They were running ahead of schedule and called me time to ask if they could come an hour earlier than planned, which worked well for us. I really appreciated the heads up rather than just showing up early. When they arrived, they got right down to business and did a great job cleaning the chimney while keeping our house clean in the process. I was amazed at the amount of dirt they removed from our chimney. They quoted a price of $185 when I made the appointment and that's exactly what I paid. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

They did a great job, and I was happy with them. They were in and out pretty quickly and did not make a mess. Their price seemed to be average. I would use them again in the future if necessary.

Tom Tainter provided two references in the local real estate business. Both spoke highly of The Chimney Sweep, praising his honesty and reliability. Both had referred 30 or 40 jobs to Tom over a period of more than 10 years. The Chimney Sweep came back on a Saturday to complete the job when rains delayed finishing the work. Tom's work was thorough and as quoted, with no surprises. He even installed a 2nd story gutter screen for me at no additional charge because he had the ladder required!
Description of Work: Removed and replaced crown, rebuilt top 3 courses, plus several lower corner bricks, damaged at the top of our 2-story chimney by freeze/thaw spalling. Applied water repellent to entire chimney.
