Proudly serving the great state of Oregon, including Portland, Milwaukie, Clackamas, Gresham, and more!. There is nothing more rewarding and romantic than using sustainable, locally sourced firewood to heat your home. Whether you cut and stacked the wood yourself or had it delivered to the shed there is something satisfying and primal about starting a fire.

However, fire is a force of nature that needs to be respected and controlled carefully. There are many precautions we must take to ensure the safety of our homes when using fire for heat or ambiance. The most important of these precautions is ensuring that the flue is intact and free from combustible creosote and other blockages.

A wise wood burner would call the licensed, professional, and experienced chimney sweep at Tip Top Chimney Sweep. Tip Top can also solve draft, odor, and wildlife issues pertaining to your flue(s). Nothing is more frustrating than having to open all the doors and windows on a cold evening because an improperly functioning flue has filled your home with smoke.

Tip Top Chimney Sweep is based out of Portland, Oregon. We were established in 1976 in Madison County Virginia by my father, J. Isaac Watts. My father built a solid reputation through hard work and amazing customer service. In the pre-internet days one had to be a little savvier when marketing a business or service.
Flues are visually inspected for blockages, integrity of the flue liner, and build-up of combustible creosote. Draft issues also addressed with recommendations for solutions. I charge for the inspection because I believe it gives you, the customer, confidence in my analysis.

Tobias was super friendly and knowledgeable. I've never had a wood burning stove before and he took the time to show me how my specific one works. He even waited while I drew a cheat sheet as he was explaining what does what. Using my stove like a champ now. Plus gave me contacts for any other needs I had. Highly recommend them for any inspection you need or cleaning.

I saw a Tip Top Chimney Sweep vehicle parked at my neighbor's house and stopped to inquire about their services & obtained a business card from Mike (technician). Shortly after this pleasant encounter, I scheduled the sweep and Tobias (owner/operator) and Mike arrived promptly as scheduled. Tobias is genuine, sincere, and quite knowledgeable about his craft & trade. After an inspection he cleaned (2) chimney boxes and flues at a very reasonable price. We were impressed with his service, integrity, and value. I would absolutely recommend his service to any home owner seeking consultation on their

Josiah and his colleague were pros in every aspect. We had a top side flue installed, eliminating our smell from the fireplace. They also cleaned the buildup in the firebox, price was good, fully recommend.

Tobias and company were GREAT! They were able to respond 1 day before this nasty ice storm. It's so nice to have a friendly, local neighbor that knows their profession extensively. And they showed up fully prepared for this Covid-19 dilemma! What a wonderful experience! Thank you Tip Top.

Tobias was phenomenal. He just left and I had to write a review immediately. Not only was the cost of inspection/cleaning $200 less than everywhere else, but he was very knowledgeable and explained everything to us as he went. And punctual! Our window was between 9am and 10am. Got here at 9 ON THE DOT. Finished everything in the seconds leading up to 10am. It was amazing. We also had a little side bonus of him scooping some gunk out of our gutter as he inspected the chimney from the roof. Completely above and beyond. Wasn't pushy with his recommendations and did what he came to do. I'd recommend

Tip Top Chimney Sweep is a fantastic company. I called them for a friend of mine and asked them if they could do a quote for me on replacing dryer vent tubing. Tobias called me and told me what time he would be there to do the estimate. He showed up on time and took the time to explain everything that he needed to do. My friend decided to have them do the job and Tobias called again and we set up the appointment time. Once again he showed up exactly when he said he would and he did an incredible job on the repair. Tobias is truly an example of what a great repairman should be. I highly recommend

I called to schedule a sweep for my woodstove and Tip Top was fantastic every step of the way. I spoke to Fran over the phone who was super friendly and helpful. Tobias had a last-minute opening in his schedule so Fran was able to schedule me for the following day. He was prompt and efficient and did an amazing job with my chimney! Not only that, he spent a lot of time talking with me, explaining what he was doing, answering all my questions and giving me really good advice about how to use my stove. Tobias is a really nice guy and he knows what he's doing! Tip Top's service was flawless and I
