99 They left an open hole in my roof and tried to say it was already there. I wasn t able to inspect the area until the following day. They were hired to do much more than what was actually completed, and they never finished the job. The work they did was limited to the area around the chimney,...
Chimney cap was too high and so Dale adjusted and fixed the problem.
Bay Area Chimney SweepJames was very thorough. He inspected the roof and repaired one cracked shingle. He also fixed the problem with the vent pipe and no more leaks.

Secure RoofingThey seem to have finally fixed a leak from around the chimney area. We had been having the problem for several months having also tried last another of Angies A-rated roofer. Joe Ochoa's crew installed a new flashing, water shield barrier and sealed the area around the chimney. Due to the...
Joe Ochoa Roofs & Even MoreExcellent. I would definitely use these folks again. They cleaned the chimney, cleaned up after themselves, were great to work with, made me feel comfortable with using my chimney (as house inspector lead me to believe I should never use the chimney without expensive repairs).
Guardian Chimney SweepNeeded a local company to clean chimney..Called Smokeys and they never returned call.
They performed the chimney sweep and recomended some other services. I was satisfied with the service performed and did not do the othere services requested.
MUCH more honest and helpful than another company I had in for an estimate. Other company wanted to sweep chimneys that have gas fireplaces -- David from village sweep told me those don't need sweeping too often and mine looked fine. Also said I didn't need new chimney caps -- all in all...
They came out and inspected my chimney and gave me an estimate to replace my fireplace. They were recommended to me by Angies list. They were very prompt and price quote was right on.
My first purchase of a Angie's List Big Deal went very well from start to finish. Once the Big Deal was purchased I was able to print off the coupon with no issues. I then contacted Tim from C&A's Chimney Sweep and I was able to set up an appoitment very easily. Tim, owner of C&A came out...

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.
