Recently my chimney was damaged from a storm on December 19th extremely high winds and heavy rain,…read morethe wind was so strong it lifted the metal insert in my chimney and removed it w/ the bricks still attached. I immediately took to the internet to find a high-quality specialist w/ a 5* rating and reviews to back it as I had installed a high-quality metal roof installed 8 years ago by interlocking roofing at the time the cost was $ 35,000.00 now that same roof today would cost approx. close to $ 100,000.00 so I needed a professional with knowledge with working w/ a metal roof that looks like slate. and wanted to do the proper assessment of damage cost etc. prior to placing a claim w/ my insurance company. As that would give me a good idea of cost repairs what would be involved as it would be a lot different than dealing w/ your normal asphalt roof where they could just go up on the roof where in this case you cannot. You would either need a lift or specialized staging set up as that come at a higher cost. in order to not compromise the integrity of the metal roof and to avoid liability, so I needed to do my do diligences in getting the right company to assess and do the job once the claim was put in. Because it was the weekend, I filled out the information online and in less than a 1/2 hour, I had a response from Brian from Safe Sweep Chimney. Extremely professional and set up an appointment on the 30th of December to come out and assess the damage. Now I had a professional I then went online and filed my claim w/ Amica who I have had for many years and are the Best of the Best when it comes to insurance companies, after filing I was notified that I was assigned a claim representee, and a claim person would be coming out on the 31st of December, so now I have done what needed to be done. Now as stated Brian showed up like he said he would at the time he had stated and was here for well over an hour did a complete assessment, cleaned the chimney and the fee was very reasonable of $ 300 as stated during our first conversation. and wrote up a report in his findings. During his time at my home Brians communication was in terms that I could understand and the process that would need to take place, and yes, a specialize staging company would need to come out and set staging w/ stairs in order to not compromise and damage to my roof but also for the safety of his employees. and the roof would have to be tarped to avoid any scratching etc. Brian also asked me if I had ever had the chimney ever cleaned, I told him no, that I had been told back when I purchased my home back in 1978 that because I didn't have a fireplace it was necessary, that may have been the case back then only to find out not to be true, to my surprise. the cleaning the chimney is one of the things Brian insist should always be done regardless this way it ensures the integrity of the bricks and shows if there are any cracks etc. that can be repaired that can avoid any future expensive cost down the road and avoid any carbon monoxide from seeping into your home. This to me is what sets Brian apart from other his willingness to take the time to educate someone like me of the dangers that could arise, as Brian put it, though it is a costly repair that it's his job to make a homeowner aways of any hazards that could arise in the future, regardless of whether I went with him or not, That was all I needed to hear, I was relieved in knowing that hiring Brian would be another one of those best asset's I would be investing in knowing the job for one would be professional, two I would never have to worry about it again at least not as long as I remain in my home. one of the best choices I could have made by doing my homework and not just hiring anyone, and the second-best thing I ever did was having one of the best insurance companies to protect me with my Home, and Auto and Liability Insurance, Amica I could be happier w/ my decisions and I urge anyone looking for reputable insurance company, reputable Chimney expert call Brian, at Safe Sweep Chimneys as well as Amica, oh one last thing to Brian's credit, who in today's world does this. Brian made it a point to call me the next day to see how I was doing, knowing how frazzled I was and to insure me everything would be alright. but was more concerned about me as a person. Sure, made me feel a lot better. I can only say Thank you Brian, so much appreciated the time and care you took to spend w/ me the day of my crisis. Joseph St. Jean

It was great to call Safe Sweep Chimney and have the owner pick up. Brian and his sons were very respectful of our house. He showed me the camera footage from his top to bottom flue inspection.

However from that point on everything went down hill. I told him I would call in a week or so and finalize a deal. A week later I called and told him I would like to order the stove he showed me. He explained prices went up but he would honor original price he quoted and also said he would send someone by to look at chimney. I waited weeks and no one showed up. Called back and spoke with someone else who had no clue about the transaction and suggested I send pictures and basic information along to sales at their email. I did so and again didn't hear back from anyone. I called a week later and was told the guy I spoke with was out on vacation and would be back that Tuesday and he would return my call. Guess what no return call. I called one more time and got yet another person who would not honor the original price and asked all the same questions I've already answered several times before. As much as I would love to buy a Lopi stove it would not be from this group. Stay away from this group

They did a great job cleaning the chimney and wood stove. They also fixed two issues with the chimney cap and the interior of the wood stove, from the previous installer. I needed to be able to use my wood stove for a room without a secondary heat source. They were able to schedule an appointment within a few days of my call. The company I had used previously could only schedule me thirty days out. The fire is now burning bright in my wood stove and venting wonderfully. I have high standards and expectations in caring for my home. I highly recommend Advanced Chimney. Happy New Year!

After the installer completed installing the stove , there were additional pipes unused . I went back a couple days later to return them and this time they charged me $28.00 I said I just spent almost $10,000 in your store and you can't waiver the re shelving fee ?

NOT GOOD, filled the house with smoke so stopped using the wood stove and called my Chimney Sweep and due to illness he suggested Atlantic Chimney. He called Atlantic Chimney for me. Two men came, assessed the problem, they thought it was one problem but found it to be another, fixed the problem and had me make a fire and waited to make sure no smoke back down and that I had a good draw up the chimney which I was having problems with. I cannot be more happy with Fernando and his associate for working to make this all work. I highly recommend them. WE live in Westwood MA and they came without an extra distance charge so maybe they have more offices than the one listed in telephone listing.

I hired Atlantic chimney to install a new chimney pipe, involving cutting a hole thru the roof…read more They installed it as scheduled. But, the 1st time there was a heavy rain, water leaked thru and got into a puddle on my wood stove, causing it to rust. They came back to look, said the pipe was leaking from the inside, although the flashing with the roof was OK. The inner pipe was scratched too, it looked as if a defective pipe might have been installed as well as there not being a proper seal on the inside. They came a second time and put a plastic bag over the chimney to keep more water from getting in and refunded the money I'd paid, then refused to do any more work to fix the problem. Coincidentally, my carpenter saw one of the techs at starbucks who told him "Bill is being an a_____ about this project and wants to walk away from it." Hopefully the refund would cover getting this chimney fixed by someone who knows what they're doing even though the rust on the stove is something we'll have to live with. In the meantime, dealing with their mess is a significant pain. Would you hire someone who did this??
