"They (Terry Martin, Heritage Chimney Sweeps) never finished the job, and the work that he did finish was questionable and will need to be reviewed by a qualified chimney professional before the supplier of the liner, HomeSaver, will warranty the work. They damaged our roof by allowing large chunks of concrete to fall onto it during demolition of the crown. After starting the job on the first day 11/14, for three days in a row, he didn't show up or return my calls, each time sending me an e-mail or text at the end of the day or next morning telling me that they were sorry and would be there the next day to finish up. Terry told me, in writing, multiple times that this was a one-day job, two days maximum, but after seven days, he didn't finish. He knew that this is a cottage that gets shut down for the winter, so it was essential that he finish before I shut the place down at the end of November. Of course, he promised to finish up after he got back from his Thanksgiving vacation but never finished, and it gets even worse. On 12/3 Terry contacted me to ask if the power was on and if he could get onsite to finish the job: pour the concrete crown, seal the damper, and clean up the concrete and brick debris from he roof and yard. I told him that he could work on the exterior to finish, but the power was off as the place was shut down for the winter. He said that he needed power to finish up the concrete (a detail that he never mentioned previously) so he could only clean up the debris. I told him to get a generator if he needed power, as he had committed to finishing this job by 11/15 and was already weeks late. I gave him the option of finishing within one week or I'd have to get someone else to do it, and we'd be done doing business. On 12/6 Terry e-mailed me to tell me that he wouldn't be working for me anymore, because I was "too demanding" and that he went out to the cottage and removed the new damper that he had installed because of a "possible flaw." In addition, he said he'd be holding the warranty cards for the new liner until we paid him $737.50 for a total of $3050 ($2312.50 deposit paid up front.) Since that time, I spoke with HomeSaver, the manufacturer of the liner and damper, and found that the warranty cards were not necessary, so Terry couldn't hold us hostage for the warranty. In addition, he hasn't returned the damper that he removed with the "possible flaw" to HomeSaver, though it has a lifetime warranty and retail price of $575 (which means he was lying about the "possible flaw.") I also reviewed HomeSaver's instruction manual and researched the rest of the work and found potentially serious problems with Terry's work. The instructions clearly state that cracks in masonry should be sealed to keep out moisture before installing the liner and installation, but Terry didn't do this and only quoted it as an option. He cut the stainless steel liner in half, because it was too heavy and awkward to install it by himself in one piece (his helper didn't show up that day), and he joined it with an ordinary stainless steel band. This is not recommended by HomeSaver, and the joint will need to be inspected by a professional before they will warranty it. He tried to install the liner before all the flue tiles were removed, and left the liner in place while demolishing remaining tiles. The sharp bits may have damaged the liner during this process, which is another reason the liner must be inspected (it may be damaged and unusable.) He later removed chimney bricks and then replaced them in order to access the remaining tiles, but didn't make any accommodations for mortar set in the cold weather. These bricks may need to be removed and relayed because the mortar may not have set properly. On 1/10 Terry threatened to take us to small claims court and put a lien on our property because we haven't paid the $737.50 that he thinks we owe, reminding us how "patient" he has been. Of course, a contractor must finish the job (and do it correctly) to place a lien on a property, and Terry has done neither. I'll update this after the job is completed by other contractors."

While it’s possible to sweep your own chimney, it’s usually not a good idea for two reasons. First, inexperienced DIYers are more likely to miss areas of the chimney, which still leaves the risk of house fire due to the remaining residue. Second, chimney sweeping seems like a simple process, but it’s highly dangerous. Soot and creosote are both carcinogenic and can cause breathing issues and lung damage. If you don’t take the same safety precautions that professionals do, you could be putting yourself at risk of serious bodily harm.
You should plan to ask your chimney sweeper questions about the cleaning process they intend to use, the project timeline, and more to get a sense of which professional is right for the job:
What is your process for cleaning chimneys?
How long will the process take?
Will you protect my floors from soot and debris?
Will you do a chimney inspection, too?
Do you have certification from the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) or the National Fire Institute (NFI)?
Will you need access to my roof?
The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.
In some cases, you don’t need to do anything to prepare for chimney sweeping, but professionals always appreciate leaving the area clean and easy to access. As such, it’s a good idea to move fireplace accessories like screens and fire tending tools out of the way, and lay down tarps of drop cloths around your fireplace opening to help keep your floors clean. Laying down a plastic sheet under those cloths or tarps is a good idea if your fireplace is surrounded by carpeting, just to add extra protection. Finally, secure any pets or children away from the work area.
The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
