“I'd give more stars if I could. They got me in much earlier than expected. Darren was great! Wood burning fireplace suddenly was filling house with smoke. Found the problem immediately. Had him go ahead and clean it. Will definitely use and recommend again.”
- R Richards
“The best service we have had!! Very thorough. We thought we needed something that we didn’t. Could have done it and made more money, but they are too honest to do it! Cleaned up after themselves. In fact, my floor was cleaner when they left than when they got here! We will never use anyone else!!”

FAQs
When Is The Best Time To Get A Chimney Sweep?
Ideally, the best time to get your chimney swept is at the end of the burning season. This is typically the spring/summer months. You will likely find a delay in response time for services from October-January each year due to the high volume of requests, so getting the job done before peak season hits is recommended.
How Frequently Should I Clean My Chimney?
An annual inspection of all the chimneys in your home should be a regular part of your yearly maintenance plan. This will determine the extent of further cleaning you need.
What Causes Smoke Problems in Chimneys?
Smoke problems may be caused by:
-A dirty flue preventing draft
-A bigger or smaller flue than needed
-Improper air pressure in the house
-Wind direction
-Obstruction in flue
-Damper not opening properly
Will There Be A Mess After I Get A Chimney Sweep?
No, we take every precaution to ensure your house is as clean when we leave as it was when we came in. Before getting started, we set down protective drop cloths and if necessary, we will mask off the area.
Do I Need Chimney Caps?
Yes, all chimneys should be capped. Caps prevent natural elements and animals from getting inside your chimney. While chimney fires can do lots of damage to the inside of your chimney, water and moisture can too.
