Business highlights
44 years of trusted experience
Services we offer
Clean & inspect chimneys, install wood & pellet stoves & gas fireplace inserts. Install new fireplace doors, rebuild fire boxes, reline & rebuild chimneys, tuck point & waterproof chimneys. Install rain caps, clean dryer vents & air ducts.
The old fireplace was rusted and had to be replaced together with the flue and the covers at the top of the chimney. The project was done on time and at the cost within the limits quoted initially. There were no cost surprises at the end of the project. They also work with a credit company that can finance the project for a good deal (no interest for 18 months at that time). The team was professional and they finished the work on time (the actual work took about two days). The cost was maybe a bit more pricey than the average, but the job was well done and without extra costs or surprises at the end.
The technician was polite, on time, clean, accommodating, and friendly. I will hire the company again.

Excellent service at a reasonable price. We have used Clean Sweeps since 2001 for several years for Chimney Repair and cleaning. They have always done good work for us. When they did an expensive repair job for us in 2007 (over $2200), I worried that we were being sold more than needed. But that work solved our problems and has held up very well for many years now. We plan to keep using them.

The Clean Sweeps employee, Andy, was terrific. He was curious as to problems and solutions. He disassembled parts of the fireplace in order to clean it thoroughly. He had the right equipment. I was completely confident my fireplace was functional and safe as a result of his work. I recommend Clean Sweeps without reservation. Glenn Nelson
Description of Work: I hired Clean Sweeps of Michigan in July 2013 to clean and inspect a fireplace and chimney in a house I had recently purchased. I had previously hired Alpha and Omega Fireplace Contractors for this work, and they did only a cursory job so I needed someone else to do it well. The fireplace has a vent for outside air, and birds had nested in the air chamber. Other problems existed.

They said the entire chase cap on the roof needed replaced at a cost of over 800$ for stainless steel because of the rust and being 35 years old. They implied that it should not wait until spring but my inspection proved them wrong. I don't like strong armed tactics and their two hours of labor for two people to clean two chimneys is excessive when no replacement parts were involved. Cleaning the second chimney that will never be used should have a discounted price when we are considering removing the fireplace completely.
Description of Work: They cleaned and inspected with a camera both majestic fire place chimneys and said they would check the gas furnace chimney by removing the cap but they did not do that.

He said that he could not clean the chimney, because our old wood-burning fireplace insert did not meet current code. He said code now requires a chimney liner when using an insert, and we just have the insert. He said he would send an estimate for lining the chimney to code with the existing insert, and an alternative estimate for installing a new gas insert and liner. He noted that the chimney was fairly clean. He said the chimney cap was starting to deteriorate, and it would be a good idea to have the cap worked on sometime in the next couple of years, but there was nothing urgent about it. [It is my understanding that the law does not require updating existing facilities to current code, but I appreciate his professionalism in the matter, and he may have licensing reasons for not working on something that does not meet current code.] Since he was not cleaning the chimney, he did not charge anything for the visit.
Description of Work: Serviceman came to the house, and spent about 20 minutes examining our fireplace, chimney and basement ash area.

My chimney caused a bad odor (burned out fire smell) in my house, especially whenever the weather changed - which it did a lot this past winter/spring! I had another company provide a cleaning, video inspection, and proposal for chimney repairs (which I didn't like). I contacted Clean Sweeps for a second opinion. Cliff Slagle contacted me immediately. He didn't require me to have yet another inspection at an additional cost, but promptly reviewed my photos from the 1st inspection and provided an alternative recommendation for my chimney repair along with a written quotation. His solution was preferable to what had been suggested thus far. He even matched - and exceeded - a competitve quote; the work was scheduled promptly. They were accommodating of my work schedule and really made an effort to complete the work as my schedule dictated. Andy and the crew were clean, courteous, professional, hard-working and did an excellent job! I noted their materials were superior to what other companies had used in the past. When weather prevented final completion of the job, Cliff was quick to return and complete the work as soon as the weather allowed. I now have a fire-safe, odor-free, relined chimney, new crown cap and exterior damper, and the all the brickwork has been waterproofed. Clean Sweeps knows what they're doing, their services are fairly priced, and I'm very pleased. Thank you, Clean Sweeps!
Description of Work: I had my chimney flue completely relined, a new cement crown poured on the outside to facilitate proper rain run-off, an external damper/chimey cap installed and all the chimney bricks waterproofed.

Three years ago, this company sent a team to clean the chimney of our newly purchased home: they found serious problems, and suggested that we needed to fix them before using the fireplace. They gave us three options, and we decided to go with a new wood burning stove/fireplace, which, they promised, was powerful and efficient enough to heat the whole house. It was very pricey, but, in the end, well worth it. We adore our fireplace, and it really does an amazing job heating (though we don't use it to heat the whole house). All of the workers they've sent have been extremely courteous and knowledgeable. I find the reception staff a bit brusque on the phone, but the owner and his wife are a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend them -- and should note their honesty: they reduced the original bill when their worker realized that the outside problem with our chimney was less serious than originally thought. This saved us a couple of hundred dollars. Just be sure to print out the online coupons when they come to clean your chimney each year!
Description of Work: This company installed a wood burning fireplace three years ago and have perform regular annual maintenance since then (i.e., yearly cleanings). They also cleaned our ductwork.

The experience from initial contact, quotation, and through installation was professional and friendly. The installers were on time on the day scheduled. The hardware was as described, pricing reasonable. There were no surprises in the installation or in the final price. We paid exactly as it was quoted. The installation was done in a day. All was cleaned up after they finished. The unit looks great. It has been used almost every day since installation and performs as advertised. We wish we had done this sooner as it is much more efficient than the old fireplace.
Description of Work: We asked for a quotation to have a wood burning insert and new chimney lining installed inside of our old fireplace. We accepted the quote and the unit plus chimney lining was installed on 12/06/2010.
