83 Ken was fantastic. We had storm damage to our chimney which dented the flue inside. The house is old enough that we had to replace the entire fireplace from top to bottom. Ken spent probably 2 hours just talking to me about what needed to be done and why. Once we finally got our insurance...
Very professional, thorough and informative. He took his time and explained things to us, as this is a new home for us and we are unfamiliar with chimney maintenance. It is also an older home and is in need of some work. We also received pictures of the chimney interior which were very helpful.
Mr Smokestack Chimney ServiceThis was an excellent experience. Chimneys Plus is my usual chimney sweep, but they also install wood stoves. We looked around for a decent price, and were stunned by the expense of Jotul and Vermont Castings stoves. CP installed a Buck model 74 insert for more than $1000.00 less than the...
I haven't had them back, and I wouldn't. It took a while to set it up, and I felt like they were pushing for their services, and their prices were higher then other companies that I had checked with. They had priced out a new gas fireplace for me, and they told me that I would have to rip the...
STONE SERVICES INC HEATING COOLING ELECTRICALWe are very satisfied with On Tops Roofing, and highly recommend Jonathan, Austin and their crew. We interviewed four contractors before selecting On Tops to install our new roof and gutters. On Tops was competitively priced and highly rated, and their workmanship warranty (15 years) was a...
On Tops RoofingI called on a Wednesday and Dave came to the house on Saturday to provide an estimate. When he got here on Saturday and saw the situation, he had all the chimney flashing and matching new shingles on his truck so he offerred to make the repair immediately. The chimney area on the roof was...
DAVE'S ROOF REPAIRI was very pleased with the Clean Sweep service. Kathryn and her team arrived within the time specified and called to confirm the time she would be there. This was a rental home in need of a deep cleaning and the team stayed for multiple hours until the job was done. The house was cleaned...
Clean SweepThe leak continues. Mr. Norato came out twice and caulked but that did not solve problem. He said there were holes in the chimney and the caulk should take care of it but it didn't. I called a chimney specialist and he said the chimney was fine and that the leak was due to the flashing,...
EXCELLENT SERVICE AND HIGH QUALITY WORK. BECK'S REMOVED A BIRD'S NEST AND INSTALLED CHIMNEY CAPS ON OUR FIREPLACE 3 YEARS AGO, AND WE HAVE USED HIM EVERY YEAR SINCE THEN TO INSPECT AND CLEAN OUR FIREPLACES. GENE BECK IS KNOWLEDGEABLE, FRIENDLY, AND PROVIDES EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Beck's Chimney SweepI WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THIS COMPANY. STEVE WAS VERY RESPONSIVE AND PROFESSIONAL.

WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS...

"I had Tebco fencing come out to move my back fence line back 18ft, install a 4ft walk gate, and replace around 50 vinyl panels. They came out around September 10th, it took them a day and a half to finish. After they were done, I paid them, I also asked if they had put screws in each back corner of the fence so if the wind was really bad it wouldn't blow the panels out. They said they put screws in both back corners and told me if I saw anymore panels that needed replacing to let them know. I texted TJ Brown on September 13th to let him know that there were panels that got missed and needed to be replaced. I texted him again on September 20th, he finally texted me back to say he would come out ASAP to replace the rest of the panels for me. I told him I put blue painters tape on the panels that needed replacing. On September 27, October 5th, October 15th, October 23rd I texted him wanting to know when he'd be out, no answer. On October 25th I texted TJ Brown, he finally responded back saying, We are way behind bc of Covid in the family and then a death in the family. I have you on the list to go out and get you taken care of. That's the last time I've heard from him. I called TJ Brown on December 23rd, left a voice-mail explaining my frustration with him and his company. This was the day we had 50mph + wind gusts, blew out my two back corner panels of my vinyl fence....yep, they didn't put screws in the corners like I asked them too and said they did. It's now mid January 2023 and still no response from TJ Brown. I'm sure if it was a new customer wanting a fence installed he'd be right on calling that person back. Liars, p*** poor service, non stop excuses of why they can't come out, won't respond back....guess he got his work ethic from Joe Biden. Terrible company, won't ever do business with them again! I'm sure I won't ever get the panels that I paid $ for replaced."

"Did a good job and in a timely fashion"

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.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
Chimney sweep costs can be dramatically affected by the type of chimney, its location, and how dirty it is.
Wondering how often to clean a chimney? Our guide will walk you through the recommended frequency, best time of year, and common signs your chimney’s due for a cleaning.
Your chimney sweep may not wear a top hat and dance on the ceiling, but they will keep your home safe by providing chimney inspections and cleanings. Follow these steps to learn how to hire a qualified and trusted chimney sweep in your town.
A clean chimney can reduce your risk of poor indoor air quality and house fires. Use this guide on how to clean a chimney to keep you and your family safe.
When comparing vented versus ventless gas logs, vented logs are better for ambiance, while ventless gas logs are easier to install and heat a room efficiently.
Knowing how to use a creosote sweeping log for additional maintenance in between your annual chimney sweep can help keep your home safe from fires.
