Chimney Sweep Bill

Super awesome job! I couldn’t have been more pleased. Bill is friendly, knowledgable, and thoroughly a nice guy. I found his company on Unilocal,and the raving reviews were spot on. Bill inspected, cleaned, and taught me how best to care for my fireplace. Now, all I need is some cold weather!

Loved Chimney Sweep Bil! He worked quickly, was efficient, very knowledgable, and cleaned up after himself, leaving no mess or evidence of his being there. Also he was very friendly; we will definitely use him again in the future when the time arrises and recommend him to anyone needing a chimney sweep.

Bill was very quick to respond to our request for an inspection and cleaning of the chimney and gas fireplace at our home. Fortunately for us our 1962 chimney didn’t need cleaning and is in pretty good shape, with no immediate repair work needed. Bill took to time to explain to us how to care for our chimney and what we needed to have an enjoyable and safe gas fire experience, including advice on what exactly to buy, current fire codes, etc, and answered all our questions, and refused to take any payment for his time. Naturally I hope we don’t have any issues with our chimney anytime soon… but if we do, I know who to call. Thanks, Chimney Sweep Bill!

Bill was on time. He was prepared, professional, polite, and clean. An awesome job. Would definitely recommend him.

Bill was very quick to answer my query for an inspection and cleaning. I don’t think the fireplace has been serviced since it got rebuilt after the Northridge quake (!)
Bill and his assistant were very prompt, pleasant and professional, and not only got the flue cleaned out but the gas jets work great now and it looks fantastic. All at a very reasonable price! Thanks guys!

After calling another company who played phone tag with me for a couple of weeks I gave up and turned to Unilocal.I saw that Mr. Bill here had great reviews and decided to give him a try. I called and left a message asking for a quote. I was bummed cause I didn’t get a call back for a few days but then alas… a pleasant woman called me back and said that she had just gotten back to me because over the holiday weekend they had over 100 calls! And she apologized that it took her 2 days to get back to me. So, I set up an appointment, but it was 2 weeks out! I took it because I felt like I didn’t have many choices with even speaking with other companies. Soooo, Mr. Bill arrived early and got right to it. Can I just tell you that he was one of the sweetest service men I have ever had come to my house? He was so knowledgable about his craft and never tried to up-​sell me on things my chimney didn’t need, which I truly appreciated. After the work was done, he went over what I should do to burn more efficient fires and how to save money on my electric bill cause I always forget to close my damper. He even left me with a print out sheet on fireplace tips. After using Fiddler on the Roof and 2 other Chimney sweep companies that I was not happy with, I will never use anyone else but Chimney Sweep Bill! Thank you Mr. Bill!!! (Can you tell I love finding good people?!) Ahahaha!!!

By far the most professional and knowledgeable chimney expert I have come across Bill did an amazing job on our chimney cleaning and at the end we got a course on fireplace 101. Our old chimney sweeper said we needed many things changed and it was getting very pricey, Bill checked our chimney and said it was in great condition nothing needed to be changed just a nice clean out yearly. Thank you Bill we are customers for as long as we have a chimney

I called Bill, knowing our chimney had issues based off escrow inspections. Bill is very knowledgeable he has 3 decades of experience. He was able to help us figure out solutions to what other so called «reputable» companies wanted to charge. He is a very nice and I will use him again next season.

Super nice guy, knowledgeable, efficient, reasonable rates and local. What more could you want? I will definitely use his services again in the future.

A rip roaring fireplace thanks to chimney sweep bill! He inspected and cleaned our fireplaces for a fair price and then taught us how to use them (city folk here from miami :). Thanks Bill!

No surprise here. Bill was punctual, friendly and knows his stuff. He made some recommendations that benefit me… not him. Now that is a honest businessman! Additionally, his prices are very reasonable and he will not leave until you are happy. I strongly recommend Bill to service your chimney.

This is the second time I have used Bill to inspect and sweep my chimney. Always on time always professional always helpful. Service included thorough inspection of chimney as well as cleaning from top and bottom and a thorough clean up before he left. If you need your chimney swept this is definitely the guy to call. Let me know that my chimney spark arrestor was not up to code and offered to replace it… Or not… He said I could do it myself and we went online and took a look at what I can buy at Home Depot and let me know what to buy and that would it be easy to install. No upsell as you would expect from a professional. Thanks again Bill you’re the best!

Bill seems to have his life and his business well together — I see why his ratings are so consistently good. Cheerful, fast, reasonably-​priced, thorough.

Chimney Sweep Bill to the rescue! He truly saved us from spending thousands of unnecessary repairs «recommended» by a previous chimney inspector.
We had just purchase our new house and did a through house inspection as most people would do… to our dismay, the report was full of «recommendations» that would require thousands to repair. What do we do? Luckily, we turned to Unilocal and found Chimney Sweep Bill! Bill came and did his cleaning+inspection, and told us that our chimney isn’t in as bad of a shape as the report had made it seem.
We opted for his recommendations and he was done in less than two hours! We really appreciate his honesty… this is what every merchant should be like! Honest and upfront… he doesn’t trick you into paying more than you need to.
Thank you so much, Bill! Now we can enjoy wonderful nights with our «new» fireplace when El Niño rolls around in the winter!

Bill did an inspection of the chimney of the house we bought. While there wasn’t much wrong with the chimney and that was good to know. He also gave me a thorough explanation on how to use our fireplace (its hybrid gas /​wood burning). He’s a great guy and we plan to use him for the minor repairs the chimney needs and will be using him when the chimney needs cleaning again. Highly recommended.

Bill runs and excellent business. I called and made an appoint for chimney cleaning, and he was here early the next day at 9A.
He did a thorough job, gave helpful tips regarding the chimney damper and the heater /​air conditioner, gave wood recommendations for good savings, and also gave me a full page list of of FAQs and answers most people wouldn’t think to ask.
Excellent thorough job. Thank you.

During the process of buying our house, we had a chimney inspection done by a different company. They provided a report with a list of recommended repairs and an estimate over $ 1000 for the fixes! Knowing nothing about fireplaces or chimneys, I was really close to just hiring them and calling it a day.
Decided to do some research and came across Bill’s info. Gave him and ring and immediately was glad that I did. He proceeded to tell me a bit about the chimney industry and why I should be wary of some folks. I forwarded the report I had from the inspection and Bill told me that most of it was BS.
For a fraction of the original estimated cost, Bill came out and performed his magic in less than an hour. It’s summer so we have a while before we can test out our fireplace, but Bill got it all ready for us!
Would definitely recommend Bill and will definitely be using him again in the future.

Awesome service and awesome guy! Bill was great, arrived on time (was early but was just waiting for me to be ready), efficient, clean, affordable and very informative! He is not in it for the money… He wants the best for his customers. My fireplaces are clean and ready for the Fall!

Bill and his son were selected by my husband based on Unilocal reviews. After a little delay initially in getting a call back from his secretary /​wife we got an appointment about a week out. He and his son arrived early and called to let me know hey had arrived. I was still out at the grocery store so they started set up after I returned their call. When I got home, he offered to carry in my groceries!
Like everyone has said in other reviews, Bill and his son were neat, knowledgable and honest. We haven’t used the fireplace and haven’t had the chimney cleaned /​inspected since escrow nearly 5 years ago and finally wanted to do a gas log conversion. Bill and his son helped us remove excess piping and told us quite honestly that it’s a simple DIY job that my husband could handle and even said to make sure to get a log set soon since all the big box store stop carrying them by mid-​February when spring merchandise arrives. He also said we could still call him if we changed our mind and wanted him to put the log set in. Overall he gave plenty of free, helpful advice and I would recommend him to my friends who need their chimney inspected and /​or cleaned!

We have been using Chimney Sweep Bill for the past 10 years. Bill is very thorough and polite — easy going. He totally knows what he is doing. During the 10 years we have had him come out, there has been only one thing that he recommended we do (fix) for safety reasons and that was during his initial visit. Our house had recently been completely renovated and I think he spotted something that the inspector did not and he fixed it for us and we have been very happy about that recommendation.
As others have said, he always leaves us with a sheet of do’s and don’ts for fireplaces and he updates it from time to time.
I don’t think this is his only job. I wouldn’t say that he doesn’t depend on this work or, on the other hand, that he just loves cleaning out people’s chimney’s but for some reason, I trust him and feel totally comfortable calling to schedule an appointment.
Lastly, Bill also has a recommendation for firewood. I would imagine this changes from time to time but right now, he is recommending a guy named Kyle. I wish Kyle had a Unilocal account so that I could review him. Excellent firewood guy. (but ya gotta call and schedule an appointment with Chimney Sweep Bill to get that secret recommendation.)
