Fireplace cleaning and inspection, chimney/masonry repairs and restoration, chimney relining, commercial services, fireplace and stove sales and repair, gas logs and inserts, animal removal.
These guys were great; professional, tidy, friendly. My chimneys didn't need to be cleaned after examination, but they were very helpful in teaching me all about them, both gas and wood. They fixed up my gas fireplace, gave me the thumbs up to use the wood fireplace and repaired the chimney cap (sealing, sanding and painting instead of replacing). Good to go.

It has been about 10 years since we had the chimney checked. We only use the fireplace a few dozen times a year. While we weren't having problems with the chimney, we thought we had better get it checked out. I called for an appointment and found the receptionist to be very friendly and she scheduled me within the month, working around my time schedule. The 2 gentlemen arrived on time and introduced themselves. They removed their shoes at the door and laid floor coverings down and draped to make sure there was little or no mess. One was in the house at the fireplace, the other was on the roof. It only took about 25 minutes. They cleaned up and reviewed what they found. Turns out our chimney is fine. it might need some caulking when we have the roof reshingled. While $225 is expensive, it was better than us trying to do it ourselves. Our two story roof is steep and I had no desire to have my husband climb up there.
Description of Work: We had our chimney inspected and swept.

I've used B&B 3 times now and each time I have been very satisified. They performed a thorough cleaning and exam of the chimney, from both the inside and outside of the house, and they are extremely careful not to make a mess. I will continue to use them in the future.

The quote was really good. Professionalism was good and all that was good but their responsiveness was not great. When I called and left a message, he never called me back. I had to follow up like 3 times before I finally got the person to come and do the quote.

Everyone in Grand Rapids raves about B and B Chimney Sweeps. My home inspector also recommended I use them; however, I have left three messages at various times. Nobody has ever answered the phone OR called me back. It seems odd given the fact that everyone loves this company. I will give them another try in the spring. Hopefully, we will be able to connect.

Eric was great, explained everything he did in detail and was extremely polite and neat. Laid down cloth so not to dirty carpet ,went up on roof to inspect and also fixed my damper chain. They are booked and takes a few weeks to get appointment so I assume from what was done for me they have repeat customers. That's why I marked responsiveness as fair. Would RECOMMEND them.

This was my first experience with a chimney sweep service as this is my first home with a fireplace. I was disappointed that they didn't explain to me what they did, what was specifically inspected, and what the final evaluation was. I had to ask them if everything was ok as they were heading out the door. On a better note, they did show up very promptly and were pleasant. They also took good care not to 'dirty' up the carpets or any areas of my house.
Description of Work: I was scheduled for their full inspection which included a chimney inspection and fireplace inspection.

Company rep was prompt, courteous and thorough. Chimney apparently had never been cleaned since the house was built 28 years ago. He vacuumed both up and down the flue. We were very pleased with this service.

The company rep arrived early for his appointment and listened/looked to/at our description of the problem. We expected a rate of $65.00 for a house call and for $140.00, Band B cleaned out the woodburning chamber and removed the Heatilator sides and back to clean behind them, as well. We discovered that there was creosote dust behind the wall, so the entire area was cleaned and sealed where walls and flooring met to avoid any future accumulation of dust. Larry, the technician, was courteous, knowledgeable, and did an outstanding job of cleaning the dust and leaving the fireplace area spotless when he finished. The whole process took a little over an hour and we were glad to discover that the problem was not more serious.
Description of Work: We called B&B after discovering creosote dust below the grate chamber in our fireplace. They promptly came to investigate and assess the problem. Judy, to whom we spoke on the phone, was knowledgeable and set up an appointment speedily and at our convenience.

We were a little surprised at the high price for everything they did for us that day but we felt they were very professional. They laid down mats before they worked, cleaned up extremely well and were in and out of the house in a couple of hours.
Description of Work: They cleaned out our entire fireplace and flue using a brush and vacuum system. They noticed that I needed to replace the cap system on the top of the chimney, so I had that done as well.
