Hi-
I am wondering if anyone knows of a chimney professional that they would recommend. I need a damper replaced and probably need to have the chimney swept, but I need someone honest and competent to tell me.

Thanks
OS

As soon as I moved into my new house, I called Best Chimney Services out of Waltham to clean my chimneys. They came to examine them and said neither needed to be cleaned. They left a detailed inspection and condition report and charged me $99 for the service call for 2 chimneys. I think it was something like $69 for the 1st chimney and $30 for the 2nd. I can't speak to the quality of their work since I didn't have anything done, but they are definitely honest.

At my old house i used Chim Chimney every year to clean the chimneys. They are cheap, but the quality was just average. I also used them to repair my crown. I got several estimates from $525 to over $1000. Theirs was the cheapest by a few hundred bucks.

Thank you! I just learned today that I will probably need a liner too. That might wind up being a DIY project, if my homeowner insurance co. is ok with that.
