Get matched with top chimney or fireplace pros in Boston, MA

"My Pro did a great job on my fireplce and chimney. He repaired my chimney and placed a topper on it plus cleaned out my chimney and fireplce. I would recommed this Pro to anyone who needs work done on their fireplace/chimney. 5 Stars"

"The team came promptly and were very efficient. All 3 chimneys were inspected and cleaned quickly. They cleaned up everything and there was no mess. I would absolutely hire them again."

"Called to get a quote on sweeping the chimney, and also replacing an existing cap that had fallen off. They called back quickly, but quoted a price of about $375 (after Angie's List discount) for the cleaning, and another $350 to replace the cap. Called Downeast for another quote, and they said $275 for the cleaning, and "while we're up there we'll just put the cap back on." (Downeast ended up charging just $175, because they inspected it and said it didn't need cleaning, so just charged for the visit and replacing the cap.)"

"We'd been using our fireplace successfully for years, but last winter, things got really smokey, so we had to quit using it. Before this coming winter, I really wanted to get it checked out, since the fireplace is my favorite feature of our house, and I love a nice fire on a wintery night. I was afraid there was a bird's nest blocking the chimney or something. And a creosote log didn't work at all. 

The guys from 5 Star showed up on time, moved furniture, and laid down blankets to protect my carpet. Then they inspected the fireplace and chimney really professionally. They said it was safe, just really dirty. So they put their big vacuum cleaner brush to work and had so much dirt coming down, I was amazed. They cleaned it all up, worked really fast and efficiently, and before I knew it, they were done. They even gave me some bricks to prop the fireplace grate up higher and give us a better draft for the smoke. AND they cleaned the smoke residue off the paint on the front of the fireplace that had made us stop using it. I wasn't expecting that at all. 

Wonderful, fast work for a very reasonable price. We rent, so I was a bit worried about spending the money, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat."

"This Company is terrific. When the damage to the chimney was found during the cleaning we were shown pictures which clearly showed the damage. We asked for an estimate and it was send quickly and was a very good price. The team showed up on time and not only were they professional they were very personable. When done they explained what was done and actually showed us what had been taken down so we could see how bad the old chimney had gotten. We have now found our chimney company for future cleanings and repairs. Highly recommend."

"I learned that the flues did not need cleaning, but that there was about 4 feet of flue lining that was missing from the top of the chimney--there are ceramic tiles in there and for whatever reason, 4 ft were missing from the top. They replaced this with a liquid/concrete/solidifying material to seal/line the flues"

"Arrived promptly. Masked and cleanly presented. Work took a little longer than estimated but chimney had not been swept in years and there was a lot to clear. Cleaned up whole area and took debris away with him. Thorough, professional, didn’t try and sell me a new chimney liner! Lovely job. Would recommend/ use again."

"Very nice job. Worker explained and showed me what he was doing. Professional and courteous. This was a big job, was at home for 4 hrs. Great value. Only room for improvement was he did not clean and put back all registers. Highly recommend."

"Our chimney needed to be rebuilt from the roof up. We called Carl for an estimate and he sent someone out who gave a free verbal estimate of $1300.00. We scheduled the work and were told they would come out to do the project as soon as they could, as there were other projects ahead of us. The work was completed during three consecutive days by the same gentleman who came out the first time to give the verbal estimate. On the third day, when the work was completed, Carl's worker stated he would be collecting a check from us that day. He then asked what we were quoted on the formal estimate from the company. This came as a complete surprise to us as the only estimate we had ever received was the free, verbal estimate when he first visited our home. He then told my husband he was under the impression the total for the work came to $1800.00 and then he called Carl to confirm. Because of the miscommunication, Carl agreed to charge us $1350.00. This was a positive aspect in our dealings with the company, although they could have been more communicative and clear regarding a formal estimate in the first place. After the work was done, we noticed a lot of debris on our roof, including broken bricks and mortar from the old chimney. We also noticed that a large piece of mortar/cement had been left under our back deck as well as had been spread over parts of our foundation. We are assuming this was extra and the worker was trying to dispose of it. We also never received a receipt for the work. We should have asked for one when we gave him the check, but we were going out of town and were in a rush. Therefore, my husband called Carl multiple times the next week. Carl never answered his phone and his voicemail box was full every single time. My husband also sent an e-mail to the address listed on the company's website, detailing our concerns: 1) no receipt, 2) debris on the roof, and 3) a free cleaning of the chimney which had been part of a verbal agreement -- and my husband never heard back. Due to their unresponsiveness and the mess that was left at our home, we have given up on contacting this company and will be using a different company for any further chimney repairs or cleanings in the future."

"Very professional and thorough. They were able to figure out that my fire place kept going out because the bottom metal piece of my surround was getting too hot and making the safety switch shut off the fireplace. They are even going to find me a different metal piece that will allow for better airflow. Will definitely call them again for maintenance."
