He was very professional and very sweet to my curious dog. I will definitely use them again next time I need a sweep.

We had just bought the house and noticed the chimney flue was rusted. We thought that we needed to replace the chimney flue or whatever was needed to be done to get the fireplace in working order. He came and looked at it told us that it would be a $6000 job. I thought that their price was ridiculous. They charged us $250 just for looking at it, which was not expected. They told us that the $250 would go towards whatever repairs we made when we objected. They said that they were the only game in town. I didn't have a good experience and that was very negative for me. They were a recommendation from somebody who we normally trust. I find it so weird that they are highly recommended by other people. It took them a few days to come out. I would try hard not to use them again in the future.

After he cleaned the chimney we discussed the condition of the chimney, the cap, and other areas that needed improvement that included bringing the system up to present day code. He gave me a written quote right on the spot for work that and quot;should beand quot; done and answered every question. He didn't try to sell me or scare me into anything. A true professional. I will follow up on the quote he gave me.

Recently moved to a new home and despite the chimney looking new, I wanted to confirm that it was in proper working order before striking a fire. A clean sweep called to reschedule the appointment due to possibly inclement weather rather than just not showing or postponing the work. Eric arrived on-time. As it turns out, A Clean Sweep is the one who refurbished the chimney within the last couple of years. He said everything looked great and there was no need for a cleaning or further work. He made some recommendations on how to improve air flow in the chimney as it was an originally used coal. Will definitely use again. He could have easily ran some brushes up and down and sent me a bill --- instead he said call him back in a year or two when it actually needs some work.

Everything went well even with the weather issues. Eric came by on the scheduled day exactly on time even though we had a Noreaster bringing sudden downpours every 10 minutes. He took a look at the fireplace and noted a few issues with the construction that I had already had concerns with. He rescheduled another apointment for a couple days later and did the cleaning and discussed my options as far as a new rain cap/spark arrestor, options for correction/sealing of a tin auxilliary duct that was part of the original construction (we suspected for future use) but shouldn't have been there. He was very knowledgeable about the proper way the fireplace and chimney should have been designed and how well this one should continue to function. He noted a few rusted through areas of the damper door and frame but didn't try to hard sell a repair. He gave me a few options for repairing it but estimated that it wasn't necessary immediately but if the time comes I could get a cap that has a damper in it as a more cost effective repair. He gave me a few cost estimates for different ways to handle it that sounded very reasonable. He even told me what I needed to do if I wanted to repair it myself. I felt he was honest with me and didn't try to push me into getting extra work performed. He simply told me the condition of all of the important parts and let me make my own decisions. He only pointed out a few things that could be problematic so I could keep an eye on them. It is afterall a 40 or more year old fireplace. I'm glad I picked A Clean Sweep to do the cleaning/inspection. Also, another note, he was very careful, clean and did not leave any mess for me to deal with. He put down a tarp before he started cleaning the fireplace and there was no debris left behind. He estimated it would need another cleaning in two years after asking about how often I use it , what and how much I burn in it and said they would give me a reminder at that time. He'll be the one I call for future cleanings and any repairs as long as I have a fireplace.

eric arrived promptly at scheduled appointment time. we had scheduled a fireplace cleaning as it had been approximately four years since last cleaning (performed by another contractor). after inspection, eric determined that we actually did not need a cleaning at all. we burn the store bought fire logs during the winter and clean ashes routinely. eric stated that we were doing the right thing and suggested that we call back in a few years for cleaning at that point in time. no charge for our appointment! what a refreshing experience - a contractor that did not scam us and perform an unnecessary service! definitely will use their services in the future!

He told me I didn't need a sweep. He was punctual. I think it's his wife that answers the phone. When you call in, because I am a female, she tells you what he looks like and what he will be driving so that you know who you are opening the door to.

Eric is extremely prompt and knowledgeable. He is very competitive in his pricing for chimney cleaning. We suspected that our chimney needed work beyond cleaning, and it does. I found his pricing to be extremely expensive for the repair and we have not gone forward with it. Without question, I would use the company again for chimney cleaning and to give an honest, thorough evaluation of the condition of the chimney. He definitely knows what he's doing. I'd get a second estimate for any repairs that are necessary. He's prompt, honest, and responsive.

Overall the service was very good. Eric, service person amentioned potential repairs to chimney area that may be needed in the future. The discussion was low key and he indicated the service could be performed in future. A year or two back had chosen to put non-stainless steel cap that was deteriorating faster than originally thought. We did not replace other items that should have been replaced at that time. Suggestions for repaired are planned for future and we will most likely use A Clean Sweep to do the work.

He removed the dryer and cleaned both the venting within the dryer as well as the vent itself from the floor level. He used a vacuum and a rotary brush. He also went on the roof and cleaned from the top down. I watched part of his procedure. Overall, he appeared to do a professional job. I will use them again next year.

Everything went fine with this company.

They were prompt, very thorough and very detailed. We were pretty happy with their service. We would use them again in the future.

I was really impressed with the knowledge that Eric had! He was able to explain to me why I was getting smoke in my house when we had a fire in the fireplace. He fixed the rain cap, chimney extension, and added a damper and a smoke guard. He showed me how to figure out what size smoke guard with aluminum foil and tape. My only problem was that there was some kind of miscommunication and I ended up with the wrong size anyway. But it seems ok.

Eric arrived on time, and performed the job quickly, courteously, and thoroughly. He moved the dryer, removed all lint from the system, and replaced the dryer. He will also send a yearly reminder to have your dryer vent system cleaned!
