From my first call to BCC to get an estimate for the work to the final day when my beautiful, functional and safe rebuilt chimney was completed, every interaction with Best Cincinnati Chimney was outstanding. The office staff, the workmen and especially the company owner, Chuck Caine, answered all of my questions regarding the rebuild work cheerfully and on point. The cost ws reasonable. BCC's safety practices are top notch. The craftsmanship of the completed chimney is second to none which assures me that the chimney will be trouble-free for a long time to come. Without hesitation, I fully recommend Best Cincinnati Chimney for anyone's chimney needs. Steve S., Pleasant Ridge

Robert did a great job filling cracks and building the parge (protective layer inside the fireplace) while both Russ and Robert completed outside work, replacing the crown, improving the flues and flue caps. As always, communication is top-notch and I would not hesitate to recommend Cinci Sweeps to anyone for inspections, cleaning and reconstruction. (Original review for November 2020): I would echo the other five-star reviews. I cannot say enough nice things. - Russ is a great communicator, taking the time to explain everything - The work is top-notch; our crown looks like new and the craftsmanship was fantastic - They called ahead, arrived on time (with shoes covered and wearing masks) and cleaned up everything when done - You can tell that they absolutely want to do the right thing and make the customer happy - I've already referred them to friends and family In short, Cinci Sweeps is one of the most professional and friendly companies with whom I've had the pleasure of working. I will definitely continue to use them in the future. A++

I was a bit frustrated because they were offering cookie cutter solutions/services without really identifying the issue(s) causing the extreme cold. I called Dr Energy Service (DES) and was fortunate to have the owner, Chris Shepard come out and provide an energy audit. As you can imagine with the age of our home, he discovered there is no insulation in the walls, ceilings of the 1st floor and to make matters worse, our furnace is located in the attic, which means the solution must push heat down to the lower level! This is a unique situation which called for unconventional solutions. Chris listened, educated , and offered budget friendly options, including those that did NOT use their services. He was a man of integrity, patience, and knowledge. We were very cold, and he could have taken advantage of the situation and sold us all kinds of services; but he didn't! That spoke volumes and this year I called him back and together we determined a plan of action to warm our home. On 12/31, the crew (Jordan, Tyler, Cameron, Brayden, and Jake) came out to perform the work. The guys were punctual (8:15am), professional, courteous, and worked non stop the get the work completed in a timely manner. They kept me in the loop of the work planned and a few minor changes to the plan, that often come with an older home. They cleaned up, actually left things cleaner than when they started (Don't judge me lol) I am extremely happy and I highly recommend DES and hopefully when you book your project(s), you will be lucky to have the awesome crew I had at your home.

I don't like giving out 1's on reviews but this one is certainly earned…read more Mid November we stopped in and discussed rebuilding our fireplace. We liked one fireplace in particular and discussed it's features. Next we had a representative stop by our home and measure the space. We were then told that the fire brick had to come out and an electric box had to be installed - and they don't do that work. We said we would like to proceed. They said ok. I talked with 3 different fireplace masons and 2 electricians. None would do this work because of the unknowns - so I did the firebox prepping myself. It took numerous texts and emails, (at least 20 as I got different answers every time,) to determine exactly what needed to be done. I finished the work in mid December. Since we were told that the equipment would be in to install in 6-8 weeks, in mid January I sent an email asking when we might see installation. I was told that they had not yet ordered it. They then told us that they need 1/2 down on it to proceed. There was no mention of this before then, in spite of a whole bunch of emails. So at that point I began looking for other fireplace services. We found a better service to use in DeGraff, OH that was cheaper, quicker, more responsive and had what we wanted. (And they would have done the fireplace prep work.) I don't recommend this place for redoing fireplaces. Communication is terrible.
