Outstanding quality service came out on a Sunday to put top of my chimney back on. After calling on a Saturday. First time I used them and have not even received a bill yet. Dave and Max were great. Dave quoted me such a low price I said I would double that quote. Highly recommended Grady read more

Thanks for keeping my dryers vent clean and keeping my home safe . read more

These guys showed up early. They completed the cleaning in a timely manner and Kyle gave us some tips on using the fireplace. Both gentlemen were friendly and worked as a team. We will hold on to this # for future use! read more

Bakersfield Chimney - Fireplace Services Near Me - Bakersfield, California

The owner Dave came out & spent a total of 15 min to clean out my dryer vent; told us that the bvent cover was broke but did not offer to fix or replace. Told us he took a picture & would send it to us but never did. When asked how to replace he told us "just to go to Home Depot & get one". The following day we bought one but could not successfully replace it on the roof. Placed a phone call to ask him if he could please suggest a service to come out to do it he told me he "would get back to me" but never did. Found out that this was a common problem with him & also observed that the vent was not completely cleaned either after another provider swept again & released more material. Would not recommend this company again read more

If I could I would not give any stars. Dave came out and said it would be a while because he had knee replacement coming up and through the year and a half I've been working with Bakersfield Chimney I've gotten two visits and told I was very sorry. His daughter answered the phone a couple of times and sounds sincere but they're not. Simple replacement and they decided not to return my calls. I was even told by the second guy that came out that Dave gets embarrassed when he drops the ball and never calls because he got so many customers. Pretty sad when own employee admits to that. I wouldn't even recommend to someone I disliked! So I had this and now have that... Wow, I got a response within minutes of this post and now they want to charge me $1,500 more to move forward! Maybe it's business as usual... read more

I hired Bakersfield Chimney for a dryer vent clean out. I was able to get an appointment within 45 minutes on a Saturdayafternoon. Dave did a fantastic job. He's very cordial and professional. He explained the clean out process and finished the job within 30 minutes. I'm extremely pleased with the result. Highly recommended! read more

Had a terrible time dealing with Michelle. Poor communication and was so rude she hung up because I questioned who had serviced my wood stove. She said I had talked to her manager three times, but I had never spoke to him. She finally hung up on me and text my phone asking me to apologize. After I quit laughing I responded and then blocked her on my phone. She alone with her attitude is why I would never do business with them. First impressions last forever. read more

Wife wanted the chimney swept. No big deal right? The owner showed up swept up a few ashes from the basin of the fireplace and broke my gas piping. Didn't say anything and left. When I finally was able to get ahold of him he called me an ass for questioning his expertise and the quoted me a charge to fix what he broke. No thanks. His visit is going to cost me money. I'd rather give my money to anybody else than this business. read more

Very satisfied, and also cleaned after. He even wiped down my washing machine. My clothes dry faster now!

Fast friendly service. Would recommend this company if you need your chimney serviced... Thank you!!!!

Since I won't really need his services again for a decade, I figured the least I can do is write a review to help other Bakersfieldians find a good fireplace guy. And speaking as someone who *needed* chimney-related services, I know that there isn't much info about it here in town, so this review will hopefully be helpful! When I moved into my house 3 years ago, I knew it had a fireplace (that passed inspection), but beyond that, I had literally zero knowledge of its status beyond that. And because I'm totally incompetent when it comes to fireplace care (don't judge me!), I figured it would be easier (and cheaper!) to just let the fireplace sit there with the plant the real estate agent put in it. Three years later, I decided it would be nice to have a roaring fire on Thanksgiving. So, like a grown up, I gritted my teeth and called a professional, full well expecting this adventure to cost me approximately an arm and a leg. When I spoke to the gentleman at Bakersfield Chimney, these fears were put to rest: $95 if it needs cleaning and, if it doesn't, he wont charge me to come out. How many home-repair folks would do that? A plumber or an electrician will totally charge you for their time if they come out for nothing, so it's tremendously nice of Bakersfield Chimney not to charge if it turns out you're fine. He was able to come by the next morning, which is great. In the meantime, I popped over to Lowe's and picked up a set of vented gas logs, so I don't have to worry about wood, no burn days, and cleaning the fireplace. $150 well spent for the lazy homeowner, let me tell you. When Bakersfield Chimney came out this morning, I sprung on him the new logs and asked if he could install them. I knew he'd charge for this, but it was far more reasonable than expected: $75. He did a great job, too- everything looks nice and is working beautifully. So, if you need a chimney sweep or any fireplace related repairs, definitely give Bakersfield Chimney a call. They were quick, friendly, and totally reasonably priced. read more

Called to get my chimney cleaned and inspected. They were friendly on the phone and were scheduled to come out an hour later. Price was decent (below average compared to a google search). The guy they sent was very professional at the house. Kept the work area clean. Fast and efficient. More than willing to answer all my questions. Would definitely recommend to a friend. read more

Called about 10 30a for an appointment, David said he had the same afternoon available for an appointment , I suggested 2pm. 2pm came and went, called him back about 2 45p to ask if he was still coming. No answer. Text him. No answer. Unreliable read more

Wow, color me impressed. I called Dave this morning about my clogged dryer vents. I was really thinking I was looking at a new dryer. Dave came out the same morning and cleaned out my horribly clogged dryer vent....now it's flowing free and the dryer is working like new! read more

Cleaned out the lint trap in and out. Service was great and he was very punctual. I will be using this company every six months to make sure that my dryer is worked my at optimal capacity. read more

I had an appointment scheduled and after they were late I called and was told someone was on their way. An hour later I spoke to Wade again and he said someone was on their way and should be there. I said I would wait for their arrival. Nobody showed up all day. Nobody called to reschedule or provide update. read more

We called this company today to get a quote on cleaning the dryer vent which is on the roof. They provided a reasonable quote and Ken was at our door within an hour of our call. He was very professional and quick. The vent was very dirty and blocked. Once Ken cleaned the vent the dryer started working again. Thank you for prompt attention and great service. Would recommend this company. read more

The guy didn't seem to care about my repair needs. Wouldn't get back to me so I had to be persistent. Would give me a time or date and nothing would happen. Gave me a repair bid 5 times higher than what it cost me to have the work done by someone else. read more

Dave is a perfectionist and provides superb customer care for helping choose the best fireplace insert, installation, and service. - Marty

This is a great company, they have swept my home twice. Today they came out to clean my dryer vents. The dry vent was burning lent because it was so full. YUCK! The chimney sweeper was professional and quick. He went into the attic and found that the piping was dislocated he put in new piping and a new cap on my roof. Excellent work. I will be calling them next year for the vent cleaning. read more

Excellent customer service. Wade assessed my problem and completed the repair. He assisted with starting a test fire. Chimney now functions great. read more

I called three different Bakersfield companies and received a two week date for service. I called Bakersfield Chimney. They came the same day and serviced our gas insert, swept the chimney, and cleaned the dryer vent. I received three services from one company. Bakersfield Chimney was fast, clean, efficient, reasonably priced, and they did an outstanding job. I am so glad I found them in an ad in the Bakersfield Californian! I will definitely use them next year! read more

Quick and professional. Wade was very knowledgable and nice. Arrived within an hour of my first call.

After calling around town this morning looking for someone to service our gas fireplace I found Bakersfield Chimney from google and decided to give them a call. They were cheaper than the others I called and were able to schedule me for service same day! They are so nice, knowledgeable and he didn't mind me asking a million questions on how our fireplace works! You have a forever customer! GREAT customer service! read more

I just had Bakersfield Chimney come out just last weekend since I purchased a home and needed the chimney swept as well as have a spark arrestor installed. I hadn't really heard of any chimney sweeping companies in Bakersfield, so I took to the Internet and searched. Bakersfield Chimney is one of a short list of companies that came up in my search. So, since there was a good review already on yelp, I figured I'd give it a shot. I would highly recommend Bakersfield Chimney to anyone who needs their chimney serviced. A man named Matt came out to my house and was very friendly and quick. One of my main concerns was that I didn't want to get soot anywhere but Matt was very clean as well. He laid out a tarp and was in and out soon. The pricing was very reasonable as well. they charged me $210 to have the chimney swept and spark arrestor installed. I hope that this review will help anyone else who is searching for a good, reliable chimney sweep company! If I ever need it again in the future, I'll definitely use Bakersfield Chimney again. read more
