I'm glad that I called Dave, Noways It is difficult and rare to see and meet people like him, knowledgeable, professional, and honest . He really show willingness to help and give a valuable service. I called him and he came promptly to clean and inspect the chimney. it was not difficult for him. You can notice the years of experience. He explain to me in very simple way and clear all the components on my setup and how to take care, use it in a proper manner including safety recommendation. He left everything ready to fire up same night which indeed I did and everything worked perfectly. Definitely I will call him again next spring to continue taking care of my fireplace. Thanks again Dave. read more

Dave is an absolute gem. He clearly communicated what was worth fixing and what would require more of an overhaul. He is completely honest and a pleasure to do business with. Will definitely be calling him back for future cleanings. read more

Look, we didn't know whether our chimney needed cleaning. We just bought the house. So we give Dave a call and he comes over and says nope, it doesn't need it, you're fine. He's got one price for cleaning and a lower one for inspection, and the thing is that he absolutely knew he could have charged me for a cleaning, and done like no work, and I would have happily paid him. And then after that, I'm - remember this is the first real house I've lived in, it was all cities before - so I'm like can you explain how all of this works? Which part of my living room am I supposed to light on fire? And he walked me through all of it so I wouldn't make a total ass of myself burning the house down in front of our new neighbors, who seem very nice. Hi Maureen! I bet Maureen's never burned a single house down. Look, Dave is honest and pleasant and he knows his stuff. He's a good guy. He can do mortar work too, FYI. He only works in Arlington! Maybe Belmont, I don't remember for sure, but nowhere else! You should move here and buy a house with a chimney just so you can have Dave check it out. Or call me, I'm an expert now. You just light part of your house on fire, is what you do. read more

Came promptly, inspected and reported that chimney did not need cleaning but was missing cap Installed new cap promptly very nice to work with and reasonably priced read more

I called Dave to ask for help with a chimney leak. From the start of the conversation, he was honest and straightforward. He was genuinely interested in my problem and took time to offer his professional advice. He spent at least 15 minutes discussing possible causes, things I should look for and things I should avoid. He even stayed on the phone with me while I went outside to look at my chimney cap! Ultimately, he felt that I needed an inspection with more equipment than he has, so he recommended a company that he trusts to do good work. Dave went above and beyond to help me today and to make sure I got the right solution to my problem -- regardless of whether he'd profit from it or not. Given that's how he runs his business, I'd recommend him to anyone!! read more

Dave is great! Very knowledgeable, honest and professional. Fixed the flue damper and cleaned the chimney. Our house is over 100 years old so we take great care in finding the best. I highly recommend Davis Chimney! Dave came highly recommended by many in our Waban MA neighborhood. I'm very glad we reached out to him. Price was very reasonable. read more

This was the 1st time I used DCC, and was delighted. I did my homework and checked the other companies in the area (expect an extra $100 or more if they are located in Boston). Dave called my back the same day I left a call, and was able to fit me in the same week. He inspected and cleaned my fireplace (even sealing a couple small cracks he found under the soot), and ensured he did not leave a mess. Honestly, a great guy and will be using him again in the future. No red flags, no issues. read more

Found Dave through a local Facebook group, and he came so highly recommended that we had to try him. Gave him a call and was able to reach him - he told me that he's not the best at returning voicemails (as he is so popular), and the best way to book an appointment is to get him live on the phone. He was out in a matter of days, and arrived at exactly the time he had said he'd be there. He gave our fireplace / chimney a thorough inspection, and gave us some great pointers on keeping it in good condition. As we are local (he is also in Arlington), we also got a coupon towards a cleaning. Great experience, and looking forward to using Davis again. read more

Honest, trustful and just a nice guy! I called him today he picked up right away and within a couple hrs came by my house to give me a quote! I am always looking for small businesses to trust locally and this guys is your guy! He told me there was nothing wrong with my fireplace and it was safe to use, didn't try to sell me anything or make something up to get paid. (Which has happen from another big company) thank you Davis I would recommend him 100% and I will call you with any problems in the future and to get a cap for my fireplace! read more

Dave was awesome! As first time homeowners (and fireplace owners) we had no idea how to take care of our fireplace. Dave arrived on time, quickly cleaned and inspected our fireplace and chimney, and took the time to walk us through the care of a fireplace. He even took the time to teach us how to build a proper fire! He is also super fun to chat with and very nice. I highly recommend his services. read more

Great guy! Was really helpful. Didn't want to charge me for something I didn't need. Was honest and upfront.

Had Davis Chimney come out a few years ago to clean chimney. Was told we needed a stainless steel liner. Had him do the work. Seemed to be fine until a couple of years later was told it wasn't a complete job. Thought that company was looking for work so didn't do anything about it. Just had a another company clean the chimney. Said the same thing. Very disappointed. In order to fix it's going to cost $$$. On another note I called a different company initially because Davis never returned calls. When I finally reached him he was rude. read more

Due to heavy rain last night, I was getting rain/water in my chimney and fire box. First thing this morning I called to get someone to come and inspect my chimney. I explained the issue, and the guy told me I need a cap. I have a cap. He asked me where I was, I told him Medford, and he told me that he was too far away. His webpage says he's in Arlington, and when I said that I thought he was in Arlington, he said, I know where I live. Arlington is next to Medford. He was nasty and condescending. Obviously not someone I would want to do business with. read more

I hired David back in March of this year 2017 to clean our chimney and he did a great job!! No complaints!

Dave installed a beautiful new double chimney cap on my house. He did a fabulous job. He explained in detail all my options available, at various prices. He performed the job immediately, at a fair price. He is friendly, knowledgeable and reliable. I intend to have him clean my chimney shortly, and repair the damper as well. I am so glad to have found such a great service provider. read more

This guy is such a nice gentleman! He comes on time, if their is any change in the schedule due to rain, calls you up and lets you know in a timely manner. He did the job very quickly, he cleaned up well and his quote was very reasonable! He has 30+ years of experience + he is located in Arlington -- highly recommended... read more

Dave is fantastic. Super honest, fair and personable. Highly recommend and will gladly use him in the future!

Dave responded quickly to my inquiry about cleaning my chimneys, and came by in a couple days. He gave a time window when he would arrive, and came right on time. Dave left the fireplace area totally clean after sweeping the chimney. For the furnace and water heater chimney, Dave inspected it, and said it looked good, so it did not need cleaning. It's great to find an honest contractor, and one who charges reasonable prices. I highly recommend Davis Chimney to anyone in the Arlington area. read more

I was a little nervous using this company with only one review, but I am so glad I did! I needed someone to look over the fireplace in my new house before Christmas. Dave was able to fit me in the very next day, and he did such a great job. He basically renovated my outdated fireplace for me, including cementing up holes, taking off outdated and broken pieces, and showing me how everything works, without charging me any more than he originally quoted for just the cleaning. He was really honest and knowledgeable. I'll definitely be going back to Davis Chimney for all our future fireplace needs! read more

Nice guy, honest, knows his stuff. Very fair prices. He will tell you if something does or does not need to be fixed. Have used him several time over 5+ years. read more

Well, I wouldn't know about his service because he said he won't clean a chimney for a fireplace with a wood stove. But I tried to call for a quote and he was incredibly rude on the phone and I barely got my question out before he hung up on me. It makes me wonder how people like that stay in business. read more

Dave Davis is the best. Very satisfied with service and price. Always returns phone call, very professional and carefull
