I found Cheaper Sweeper Chimney on Yelp. After speaking with a few different companies, I decided to go with these guys. Will, the owner, was really honest on the phone and came by our home within an hour to scope out our needs and provide an estimate. (we had a somewhat unique need for repair work). He gave me a very reasonable estimate and came back the following morning exactly as scheduled to do the work. I would highly recommend Cheaper Sweeper Chimney to anyone who needs chimney cleaning or repair work. It's not easy finding an honest company that does high quality work. These guys are really professional and have very reasonable rates. read more

I called Cheaper Sweeper after reading the reviews on Yelp and Will did a great job. He gave me a discount for cleaning both chimneys ($90 each) and installed 2 new caps. He arrived a few minutes early and moved and covered my furniture. He realized that my caps on my chimney were unique and he ordered new ones right away. He mentioned they typically come in within 2 days and once he receives it he will come by and install the new caps (without me having to be present) 2 days later, he knocked on my door to let me know he was here to install the new caps on. Overall, I was very pleased. He was honest and professional. read more

I called Cheaper Sweeper and within an hour, Will (owner) was here cleaning our chimney. We have not had our chimney cleaned for over 10 years so you can just imagine the amount of soot and dirt that's built up over the years! He said that our chimney is one of the dirtiest ones he's seen. (so embarrassing!) As he was leaving, I decided to have our dryer vent cleaned as well. He showed me how much lint has accumulated from the pipes of the dryer. He also re-attached the dryer pipes with the correct tape and provided advice on where to properly place the washer and dryer. He mentioned that he is also a contractor and provides other services like, interior/exterior painting and power washing. I was impressed by his professionalism and will definitely use his services again. read more

I found Bill using BBB search for accredited business. He was able to fit me in for a chimney cleaning the same day, ~25-30ft small chimney was $110, done in about 30-45min. He recommended I have a few cracks in the mortar sealed, didn't try and price gouge me, let me decide if I want to do it or he could. Found that my damper was bent and barely working. Really great job. He cleans from the bottom by the hearth, so you have to clear out about a 5 ft space for him to work. He also does chimney inspection, vent cleaning, gutter cleaning, cap and damper. My home inspection said I needed a vent cap, no idea what that meant, Bill explained I just need to measure the diameter of the vent, showed me which one, and go to home depot for a self install! Excellent, honest, and trustworthy. I will continue to use him for cleaning the chimney again and will recommend to my neighbors. read more

If I could give zero stars I would! This owner/operator is very UNPROFESSIONAL. Gave us a bid over the phone. The price ended up being almost double. We did have an issue with the chimney needing some work but the price increased for gutters too. William showed up without his work vehicle. It seemed like he didn't have the proper tools to complete the job. He made a big mess around our home with the debris from gutters. Didn't clean up after himself. Left cement on our lawn from the chimney work. William said he would come back to finish the chimney & gutters and never did. We've contacted him multiple times and he won't respond. Avoid this business!! Its not worth the trouble, expense and mess! I will be contacting the appropriate authorities to find out my options for a refund! read more

Will is amazing. Wanted to get my chimney ready for winter, found his business on Yelp, called and he was there the same day. Professional and pleasant to work with. Learned that he does small jobs so now I have a go to guy for those. Ignore the negative reviews that mention Paul. Will is a KEEPER! read more

Awesome!! I finally got sick of having a waterfall in front of my garage. I found Cheaper on Yelp. After reading the reviews I decided to go with them. I explained the problem to Will and he was upfront and gave me an estimate. On the day of the appt. he called to come earlier which was no problem. He did a great job. I felt so bad because our gutters were so dirty and had debris from the builders. He spent over two hours cleaning the gutters. He gave me great advice on how to improve the drainage. I would highly recommend Cheaper to anyone needing gutters cleaned. He did a great job and has reasonable rates too! read more

Will cleaned and inspected our chimney. He was ON TIME (8am)! I like that a lot. He was friendly and explained what needs to be done and how much right then without over selling services. He also had good suggestions for our fire place. Communication was smooth from the beginning also. I def. recommend Cheaper sweeper chimney. read more

I can not say enough good things about Will. After finding the top three rated chimney sweep services on Yelp, I called all three and Will was the first to get back to me and have availability that worked with my schedule. He arrived at the house, and checked out both of our chimneys. The main problem we were having was the flue on our upstairs chimney was stuck in the open position due to rust and soot build up. Will confirmed that our downstairs chimney was fine and didn't need anything done to it, and was able to fix our upstairs chimney flue and clean everything out very quickly. He's honest, efficient, and very knowledgeable. Do yourself a favor and give Will a call first, you'll be very happy that you did. read more

Will was amazing. He was running a little late to my appointment and made sure to call in advance. Once at my house, he was fantastic! He was quick and did a great job. He also offered helpful advice in general for using the fireplace. His price was well below that of other bids I received. As he was leaving he even kindly offered to help me with something I was working on. I really can't say enough great things about him. I wish I had more chimneys just so I could give him more business! read more

Excellent service! I found Will on Yelp and after a quick phone call was scheduled for my dryer vent cleaning. Will arrived at my home promptly! He was very professional and cleaned the dryer vent to perfection. I'll be a customer forever! read more

Now that the rain has stopped it is apparent that Will and Patrick dented or damaged nearly every gutter in my house, not just the one pictured. These idiots leaned a ladder directly against the gutters instead of using the proper equipment. This is nothing short of malicious damage to property due to willful neglect. Will and Patrick, you have caused thousands of dollars of damage to my two year old remodel. I hope the Yelp readers treat you appropriately. If you decide to do the right thing and address the horrific damage you caused to my property, you know where to find me. Separate note to Yelp audience: never trust someone missing most of their teeth. read more

I have had Will service our dryer vents on 3 occasions and have never been disappointed. Our dryer had issues with lint clogging up and when he serviced our dryer this past weekend, I didn't know that there was so much water that was accummulated in the vents. He went to show me what was coming out and it look like a shower/faucet of water coming out of the vent! He is an honest man and I appreciate the service that he provides. He understands our family's budgets and gave great suggestions on how to maintain our dryer vents as well as providing other solutions without any pressure to get it done right away. I definitely would recommend him to friends and family as well as calling him back for future maintenance and repairs. read more

Highly recommended! I found Cheaper Sweeper Chimney through Service Magic, and Will contacted me the day that I submitted my gutter/downspout cleaning request. He was very flexible with scheduling and was able to do the work on my first preference day. The quote he provided over the phone was very competitive with the other services who contacted me. He arrived promptly (early, even), assessed the work load (under one hour), got straight to work and finished in thirty minutes. He took the time to demonstrate that the gutters were open with a hose and even pointed out a small leak that had developed over the years in our downspout. Will was courteous and friendly, and I definitely plan to hire him to clean our gutters next year! read more

Will did a good job. I had him over to clean my chimney and then later to install a new cap. He arrived early both times, but called ahead of time to make sure that was all right. I don't know what other services charged, but he cleaned and inspected the chimney for around $108 and installed the new cap for $380. I'm hoping that over time that new cap will pay for itself in lower heating bills. He's straight forward and professional. Since he provides other home services he will be on my shortlist when I need a handyman. read more

Nothing to complain about. Easy to schedule an appointment, he comes, does his job, cleans up and leaves, the price is fair too.

I found Cheaper Sweeper on yelp. If you are trying to find a chimney cleaning company that provides high quality and great customer service look no further. I contacted several companies before I went with Cheaper Sweeper. William, the owner of the company, was honest and very helpful. I highly recommend Cheaper Sweeper to anyone who would like to get a great service at a great price! read more

Better late then never, but this review was long overdue. Will came by a few months ago to quote, clean, and repair my cap/damper. I was not sure who to go with initially since this is the first contracting this type of job, but Will too good care of me. He made the quote easy, providing competitive pricing, knowledgeable and also did a good quality job. I would recommend him to other people. read more

I found Cheaper Sweeper online by using Service Magic. Will contacted me right away and was responsive and we scheduled an appointment over the phone. Will inspected and cleaned our chimney as well as cleaned the roof and gutters in one job. He did a great job and even took the time to help asses a leak in the roof that was not part of the job at all. While he admitted he was not a roofer he provided his honest assessment of the problem. We plan to use Cheaper Sweeper every year to have our roof and gutters cleaned. read more

Only good things to say. Brought Will in twice a while ago, once for a chimney sweep and once to install a damper. In both cases, the quote was right and he came promptly. read more

I found these guys on Yelp, and was looking for a quote to remove a pellet fireplace insert. A few places came back way too expensive (close to $400!!!) but I got a quote from Will that seemed very reasonable. Will was on time, professional, and very informative - gave us input on what we needed since we removed the insert, cleaned the fireplace etc. Put tarps out to make sure he didnt dirty up our house. Definitely recommend to anyone who need chimney work! read more

Thanks Yelp Reviewers! Everyone who has a chimney should use Cheaper Sweeper. Will arrives on time & does a superb job. Excellent service. read more

Checked with the state of California, he is not a registered contractor. He has no licence to do business. Maybe doesn't have insurance either. He also is using a Federal trade marked name of another company. I would be very concerned about hiring him. read more

Great service. Helped me understand what was wrong with my chimney (it was cracked) before he did the work. Super nice guy, very reliable. I recommend Will to anyone. read more

I called and spoke with Will. He sounded nice enough and he told me the basic cleaning and inspection for a chimney cleaning ran $109. Fine, we made an appointment for the next day from 3-5 p.m. My wife made sure she was home and held off on making dinner for the kids until after the appointment. 5 p.m. comes and goes and he's a no show. It doesn't bug me too much, I have family in the trades. I know that sometimes things at jobs go long and you have no other choice but to stay late and finish the job, I get it. I call and leave a message just asking if he can be expected at all tongiht. If not, I was willing to set up another date and time. It's a chimney, I can live with a dirty one for another week or whatever. No call back. Nada, zip, zero. Don't you hate just not getting any call? read more

Unless you want to asphyxiate your entire family I'd go with some else! I used Will twice and both times he came into the house and cleaned the fireplace insert; he never went up to the roof. It wasn't until smoke was pouring into the house and I had someone else to clean the fireplace did I find out that Will never removed the cap off of the top of the chimney and he was clogging up the screen by ramming the ashes up the chimney and into the screen! What a loser! One star is one too many for this guy! read more

Don't waste your time waiting for him. I called Friday and he said that he is too busy right now, and next two days. OK, i said lets make appointment wherever YOU have time. we scheduled for next week Wednesday (xmm... 5 days to wait...ok) Guess, what... on Wednesday, half hour before appointment he called me saying that he apologizes but he can't make it, he is running late. Can he make it all? NO!! when i asked when he can make it. The answer was - Friday! My advice is don't wait for that service at all, you are wasting your time. He is not only one in this business. The time that i spend for waiting him...I'll better to find another service. I guess, the good reviews here submitted by customers where he could make it. doesn't look many , or perhaps some friends-customers.... read more

Yelp saves the day again! My 83-year old mother in San Mateo needed her dryer vent cleaned (her clothes were not drying well, and someone had told her she really needed the vent cleared out). The same morning she told me this, I found Will/Cheaper Sweeper on Yelp and gave him a call. He was available an hour from then - would that work? I said Yes!! Told my mom to expect him in about an hour. She said he was on time, very friendly, did a Great job, and was careful to clean up afterward. Even replaced the dryer connection for her! Even better for her, as she's on a limited income - the price was extremely reasonable. She will need chimney cleaning as well, and we will Definitely be calling Will back. Thank you SO much to Cheaper Sweeper. Cheaper does Not mean "cheap" - just extremely good value. read more

I just hired Bill and he did a great job. He cleaned out my gutters and left no mess. We will use him again for other projects.

Will was great, same day service,quick, clean and despite having to go on the roof because of our twisting chimney. I highly recommend this service. read more

I highly recommend Cheaper Sweeper! Will is professional and personable. Our wood stove has never looked better. I was so impressed that I asked him if he provided any other services and he said he has expertise in interior and exterior painting, cleaning gutters, dryer vents, landscaping, fence repair, and windows, etc. After reading some of these other reviews I will be contacting him immediately to have our dryer vents and gutters cleaned. His prices are quite reasonable and the quality is excellent! What truly amazed me most was that after my initial call in the morning, he was at our house hours later. I can't wait to have the windows washed in the Spring! read more
