    Capital Chimney was a wonderful company to work with. From the ease of scheduling and getting a quote, to the completion of the project, the team did an amazing job. Everyone has a high-level of professionalism and takes pride in their work. The level of expertise and knowing their craft is excellent. The main technician, Patrick, and his teammate made sure to communicate the project's progress (from the exterior work to the interior re-routing and liner). They were also able to match the unique color of the grout on my chimney! Additionally, their pricing was fair. I definitely would recommend Capital Chimney.

    Ask the Community - Capital Chimney

    Do you work on gas fireplaces? We moved into this home recently and it's not working. Many safety switches on the doors and possibly the pilot light is out. Looking to have you inspect the fireplace.

    Good morning Julie, Thank you for your inquiry! Please contact us directly regarding the issues… Read more

    We had an good experience with Chicago Chimney. Everything kicked off with Toni, who is incredibly…read moredynamic, personable, and just gets it. Her communication was on point the whole way through always kept it real, listens, and genuinely tries to help. When it came time for the work, Mario and Simón came out and were fantastic. They handled a full parging of the smoke chamber, installed a Charred Rugged Split Oak log set with remote, moved the gas line, painted the inside of the firebox with black paint, and prepped everything for us to add the rocks. Super professional and nice. The whole process was smooth, transparent, and high-quality. Pro tip Zelle is preferred.

    We hired ChimCare for what should have been a routine inspection and sweep, and instead ended up…read morewith a serious safety incident and very poor workmanship. Their technician left the gas running before ignition, causing a fireball to shoot out of the fireplace while I (and our dog) were sitting next to it. It singed the worker's hair and melted his phone case/phone, this easily could have resulted in a serious injury or property damage. It also became clear during the visit that the technicians didn't know how to operate one of our fireplaces. They had to text photos to someone else for instructions and still could not get the second fireplace working (which we later discovered is controlled by a simple wall switch). Despite the lack of safety and technical competence, we were charged a 50% mid-service up charge for "deep cleaning" sweep, with no clear explanation of what that covered beyond the original inspection & sweep service, all while we were trying to calm our dog, who was scared from the fireball. The stone on one fireplace needed crack repair, but the workmanship was sloppy. Sealant was accidentally smeared onto our marble facade on the outside of the fireplace and not cleaned up, and the color of the sealant doesn't match the stone in our fireplace. None of this was disclosed beforehand, and now it will require further repair to fix. We reached out via phone and email multiple times asking for a resolution and gave the company every opportunity to address the issues. It has been over a month with zero response from management. We are now having to dispute the charge through our credit card company. Based on the safety risk, lack of technical knowledge, the questionable mid-service up-charge, and complete lack of accountability or care to resolve these issues with us, I would not recommend this company.

    When Chicago Fireplace & Chimney did $5,200 worth of work on my chimney in 2021, I was very happy…read morewith the results. The installation looked solid, and at the time I felt confident recommending them. Unfortunately, my experience since then has been completely different. In June 2025, smoke began backing up into my home. I reached out to CFC saying: "It appears that a bird made my chimney her home. I believe they are gone now, but my house fills with smoke when the flue is open." At first, Sean replied with some questions, but after that communication fell apart. I sent multiple emails (June 13, June 28, and July 23) without any reply. When I finally heard back in August, I gave all the details he asked for along with my address and phone number. We scheduled an appointment for August 8, but no one showed. I got a last-minute message saying they might not make it and to "keep in touch." Then on August 20, I received another text apologizing, saying they were stuck on a big job and might come "tomorrow late afternoon (no guarantee)" or "sometime next week." Once again, there was no follow-up. After repeated no-shows, excuses, and silence, I had no choice but to take my business elsewhere. This was a serious safety issue with smoke entering my home, and the lack of professionalism was unacceptable. I wish I could rate them only on the quality of the original work, but after this experience I can't recommend them.

    I had them out for maintenance on the installed fireplace. Good communication, fast replies and…read morethey were able to come out in a reasonable timeframe. Service was completed as expected and the pricing was very reasonable! I have no problem recommending this service to anyone needing a fireplace or and services needed for your fireplace.

Some folks are disputing this but think about it, do you want the pilot of your plane on your trans-Pacific flight with 100 hours of flight experience?? Or do you want the person with 10,000 hours?? Speaking of pilots, the pilot light in my gas fireplace kept going out and it kept going out when outside temperatures went below 25F. That's right, it went out when you needed it most. So after firing up the pilot light manually for seemingly over two Winters, I said to myself, this is insanity. So I used Yelp to conduct a comparative analysis and called four fireplace companies. Here were the outcomes of those calls: - one company does not fix gas fireplaces. - the second company made me leave a message and it took the guy like 3 days to call back and he had an attitude like he was disgruntled from the get-go (meaning from the onset). - the third company wanted to charge a service call for diagnosing the problem and couldn't comment on the overall costs. - the fourth company was Hearth & Home and Pat (who turned out to be the owner) was a straight shooter (meaning forthcoming with details). Pat asked the year, make, model, serial number of my gas fireplace. He listened to me about my fireplace's symptoms and gave me a likely diagnosis and projected costs of the part and service. I had a very good feeling about his Integrity and thought the cost was reasonable. The appointment was booked and weeks later, Mike came as scheduled. Mike has 10 years experience and although he huffed and puffed here and there while fixing it, I had no doubt that with his expertise (10,000 hours) we would be up and running in no time. And that's what happened, my fireplace got fixed, within budget and right in time for me to make it to the Yelpies event last week!! Thank you Pat, Mike and H&H for this professional experience. Otherwise I would have missed that great event by Kesha and Celeste!!
