I can not say enough nice things about Josh and his services. This is the first yelp review I am writing and his quality services are the reason I signed up for an account her. We just moved into a house with a wood stove and knowing nothing about fireplaces and stoves figured I should get it cleaned before using it. Not only did he inspect the stove and inform me it was in great shape and didn't need to be cleaned (talk about honest as I wouldn't have known any better), but he then spent approx. an hour educating me on the stove, wood storage, inspecting my chimney, and even giving me advice on my furnace, all for free. I will be bringing him in to have our other chimney cleaned shortly and as needed to have any other work done. Amazing guy, down to earth, friendly, and honest as hell. I initially could not find the 7 or so 5 star ratings on here and took a leap of faith with him. He deserves everyone of them and more. read more

Josh was great. We asked him to come by before we installed solar panels to make sure the chimney was in good shape before the roof was covered up. First, he made a point to get over to our house asap because he knew we were close to scheduling our installation. He explained what he saw in the flue and on the roof, talked about ways to maintain the health of the fireplace, spent half an hour explaining what type of firewood we should purchase in the future and why, charged less than his going rate -- he even gave us a great tip about making some extra money selling fireplace potash! We were so impressed with everything about Josh, and would definitely recommend him. He will be our go-to for our fireplace going forward. read more

I had Josh come by to address a smoking problem I have been having with my wood stove for the past several years. Some possibilities for the smoking problem was wet wood but dismissed that since the wood has been inside and we haven 't been using much due to the smoking issue. Josh verified that the flue was clean, the wood was dry and the inside pipe from the stove to the flue were all in good working condition. On inspection of the outside cap he found it fairly clogged due too fine wire mesh that was installed to keep birds and pests out of the flue. Thanks to Josh we have our wood stove back and are over the top pleased with Josh and how thorough/ professional he was finding and correcting our problem. read more

Cannot say enough about Josh and his company. Prompt responses to emails, always answer his phone. He replaced my chimney cap and flashing. Quality of work is superb-prices are very reasonable, he showed up both times, on time ,for both of the dates scheduled to do the work- he is very busy but sticks to his committed schedule with you when he tells you he will be there. I never thought a chimney could look so good. He even got rid of a couple of hornet nests that found him around the chimney for me. I live in Burlington and he also was fine with coming up this way. THANKS AGAIN JOSH!!! read more

DO NOT CALL ANYONE ELSE! What an amazing company; Josh is the most honest, helpful, educated and caring business owner I have run into in a very long time. I had an emergency and needed my chimney cleaned before my furnace could be turned on. I call two other companies before I was lucky enough to find Josh. He said he would be over in 30 minutes, (he arrived in 20) cleaned my chimney and because "it wasn't that dirty" charged me less than quoted. I will recommend Up Yer Flue Chimney Sweeps to everyone I know looking for a chimney sweep. Thank you Josh! read more
