We are absolutely thrilled by the quality of work, the professionalism, effort and courtesy of the staff at Sweepnman Chimney! From the moment I met the estimator Stan, I could tell by his professionalism and willingness to answer any and all of our questions that we were hiring a winning team! Meghan and Natalie at the office were always courteous, timely and extremely helpful with all the scheduling, billing and questions we had. When it comes to workers.....well, I don't think you could ever get a better combination than Chris and Anthony. From start to finish, these guys were at it all day long. They were always friendly, courteous and willing to answer any questions we had. From the massive staging construction, the crown and brick removal, to the beautiful rebuild and complete waterproofing of our chimney...these guys were extremely efficient and worked very well together....it was impressive to say the least. The color matching of the new brick and mortar to our existing is incredible. The craftsmanship and quality of work is second to none! The cleanup was impeccable and we even got a beautiful report with construction pictures to keep for our files....you can't beat that! We will definitely be hiring Sweepnman again for any of our chimney needs. read more

Sweepnman - After - Chimney Sweeps Near Me - North Reading, Massachusetts

See all

Very expensive. 2 very young kids showed up to sweep my stove liner. Then one says that I should do the boiler flue as well. I considered it thinking he already looked at it. When he looked at it, he said "oh no, can't touch that". Meaning, he was ready to upsell me before he even looked at it. This company has nice shiny red trucks. Who do you think pays for them? Watch the upsell and get multiple quotes. read more

I want to extend another outstanding review, Dan was the service provider that came out today he was so knowledgeable and insightful. He brought a very serious matter to my attention that no one has before. Because of his outstanding knowledge and expertise he may have avoided a serious outcome. Dan thank you and thank you to owner that yiu sent Dan my way today. He needs to be commended for his outstanding service! read more

They tried to upsell me. Said I needed a new chimney. I had two other companies come out and both thought that was unnecessary and due to the crew working on commission. Instead, I went with M&M. Mike and his team were terrific, fair and reasonable. read more

I had a crack in my fireplace flue. Sweepnman Chimney Sweeps replaced my flue and built me a beautiful stainless steel cap. It looks awesome !! Thank you. read more

Great service from Stan and Jacob as always if I needled done with my chimney they are the first call I make

Two stars for the friendly staff, loss of stars for trying to scare us into work we did not need at a cost of $14,299!! ($4500 for flue work and and $9799 for rebuliding and pointing my chiminey, and a custom cap) I called for an initial chimney sweep (that was all I wanted) and before their tech Lisette even looked at our chimney, the first words out of her mouth were "I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I usually am . . . " And that's how it began. It left a sour taste in my mouth as I feel as though that is not how you should introduce yourself or your business to someone. The two techs who were in my home Lisette and her helper were friendly and kind. They also did keep my home clean when they swept my chimney, and got me a quote for work to be done right away. (Total cost $369.00) As a homeowner, I felt as though I needed to do my due diligence and get other quotes. The second company to come out said everything was fine, and I just needed a sweep. (Total cost $85.00 for inspection) The third company said that my oil flue was cracking, but it was not an emergency and I would have to deal with it in a couple years. He also inspected and swept my chimney again, and showed me all the soot that came out, and he himself was quite sooty. I was surprised there was so much soot as Sweeperman told us not to burn fires because it was unsafe, and we had not done so. The third company also told me my fireplace was perfectly safe and to call him back out again when the cord of wood he saw in my back yard was burned through. (Total cost $250.00). I work in the service industry as well, and we do not belive in upselling ot scare tactics for our customers, especially upon introducing ourselves. So, although the customer service aspect of this company is fine, their deceitful sales tactics are not. I will not be using Sweeperman again. Update: Manager Roger called back and apologized . He also was kind, and offered to refund the service. I declined. The call was nice, but my review still remains the same. read more

From the original call and inspection of our chimney I can't say enough good things about Sweepnman. They're the best! Chris and Jacob are now replacing our chimney and it looks awesome! I couldn't be happier! Super nice people to deal with as well. I wouldn't think twice about recommending them! read more

This shop is incredibly professional and knows their business. They send a qualified, professional and experienced workers.

Chris, Jake and Jacob were great! They did wonderful work restoring our chimney! I highly recommend them!

I spent a lot of time with these folks specing out a wood burning replacement for a gas fireplace. I could go on and on about the number of ways they disapointed me, but in the end the thing that pushed me over the edge was a 2 line quote for $18,000 with absolutely no detail. When pressed, they indicated that they do not estimate materials of labor but instead use an "algorithm". Obviously this is total BS and a way for them to obscure the cost of the job from unsuspecting consummers. I had a quote from another company that provided a materials list that was $3500, so obviously they were overcharging me as mentioned by some of the other reviewers. I would recommend avoiding this company due to deceptive practices. read more

Have contemplated converting fireplace to a wood-burning stove. Glad I called Sweepnman. There's more to this than throwing it in there. They did a detailed inspection of the flue and even climbed up on the roof to check the chimney and flashing and overall condition. Unfortunately, my fireplace and chimney need some attention before a stove can be installed. They LOST the sale on the spot by being thorough and honest. I MOST-appreciate their professionalism and ethics. I do hope to eventually do this stove install and when I do, it WILL be Sweepnman who does it! read more

Friendly staff, but like many other's, incredibly high quote and you have to get your chimney cleaned/inspected to even get a quote that other companies will do for free. We knew what needed to be done from our home inspection so seemed weird to have to pay for another quote, but we wanted quality work and decided to move forward. Ended up getting an initial $10K quote. We also received 3 other free quotes for the same work in the low $3K-$5K range. Like others have stated, we were given a custom chimney cap quote that was $3K. After reading other reviews, called back and asked for a non-custom fabricated and the price was $1.5K. Other quotes we got for a full custom cap were $1.5K so even their non-custom caps were high. But what I really didn't love was when the cleaner/inspector was at our house initially, he offered to seal our flashing that day, which was great, but we couldn't move forward since it was starting to rain. Then after we got our $10K quote, I called back and asked if we could schedule just the flashing repair and was told they would only move forward if we agreed to everything and wouldn't do just the flashing repair. Called back and told them how he offered day of to just do the flashing and was told they would call me back again. Been two weeks and I've been ghosted. As an update: I was contacted by the manager subsequent to my Yelp review and he was very apologetic. He took the time to listen to what I had to say and apologized for any inconvenience. He also offered to refund me for my initial sweep/inspection service which was quiet nice. I appreciated that. read more

Complimentary? Inability to correct initial work that was fully paid for but never completed is not complimentary. Beware, Sweepnman did not finish the job and stand by there work as promised. The owner never returned my call to resolve, just posted on Yelp. read more

Sweepnman - Unsealed Throatplate after 3 attempts to resolve - Chimney Sweeps Near Me - North Reading, Massachusetts

These guys are awesome. We had a problem with our draft and upon further inspection it was found to be a faulty cap that a previous work crew had installed. These guys were quick to respond, and to come out to fully replace it. They were quick, courteous, and the work looks amazing. We will definitely be using them again for all of our chimney needs. Can't recommend them enough. read more

This company was hired to do a chimney inspection on a property I was selling. The estimate given to the potential buyers for repairs were between $15k-$22k! I immediately had 3 inspections performed by other licensed chimney professionals. Prices quoted: $4500 $3600 $2800 What do these guys wanted to do is get a piece of the sale! Their only concern was a big payday. The chimney admittedly needed work, but it did not need to be reinvented at all. Shameful business tactics. They purposely put false fear in a naive young buyer, costing us the sale. Realtors beware when recommending this company read more

Craftsmen in the chimney industry. I believe you get what you pay for. These guys may be slightly more expensive than other chimney repair, and installation companies, but they back up their work, and they always do it the right way. Good guys working for them. read more

Paid $200 for an estimate that was way over the price for the work required. Long story short...$4500 vs $1400. Do your homework. There are still people out there who will still give you a FREE estimate and not jerk you around trying to talk you into work that doesn't need to be done. read more

I had Scott and Jimmy from Sweepnman install a fireplace insert and do some chimney work at my home a few weeks back. Both gentlemen were extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and personable. I was home during the couple of days they were at my house doing the work and observed first hand their work ethic. The two worked diligently to keep my house as dust free as possible and were happy to answer any questions I had. My interactions with Megan from the office, and Dave, the owner, were also informative and helpful. I would recommend Sweepnman to others and will use them in the future if needed. read more

Sweepnman - Chimney Sweeps Near Me - North Reading, Massachusetts

Great service from Sweepnman, we had used two different chimney cleaners the last 2 years, because they were on the cheap side. I've decided that there are things worth spending more on, such as a well swept chimney that prevents fire and loss of house and life and limb. (Things not worth it in case you were wondering: burgers over 11 dollars, beer more than 6 dollars, tacos not from taco bell, you get the gist) Anyway we we were not happy with the people who swept our chimney the last few years so we decided to go with Sweepnman because of their 5 star reviews, even though it was a little more money by about 50 dollars for a sweep. Well worth it! Eric (I'm pretty sure) and Tim came out today between the window of 11-1 they showed up at 11:20, were polite, thorough, clean, and nice people. They did a thorough job of cleaning, explained a few things to us and were comfortable people to have in your house. I will definitely go with sweepnman again for future cleanings, well worth the money and a great business read more

Based on good Yelp ratings from previous customers, I chose Sweepnman to clean my chimney. Dave, the owner, answered the phone, and was extremely knowledgable, professional and friendly. He sent Brian out to service my chimney, and I couldn't be more pleased~! Brian took the time to thoughtfully answer all my questions, even explaining to me the technical side of how a chimney works. He was also very caring and concerned about my safety due to a faulty furnace. Brian went above and beyond what most technicians would have done. I recommend this business with complete confidence~! read more

On the recommendations of my fellow Yelpers, I brought the Sweepnman out to our home to check out the 1950s chimney and fireplace. Of course, they found lotsa problems but besides that, these guys are totally professional, courteous and best of all they didn't leave a speck of dirt on my lemon yellow couch or the freshly swept hardwood floors. We are hiring them for all repair work and all future maintenance for the fireplace and chimney repairs. Highly recommend these dudes to the max. Or I guess I shouldn't use California slang so let me try on the New England word "wicked." Nah, these guys are hella good. Call 'em. read more

Note that this review is for their estimating, not their actual work: I had them come out and quote me for installation of a chimney cap. They gave me a steep price, said they'd have to order a custom cap, and then come back for installation as my chimney was a unique size and it was not a simple job to add a cap. I asked about another broken feature of the fireplace and they said they'd look into it when they did the cap installation. I called up another service for an estimate, they gave me a MUCH lower estimate, used a generic cap from their truck (cap had lifetime warranty), and fixed my other fireplace item for free, all on the same visit as the estimate! Avoid Sweepnman! read more

Last year we had Sweepnman come to clean our chimney. They told us we needed to have our chimney "relined" and our furnace flue "relined." We paid them more than $14,000 for this work. This year, we had a local chimney sweep clean our chimney--he found that Sweepnman had installed the damper in correctly. He also told us that our chimney had not needed to be "relined." We are so disgusted that we had to pay so much money to Sweepnman for a lousy job! We will NEVER use Sweepnman Chimney Sweeps again! read more

Prompt. Courteous good covid protocols. Trained technicians thank you

Great to deal. They stand behind there work. From the office staff and the workers in the field everyone is friendly and helpful.

Called to set up a time for an appt to inspect my liner and was repeatedly told that I need to have the chimney swept in order for the inspection to happen. Even when I told her that the chimney didn't need to be swept, she said it was the only way they could inspect it. I further pressed to only have the inspection and was told that it wouldn't be an option. Missed opportunity on the part of the business and they shouldn't push services on people when they don't need them. read more

Update: Dee found a technician that was able to come out today and took $20 off the total. Overall, great customer service and the technicians who came out were very friendly and happy to answer any questions. My fiance said that they have very high tech equipment and they did not try to oversell us on anything, just made suggestions on what may help in the future. Also, very respectful for wearing booties on their shoes. This company is awful. We had an appt scheduled and no one showed up. When I called to ask why, they said that the appointment was never confirmed via email. That is great, but the appointment was confirmed over the phone and no email was ever received after that conversation. Do not waste your time with this company, because they will definitely waste your time. read more

More than impressed ! I was nervous about my scheduled job as my house had an original chimney from 1959. I knew once everything got opened up, as with any older home, more would be discovered. Matt and Scott explained the situation and how they would proceed. They both kept me updated throughout the day as to what they were doing and why it had to be done. They also took the time to answer my 1001 questions. It ended up being a much much bigger job than expected, however, Sweepnman stayed true to their quoted price and didn't charge for the extra. Bonus points they were super nice to my dog ! read more

Dave was recommended to me from a friend that used him. I was having a hard time finding someone that would touch a pellet stove. Dave was on time, and really helpful. he got my stove up and running (after having it not run for 2 years). After he left, I even had questions about it's use, and he promptly called me back. He was very professional and really helpful. It was like having my dad come fix my stove. :) Highly recommend him~! read more

After searching sort of blindly for a chimney sweep company for our free standing wood stove, I decided to go with Sweepnman after reading the past reviews and seeing their accreditations on their website. Just as the other yelpers say, they were on time (actually early), professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and clean. Brian even went as far to do a quick inspection of our furnace chimney while puttng a cap on our wood stove flue. He noticed there was some decay and that the clay liner had begun to basically fall apart. He wrote up an estimate for us right there and then with a complete and thorough explanation for what was needed for the repair at no extra charge. I'm extremely thankful they did that otherwise we would have never known until it probably collapsed on itself. read more

Outstanding job by Sweepnman. We are first time home owners, and we wanted to make sure the chimney was in good shape for winter. We knew that we needed the crown repaired and some repointing, as well as a cap and waterproofing. We have a 1955 cape. What we didn't know is that the clay liner in our oil flue was degrading and that we had holes in the mortar. Stan did our inspection and he showed me every single hole on video as he was inspecting. This was very important for me personally to see the damage, because it really proved to me that we needed a new liner. Everyone knows liners aren't cheap. After talking with him, he gave us several reasonable options for how to fix the chimney to make it safe again. He was knowledgeable and I could really tell that he truly cares about his work. We felt confident in investing in a new liner. My father has installed them before and agreed that we needed one after I described what I saw on video. We decided to have a new stainless steel liner put in as well as complete all the repairs and cap, etc. We couldn't be happier with the results. Stan made sure everything was done right and even came back the next day to check on things because it had rained. We'll definitely be back for any future chimney needs. read more

Had the chimney for my woodstove insert swept by these guys. They were right on time, did a clean and efficient job. They used drop cloths in my living room and kept their vacuum running the whole time. Did a great job and left my stove looking brand new! read more

These guys are the real deal. Phenomenal work. I went through them because of the reviews on here and they came through big time. Highly recommend. read more

Had an incredibly frustrating experience with Sweepnman. While the actual chimney cleaning was fine, we had a town inspector show up to our home a couple of weeks later saying that the company had reported a code violation in our system. Not only was this never mentioned to us at all by the service provider before an official report was filed, the violation in question was totally false as it only applied to natural gas furnaces, not oil burning like ours. I had an explicit discussion with the technician about our oil burning system as well as his own visual inspection of our heating system. The inspector seemed put out by this mix up and was surprised to find that we were totally unaware that they had been contacted. Still baffled by this whole episode. read more

Needed some work on my chimney so I picked up the local telephone book late on a Saturday night. I called 3 places, left messages at the first two (still haven't received a call back) and the third actually picked up. I spoke to Dave Bancroft for a little bit and explained the issue. He told me he would be at my house first thing SUNDAY morning and quoted me a fair price. I got up early Sunday and prepared for the bate and switch when Dave arrived. He got there on time, did a great job, cleaned everything up, was incredibly friendly, and the quoted price was what he charged. If you need any work done and you do not call Dave you are making a BIG mistake. I couldn't recommend SWEEPNMAN more!!!!!! read more

SAVE YOUR MONEY!! Called these guys based on the reviews and the proximity to my home. I should've done more homework. The staff was present to deal with. But thats all I can say this is positive. The pricing was very high to have the chimneys cleaned. On top of this, one of my chimneys needed a new liner. So rather than ask "do you want to save the price of the cleaning and put it towards a new liner?" They went and cleaned a chimney that I would end up putting an insert in. They said they would get a quote over to me, but never sent one, but the rough number they gave was DOUBLE of the 4 other quotes I got. Three of the guys that came out to give me this quote pointed out that Sweepnman never went on the roof to clean the chimney caps. Both caps were covered in soot. I wound up getting a steel brush and cleaning them myself. Do yourself and your wallet a favor and find someone else to clean your chimney. read more

I bought a wood stove, and was in need of scheduling an install before winter. I called quite a few chimney installers, and none could help me. Then came across Dave at Sweepnman , and he was upfront about when he could install and potential costs for single or double lined stove pipe. Took time to walk me through process during estimate, and answered my questions. Scheduled install, and two weeks later his guys did the job. Came out great, and burning wood just in time for cold weather! I highly recommend Dave, and his crew. read more

Highly recommend Sweepnman ! Very responsive, quick to return calls & show up on time. Professional and they guarantee their work. No need to call anyone else! read more

We cannot be happier! First class operation after speaking with Megan she put us at easy about a leak in our chimney. Next day the service tech showed as promised and fixed the problem right away. I would highly recommend them as we are customers forever! read more
