"

"David and his employee were very nice and arrived on time to my house. I could tell David cared about my chimney and making sure it was clean. His employee would clean the chimney and then David would inspect his cleaning job and would get in there himself and clean the spots he saw were still there. This made me feel confident in his work. He patched up all the cracks that I had in the back and bottom of the fireplace for a decent price. They left the area nice and clean after they were done. I will be using Absolute Clean next time I need my chimney sweep.

Chimney Inspection FAQs, answered by experts

If you see rust spots or streaks or any physical damage to the chimney cap from the ground, you should hire a professional to inspect and replace it. If it’s safe to get up on your roof or near your chimney cap with a ladder, you can perform a closer inspection to identify issues. Additionally, if you know your chimney cap is nearing the end of its life—usually five to ten years—or you’re seeing evidence of water damage or pest infestation in your chimney, it’s a good idea to replace the cap.

Eaves will last as long as the roof, often 15 to 30 years or more, depending on the type of roof. Since eaves are part of the roof, their life span will depend on the roof's condition, although they can still be damaged by faulty gutters or pest damage, shortening their longevity.

While you can technically install new roof sheathing over an old layer, it is generally not recommended for several reasons. Installing new sheathing over old can trap moisture, which may lead to future problems, especially in humid climates. It also adds significant weight to the roof structure and prevents you from inspecting the original sheathing for rot, mold, or other damage.

However, in some cases, if the old sheathing has been thoroughly inspected and is in excellent condition with no signs of rotting, warping, or damage, a roofer may install new sheathing over it to add strength and stability. Despite this, the more common and recommended practice is to remove the old roof sheathing entirely before installing a new layer, as removing it is not a difficult task.

If your roof leaks in heavy rain, that means the roofing is compromised and will need to be inspected and likely repaired. Small holes or cracks in the roofing material or flashing may not be noticeable in dry weather or even in a drizzle, but if they suddenly become noticeable when heavy rain comes, it likely means that small amounts of water are leaking in at other times, potentially causing damage.

The four types of roof sheathing are plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), planks, and tone-and-groove boards. The overwhelming majority of homes use the first two (especially OSB) and the other two are not often seen outside of special use cases. Methods of sheathing include solid sheathing, open sheathing where there are gaps, and plank sheathing. Most roofs are solid sheathing.
