I have an older wood burning fireplace, no gas, no insert, just glass doors, and a screen. I was very pleased with the service I received. One man was on the roof and the other at the fireplace. They placed covering over the area, and after they cleaned the chimney, they cleaned the entire fireplace, and they even cleaned the glass doors. Even the brick around the fireplace was cleaned. They did a quality job, and I will use them again in the future. read more

On time. Quality work. Spotless cleanup. Restored original performance. Easy communication.

Excellent service! Arrived at the time scheduled, friendly service and efficient at a very reasonable fee. Highly recommended.

From the moment I made the call until the work was completed and they walked out the door, I could not be more satisfied with the way this work proceeded. What a great job Chris and his sideman did! From sealing things off, to laying out traps, taking the chimney cap off, the scrub down, and the final clean up, $159.00 was a bargain for a professional 2-man crew working from both the top and the bottom. Even the communication was excellent, the phone call before coming, the scheduling, etc. Apparently they even do the electrical for gas inserts, too! Would not hesitate to use this company again... Thanks again for the great work today in helping me be a good steward of my 1953 house slowly being transformed into a modern marvel. I've dubbed it, "Moon Base Alpha!" -G read more

See all

Justin is very efficient and friendly. He did a great job and left behind no mess. I highly recommend Valley Chimney Sweep.

Very neat and courteous! They were professional and thorough. They also cleaned out all the ashes in my insert which was a bonus!

I could not say better things about Chris's full servicing of my chimney. He was extremely professional and took care of the entire cleaning and servicing to get my chimney prepped for a gas insert. When I came home to find the hot water had not been turned back on, he returned immediately to ensure I was satisfied. Overall excellent service. read more

Chris and his crew were very professional and easy to work with. They did a sweep and installed an electrical outlet for our new gas insert. Chris was on time and answered any questions we had. read more

Very pleased with the service. We haven't cleaned the chimney in years and they did a wonderful job. after they left, the room and area was so very clean. Their cleaning, inspection and recommendations were very professional and we will be calling them back the next time. read more

We have a 1918 house and let's just say our chimney hasn't been swept in years. We made them work, but they were great. Easy to book, quick, and very friendly. They came highly recommended and would do it again! read more

My highest recommendation goes out to Valley Chimney Sweep. Chris, the owner, was extremely courteous, prompt, thorough, and showed an excellent work ethic not often seen today. He did a great job cleaning my fireplace & chimney, removed an old wood stove insert & hauled it away, payed extreme detail to protecting all my flooring surfaces, and cleaned up afterward as if he'd never been here. What's not to like? He's very professional & personable as well. All around awesome service. Thank you Chris! read more

I have called 6 times and left messages for an appointment 4 times without response. No one has ever answered the phone. Based on other reviews, it appears they are still in business. I'm not certain as to why they are not returning my call. 3/7/17 Update - the owner Chris contacted me quickly, set up an appointment immediately, gave me a discount and was very kind and professional. I have a 2 story chimney and he did a wonderful job. He was very apologetic for the miscommunications. read more

20 minutes of vacuuming equals $500??? Sure, I live in Coalinga, and sure, this was the first chimney sweep for our home. HOWEVER, Greg and Chris showed up at 7am as scheduled, and were DONE at 7:15am. Used a shop vac to vacuum the fireplace and removed a couple brick facing pieces. All for a mere $500!! I have never been so shook. Want to know the best part...they prefer CASH to check or card. And they asked that my check be written to an individual, not the company. Definitely got scammed on this transaction...very disappointed as Central Distributing recommended them. Shameful!!!! read more

Amazing service. I am super picky about who comes into my house to do work and these guys were top notch. Early and fast! No mess left in my home! I had friends in town staying at an airbnb who were upset I scheduled this service during their visit but truth be told my chimney was cleaned before they were even awake! They also installed a spark arrestor for me. This was just as efficient as the cleaning. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I am now ready to start fire season! read more

Greg was very efficient and went above and beyond! Had my fireplace cleaned today. Cleaned the chimney with no mess. Would definitely recommend Greg's service. Recently installed gas logs. Greg took a picture of the log arrangement, removed the logs, covered everything else so no soot allowed into fireplace base. He then used his picture to replace logs in original arrangement. read more

Greg was just here and cleaned our chimney. Very personable, friendly and professional. He did an outstanding and thorough job. We had not used our fireplace in years, but wanted it cleaned for the new owners soon to be moving into our home that just sold. I considered it good luck having Greg in our home today and shook his hand. It's Good Luck to cross paths with an authentic Chimney Sweep. Thank you Greg! Susan A. in Fresno, CA :-) read more

Chris and his son Justin came this morning to clean our chimney and insert. They were both very nice. They were very professional and personable and did an awesome job. They did a great clean up too. I would highly recommend them! Thanks Chris and Justin!! read more

Very pleased with the work! He had great reviews on yelp, and the same day I called, there were great reviews on Nextdoor app. We had two fireplaces and our dryer vent cleaned. I am confident now with using it all for the winter. He also answered all of the questions we had and gave us some great advice. read more

Valley Chimney Sweeps can be summed up in these words: HONEST, RELIABLE, TRUSTWORTHY and KNOWLEDGEABLE! There are very few businesses you can trust coming into your home, spending your money on and hoping they are truthful. Valley Chimney Sweeps is a company you can rely on. If you need your chimney serviced, don't hesitate on who to call. It's simple, dial 291-7151. Ask for Chris. You'll be glad you did. read more

I wish I could give you guys no stars, because of the lack on honesty between VCP and the customer (me). Was getting my chimney ready for a gas insert, Valley chimney sweep employee stated he could shorten the gas line properly and make sure it's ready so when the chimney insert people came to install the insert they could just attach. Chimney insert people came and said not only was pipe wrong size it was shorter then it should be. Valley chimney sweep employee lied to me and said everything would be fine. When I called for an explanation, employee was very dismissive of the issue even though he caused it. Now it's costing me more time AND money. Would not recommend a business who screws you and takes your money. read more

Very helpful, reasonable, and quick. Knew what he was doing and was very kind. Will be recommending to all our friends.

Chris did a great job with cleaning our dirty chimney. He took his time and scraped off all the years of build up. My mom was very pleased with his work and even tipped, something, she hardly does. Also, he had the best price after shopping around! I definitely recommend their service. read more

Called on a Wednesday in preparation for putting in a gas insert, Justin from Valley Chimney Sweep came out the following Sunday, showed up early, finished in less than 45 minutes. Our chimney probably hasn't been "swept" since the house was built over 40 years ago, and now it looks as good as new. Justin was professional, cordial, and a pleasure to chat with while he did his work. If there's any downside to these new inserts, it's that Justin may have fewer chimneys to sweep in the future, so lets send Valley Chimney Sweep as much business as we can! read more

Great service! Our fireplace is from 1957. We needed someone knowledgeable, this was the guy for the job. Highly recommended.

If you need your chimney swept, call Greg at Valley Chimney Sweep. We called around to a number of places, and his price was lower by a good margin. They came in and did the job cleanly and efficiently. Explained the process well. Some day I'll actually use my fireplace, and feel confident that my house won't catch on fire from built-up creosote. :) read more

Highly recommend Valley Chimney Sweep. They arrived early, were extremely professional and knowledgeable about my chimney. Justin was able to answer my questions and concerns. They put down a drop cloth and cleaned up all the soot. I'm very happy with the results, definitely recommend them. read more

I was incredibly pleased. I called four different places and they called back right away with a firm date and time of when they could come out. A lot of the others either weren't as prompt in returning the call in having quick availability. They charge reasonably for an inspection fee and if it has to be cleaned you don't pay the inspection fee but rather the price for the cleaning. He came out early, did the work promptly, and there was no mess. Afterwards he explained everything he did and there were no hidden fees. Very nice and professional. Highly recommend and will definitely use again! read more

Excellent service! Prompt, reasonable, conscientious and a pleasure to work with. Our stove and chimney has never been this clean and is working beautifully! Thanks for all your help! read more

I recommend Valley Chimney Sweep without an ounce of hesitation! Chris and his son Justin came this morning and did an outstanding job. They arrived on time and went right to work. They were professional, thorough, informative, courteous and friendly! Jeanie E. read more

Greg is absolutely the best. He was fast, efficient and honest. Enjoyed having him clean our chimney.

Wonderful service! Right on time. Greg & Chris worked their tails off to get our chimney clean! Being in our home for a year and never using the wood burning stove, Greg inspected it thoroughly to make sure it was in good working order! We have a wood burning stove inserted into our fireplace. Price was under $200. I highly recommend using Valley Chimney Sweep. read more

We highly recommend Valley Chimney Sweep for the superb and excellent service we received recently. Greg not only cleaned our insert but serviced it and inspected it . He was very thorough and meticulous ,if you need your insert, fireplace etc. cleaned and serviced call Greg first. He does quality work and his rates are very reasonable. Thank you Ben and Pauline Soto read more

I played phone tag with Greg for a week. When I finally talked with him, he informed me that he doesn't do pellet stoves. What kind of chimney sweep is he? Sounds like he's after the fast, easy money. After I informed him that I would leave a review stating this fact he offered to go out imminently. Don't waste your time. Call a REAL chimney sweep, one who's not a character from Mary Poppins!!! I'm borrowing the equipment from a friend and doing it myself! Chim, chimney Chim, chimney Chim, chim, cher-ee!!! read more

Chris Reynolds from Valley Chimney Sweep was awesome. I had gotten the company reference off Yelp. I am so please. I have a 10 yr. old wood burning fireplace insert. Chris pulled the insert, cleaned up,down and inside the unit and surround. Very intensive and thorough. Chris knows his stuff. Highly recommend this company. I now feel comfortable having a fire in my home. Thank you Chris and Valley Chimney sweep. read more

Came out on time and cleaned my insert completely. Took it apart and cleaned everything. They worked quickly and cleaned up perfect with no mess! I'd use them again in the future! Super nice and great service. read more

I made several calls and liked that he stated his price on his machine, so there was no waiting to get an estimate during this busy time for the industry. He was fast, clean and very knowledgeable. I will continue recommending Greg to friends and family! read more
