Bakersfield Chimney

Had a plugged dryer vent on roof. Was able to get same day appt. The serviceman was very speedy in providing the service and I am now back on laundry detail!

Quick and professional. Wade was very knowledgable and nice. Arrived within an hour of my first call.

I just had Bakersfield Chimney come out just last weekend since I purchased a home and needed the chimney swept as well as have a spark arrestor installed. I hadn’t really heard of any chimney sweeping companies in Bakersfield, so I took to the Internet and searched. Bakersfield Chimney is one of a short list of companies that came up in my search. So, since there was a good review already on Unilocal,I figured I’d give it a shot. I would highly recommend Bakersfield Chimney to anyone who needs their chimney serviced. A man named Matt came out to my house and was very friendly and quick. One of my main concerns was that I didn’t want to get soot anywhere but Matt was very clean as well. He laid out a tarp and was in and out soon. The pricing was very reasonable as well. they charged me $ 210 to have the chimney swept and spark arrestor installed. I hope that this review will help anyone else who is searching for a good, reliable chimney sweep company! If I ever need it again in the future, I’ll definitely use Bakersfield Chimney again.

Since I won’t really need his services again for a decade, I figured the least I can do is write a review to help other Bakersfieldians find a good fireplace guy. And speaking as someone who *needed* chimney-​related services, I know that there isn’t much info about it here in town, so this review will hopefully be helpful!
When I moved into my house 3 years ago, I knew it had a fireplace (that passed inspection), but beyond that, I had literally zero knowledge of its status beyond that. And because I’m totally incompetent when it comes to fireplace care (don’t judge me!), I figured it would be easier (and cheaper!) to just let the fireplace sit there with the plant the real estate agent put in it.
Three years later, I decided it would be nice to have a roaring fire on Thanksgiving. So, like a grown up, I gritted my teeth and called a professional, full well expecting this adventure to cost me approximately an arm and a leg. When I spoke to the gentleman at Bakersfield Chimney, these fears were put to rest: $ 95 if it needs cleaning and, if it doesn’t, he wont charge me to come out. How many home-​repair folks would do that? A plumber or an electrician will totally charge you for their time if they come out for nothing, so it’s tremendously nice of Bakersfield Chimney not to charge if it turns out you’re fine.
He was able to come by the next morning, which is great. In the meantime, I popped over to Lowe’s and picked up a set of vented gas logs, so I don’t have to worry about wood, no burn days, and cleaning the fireplace. $ 150 well spent for the lazy homeowner, let me tell you.
When Bakersfield Chimney came out this morning, I sprung on him the new logs and asked if he could install them. I knew he’d charge for this, but it was far more reasonable than expected: $ 75. He did a great job, too– everything looks nice and is working beautifully.
So, if you need a chimney sweep or any fireplace related repairs, definitely give Bakersfield Chimney a call. They were quick, friendly, and totally reasonably priced.
