They were timely and left the place spotless. They even added new screen pulls which wasnot part of work requested, at no charge. I'd definitely hire again and recommend to friends.

Cheerful Chimney Sweep is an A+ company. I would recommend them to anyone. I called Cheerful Chimney Sweep to do an inspection because the previous company I had come inspect my fire place said my fire place was good to go and charged me a lot of money. I am new to the whole fire place thing so I took his word. Well then my fire place started leaking water when it rained. I went on Angie's list and did research on who to call. I found Cheerful Chimney Sweep. Called and spoke with the lady and she was very professional. She ask me when I am available. She was very flexible. Cheerful Chimney Sweep called me when they were on there way. They showed up in a nice company vehicle, (unlike the other company that I called and showed up and his van was barley running) I thought to my my self, great company vehicle, professional dressed, greeted me. I showed Cheerful Chimney Sweep to the fire place and they inspected it. They went above and beyond what I expected. They showed be how to work my fireplace and the HIGH priorities that need to get done to fix the fireplace. They also gave me a quote on a wood insert, showed me previous photos of the work they have done. Went on my roof and showed me what needs to get fixed. This company is very very well professional and very nice people to work with. I will be recommending Cheerful Chimney Sweep to everyone and all of the realtors I know to pass on the clients. I will be using Cheerful Chimney Sweep in the future. A++++++++ Thanks again. II should of called Cheerful Chimney Sweep first :)

First of all, Arlen returned our call promptly and that's always appreciated! She and her crew (2 gentlemen) came early and called before arriving. We not only got the flue cleaned, they cleaned our fireplace right down to and including the glass doors! Our faulty damper was also repaired. The gentlemen actually had the forethought and time to ask me to open and close the damper after the repair to make sure I could do it myself and understood the mechanism. Their equipment was cleaner than my own vacuum. Our carpet is off white so I was a bit concerned before they arrived. Our floor was first covered with a runner from the front door to the fireplace, and NO shoot or dirt was left behind on anything. Now this fireplace flue had not been cleaned in many years and a good amount of time was spent cleaning the hardened soot that built up. I was given great dips on fireplace safety with a genuine concern for making mine a safe home. All of them were enthusiastic, friendly and happy to be of service. Its hard to believe this kind of service still exists these days..........but it really does! I was told once that if a review sounds to good to be true, it probably isn't. Not in this case, I strongly recommend the Cheerful Chimney sweep and will look forward to seeing them in the future. They are the icon of people who enjoy what they do and take pride in their work. You won't be disappointed.

It was a wonderful experience. The crew knew their stuff, providing instructions and recommendations about the fireplace use and benefits to different types. They even gave me some free tomatoes when they were done. Just really nice people. Will be using them again when I replace an insert at my other house.

They were excellent. I left a message on their answering machine to see if they could come out this afternoon. She called me late this morning and said they would be by between 1:00-3:00. They arrived around 1:30. The Gentleman at the door greeted me with his top hat on and with a smile and a refrigerator magnet. They were very thorough and courteous. I would call them again.

For some time we had discussed having the clothes dryer duct cleaned, but kept putting it off. We called the Cheerful Chimney Sweep and set up an appt. Arlen and Jeri arrived on time and assessed the work to be done. As part of the ductwork was located under a drop ceiling, they made arrangements to come back the next day after we had removed some of the tiles. Again, arriving on time, they started work. The duct had not been cleaned in several years. It was so packed with lint, cleaning was not possible! Each section was removed, replaced and retaped. A new vent was installed and insulated at the exterior wall. The dryer was then connected properly to the duct. All of the mess was cleaned up and removed. Arlen and Jeri were wonderful to work with. While being professional, we felt as though family or good friends were in our home. I would HIGHLY recommend them!
Description of Work: Removed and replaced a dryer vent approx 20 or so feet long with a ninety degree turn.

More outstanding work from Cheerful Chimney! I use this company on a regular basis to clean the vent from my dryer...it vents out on of the roof. Every time they come out I am so impressed. These are the most hard working, honest, thorough, great, down to earth people! As always, they did a wonderful job and as usual left my laundry room cleaner than when they started. Excellent work done by honest people at a fair price.....who could ask for anything more! I am so happy to have found this company and recommend them without hesitation. Also they checked my chimney. I need to have the cap replaced. I'm having them back in a few weeks to do that job.

Professionalism at it's best! Fireplaces are dirty but you wouldn't know it when you use the Cheerful Chimney Sweep! He brought his own sparkling clean drop cloth and ONLY walked on it. He even walked it backwards out of the house so he would not step on my carpet! After be left there was no trace of soot or debris ANYWHERE! His personality was spot on with his company name too. He was very CHEERFUL! I most impressed and would gladly use him again and recommend him to everyone! I must also mention that his and quot;hatand quot;really made the entire experience a treat!

I called Cheerful Chimney Sweep to schedule an appointment. The woman that answered the phone was not cheerful. She said she'd have somebody call me back between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Nobody called. I will call another company today.

I contacted the Cheerful Chimney Sweep company because the chimney on my house was inspected and needed repairs and or replacement. They removed the deteriorating chimney from my roof, installed a sleeve through the remaining brick chimney in my house, reconnected the furnace and hot water heater to the new service, installed new roofing around the new chimney and much, much more. They even performed this job on a Sunday. They were a wonderful group of 3 people and I really enjoyed having them around. I was sad to see them leave when the job was through! I would definitely recommend them to anyone!

Each year we have Cheerful Chimney Sweep clean our dryer vent that vents out of the roof. I am so happy we found them! They are absolutely the nicest people! While one gets set up in the laundry room the other gets up on the roof. They do an absolutely thorough job. Not only do they get the vent clean, they also clean the back of my dryer and the floor behind the dryer. This is a very honest, reliable company!

I was very pleased with the service. They fit me into their schedule quickly and arrived at the set time. The job was done correctly, the people were very polite, they cleaned up the work area behind the dryer when finished and their price was very fair. I'm very happy with the job they did and will use this company again! Update-I used this company in 2011 and again just last week. Each year they have provided excellent service! Super nice people!

Arlen was very helpful throughout the entire process. She was quick with an estimate and gave me good information. When I decided to go with Cheerful Chimney Sweep she was also quick to get the job done. We made plans to have the job started on Monday morning weather permiting. It had rained all weekend and was sprinkling lightly on Monday morning so I expected a call to reschedule. She called at 8:30am to say she was on her way. They started promptly at 9am and the weather cooperated. All was finished by 3pm and they did a great job and were very friendly. I will definatly use them again for any furnace, heating or ductwork! Thank you Arlen!
Description of Work: Arlen and her team tore the top of my chimney off and lined the interior chimney prior to me getting my new roof done. My old chimney was not lined, wasn't capped and was in deperate need of repair.
