Finally had a sweep out after letting things go too long, as seems to happen with chimneys.
Looked up sweeps on Yelp and found Chimney Crickets.
Jeff provided a quote and we scheduled the service.
He arrived promptly and did the work quickly and cleanly. He camera inspected when he was done and provided me the pictures and video via email. He pointed out some problems with my chimney that need repair, and provided a few names of companies that could help with the repairs.
I am happy with the service.

Love this company! He won't rip you off or tell you that you need hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of work unless you actually do. He told me I had small cracks in my fireplace that will need to be fixed if they get bigger. Better yet, he told me how to fix it myself if I wanted to.

I will only call CHIMNEY CRICKETS for all my fireplace and chimney work. They're the best.

Beware of Chimney Sweeps, Inc of El Cajon. They called me and told me they were the same company who I had out the last time but oddly, they had my old address where I didn't have a fireplace. I realized

He did a great job. You may have to wait a little to get an appointment although he was very good.

In San Diego chimney sweep service providers are in great numbers, but when I hired their services for chimney cleaning I was pleasantly surprised by their brilliant work. They completed their job within few hours and that too without causing any sort of disturbance. Since the fee of their service was extremely nominal, I did not even bother bargaining because the work done by them was terrific.

I was seeking places for chimney sweep near San Diego, CA. When I contacted them and explained them the problems of smoke, which I was facing while lighting fire at fireplace, they immediately send a team at my place and resolved all the issues at the rapid pace. The way, in which their sweeping team works, is phenomenal because they finished their job in a tidy manner. Moreover, in comparison to their services, charges are extremely less.

Chimney in my home was causing several problems; smoke was not moving outside and was spoiling the atmosphere inside the house. Nevertheless, this San Diego Chimney sweep firm resolved the issues as soon as hired them. When I saw their sweeping team cleaning the chimney, the sight was appreciable because they did not let the dirt in and cleaned every inch of the chimney and repaired the damaged area of the chimney, as well.

Nicest chimney sweep you will ever meet. Jeff is reasonably priced and does a solid job. He's a nice, honest man, and he doesn't leave any mess behind at your house.

And if you request it, he'll wear his official "uniform" to your house (top hat and tails)!

Excellent service! Jeff went above and beyond to help me out. We had just purchased our house then immediately my husband left on deployment. I didn't know anything about the woodstoveand actually hadn't planned on using it since I have two small children. That was until my furnace broke and we were without heat! I called Jeff on Monday to make an appointment on Thursday. After the kids and I spend a cold night in the house I called him back on Tuesday told him the situation and he said he would come.
Let me back up a bit. I looked at several chimeny sweep sites. NO ONE posts their

I phoned around several chimney sweep companies and liked that Jeff is a small business owner, and his prices are a bit lower than competitors. Making the appointment was easy and service was excellent! Jeff took the time to walk through all the parts of my chimney and gave me ideas of easy things I could do to ensure the longevity of the fireplace. I definitely recommend him and will use him in the future.
