"I called for a free estimate, Justin came promtly and inspected the chimey. He showed me pictures of the problems and spelled out all the options. I explained to him that my cellar has floode due the problems and was anxious to get the repairs done. Justin quoted a price that was fair and much lower then any other estimates. To my surprise he said that he could do the job that day. He kept sending me pictures as the work progressed so I knew exactlywhat he was doing. He was professional and honest about what needed to be done. I was more then pleased with him and the company. I highly recommend .Chimneys are us."

"This fall 2016 when I turned on the heat at our house in Manchester, NH our carbon monoxide detectors went off. I called my plumber who came with a carbon monoxide detector to inspect. The plumber told me that the appliances, boiler and hot water heater, were fine, but the chimney was blocked. I called John Baker of Baker Brick & Block to unblock the chimney. We scheduled an appointment that he never showed up for and never called to cancel. Earlier that day he texted me to say he was running late, but never showed up and never contacted me to cancel. John responded to my texts and phone calls two days later and we made another appointment. He and another man arrived and worked on the chimney. When they finished they told me it was cleared and I could put the heat on. I did, it smelled, but they said that was fine. I paid them, they left. Five to ten minutes after they left the carbon monoxide detectors went off. I immediately called John, he said he couldn't come back right then and explained that the chimney was clear and another problem must exist. I turned the heat off, aired out the house. Two days later another guy came out, said there was no draft in the chimney, it was blocked. He cleared it and the heat has been working great since. I asked him if the chimney could have blocked again since John Baker was here. He said, no the blockage was old and had been there a while. He explained that not only did they clear the chimney, but they also removed a loose crown, which could have fallen in after they left, but they took it down to prevent it from falling in and blocking the chimney again. He also showed me before and after pictures he took of my blocked and then unblocked chimney. John Baker took my payment and didn't clear the chimney as he said he did. He ignored my follow-up calls and texts requesting he return my money. Avoid John Baker at all costs. Also, know Baker moved from Concord, NH to Manchester, NH."

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.
