Service and work were stellar. Our first time for this service ...and we should have done this sooner. No issues, but nice to have it professionally inspected and cleaned. Vic also pointed out that our gas insert burner was getting to it's end of life and to consider replacing in the next year, which we will do. Will absolutely use Clean Sweep again.

I had a great experience with Clean Sweep Chimney Service. Victor came on the day scheduled and even came early. Called before he came. We had just bought this house and this was the first chimney cleaning we have had at the new property. In addition to cleaning the chimney Victor explained all the bells and whistles I had with this fireplace other than just opening the flue. He was very helpful and informative. I would definitely use this company again.

I had just bought my home and the previous owners didn't know when the fireplace was last cleaned (if ever). Playing it safe, I wanted to have a professional take a look at it prior to using it. After searching Angie's List and reading reviews, I wanted to give Clean Sweep a try. I called and spoke with a very nice woman who took my information and helped me set up an appointment for the following week. Victor showed up on time and went to work right away. Sheets/tarps were placed along the walking path to the family room where the fireplace is located so as not to track any of the rain/snow into the house and to ensure that no soot was tracked on the way out of the house. Victor inspected the entire unit and cleaned everything meticulously. The whole process took about an hour. Victor answered my questions and provided me with some information about my fireplace that I was not aware of. He also made some replacements on the unit and I am happy to say my damper is now functioning with ease. The cleanup was spectacular and I couldn't find a spec of soot or dirt anywhere in the vicinity. I am very happy with the services performed and really appreciated the little things that set Clean Sweep apart from other services (a thank you note and a few reminder gifts). I will definitely be using Clean Sweep for all my future fireplace and chimney needs.

Everything was professional and friendly from my initial phone inquiry to the service provided. The lady I spoke with informed me that there was a possibility that they might not be able to remove the bird if it was a certain type of federally protected bird. (Who knew?!) The technician called me later that day to again make sure that I understood that. I appreciated their honesty. The technician was friendly, professional, and very clean. I joked that my floors might have actually been cleaner when he left than when he arrived. I would highly recommend this locally owned business.
Description of Work
Checked for trapped bird, found cause of noise was just birds on top of chimney, not inside. (Thankfully!) While he was here I had him do the chimney cleaning as well.

Victor came out to sweep and inspect four fireplaces in a home we recently purchased. While it is not inexpensive, I found Clean Sweep to be competitively priced. He was at the home for approximately four hours and did a thorough job of cleaning and inspecting the entire chimney, inside and out. I was very impressed with the detail, the cleanliness and overall professionalism of Victor. Not to mention, he was just a really nice guy! When he left, I was provided with a detailed explanation of additional services that he suggested we may want to consider to keep our chimneys in safe working order. I was, in no way, pressured to use Clean Sweep for these services.

Overall the experience was more than I anticipated, the technician used a camera to view the inside of the chimney, allowing he and I to view everything. He gave us a detailed report of maintenance needed, when needed, and a free estimate on future work. Educated us on the kind of flute we have nd how best to care for it.

Competitive in pricing. Thorough in the job. I referred them to several neighbors, and we all agreed, we will continue to use ths company.

My experience with Clean Sweep was excellent. Setting up the appointments were easy and the lady in the office was so nice to deal with. I also received a post card in the mail confirming both appointments and he was right on time. Both times Victor laid out tarps to protect the carpet and hearth. First time he came out to clean the chimney he answered all my questions very patiently and did a great job. I feel confident that it was done correctly and thoroughly. I asked him to provide me a quote for replacing the damaged ceramic and his office called the next day with the estimate. I set up the second appointment at that time. Second time he came out with the new ceramic and made the necessary repairs maticuously. He also made some suggestions on how to avoid future damage to the ceramic which I really appreciated. I will be calling Clean Sweep back next year for our annual chimney cleaning!
Description of Work
Victor from Clean Sweep cleaned our chimney on November 1, 2011. He also inspected the ceramic in the fire box as it was starting to crack and crumble and gave me suggestions on what to do about the fireplace doors that were damaged. On November 21, 2011 he came back out and replaced the damaged ceramic.

I contacted this company a month ago, They missed the first appointment they made and set up another. A few days before the appointment I got a post card to remind me of the appointment and that it would cost $70 just to get the size of my chimney so they can order the parts I need. I called them and said they had never informed me of this $70 fee (and it wouldn't be deducted from the overall bill once they completed the work) They said they have always charged a fee for estimates. Well they are the only ones who do that I have talked too. Do yourself a favor, unless you have more money than brains, don't use this company, they are going to charge you every penney they think they can get out of you.

We never missed an appointment, on November 10 the homeowner called to check prices for a cap and damper at which time they were quoted, price depended on size, type and other factors along with estimate price for a service call. Homeowner wanted to talk with a tech and he was called back and again explained the factors that determine price, at which time he wanted someone to come out and check and was also told he did not need to be home as it could be checked from the outside. He was told at that time the office would call him back to set an appointment within a few days. Homeowner was called back on November 17th for the appointment set for December 1st Reminder cards were mailed on November 23rd with prices quoted and type of work that was to be performed. Cards are mailed out to all appointments as a reminder of price, time and work to be performed, the cards are written at the time the appointment is booked. Homeowner canceled appointment November 25th claiming we never told him about the $70 service call fee and he felt it should be free. We checked our records and phone log back to August and found no other calls from the homeowner or missed appointments. All callers are told about our service call fee of $ 70.00 that we have charged for many years. I can not speak for all companies but I know most trades as well as many other sweep companies in the metro area charge for estimates and service calls to help offset the cost of doing business .We strive to provide quality service at a fair price while continuing to be the oldest full service chimney company in the state.Kathleen G.
