Bay Area Chimney Sweep

Did not use this contractor.

Dale had recommended a sub contractor named Jerry Duran. He built and porch and cover about three years ago. And about two weeks ago extended. Whole project sloppy and cover leaking everywhere. Just found more leaks in cover from three years ago. Had to have a whole 4x8 section repaired. Roof and shingles. Do not use any of the contractors Dale recommends. I’m out $$$$. That’s because Jerry and both Dale won’t wan up and hung up on me.

They inspected my chimney to ensure it was safe to use, and explained to me how to use it. They showed up on time and performed the work needed. They did not actually clean it, because it had never been used.

They showed up on time, performed the work professionally, cleaned up after themselves, and were on their way. I would recommend them to anyone needing chimney work.

The owner gave us a call about an hour before the scheduled appointment to say that his workers were in the area and they could come earlier. We were happy about that and Benny and his assistant showed up right away, got up on the roof, inspected the Chimney Cap. He said there was nothing wrong with a Chimney Cap and that we didn't need a new one. You noticed that there was a very small section of screen missing in a section of screening at the base. So he fashioned and installed a metal collar around this area. He said he doubted that this was an entryway for rodents and noted that the caller completely seal the area of concern that the exterminator point it out to us. Benny and his assistant were friendly, professional and efficient. We had an excellent experience with this company and would use them again.

Went well, they had to come out twice because didn't have all repair parts the first trip.

They came out and determined that it was essentially happening from flashing not sealed at the rear of the chimney. That was taken care of immediately. Additionally noticed that the crown/wash had several cracks in it. After a 2 week wait, came back to fix the crown/wash by putting on a new surface that now had a pitch to allow rainwater to run off unlike the builder's original flat one.

They came out in a timely manner and appeared to know their business. They knew the problem right away and explained the issue very well. Very easy to work with Would use them again.

Job was done on time and quickly

Good job done. Fair price I thought. Would use again

Great. No problems. They even trimmed a tree that might have knocked the cap off again.

Great. I recommend them to others.

Wonderful job. Quick, efficient, and very professional. Would highly recommend.

Great service. Inspected and swept chimney. It had a LOT of loose creosote which not only is a fire hazard but also makes a mess as it gradually breaks free and falls into the fireplace (I am changing over to an electric insert). They pointed out a few items that needed attention without being overly pushy, I appreciated that. Glad I called them.

Chimney cap was too high and so Dale adjusted and fixed the problem.

On time Good work Were cone in under an hour. A little pricey but knowledgeable and professional

The installer was very knowledgeable and helpful in explaining my options, including up-front cost and long-tern costs and maintenance (my biggest concern). I chose to replace my existing set on the spot. Within one hour my chimney was swept, tacky fireplace doors removed, brick cleaned, old logs and starter removed and a new, beautiful set of gas logs were lighting up my fireplace. And he even repainted the interior of the firebox with a fresh coat of black paint. It looks brand new! Now I'm just wanting for the next cold front...

Dale & crew of Bay Area Chimney Sweep have been cleaning & inspecting our brick masonry wood-burning fireplace annually for the past 10 years. They always arrive on time and are respectful of our home, placing drop cloths around the hearth and flooring in the living room during the cleaning process. They thoroughly inspect the exterior as well as interior of the fireplace/chimney at each annual visit. They have repaired the exterior crown of the chimney in the past, as well as installed new 13x13 chimney caps. They use brushes as well as an industrial vac with special HEPA filter to clean/remove all creosote build-up in the fireplace. Their standard cleaning charge is a flat $110 (including tax). Highly recommend Bay Area Chimney Sweep!

Very nice people.  I had the fireplace checked and cleaned a year ago by another provider.  This was the first time I have used Bay Area Chimney Sweep.  They diagnosed the issue and had it repaired in less than an hour.  I am very pleased with the service and the product that I purchased from them.
