Paul and his son Vinnie came to my home to fix a chimney shroud that had broken and a chimney cap that was loose due to the heavy winds in Simi. Because he was already in the neighborhood on another job, he did not charge me a service call fee for an estimate like many other companies do. He inspected the chimney and pointed out that the shroud served no purpose other than cosmetic. He pointed out the pros and cons to replacing the shroud. In the end, I decided not to replace the shroud. This saved me hundreds of dollars. I admired Paul's honesty and integrity. He could have not advised me of this and I would have spend hundreds of dollars needlessly. Additionally, once Paul repaired the loose chimney cap, he found that a funnel inside the chimney had completely come off and slip partially down the chimney chute. He fixed that at no extra charge, and he painted my chimney cap to match the chimney (since the shroud no longer hid it from view) also at no extra charge. Not only are Paul and his son personable and easy to get along with, they are extremely honest and "up front". No hidden costs or surprises. They were punctual, reliable, and fast working. I highly recommend them for your chimney needs. read more

We called them out to verify that our chimney was in good shape since we haven't used since the Northridge earthquake. They were able to fit us in, they came out when it was raining and we were given a clean bill of health. At the same time we asked about installing a rain cap/spark arrester so we arranged for them to come to install that at a later date. This company extremely reliable and always call before arriving and are always on time. We will be having come out and patch some cracks on the cap and then seal it. read more

Reliable and affordable with great service. He charges one price regardless of where the vent is, and regardless of how far it is.

Paul and his assistant were incredible! I've been looking for someone to clean my dryer vent for weeks, but no one would service it because of the height. These guys were super friendly and efficient. Paul informed me of what they were doing at each step and answered all of my questions. Just ran my dryer and the sensors show its all clear! Seriously, don't bother going anywhere else. These guys are honest and do great work. Thanks Paul! read more

Paul was awesome! We needed to get our fireplace checked and cleaned, so we looked and found him on Yelp. He was prompt to call back and Set up an appointment within two days. He came in with his colleague and was SO INFORMATIVE! He gave me ideas when I asked for them and didn't try to sell me on products. He told me where good deals were and offered to help me when the time came. I cannot recommend him enough and we will use him for all our chimney/fireplace needs! Thanks Paul! read more

I am beyond pleased with Paul and his friendliness and professionalism. He and his helper were fast, clean, and very knowledgeable. He taught us the right way to have a fire and to use our fireplace. He even explained a few things to my husband to take care instead of trying to get more work and money out of us. He is very honest and reasonable. I highly recommend him. read more

Paul was very quick and responsive to my request through yelp! When he arrived, he was very informative and gave me important information on my fireplace and chimney. During the inspection, he was very thorough and clean. He inspected the chimney, and noticed that we had a few cracks in our fireplace as well as the chimney. He let us know that it needed to be fixed prior to using it again because it is a possible fire hazard. He cleaned the fireplace up from all the previous dust and dirt, and wrote out a list on the information we needed for a potential chimney fix. Thank you! read more

So glad we went with these guys. Paul was friendly, honest and so helpful. We originally had him come out to look at our chimney as we thought we might have a problem. Paul didn't find anything wrong and didn't want to charge us the full amount, but while he was here I asked him to look at our dryer vent as I had heard that needs to be looked at and thought I might as well while they were here. Good thing cause it was so full and could have potentially caused a fire. Paul ended up just charging us for cleaning out the vent and not for looking into our chimney. read more

Paul, was very professional and easy to communicate with. He was thorough, personable and took his time to explain things. We would definitely recommend him! read more

Very professional, good communication, on time, and did a thorough job leaving our home very clean.

Paul and Tristan gave us a quote lower than the competition, showed up on time and cleaned our gas fireplace which had been filling the house with fumes (turns out the 'damper' was in the off position, they also put a stopper clamp on it so this doesn't happen again). There was absolutely no mess (all we had to do was move the decorations from in front of it), they laid down a large tarp to protect the carpet and they were done in 30 min. read more

Both guys are personable and very thorough with explanations of what needed to be done and the preventative measures going forward.

We recently purchased a home that had two fireplaces, not knowing their condition and knowing the hard piped dryer vent needed to be cleaned I began searching on Yelp. After reading really good reviews, I gave Paul a call. He quickly returned my call and was extremely professional on the phone and in person. He was so knowledgable about fireplaces and potential hazards. He informed me only one fireplace needed to be cleaned which I thought was great. Our dryer vent was filthy, amazing how much came out of it! So glad it no longer takes more than one cycle to dry a load of towels. I also explained how I was a first time fireplace owner with little experience and he told me which type of wood to burn or where I could find a quality gas log set if that's what we chose to use. I felt like I was speaking with an honest friend and really appreciated that. I will definitely give Paul a call for future cleanings and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends. read more

Paul & the team at American Chimney Sweep ate INCREDIBLE! I was so worried about calling a chimney sweep when we bought our first home & Paul was truly a godsend. He is very kind & welcoming, even from the "Chim-chim-a-nee" ring back tone on his phone line, to his professionalism, to his punctuality, & to the quality of his service. I will NEVER use another chimney sweep & I plan to have him clean our ducts this spring too. He's a family guy. This staff took extra care getting our spark arrester on, cleaning the chimney, & teaching me how to best care for my fireplace down to where & how to position the wood in the fireplace. I was so impressed with how kind & warm he was. My husband wasn't at home when they came to work on the fireplace but Paul instantly made me so comfortable with his genuine professionalism & care. Thank you, Paul!!!!! read more

Excellent service from Paul and Eric. Found them on google and read good reviews on yelp. Needed my dryer duct cleaned and Paul returned my call promptly. Left a detailed message on my voicemail which I appreciated. Decided to also have chimney sweep service along with dryer duct and was offered a package rate which was the most reasonable I had found. Communication was excellent and suggested maintenance tips were appreciated! read more

My husband and I recently purchased a twenty year old home and were not sure if anyone had ever cleaned the air ducts or dryer vent. After the cleaning found drywall in the ducts that we would have been breathing it was the best money we spent, as well as cleaning out tons of stuff from the dryer vent that was a potential fire hazard. Additionally, Paul is very knowledgeable about his field and saved us hundreds of dollars regarding our fireplace updates. The pricing is competitive to other vendors we checked (if not better) and they were honest on what did and did not need to be done. Finally I'd like to mention our house was just painted prior to the cleaning and they were very careful to preserve our paint job during their work. read more
