American Chimney Sweep

Alex is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. He did a full inspection to identify any deficiencies with our chimney and explained everything clearly. He also did a full sweep and did not leave a mark anywhere. Highly recommended and well priced.

Incredibly impressed with their customer service! I needed major cleaning for my chimney and after doing some research I’m glad I chose American Chimney Sweep to do the job. It’s always a scary thought to have strangers come into your house, but I have to say the employees are extremely respectful and trust worthy. After having their service I could sit back and enjoy my fireplace.
Definitely will make these guys my go-​to chimney/​construction company.

Beyond zero stars. Definitely do not schedule an appointment with this sorry excuse for a business. I had my time slot booked and confirmed and no one showed up or called. When I called to check on why no one was arriving there was no answer and the voicemail was full — could not even leave a message. This is not ok and highly unprofessional to waste my valuable time and to not even have the decency to call to explain why. Other reviews here have stated they had similar experiences. It’s simply not okay. Saturday is one of my two days off in the week — thanks to these inconsiderate jokers it was totally wasted.

Alex was great. He was knowledgeable and helpful. Need my chimney inspected and clean and to install and chimney cap. The chimney hasn’t been used in years and we just purchased the house, so upon inspection, there had to be repairs made to the smoke chamber. He walked me through everything and had the job completed in one day. He was really great to work with and recommend him for anyone needed chimney repair.

ALEX is absolutely incredible! He is knowledgeable, helpful, professional and extremely courteous. His troubleshooting is efficient and his solutions are quick. Highly recommended!

First I want to tell you to go ahead and call Alex!!! These people are amazing! We just recently purchased a home with a fire place and couldn’t wait to light our first fire! During the inspection of the house we realized the chimney needed a lot of work before we could use it. After asking several people who own a home who they would recommend, I was surprised to hear the same name from 4 out of 5 of them! Alex was the person I should call. I went over all the results of the inspection and he put me at ease. I would HIGHLY a recommend them!!! They were quick, extremely clean and restored our chimney to the original beauty it was. My husband and I have enjoyed the many fires, don’t hesitate! Give them a call!!!

Alex was scheduled to come to my house on a Saturday morning and did not show on the scheduled time. I called him one hour later and he said I was not put on the schedule. He apologized and said he would give me a discount for my inconvenience. He came Saturday afternoon and did a good job. However, I only got a few dollars of the estimated price he gave me over the phone. Alex recommended additional work to the fireplace and I scheduled for him to return on Wednesday. Again, he did not show. I called him later Wednesday evening and got voicemail. I left a message asking what happened. To date, he has not returned my call. For future customers, good luck on getting Alex to show as scheduled and/​or returning phone calls.

Since then the owner Alexandra has responded to resolve the issue. Will update again.

We ordered a chimney inspection before home purchasing. Due to some mishap, the inspector wasn’t able to arrive on time. However, the owner was very responsive and arranged another inspector from far away. The inspector arrived an hour late, but we are glad that it worked out. The inspection took a very short time because we were not able to get roof access, but all in all the inspection was well done. The owner/​person-​in-​charge gave us a 20% discount for the late-​arrival and the delay, which is a very nice touch.
We have to follow up to get the official chimney report after a few emails.
However, as of this date after 2 weeks post-​inspection, we still did not receive the chimney report with photos, despite 30+ phone calls and 5 emails.
We paid $ 195 for a 5 – 10 minute inspection, and feel that at least we deserve the few photos that come with the report.

I called American Chimney Sweep based on the positive reviews. It was a pleasure to work with Alex and his professional team, they were prompt and pleasant. We had a chimney inspection, a cleaning and some repairs. (replaced and refillled damaged mortar and brick) When we purchased our older home, we knew our chimney needed some TLC. The inspection revealed some water damage. (Our chimney top did not have a lid to keep rain water out. Alex was very knowledgeable and addressed all of our questions. My husband and I were very satisfied with Alex and his team. We would use American Chimney Sweep again. Alex, also gave us an excellent referral for a designer who specializes in fireplace and fire glass design. Our fireplace now looks modern and beautiful! We love it.

Alex and his crew just finished a complete chimney teardown and rebuild for us. The work was needed after earthquake damage that happened years ago. Alex and his guys are true professionals. The finished work looks great. They were on time and on budget. The work area was kept clean. My schedule was always taken into account during the project too. I got many bids on the work and Alex’s price was very fair. One satisfied customer!

We just bought a new house, and never got around to having the fireplace fully inspected/​cleaned. For $ 135, American Chimney Sweep did like a great job so that we felt comfortable using our gas fireplace. We had some piping that got tightened, and got some basic advice on how to care for and use the fireplace. The guy they sent (forget his name) was super easy to work with, friendly, and and showed up on time and cleaned up after himself. Would definitely use again!

Another 5 Star review! This is our 4^th chimney sweep and will hopefully be the last and always. Quick scheduling, on time, personable, and clean. We had another chimney company come two days before and told us we had a huge crack in the chimney, we should not be using it, and that they do «expert relines» at around $ 3,000. Well, second opinion, please! American’s Jeff, said the fireplace and chimney were in good shape and let us know we might need certain repairs in the future. I like their style. A very good experience!

I would highly recommend Alex, he was professional and quick to solve our problem. He added a flu extension, new cap, chimney sweep and fixed the dampner. I found his pricing was very fair compared to the other 2 quotes I received. He showed up early to my house and was very clean while performing his job. I would have no problem referring business his way and will use him for all my chimney sweeps in future.

I am a big fan of American Chimney Sweep. Alex and his team take care of their clients as if they are his own family. For five years I have been terrified to use my fireplace because I didn’t trust it and after 1 hour with Alex, I would use it everyday, all day if i could! American Chimney Sweep is professional and on point every step of the way with extremely fair prices. Stop looking now and just book the appointment!

No question, American Chimney Sweep is who you need for the job! Jeff was professional, quick and knowledgeable. Outstanding company!

STOP. If you need your chimney attended to look no further. American Chimney Sweep is your answer. Alex and his team came to our home to repair a broken flu and dented lining in the chimney. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable and kept the work area neat and clean. You wouldn’t even know they were here after they left. Also, we had a potential fire hazard in our chimney and Alex pinpointed the problem and prevented a possible disaster. In addition, they took pictures inside the chimney before and after to document the work. With Alex and his team you know you are in good hands. They answered all of our questions and showed us in detail how to operate the new flu. American Chimney Sweep, hands down, is the best and we would use them again for our annual cleaning and maintenance and/​or repairs.

I’m a REALTOR so when I have a fireplace or chimney show some problems on a home inspection, I need to get someone knowledgable out there to make sure my clients interests are protected (and so I know I won’t get sued later!) Alex at American Chimney Sweep is always professional, his expert opinion has helped me get many serious issues corrected for my clients, and his prices are very reasonable too. I’ve used Alex’s services many, many times over the last several years. My clients have always been delighted with him too, which is important to me. I highly recommend American Chimney Sweep if you have any fireplace or chimney cleaning, inspection or repair needs.
