We needed to have a portion of our chimney removed and contacted several different companies. We chose Safe T Sweep based on their reasonable quote and professionalism. They were effective, efficient, courteous and prompt throughout the entire process. We are happy with the outcome and would definitely work with them again.

Jon and his son came out and cleaned our chimney. There were precisely on time and very neat in their work. Jon even showed me via photo where a small crater was forming on the chimney cap mortar. Would highly recommend - very professional and friendly and the cleaning was very thorough.

he came and did an inspection which I paid for, and gave an estimate but now doesn't return calls. I have to start again from scratch with another company starting with the inspection.

Poorly-- he installed a damper that broke the first time we used it and then never returned our calls or emails. He was a nice guy and seemed responsive, but now he is no longer reachable and we have to pay someone else to do a job we already paid him to do.

"We are extremely sorry to hear that. Unfortunately we ended up having a family emergency and we're unavailable for almost 6 months. We did talk afterwards and offer a reimbursement."

Jonathan was great to work with. He was helpful when I called and was able to schedule me quickly. He arrived right on time and was very friendly. Jonathan looked at both of our fireplaces and determined only one was in need of a cleaning at this time. We appreciated his honestly as he easily could have told me they both needed it and charged me double. He worked quickly, left the area very clean and made recommendations for how we might be improve energy efficiency without pushing for an additional sale. I also appreciated how nice Jonathan was to our overly friendly dog! We will definitely use his services again.

Jon is very friendly and knowledgeable. He went over the chimney, the firebox, operation of the damper and double checked in the attic to make sure any and all penetrations were sealed.

"Not sure what to say, I guess we provided an estimate and you liked us but either your not doing the work yet or you went with a another company. Either way thank you for the review."

David made several trips up the ladder to my roof where he had to then use a step ladder to get to the top of my chimney. He secured the fixture on top of the chimney & checked that the other components were OK. When I asked him what I owed him he said that there was no charge!

"Thank you for finding the time to write a review, it's about 1 in every 6 people on Angie's list that take the time to write a review. So we really do appreciate it. That was some wind storm, I have had to reinstall quite a few caps for people that found their caps on the lawn or the disintegrated galvanized lids. Have a great summer hopefully the snow is out of here for good."

Answered our initial inquiry call promptly, set up a date and he arrived punctually. Polite and professional and left no trace of soot, etc. inside house. Would definitely use again. Cleaned fireplace and noted a concern but did not push to have additional services done such as a new cap on chimneys, but we decided to have one installed as knew we needed them. Explained what he did every step of the process. Highly recommend. Friendly, cheerful personality and his courtesy was a bonus.

Jonathan was extremely neat, putting down a drop cloth to protect surrounding area, used a well ventilated shop-vac - spent considerable time ensuring all soot was removed; brushing the flue from the bottom, using a broom brush in the smoke chamber and wire brush inside the fire box; vacuumed off the smoke shelf and in the firebox and cleaned the glass doors. Inspected the chimney cap and crown.
I would use again and recommend Jonathan / Safe-T-Sweep, Inc.
