Recent Chimney Sweep Reviews in Winston Salem
- Chimney Sweep ExpertsWe’ll worth the 3-4 week wait as Justin’s schedule stays full from so many new and returning clients! Everything went extremely well. Justin was fast to respond each time we called. We were amazed at his great prices and amazing work. He was very friendly, worked fast, and provided great pictures of before and after his repairs. Everything took around 2.5 hours start to finish when we were originally expecting 3-4. He was also exceptionally great with our dog. We will DEFINITELY be using The Chimney Sweep Experts again soon
- The Mad Hatter Air Duct Cleaning & Chimney SweepThey were very professional. They were polite and on time. I will be contacting this same group next year when it needs to be done again. I highly recommend the company. The price was very reasonable. They were kind to my inside dogs and cats.
- Chimney Sweep ExpertsFor five consecutive years here on our modern homestead, we have used the services of Justin at Chimney Sweep Experts to clean our nearly 100 year old chimney and wood stove. From the first day we contacted Justin five years ago, he went above and beyond. Every interaction with Justin has been professional, prompt, thorough, respectful and honest. We know he has been honest because the only source of heat for our home is a wood stove and we have never had a chimney fire. Our chimney was built around 1930 and it does not have a chimney liner. We needed a professional that would go above and beyond because our family's well-being may have depended on his honesty. Each year we would call Justin to schedule an appointment and often times it was already autumn when we contacted him because of our own lack of pre-planning. Even when his schedule was booked up for a month out, it was well worth the wait. When the day & time of our appointment was near and the forecast was expecting rain, Justin made accommodations to clean our chimney a day early! Every year Justin would gladly answer any questions we had regarding our chimney, wood stove, or anything regarding burning wood for heat. Justin always inspected the chimney first, then cleaned from above the chimney on the roof and then from within the house, taking the stove pipes apart and vacuuming inside the pipes and chimney. Justin always left our home very clean and reminded us as he left that if we needed anything or had any questions to contact him. We truly felt like we were always a priority to him, even when we had to wait for an opening in his schedule. We find it unfortunate that we will be moving out of his service area after this year, since our homestead is being sold. It has been an absolute pleasure to hire Justin. He truly is an expert in every sense of the word. In the times in which we live, finding a real professional that is respectful and honest can be hard to come by. We truly believe that anyone hiring Justin at Chimney Sweep Experts will be very glad they did
- John Budd's Chimney ServiceOur service from Budd's Chimney was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I will be calling him back every year for all our chimney maintenance needs.
- John Budd's Chimney ServiceWent really well, John was on time, did a great job and charged less than expected. A true professional and leader in his field..
- John Budd's Chimney ServiceIt went as expected. He cleaned the chimney and did not leave a mess. Only issue was leaving the bag of soot behind instead of taking it with him. He went a step further by reinstalling the damper that was discovered behind the fireplace insert.
- John Budd's Chimney ServiceHe was very prompt in returning our call and was here the next day. He was going to be a bit late, so he called to inform us of the delay. He was very careful to protect our furniture and carpet from being soiled and the job was done in a reasonable time. He was very thorough and professional and the fee was very reasonable, as well
- John Budd's Chimney ServiceVery personable and enthusiastic chimney sweep. Clearly knows his stuff. Gave me several helpful suggestions, was thorough and kept area clean. You won't be disappointed if you hire him.
- John Budd's Chimney ServiceJohn showed up on a rainy afternoon in December to inspect the fireplaces in a house that I had just bought. Just goes to show you what the home inspector misses. Turns out in addition to a good cleaning there was missing insulation in the upstairs chimney which could have resulted in an unsafe situation. John not only diagnosed the problem but fixed it that day and didn't leave a mess. It cost more than I expected but I feel like I got what I paid for
- John Budd's Chimney ServiceExcellent job. Very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Would definitely recommend him.

Cleaning and Repairing Chimneys
"It went great. On both houses, Lee and Josh cleaned each flue and fireplace without making any mess at all. On the 1920 house Lee inspected the chimney and recommended a re-pointing of the brick at the top of the chimney and the addition of a chimney cap -- which he knew would need to be consistent with the Old Salem guidelines for property in the historic district. On the other house, he recommended that I not use either chimney until both flues are relined with steel flues. What was good about this bad news is that he was able to show me pictures of the interior of the flue so that I could see that concrete joints between the flue tiles had fallen out. Beyond that, I could see the exterior brick exposed by the holes -- and the urgent need for repair. I have an estimate from them for the repair, but have not gone forward yet.
