Chimney Sweep Recommendation?

Question

Does anyone have a recommendation for a Chimney Sweep that you have worked with and consider to be dependable and cost - effective?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Alex Yost,

We've used The Mad Hatter.  http://themadhatter-nc.com/

We paid about $150 for a Level I sweep in our two story, masonry chimney.  They were prompt and clean.

Beware of those $40 prices you see online.  Many of them charge an additional fee over 10 feet, and some are scammers just looking to get in your house and try to tell you that you need a whole bunch of other services (that they can provide for an additional fee).

I would ask whoever you choose about how they clean the chimney, do they use a rotary brush, what dust containment they use, etc.  The pros will be able to answer and educate you, letting you know who is the real deal and who isn't.

@Alex Yost Chimneys are one of the items where I always recommend two quotes for a job (unless you have your "guy", and you obviously don't have your chimney guy yet...

Hey @Alex Yost. Colleagues of mine have recommended these two companies, although I have no personal experience with them. Good place to start - hope it's helpful.
