"Every step of the way was above expectations. Scheduling was easy, I was notified of ETA, and Al, our technician, was prompt and thorough. We needed our gas fireplace cleaned, and the job was done thoroughly, carefully, and efficiently. Our 25+ year old fireplace now functions perfectly and looks amazing. Can’t beat the price. 10/10 recommend."

"commination difficult with tech who showed up although friendly and professional. And I expected more for the $139 than a vacuum hooked up to one vent to suck out dust. Did ask if additional cleaning was wanted for an additional $50 a vent. which, in my case, could have cost up to $1,000. Tech did show me how to take old vents off properly instead of damaging my walls, which I appreciated. My vents were extremely filthy, so my expectations were probably too high."

"Matt from Master Chimney Sweepers performed work on our home to inspect and clean the liner, which had been installed by a different company. Upon completion of the project, Matt showed us photos of the chimney and informed us that due to age and deterioration, the chimney needed to be repointed. Matt was professional, courteous and diligent. He arrived on time, kept us informed of the project, and took care to clean the work area upon completion. We highly recommend Master Chimney Sweepers and Matt for chimney projects."

"These guys cared! through any obstacle that occurred a solution was quickly found to satisfy all!! Clean neat and respectful must be the motto of 5 Star. I highly recommend Jeff and his guy Sean. I had a chimney liner installed in my older home and they took care to leave it better than they found it. Some pointing was done as well at the top of the chimney that needed fix. I now look up with pride once again knowing the guys set me up for the next season change !"

"I bought a really nice regency gas fireplace from South Shore Fireplace and couldn't have been happier with the way they treated me and completed the installation. They were the most attentive and considerate companies I approached which is why I went with them. We couldn't get the time of day from other fireplace stores. These guys were right on the ball from the start. Spent a lot of time going over the different stoves and options that go with them all. The installation was scheduled and went very well. Installers were very thorough and clean. This was a complete installation, needed the chimney as well as the stove. Everything was done perfectly and I couldn't be happier. Recently, the stove I picked had a recall and I was informed and updated by Scott as soon as he had news. This actually went on for a couple of months but Scott would contact me every couple of weeks and let me know what was going on. When the replacement part came in, they scheduled the work IMMEDIATELY and I met Jon, one of the senior techs and installers. Jon was on time, meticulous and thorough. Very clean and organized as you would expect a master craftsman to be. The repair went very well and made my stove run better than ever before. When your happy with a job someone does for you, you hardly ever write a review but something turns sour, people can't write one quick enough. When I need something done, I go online and read all the awful reviews of probably great companies so I do not hire them. This review is for all of you that are like me and come here to get the low down on a business. Do not hesitate to go with South Shore Fireplace. It is very hard to find craftsman who really care about what they do and also so nice to deal with. South Shore Fireplace will be my go to guys for the rest of my life. Love you guys - job well done and sincere thank you for your continued support throughout the years."

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."

"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."

FAQs for chimney or fireplace service projects in Boston, MA

Level one inspections take up to one hour and involve a thorough visual examination of the inner surfaces of your chimney. Level two inspections take about two hours and go beyond that with a look from the bottom to top to see if there’s any damage. Level three inspections can take days since they require the removal of building materials to assess severe damage.

A chimney inspection performed during a home inspection is a limited review that only highlights visible issues on the interior and exterior surfaces of your fireplace and chimney. This brief check does not cover in-depth structural or hidden defects. If there are concerns about chimney integrity or safety, a dedicated chimney inspection by a specialist is essential to identify significant problems.

Regular maintenance and cleaning of your chimney are important and must be performed at least once every year. Proper cleaning removes dangerous creosote and soot buildup that can cause fires and expose your home to harmful carbon monoxide. If you use your fireplace often, scheduling additional cleanings is necessary to maintain safety. Hiring a professional inspector ensures that every part of your chimney is thoroughly inspected and cleaned, preserving its performance and protecting your home.
