I’ve been using them for years and they’ve always done an excellent job. They are always fine and they come out every year. They are responsive. They are prompt. They explain what they find. I just think that they are reliable. They come when they say they are going to come. I will use their services again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Master Chimney Sweepers for chimney sweep. I last used their services about a week ago. They clean my chimney. They come out every year.

The call me every spring and we set up an appointment. I wasn?t here when they came but it is fine as far as I know. They come every year and they replaced a chimney cap for me a few years ago. I like that they remind me, I don?t think they are super pushy, they come when they are supposed to, and they are doing a good job as far as I know. They are recommended a steal tube for my chimney instead of replacing the bricks and mortar, and the price seems high to me. I don?t know anything about chimneys so I am planning on making some calls before I decide on anything.

I like that they give me a call to set up an appointment and arrive on time when they said they would. They are quick and tidy and they clean up really well. They have in the past installed a flew liner and that has worked out very well.

He inspected both chimney's when he got here and started in on cleaning right away. It took about 1 1/2 hours for him to clean both chimneys.
Description of Work: I had two chimney's swept - one for a pellet stove and the other went to my gas furnace - both had not been cleaned in 4 years. He showed up on time and did an excellent job. I would recommend them again.

chimney repair

The installation took place when they said it would. The installers also said there was no need of repair of the chimney flue and fireplace wall , a repair that another company had said was necessary.
Description of Work: A new liner was installed in my heating flue. I had hired another company to clean it because of an Angie's List coupon, but the coupon company said the clay tiles broke off and I would need to install a new liner. I decided to call Master Chimney, which I had used in the past. They are nearby and originally came highly recommended by my long time oil heating firm. I wanted a company I could rely on for the warranty. Trust is very important to me.

They were really good. Also they were very honest. We have 2 chimneys, and they could have charged us for both, but they told us that one of them did not need to be swept.

They were great. They cleaned three different chimneys. They were clean, on time, and overall did a great job. The price was a little higher because of the season that I did it in. I was happy with the price, but I know it can be cheaper if I do it in the spring. They were very professional too.

Jeff the sweep arrived well within the 2 hour window given and set to work quickly on evaluating my two fireplaces and chimneys of unknown status and reported that both were in good condition and that cleaning would not be required. I was informed why one of the chimney's we'd had a problem with did not create a sufficient draft and what could be done about it. The oil furnace flu was then cleaned quickly and effciently without any mess. Overall I was very satisfied by with work carried out and the level of professionalism.

The sweep arrived on time and he was very helpful and professional. Took the time to explain what he was doing and then cleaned the 3 flues after inspecting them. He was very clean and took care not to leave any mess and left the fireplaces in great shape. He also installed a chimney cap and spent several hours to make sure things were in place and explained everything very clearly. Overall a very good experience.
Description of Work: Got the Angie's List coupon to perform a 2-flue cleaning (fireplace and furnace) and also cleaned an additional fireplace flue and installed a chimney cap (50% off) at additional expense.

Each year they give me a call and remind me that it is time to have my chimney cleaned. She was very nice and informed me that during their slow season they give you a discount which is great. They have always been reliable. They send competent people who get the job done. They do a great job cleaning up, I have never had any problems. I have a really old house and they are really nice and have given me great advice.

I have used Master Chimney Sweepers in the past, and while they were fairly expensive, I was familiar with them so I scheduled an appointment to clean the flue of my woodstove AND check and replace the gaskets/seals. I got a confirmation call the morning the work was scheduled, and when I asked about the price again, I was told they don't replace gaskets! I have a baby on the way, so the gaskets were the main purpose of my call. I was told that whoever I spoke with must have misunderstood what I was asking for, however, the man I made the appointment with repeated and explained things in such a way that I know he did understand. Very disappointing.
Description of Work: The first time I had contact with them, I had the woodstove and flue cleaned. The second experience is listed below.

I had them lined the chimney with stainless steal liners and completely clean the chimney. Evidently they left 2-3 feet of soot at the bottom came in to replace the bricks around the base of chimney, soot shot out in clouds everywhere and filled up the kitchen, bath and hallways! They don?t back their work up and they won?t make it right! I now have soot covering everything in my home and they won?t clean it up or take responsibility for it! They are telling me that the other company should have known there was soot there and that I should call my insurance company in regards to the situation. UPDATED REPORT: 10/13/10 The finished the bricks in the cellar and did the clean up. They made the situation good, and I am pleased with the outcome now. They really got everything cleaned up well and I will use them to clean my chimney again in the spring.

Response from Master Chimney Sweepers
This damage did not occur as a result of any of the chimney cleaning or chimney lining work that we (Master Chimney) did for this member. According to the customer, this damage occurred after our work was completed when another contractor was replacing bricks at the base of the chimney. When they broke into the base they found a section filled with soot that had been accumulating there for 100 years. This section was inaccessible for soot removal because there was no cleanout door present. Instead of leaving the soot alone or temporarily stopping any soot from coming into the basement, they attempted to clean the soot out of the base. During this process they did not use proper tools (strong vacuums) to contain and control the soot. Without the proper dust control, soot emanated into the basement and upstairs. That contractor is responsible because the chimney was under their care, custody and control when this happened. Response written by Bill Heffernan, owner of Master Chimney Sweepers.

It didn't go overall - they never followed up and their price was ridiculous once I called around and compared them to other chimney sweeps.
Description of Work: I called them to sweep a chimney in Back Bay. Clearly they did not want the work as they quoted me 3X what other chimney people quoted, told me they couldn't come for at least 2 months time and then said they'd put me on their cancellation list and call me when they could fit me it. It's been a month...no phone call. My take - they find working in downtown Boston inconvenient due to parking, etc. It would be nice if they just admitted that up front.

Our Salesperson was trying to meet the customers scheduling constraints to get the work done as soon as possible. We apologize for attempting to meet these tough scheduling conditions. In hindsight we should not have set any expectations to get this job done within these time constraints. Our prices in downtown Boston are fair and reasonable considering the liablity and exposure we incurr when performing our services in this area.

It turned out that the main chimney didn't need any cleaning because we don't burn that many fires and we use clean wood. The boiler flue needed a yearly clean-up. They didn't do much because it was a small job. They seemed honest. They could have told me my chimney needed to be cleaned when it didn't. I don't think I can comment on the price because I didn't get any competitive quotes. They were very responsive. They called back right away and got over here right away. They were very quick. They were right on time. They were very well-organized. The guys were very professional. Their offices were professional. I will probably be calling them again.
Description of Work: We used Master Chimney Sweepers to do a cleaning of the boiler flue and to do an inspection of the main chimney. They came out in November 2009.
