Chimney Sweeping
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.

Fireplace Service
The technician was great, however the office staff are AWFUL! Warning - pay by check ONLY DO NOT give a credit card, my card was charged without authorization! Also, please do yourself a favor and make sure you record all conversations with scheduling and reception staff as things were "forgotten" at the detriment of the customer. I personally would give my business to someone else.

Chimney Sweeping, Fireplace Service
Where have we come to in 2022? What should be the norm is now entirely unexpected. It was thus a very pleasant surprise to have an honest, individual to deal with. Having moved into a new house which had not been appropriately taken care of by the previous owner, we thought we needed to have our fireplaces and chimneys cleaned prior to installation of fireplace doors. Jeff arrived on time, was extremely polite and quickly assessed our planned usage of the fireplaces. He then advised us that all we needed were the fireplace doors thus saving us from unnecessarily spending money on the cleaning. Thank you Jeff. We appreciate your honest assessment and advice. You are the only person we would call, if our fireplaces or chimneys should need any attention in the future.

"We at English Sweep, thank you for providing us with such a great review on Jeff!"

English Sweep did an excellent job cleaning both fireplaces. We have white carpet throughout our home and were worried that soot would stain the carpet. When the work was complete, there was no evidence of soot anywhere! Once they completed the sweep, the sweep did a thorough inspection. A detailed inspection report with photos explaining damage that was found was emailed to us the next day.

Russ came out early after calling to see if that was ok. Since the work is done inside he covered my furniture and used a vacuum so I didn't have any mess. He reviewed my whole chimney inside and out plus the firebox. He took pictures, showed me where I had problems, explained how they could be fixed and later in the day e-mailed me estimates for the work that needed to be done.
