"James is top-notch in every single way. We contracted him to install a new stove pipe to our 30+ year old home. James later returned to install a stove we had bought from another party. We were so pleased with absolutely everything James did. James was patient with us, answering questions and giving suggestions to help us stay on our budget! Both times James was at our home, you could not tell any work had been done. He is very meticulous in his work and leaves no trace. We highly recommend Chambers Contracting!"

I am the Chimney Cricket. No other employees. I serve from Wintergreen to Scottsville to Lovingston to Ruckersville and all points in between. I am licensed and insured.

"I called Chimney Cricket to come out and inspect/sweep my chimney since starting a fire in the (masonry) fireplace had always resulted in an unusual amount of smoke coming into the house. They fit me in quickly - that was nice - and he did the sweeping. Fast forward, I started a fire for the first time since the sweeping, and it was still really smoky. I had recently done some drywall work in the ceiling of this room, and still had a hole in the drywall. I observed a significant amount of smoke coming out of the hole (YIKES), so I doused the fire and felt around to make sure there was no interior fire. I also went outside and observed smoke coming through a pinhole mortar joint in the side of the chimney. I called him back to come take a look and find out why he hadn't told me my chimney liner was cracked. He came back - which was good - but assured me that there was no way smoke could be leaking into the house and that it was cycling back in through the attic. I subsequently confirmed that this was not the case, and finally called another chimney company out to have a look. They quickly reported that my liner was in poor shape, and a new steel liner would be necessary. So, bottom line, *DO NOT* use this company to perform an inspection. I would advise care in using him for sweeping, as long as you are very confident your chimney is in good shape. I can't speak to the quality of sweeping, though. I know the price is attractive, but sometimes you get what you pay for."

Additional DBAs - Nicholas Chimney works, Vienna Chimney Sweeps Inc. Hello, I am John Nicholas Petro, the owner of Nicholas Chimney Stove Fireplace. I have been in the chimney service industry for over thirty years. I cleaned my first chimney when I was eighteen years old. Chimneys are a big part of my life."If any one on my staff cannot solve your problems, please call me and I will give you my personal attention. Service area covered: Northern Virginia

"They never answer when you call and you have to leave a message. They take forever to get back to you. We had them come to clean our gas fireplace and repair it, it worked for about a month then it stopped working. We called and of course had to leave a message, then called a second time and their mailbox was full, called 2 more times and they have never called us back. So we are out $250 and our gas fireplace is not working. I do not recommend this company, they have very poor customer service and don't warranty their work if it doesn't stay fixed."

"We recently had a woodstove installed by Blue Ridge Chimney Services. I can not say enough about Matt and Victor. They are both very professional, extremely knowledgeable, pay great attention to details and very personable. The first day they came out to my home they answered all my questions regarding which stove would work best in our home. I called them a couple times with additional questions and my calls were returned promptly. They all deserve higher than 5 stars in my opinion. Rhonda in their office is fantastic as well. I would highly recommend Blue Ridge Chimney."

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

The best time of year for roof cleaning depends on the climate in your area, but in most cases late spring or early summer are the best times. You should plan to clean your roof when it’s dry and not too hot or cold. It’s also a good idea to clean your roof in the late autumn to remove any built-up debris like leaves or branches. On the other hand, you shouldn’t clean your roof when it’s too cold, because you can cause ice buildup.

You should not clean roof shingles if the roof has damage like missing shingles or low spots where water may accumulate. You should focus on repairing the roof before any cleaning process occurs. If you notice roof damage as you’re climbing on the roof to clean it, stop immediately. Call a roofing pro to make repairs. Cleaning a roof that has damage could lead to pooling water or water damage to the roof decking. The roof cleaning process removes mold and mildew, making the roof look better. It is not going to fix physical damage, though.

For most people, summer is the best season to clean roof shingles. You want a day with dry weather and comfortable temperatures. In hot climates, late spring may work better for washing shingles. Avoid cleaning roof shingles at any time where ice could form from applying water in low temperatures.

Removing snow from your roof can help prevent ice dams, but the best thing to do is address insulation issues in your attic. If you do decide to remove the snow manually, you should always use a roof rake rather than a shovel. You shouldn’t climb your snowy roof in any circumstance, and roof rake allows you to remove the snow from the ground or a ladder. For the best results, remove snow as soon as possible after it falls.

If you’re painting your home or monitoring a job as it’s being completed, squash the issue ASAP if you notice paint is getting onto the roof. Keeping it clean is one of the keys to extending your roof’s life.

Removing latex paint before it dries is much easier and lowers the risk of damaging your shingles (more on that below). Simply spray the spot with a hose for one to two minutes to clear away the drying paint. In general, this is a good way to remove ugly stains from your roof without using chemicals.
