He is great and seems to love what he does. Serious about his job and informs you if something is wrong and will give u a quick maintenance lesson. And anyways on time and professional! read more

I got Chimney Sweep Bill on a referral from a friend. He was thorough, knowledgeable, clean and very personable. After cleaning our chimney he went over everything you should know about how to use your chimney and what wood to burn. I highly recommend Bill he was fantastic. read more

Bill runs and excellent business. I called and made an appoint for chimney cleaning, and he was here early the next day at 9A. He did a thorough job, gave helpful tips regarding the chimney damper and the heater / air conditioner, gave wood recommendations for good savings, and also gave me a full page list of of FAQs and answers most people wouldn't think to ask. Excellent thorough job. Thank you. read more

Bill was very quick to answer my query for an inspection and cleaning. I don't think the fireplace has been serviced since it got rebuilt after the Northridge quake (!) Bill and his assistant were very prompt, pleasant and professional, and not only got the flue cleaned out but the gas jets work great now and it looks fantastic. All at a very reasonable price! Thanks guys! read more

Excellent service and super helpful advice! Bill and his son were friendly, on time and very thorough. Highly recommended!!!

After having Bill sweep and install a chimney cap at my home a few years back, he was the only call I had to make when I had to do the same at one of my rental properties. Bill was able to take a look at the chimney using google earth and give me a very reasonable price over the phone. He updated me via text and accepted online payments through Venmo or Zelle making it an all around painless experience. He is super trustworthy, won't try and sell you anything you don't need and I felt 100% comfortable giving him the keypad code so he could do his work without me needing to be there. read more

During the process of buying our house, we had a chimney inspection done by a different company. They provided a report with a list of recommended repairs and an estimate over $1000 for the fixes! Knowing nothing about fireplaces or chimneys, I was really close to just hiring them and calling it a day. Decided to do some research and came across Bill's info. Gave him and ring and immediately was glad that I did. He proceeded to tell me a bit about the chimney industry and why I should be wary of some folks. I forwarded the report I had from the inspection and Bill told me that most of it was BS. For a fraction of the original estimated cost, Bill came out and performed his magic in less than an hour. It's summer so we have a while before we can test out our fireplace, but Bill got it all ready for us! Would definitely recommend Bill and will definitely be using him again in the future. read more

This is the second time I have used Bill to inspect and sweep my chimney. Always on time always professional always helpful. Service included thorough inspection of chimney as well as cleaning from top and bottom and a thorough clean up before he left. If you need your chimney swept this is definitely the guy to call. Let me know that my chimney spark arrestor was not up to code and offered to replace it... Or not... He said I could do it myself and we went online and took a look at what I can buy at Home Depot and let me know what to buy and that would it be easy to install. No upsell as you would expect from a professional. Thanks again Bill you're the best! read more

I called upon Bill because he had excellent reviews on Yelp. Now I know why. He was every bit as good as the reviews claim. Here are his best qualities: 1) He was on time and even a little early 2) He was super friendly 3) He did the job without leaving a mess 4) He pointed out certain things that were wrong with my fireplace, but did not pressure me to hire him to fix them 5) At my request, he was able to fix the problems 6) He left a sheet with fireplace tips. There were many things I didn't know before. I won't wait so long before calling Bill again. read more

We had Bill come out to clean/inspect our chimney and install a spark arrestor (rain cap). Bill was very communicative and punctual. Pricing was very reasonable. It was such a pleasant experience that I will be hiring Bill again for any future chimney needs. read more

I found Bill through our local homeowners association recommendations and so glad I did! What a nice guy! Set up an appointment promptly and showed up when he said he would--- wow, good old-fashioned reliability! It still exists! He and his son were courteous, helpful, worked quickly, and even fixed a broken part with no extra charge. What was especially pleasant for me was how easygoing he was with our puppy. We have a huge heavy gangly 7month old black lab who was slobbering all over him which usually annoys people but he reassured me it was fine and he truly seemed to enjoy her antics. Great service! I can definitely highly recommend chimney sweep bill! read more

Bill is awesome! He has been out to a few of my properties. He does A through inspection and explains everything to a T. If you have any additional questions he is more than happy to answer them for your. Thank you Bill for coming out and making sure everything was running probably on our new house fireplace. read more

Bill is the best chimney inspector I've ever used! He really knows his stuff and can quickly and accurately diagnose a problem. I've had other so-called chimney inspectors, including Boston Brick and Stone come and just eyeball a chimney and immediately call for a complete rebuild. Not Bill. He takes his time, looks at everything, and has a fair assessment of what must be done, what should be done, and what could be done. That is huge. My last client had him come and inspect an old chimney. Another company had called for a $12,000 rebuild but had never even gone on the roof to look at the whole thing. Bill came out, spent almost an hour looking at everything, and his recommendations for repairs were under $1000! He even went through the other company's report and addressed everything in detail, line by line. This guy really knows his stuff!! read more

We have been using Chimney Sweep Bill for the past 10 years. Bill is very thorough and polite - easy going. He totally knows what he is doing. During the 10 years we have had him come out, there has been only one thing that he recommended we do (fix) for safety reasons and that was during his initial visit. Our house had recently been completely renovated and I think he spotted something that the inspector did not and he fixed it for us and we have been very happy about that recommendation. As others have said, he always leaves us with a sheet of do's and don'ts for fireplaces and he updates it from time to time. I don't think this is his only job. I wouldn't say that he doesn't depend on this work or, on the other hand, that he just loves cleaning out people's chimney's but for some reason, I trust him and feel totally comfortable calling to schedule an appointment. Lastly, Bill also has a recommendation for firewood . I would imagine this changes from time to time but right now, he is recommending a guy named Kyle. I wish Kyle had a yelp account so that I could review him. Excellent firewood guy. (but ya gotta call and schedule an appointment with Chimney Sweep Bill to get that secret recommendation.) read more

I've actually had to call a few chimney guys in the last 8 years thanks to moving a couple of times. Bill is the only guy I'm gonna call from now on when I need help with my chimney. He's efficient, knowledgeable, and most importantly honest. He's a hoot to talk to too. Need your chimney cleaned or looked at? This is your guy. He's pretty popular so you may have to wait a little bit, but he's well worth it. read more

Bill and his son were selected by my husband based on Yelp reviews. After a little delay initially in getting a call back from his secretary / wife we got an appointment about a week out. He and his son arrived early and called to let me know hey had arrived. I was still out at the grocery store so they started set up after I returned their call. When I got home, he offered to carry in my groceries! Like everyone has said in other reviews,Bill and his son were neat, knowledgable and honest. We haven't used the fireplace and haven't had the chimney cleaned / inspected since escrow nearly 5 years ago and finally wanted to do a gas log conversion. Bill and his son helped us remove excess piping and told us quite honestly that it's a simple DIY job that my husband could handle and even said to make sure to get a log set soon since all the big box store stop carrying them by mid-February when spring merchandise arrives. He also said we could still call him if we changed our mind and wanted him to put the log set in. Overall he gave plenty of free, helpful advice and I would recommend him to my friends who need their chimney inspected and /or cleaned! read more

Chimney Sweep Bill - Bill and his son - Chimney Sweeps Near Me

Five stars are not enough for this pleasant lovely hard working delightful man. He came in my home this afternoon and did three fireplaces in a little over an hour. He was neat clean pleasant and personable. I hired him because I figured anyone that has as many Five Star Reviews all being very positive on Yelp must be truly amazing. That he was. I've never met a Chimney Sweep before today and I'm glad Bill was the first one I met and from now on the only one I'll use. Thanks for answering all my silly questions. It was a pleasure to meet you Bill, I'll see you in a cord of wood read more

Bill was running ahead of schedule so he offered to move up our appointment. Once he arrived he protected the workspace and got to work. He explained his process and left behind a printout of reminders and suggestions. I'll definitely call Bill for my next chimney sweep! read more

Bill was great. Decided on him to clean our chimney because his reviews were so awesome on yelp. His prices were great, he was honest about what areas needed to be addressed, and even fixed a few small repairs for free. I absolutely recommend Bill. read more

Excellent service!!! Thank you so much for your help and giving us the piece of mind that everything is fine with our gas fireplace. Bill is super friendly, knowledgable and on time. read more

Bill and his son went out of their way to provide me with all info regarding a wood burning gas fireplace. I knew next to nothing, being a first time home owner. They cleaned and replaced gas piping in little time and a thorough job at that. Friendly service, straight up pros. I'd recommend their service to everyone. read more

Bill and his son performed a chimney cleaning and inspection for my buyer client and it could not have gone more smoothly. They arrived on time, charged a fair price, and - pleasant surprise - found that the chimney was in good shape with just one minor recommendation! It's nice to see a family business do such professional, reliable work. read more

Bill did a great job on our fireplace. He removed lots of soot. It no longer stinks and burns a lot better. Will call him again.

Our gas fireplace was filling the house with a natural gas smell every time we used it. Called Bill and he was very responsive. Came out and said the fireplace just needed a cleaning from years of use. He cleaned the fireplace and installed new ember material. It looks fantastic now! Great service at a great price. read more

Cannot recommend Bill highly enough. After getting ripped off this past winter by an unscrupulous sweep (who didn't even clean the chimney well) I found Bill's reviews here on Yelp. He looked at my house on Google Earth, gave me a solid quote (and very reasonable!) right on the phone. He arrived on time, did the job with absolutely NO mess. Then he gave me tips on lighting fires, wood selection and how often to sweep (based on amount and type of wood burned, not just a generic "every year"). read more

Gave them a call and Bill came out to inspect and clean chimney within a couple days of an appointment. Found out we worked for the same place before. Service was great. Would definitely recommend! read more

Bill did a great job cleaning out and inspecting our gas-lit, wood-burning fireplace. He even got here a little early (which was better for me) and was done in less than 40 minutes, so now I for sure won't be late to work. He even spent 10 minutes teaching us about our fireplace (we just moved into this apartment and have never used it) and its idiosyncrasies. He was fast and efficient and very responsive during the booking process. Not to mention his quote was the most competitive of the 5 Yelp quotes I received. Thanks for helping us feel more at home in our place, Bill! We will toast you over our first fire of the season :-) read more

Chimney Sweep Bill to the rescue! He truly saved us from spending thousands of unnecessary repairs "recommended" by a previous chimney inspector. We had just purchase our new house and did a through house inspection as most people would do...to our dismay, the report was full of "recommendations" that would require thousands to repair. What do we do? Luckily, we turned to Yelp and found Chimney Sweep Bill! Bill came and did his cleaning+inspection, and told us that our chimney isn't in as bad of a shape as the report had made it seem. We opted for his recommendations and he was done in less than two hours! We really appreciate his honesty...this is what every merchant should be like! Honest and upfront...he doesn't trick you into paying more than you need to. Thank you so much, Bill! Now we can enjoy wonderful nights with our "new" fireplace when El Niño rolls around in the winter! read more

I called Bill on a Wednesday and he called me back the next day to set an appointment. We planned on Saturday at 10:30am and he showed up 20 minutes early. It took him less than an hour to clean and inspect our chimney. He was neat, clean and tidied up afterwards. I also had him install a spark arrestor on our chimney. All for a reasonable price. His advice was invaluable; we spoke about different kinds of wood and he even suggested a fire wood delivery man. Bill is a stand up guy, honest and forthcoming. I recommend him highly. read more

I have used Chimney Sweep Bill for 20 years. Always on time, clean, courteous, and knowledgeable. Great guy. Use him and you will happy you did! read more

Super nice guy, knowledgeable, efficient, reasonable rates and local. What more could you want? I will definitely use his services again in the future. read more

Perfect! No drama, no mess. On time, calm. Nice guy. I'd been dreading finding another sweep ever since the last one disappeared, and Bill (thanks, Yelp!) is the best. Set price, depending on one-story or two story. And he has another regular job with the city of Glendale, he says, so there are no exaggerations or scare stories about "necessary" improvements to your chimney. (If he said something needing fixing, I would listen.) Thanks, Bill! read more

We used Chimney Sweep Bill, not only to clean our chimney but also for a full inspection and minor repair of exterior cracks in existing chimney, and we couldn't be any more pleased with his honesty, communication skills, and professionalism. We highly recommend using Chimney Sweep Bill!!!! read more

I called Bill, knowing our chimney had issues based off escrow inspections. Bill is very knowledgeable he has 3 decades of experience. He was able to help us figure out solutions to what other so called "reputable" companies wanted to charge. He is a very nice and I will use him again next season. read more

I just want to begin by stating that I did not end up having to use Bill for any services, but he was so helpful to me with my fireplace issues that I felt compelled to write a review. I found him on yelp and called him because I was in escrow on my house and had gotten a physical inspection with several fireplace issues that I was concerned about. I knew nothing about fireplaces and Bill spent a good amount of time educating me on how things worked and what items on the report were essential to repair and which were not a big deal. He is extremely honest (pretty much told me I won't even need his services), very friendly, reliable in returning calls/emails, and was very knowledgeable about his line of work. He knew he wouldn't be getting any business from me and still took the time to help me! I can see why he has so many good reviews and I will definitely be using him should I need to in the future. read more

Bill was courteous, knowledgable and honest. He explained what he did, why he was doing it and what issues could wait - as opposed to tacking on extra services and fees. I mean, what do I know about fireplaces? It's all about trust and I trust Bill. He may be hard to book, but that's just because he's so good. BILL IS THE BEST! read more

Loved Chimney Sweep Bil! He worked quickly, was efficient, very knowledgable, and cleaned up after himself, leaving no mess or evidence of his being there. Also he was very friendly; we will definitely use him again in the future when the time arrises and recommend him to anyone needing a chimney sweep. read more

Chimney sweeps seem like such an old fashioned thing but if you have a fireplace you need to periodically have your chimney serviced. Bill and his son are a great team. They were punctual and professional. Took care to keep my house clean and even gave tips on how to light my fireplace to ensure the smoke goes up the chimney and not into the living room. read more

We highly recommend Chimney Sweep Bill. We called for an appointment and ended up leaving a message. Bill called us back right away. He quoted us a very reasonable price for the job we wanted done and our final bill was less than the quote. We set and appointment for the following Tuesday between 11:00 and 11:30. On Monday he sent us a reminder. Then, on Tuesday he called about 10:30 to say he was ahead of schedule and asked if he could come early. It worked out perfectly for us. Bill is delightful to talk to and is very knowledgeable about chimneys. He instructed us on the best procedure for lighting a fire in the fireplace and the best wood to use. When Bill was done, he left the work space spotless. We will definitely use Bill in the future. read more

When our chimney was inspected a few years ago, right when we were moving in, the chimney inspector gave us a sort of ominous warning. "I wouldn't ever light a fire in here," he said, "it's just not worth the risk." He recommended a new sleeve ($$$) even though the old one wasn't faulty, and then told us that he generally advises people to never use their fireplaces. Which is weird, because...well, he was a chimney inspector, so presumably he dealt mostly with people who were interested in lighting fires in their fireplaces. Anyway, it's been a mostly warm couple of years and fires haven't been a priority, but now that it's chilly and rainy we finally decided to have someone else come take a look at our chimney and clean it out, because WE SHAN'T LIVE IN FEAR ANY LONGER! Enter Bill (thanks Yelp!). He was prompt, the cleaning and check were easy and quick, and he and his son were ultra-nice and willing to talk tips and fire-making tricks. We got a handy sheet with a firewood supplier and a list of do's and don'ts so we don't end up with a house full of smoke. We had a couple of other bids from companies that were higher than Bill's, AND he brought in our trash cans after he tossed our broken chimney cap. That's just boundlessly polite and thoughtful. Also it was fun to talk about "Survivor" with Bill and his son...kind of made me wish they didn't have to go to Altadena for their next job because we were having fun hanging out with them. Highly recommended. Bill & son are wicked cool, professional and awesome. read more
