We recently experienced a chimney fire in our 1971 home shortly after moving in, which was incredibly stressful. We didn't realize the chimney had a large internal crack and would require a full replacement and relining. Chelsea's Chimney was fantastic from start to finish. The owner personally came out, inspected everything, and took the time to explain what was going on and reassure me that it could be fixed safely. That personal attention meant a lot during a pretty scary situation. After paying the deposit, they moved quickly, within a week we had an entirely new chimney system installed along with a new cap. The work included removing the old flue tiles and throat damper, installing a UL-listed stainless steel liner with a lifetime warranty, insulating the flue, parging the smoke chamber, and installing a new top tile and top-closing damper system. Everything was clearly explained as they worked, which I really appreciated. The total cost was $5,400, which felt very fair for the amount of work, quality, and peace of mind we received. The craftsmanship looks great, and we now feel confident using our fireplace safely. Highly recommend Chelsea's Chimney if you want knowledgeable professionals who stand by their work and keep you informed every step of the way. read more

Brad was very thorough in his work. Our fireplace pilot light went out, so Brad promptly fixed the issue and gave our fireplace a proper clean and maintenance. He explained all the issues and steps clearly. read more

Had them do repairs on my propane fireplace. Great service,quality work. Highly recommend!

Very quick service. My chimney was a wreck. Buckets all over the sunroom as it leaked like a sieve. Crown was totally disintegrated. Bricks could be pulled out by hand. Hot water heater vent was out-of-code. They brought a crew and fixed it all in one day. A lot of tuck pointing, relaying rows of bricks, new crown, new vent down to the basement. Came back after the mortar had cured and power washed then waterproofed. Prefect cleanup, very polite, and kept me very well informed as the project went on. read more

Greg, the technician that they sent was great very helpful very knowledgeable. I will definitely use them.

They came out quickly, within a day or two of request and fixed the issue, gas fire place is up and running no problems. It had been making me dizzy and was likely a carbon monoxide leak, phew! He also answered some other gas fire place questions which were helpful. Thanks! read more

Rarely do we experience such a professional, courteous and honest home specialist as we did in Greg from Chelsea's Chimney! We recently purchased an older home and needed the chimney cleaned. Greg told us the chimney actually did not need cleaning, but he did a thorough inspection instead. He found the masonry on the roof cracked and in need of repair. By spotting the situation now, he saved us a complete renovation of the chimney down the line. We highly recommend Chelsea's Chimney! Robin S. off Mount Zion Road read more

We had a great experience with Chelsea's Chimney! Greg came out to inspect our chimney and was personable and helpful. He took his time and showed us pictures, making sure we understood what he was talking about each step of the way. When we expressed hesitation to have the work (liner replacement) done, he informed us about the GreenSky financing options. And when I mentioned that we really wanted to light a fire on Sunday- only four days after Greg's inspection- he assured us that he could get the work done the very next day. As promised, a team of workers- led by Charles- completed the job the next day. Lighting a fire in the fireplace of our new home during our first holiday gathering was honestly a dream come true! It's hard to express how much that meant to me. But I can certainly assure you that Greg and Charles have made us customers for life! read more

The first review got their attention, but things went from bad to worse. They scheduled an appointment to fix the problems and then ghosted. They complained about having so much business that it's just too hard to keep up and asked me to take the review down if they made the repairs. When they finally came, they smashed a plastic storage bucket, said they'd replace it and never followed through. read more

No games, great price, and friendly staff! I have a dentist, PCP, and now a Chimney company.

Responsive, hard working, respectful of our property and time, this is a company I'd highly recommend. Plus all workers are full time employees and all insured. Highly recommend. read more

Chelsea's Chimney - New chimney! - Chimney Sweeps Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

I found Chelsea's Chimney on Yelp after contacting several companies and found this company was the best one to work with. I initially called Chelsea's Chimney back at the end of December for a chimney inspection and cleaning since my chimney was having poor smoke ventilation. Jeremy (owner) called me directly after my appointment in mid January, which my house is currently being rented to wonderful tenants and he worked with the tenants and me on our appointment and kept us both informed. He didn't charge me with the inspection fee ($80 something) because I had him replaced the flue liner in our chimney, perks of having the chimney serviced by his company. He definitely communicated well with me regarding on the work that needed to be done. Super friendly and patient. His team of workers repaired the flue liner at the end of January, and I spoke with Eyas (I hoped I spelled his name correctly) and he was also friendly and informative as the work was being done on the chimney. The job started around 8am and finished around 5pm. They cleaned up the site after the repair was done. I would definitely use Chelsea's Chimney again. Also, Jeremy and his company does offer 20% off for Healthcare Workers (and front liners), which I truly appreciated. read more

We were pleased with Greg's service cleaning our woodstove & flue. He was courteous & efficient. He also identified a minor problem in the stove & corrected it. The price was very reasonable; they have pre-season specials posted on the website. He is preparing an estimate for some follow-up work on our roof, which we knew we needed (no upsell there). We are positively impressed and recommend Chelsea's Chimney so far. read more

Would have been 5 stars, but they were an hour past their appointment time. Service was done professionally and my fireplace looks good as new now. read more

Highly recommend Chelsea's Chimney! They were top notch from communications, to follow up and promptness.

Great service. Courteous and professional. I called them for the annual inpection and needed to get the backwall to the fireplace redone. They gave me a reasonable estimate and clearly explained the project. They showed up on time and completed the project within the quoted time frame. Will definitely call them back next year for the annual inspection and recommend them to all my friends and family. read more

I very highly recommend Chelsea's Chimney. We don't use our fireplaces, but decided to have the chimneys inspected after many years of not having done so. We wanted our chimneys to be more energy efficient, so had dampers and caps added, as well as restoration of bricks and mortar near the top of the chimneys that were likely original to our 1940s house. Pete did the inspection and provided us with an estimate for the work. He showed me video of the chimney interiors as he inspected them, and photos from the outside of the chimneys where there were cracks in the bricks and mortar. One thing I didn't realize he would inspect was the flue that runs from our boiler and out the one of the chimneys. I am so grateful that he did. The flue had been replaced in an emergency situation several years ago, and unbeknownst to us, there were multiple ways that the work was not up to code. It was a safety hazard we were unaware of, and we appreciate Pete for identifying it and walking us through the issues. The work began a week later, and leading up to that Pete thoughtfully checked in with us about the color of the mortar we'd like, and answered several questions about the upcoming work. The work was completed by a friendly, thoughtful, and skilled team led by Pete, Brad, and Juan. They left no dust, completed the work on time, and showed me photos of the work they did. I feel much more educated about chimneys, flues, etc. now, and it was a pleasure to work with Chelsea's Chimney. When I find a company I trust I like to spread the word, and they have certainly earned my trust and gratitude for a job well done. read more

The service technician was here for about 30 minutes & told me I would need to replace my entire fireplace unit, he restarted my pilot light which restarted the fireplace... but that lasted all of about 30 minutes.... The bill for the HOUSE CALL was over $300.... Which might have been worth while if anything was actually done.... I will NEVER use them again or recommend them to anyone!!! read more

I had such a wonderful experience today with Jake. Very professional did a wonderful and thorough job cleaning. Would definitely recommend his services again. read more

The guys did an outstanding job on our chimney in Montgomery Village. We also found their service to be one of the best around when it came to pricing. The work they did is pretty amazing. We no longer have water coming into our fireplace, since it's electric....that's definitely a GOOD thing! read more

I needed my chimney cleaned so I contacted them. I was pleasantly surprised by their fast reply. The gentleman that showed up was very cordial and professional. He conducted an inspection on my chimney. Of course I can't see what is going on because the guy is on my roof. He finished the inspection and told me I needed an insert and other patch work up on my roof/chimney area. The quote provided to me was beyond my budget at the time. He hadn't yet cleaned the chimney. I asked if he could and at first he seemed hesitant. But he did clean it out as I could tell from the fireplace area it was cleaned and the smoke goes out the chimney better than before. I recommend this business for their responsiveness and the fact they are courteous. read more

Our utility room flooded a little after the last round of thunderstorms that we had. After investigating, turned out that due to the cap being missing from our furnace roof vent, water was getting inside and flooding the space. Coincidentally, our chimney was also missing its cap. So I searched Yelp for the contractors with the highest ratings and asked for a few quotes. The company I went with was Chelsea's Chimney. The rep that responded to me was Jeremy and he sent his worker Eddie out to do the job within 20 MINS of my giving him the go-ahead! Eddie got here on time, was knowledgeable, friendly and very personable. He installed both the chimney and furnace vent caps in very little time! The price I was quoted for this work was the 2nd lowest price I got, still very competitive, but it was from the contractor who could get the work done 'today' and 'now'. With that said, I would highly recommend Chelsea's Chimney for your chimney or roof vent needs! read more

Excellent job done by these guys. Easy to work with, good communication and great follow up. Will definitely use again. read more

Excellent service! Our chimney was struck by lightning and the entire top was destroyed. Rain was leaking into our master bedroom and living room. (Did I mention we were leaving for vacation the next day) Jeremy from Chelsea's Chimney arrived shortly after we contacted him. They promptly covered the damage and did the majority of contact with our insurance company. Rebuilt the chimney top even matching the old bricks. Completely repaired all inside damage as well as painting and new mantle. All workers were very polite and cleaned up every step of the way. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them. read more

I can't say enough good things about Chelsea's Chimney. We had a tough job, and they were up to the task. Relined the existing chimney, new damper, and took off the top 6 feet of our chimney and rebuilt it. The job was dirty and messy and they contained the dust and were minimally invasive. Jordan at the home office is a pleasure to work with and offers incredible customer service. The whole team was knowledgeable, friendly and conscientious. I would recommend them to anyone needing chimney work without hesitation. read more

Greg came to clean my dryer vent. He was on time, professional, and pleasant. Will definitely use them again.

They were very prompt responding to my request, had good time available, and made scheduling very easy they were quick with the appointment and I didn't feel like I was being extorted ever and they were very honest and not pushy. I would definitely recommend them it was one of my easier experiences getting home care project done! read more

Chelsea's Chimney was super responsive starting from the initial quote visit (by Greg) through the actual appointment scheduled to provide service to my property by Jonny and Will. I appreciate the work performed and as well as the fact that the animal/pest guard, removed by a different company, was re-installed. Weather resulted in a last minute reschedule but the company provided a profuse apology along with a reasonable discount in exchange for the inconvenience. read more

Hi, I used them to clean my chimney that obviously had something dead inside of it. Flies were and coming out of it faster than anything I've ever seen. They cleaned it got a 1/2 cup of material out of it, collected 150.00 and left. I noticed that the very nice worker, Eddie, was not even slightly dirty at the end of a day. The brush he stuck up my chimney was not dirty. Now I am wondering if I go scammed. The fire place had to be dirty as I had not cleaned it six years. The unit has a stove inside of it as well. I still have flies and a oder. Nothing was resolved. I called them back and they were willing to return for another 150.00. Be careful is all I can say. SMH read more

I was required to install a liner in my brick chimney following the replacement of a gas-powered hot water heater. My install involved roof work (three stories high) at steep inclines. I am very pleased with the professionalism of Jeremy, Eric, and Pete. They arrived on time for our 7:00 am appointment and were pleasant, neat, and fast. Their work was very thorough. I recommend this team without hesitation. Thank you, Chelsea's Chimneys!!! read more

Took less than a minute worth of look and told me I needed to replace the entire chimney for $10k! Said there was a gap and the fireplace was unsafe to use. Had hired them for just a sweep. Got a second opinion, no gap found, no replacement needed. Scammers!! Charged me $85 for less than 5 minutes of looking and gave me bad info. read more

We had a great experience with everyone at Chelsea's Chimney. Our almost 100 year old chimney needed some mortar repair and other rebuild help to make sure it continued to be safe to use. Chuck was our lead technician and he was fantastic, as was everyone on the crew and in the office. Prices were reasonable compared to others and the process was smooth from start to finish. Glad to have my cozy fireplace back in action! read more

Quick service, prompt scheduling. Friendly and professional. Prices were reasonable. Recommended

Excellent work at a fair price. Contacted several companies and reviewed quotes. Chelsea's was not the lowest nor the highest price quoted. Choose Chelsea's as a result detailed information. Details down to the type of mortar used and sealer were provided. Crew showed up and detailed out what would be accomplished each day. At the end of the day clean up was done and reviewed what was completed. Recommend this licensed company for workmanship, warranty and quality of work. read more
