I called Matchbox Chimney sweeps in January 2026. Our chimneys spark cap was full of soot- so smoke was seeping into the house, through the 30'+ long pipe( inside our house w/vaulted ceilings) for our freestanding wood stove. Garren is the owner and only chimney /stove worker, his wife answers the phone and sets appointments. They were both professional, very knowledgeable, friendly/pleasant to work with, answered all my questions, and showed up the next day - after calling just before closing the day before. Our clogged cap came about because the previous chimney co. I hired- just sent a wire brush up the pipe in our house and called it Good. I had questioned them at the time how could they reach that high and really get the cap clean , he said they do it all the time : ( Garren did it right, and climbed on our steep roof, and even brought the cap down to give it a good scrub.... Too many fly by night companies who are in it for the volume and money to be made....This family company is the real deal, and I feel are very trustworthy, honest, and reasonable. I will only call Matchbox in the future to help with our woodstove needs. Hiring Matchbox Chimney Sweeps, was a Great experience and made 2 senior citizens very happy to have our fire back.

Had our duplex inspected today. Garren was very knowledgable about it's condition and even the construction. Ours was built before 1970s so its without the extra chimney tile liner. He gave us ideas and several options if we use it, and most importantly how to enjoy our specific type of fireplaces. Overall 5 star review to keep us safe in our house. Knowledgeable and super nice and the bonus is he has special chimney credentials so we KNOW he is a legit pro! Highly recommend this business to anyone needing any chimney cleanings or inspections! Thanks Matchbox! read more

Had a wonderful experience with Matchbox Chimney. When I called their voicemail said they were booked until Jan '22 and to leave a message if you're willing to wait. I knew I was calling at a peak service time for chimney cleaning so I had no problem waiting so I left a message. I received a phone call the following day and they were actually able to get me in that week due to other people rescheduling, so yay! At my appointment Garren was great, he was thorough and honest. He inspected both of my fireplaces and only one needed a sweep. Matchbox will definitely be my go to company from now on. read more

If you can get this company to call you back; they do a great job. I have called and emailed. Response with an email 2x, then nothing. No return call or attempt to schedule with me. read more

DON'T HIRE THEM They think much more of themselves than they do of you It says right on this Yelp page that they have an 8 hour response time and 100% compliance THATS not true. It took them a WEEK and a HALF to return my call and then they started off by telling me how long I would have to wait and what they would and wouldn't do- they are too busy to care - Don't use them if you don't have to read more

I have had excellent experience with this company. Garen is very professional and personable. He came out in December and cleaned out the chimney on my wood stove. He was on time and didn't leave a mess. I'm new to the wood stove thing so he explained the best way to burn and gave me a great recommendation on where to buy seasoned dry wood. I highly recommend Matchbox Chimney Sweep! read more

These people were so great to deal with. The wife i spoke to was so warm and friendly! It was worth the wait. Her husband came out and did the inspection and cleaning. He was very knowledgeable and guided us in the right direction, was patient and took the time to educate us. So glad we went with them instead of the other companies! read more

Super nice and super professional. They made an appointment via Yelp message and were extremely punctual. Garreth was just wonderful. He checked our fireplace and found it clean, the checked/cleaned our woodturning stove and showed us how to use it in addition to things that would be helpful in the future. He made suggestions, and was knowledgeable on code. Will definitely call again! read more

I just wanted to share with everyone what a very pleasant experience I had of working directly with Barb. She was very patient with me - answering all of my questions regarding my chimney. Barb also provided some helpful tips when it comes to maintenance of my chimney. Barb also went above and beyond to look into a very specific issue that I had with my fireplace she did the follow up and called me with accurate non-bias information. I was very impressed with the level of integrity and would highly recommend this company to anyone. I will be a forever customer!!! read more

I am a first time home owner, and the seller of our house agreed to have our chimney swept prior to moving in (shocking: they didn't do it, so we were left to add that to our move-in to-do list! Haha). Anyways, I found Matchbox on Yelp and overall I thought they were friendly, had good communication, arrived on time, and very knowledgeable. They even gave me good tips on how to maintain and use our fireplace. I would use them again! read more
