Customers say: Terrific value

"Iâ m so glad we hired Paulie and his crew. My 130 year old four story chimney had never been cleaned and was falling apart. Paulie cleaned and repaired the chimney and put in a new flu and did an excellent job while explaining all that he was doing. And for a reasonable price. And heâ s a nice guy."

"We had a very good experience with Statewide Chimney. They were upfront and honest about the scope of the work necessary to repair a leak in one room (they didn’t try to sell me on a whole new roof). They did the work quickly and well. The leak is repaired; there has been a lot of rain since and there has been no water coming in. Their price was a little on the high side, but I did not think it was at all unreasonable, especially given the high quality of the work. They did have to postpone our job once, but they kept us fully informed and worked with us to find a convenient date to reschedule. I would recommend them without reservation."

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

In many cases, professionals can completely remove certain types of smoke damage from walls and ceilings, but it’s only possible if the damage is minor. For more extensive damage from major fires, you’ll likely need to replace the damaged materials entirely. Some items, like upholstered furniture, are much trickier to clean and might need to be replaced even if the smoke damage is minimal.

Baking soda is an effective fire reduction method. However, flour and baking powder are very dangerous around flames. Flour is flammable and it can also conduct electricity. The combination can cause serious injury from electrical shock and worsen the situation by adding fuel to the fire. Baking powder is also not an option as it's also highly flammable. 

Depending on who’s doing the estimating, about 22,000 to 25,000 chimney fires happen each year in the United States. Given the fact that millions of Americans have fireplaces (and chimneys), that means chimney fires aren’t exactly common—but they’re not rare, either. Since they’re so dangerous, it’s important to take precautions to prevent them.

Common issues discovered during a chimney inspection or cleaning include creosote buildup, cracked liners, structural degeneration or masonry degradation, and obstructions such as blocked flues or animal nests. These issues are potential safety hazards that can lead to combustion problems or poor air quality if not addressed.

Yes, most homeowners insurance policies cover fire damage and restoration, provided the fire was not set intentionally or caused by negligence. Accidental fires, such as those from electrical issues, cooking, or gas, are typically covered. Your policy will usually cover emergency services like roof tarping, the full cost of remediation and rebuilding, and may also cover alternative housing while your home is being restored. You will be responsible for paying your policy's deductible. It is important to check your policy details to see how coverage is calculated—it may be for the full replacement cost of damaged items or the actual cash value, which accounts for depreciation. To expedite your claim, contact your insurance company immediately and have all necessary documentation ready.
