Description of Work: I had them out for an estimate for a flu liner... they gave me one and told me it probably wasn't worth it (I was trying to get venting up to Mass Save standards so they could insulate). I had them put on a chimney cap while they were there.

Overall great job. Boxford Chimney Sweep's team of three arrived at my home at approximately 12:30PM to inspect my chimney and determined that the chimney needed to be cleaned out and a new liner with chimney caps needed to be installed. They went right to work, two hour job. A great team effort. Cleaned up when the job was completed. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Excellent job completed by professionals. Boxford Chimney Sweep was referred by a heating speciaist we called when our heating system shut down. Our chimney needed to be cleaned and needed a new liner. The team worked very well together to complete the job in about two hours. John inspected the problem and gave a price for the work that need to be done and was right on. I would highly recommend Boxford Chimney Sweep and suggest calling them first...you wont be disappointed!

Overall went very well. They were referred to me by Ken McConnell Plumbing who was doing the gas conversion job. They gave me an estimate on a Saturday, talked directly to Ken about timing and then I was able to schedule for the following Wednesday. They showed up at the arranged time and completed the job in an hour or so. Things went smoothly, very pleased with the service.
Description of Work: We switched from oil to gas and they Installed 6" round chimney liner and chimey cap.
John was very clear during the estimating portion, laying out the options with pros and cons of each. They arrived on time the morning of the install, then in no time they were at the top of the chimney, dropping the liner down, fitting it correctly and terminating both ends. They made the work seem effortless. I highly recommend these guys for quality workmanship done efficiently.
Description of Work: We had these guys install a SS chimney liner as part of the conversion from oil to gas boiler.

They had to do the whole chimney over. They were so neat and clean. When they came into the house, they put plastic runners on the floor to walk on. They didn't leave anything after they finished the job. Everything was cleaned up neat and clean. They were wonderful.
Description of Work: They came to fix my chimney. Some of the bricks had fallen into it.

Great job, very satisfied. The new liner was necesary as part of converting the heating system for one of the apartments from oil to gas. (The other apartment was already gas, and the two hot water heaters are also gas.) I called John on the recommendation of the contractor doing the conversion, who said he had used John for years. John called back promptly and, in a series of calls, arranged to put in the liner on the same day that the conversion was being done (meaning that I didn't have to take second day off work). He also gave me a price based on my description over the phone, and that was the price we ended up paying. When asked whether we should have a stainless steel liner (we had no idea), John said that he'd be happy to install one, but that it would be twice the price and it really wasn't necessary for our purposes. They came on the day scheduled, installed the liner, and included a chimney cap as part of the quoted price. (It was also nice to see a young woman on the crew that did the work.) Overall, very professional. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Installed new aluminum chimney liner in two family house.

John was quick to respond, showed up right on time, and quoted me an excellent price. In fact, his price was less than 1/2 (yes, that's right, less than *half*) the price of another seemingly well-regarded Angie's List Boston area sweep for the same aluminum liner.
Description of Work: John added a new aluminum flue liner to my chimney after I converted from oil to gas heat.

Great.
Description of Work: My 82-year old clay chimney liner had cracked and was causing soot drip and other problems. My plumber recommended John and he called me right back. John and his crew came over within hours to diagnose the problem and explain what needed to be done. They made an appointment to replace the chimney liner and repoint bricks in the chimney and showed up on time. They did the work quickly and cleanly and were very professional. I would highly recommend John's company for chimney sweep and repair work. Even though they are in Boxford they do a lot of work in the West Roxbury area so give them a call.
