Clayton was so knowledgeable about chimneys. My husband watched him vacuum out the smoke shelf in both our chimneys, which made a big difference in the depth of cleaning they needed so badly. It is not part of what most chimney company's do, so I greatly appreciated Clayton taking the extra time for our house that he did. Will most definitely use his company again read more

I am very pleased with how knowledgeable and thorough Clayton was while he was cleaning our chimney. He went the extra mile to find a wasp's nest in the fresh air intake vent and extracted it!

Metro Chimney (Clayton) was very easy to get ahold of and schedule. He provided all the information I need to use my chimney safely and efficiently as well as did a wonderful job inspecting/cleaning it. The garbage bag is soot vacuumed out from the smoke shelf which he crawled into the fireplace to take care of. Even fixed my wobbly mantle. What he quoted me and what he charged me never changed, and it was incredibly reasonable. read more

We had Clayton from Metro Chimney remove our chimney this fall so that we could run HVAC vents in the channel.

We are lucky we found him, so I wanted to write this review to let others know as well! read more

Clayton re-built my chimney 5- 8 years ago. Excellent Job. A few days ago he inspected and cleaned my wood stove and chimney Removing fire bricks scrubbing the interior of the firebox.

Exceeds value. He has no fleet to maintain nor team to support. Just him. This keeps his cost down. Providing a competitive cost and value for services. Thanks Clayton read more

Chimney Sweeping. Damper device added due to gas starter. Work was very reasonably priced. The work was efficient and well done. He also advised on a regime to reduce and removed baked on creosote. Inspected the chimney on the roof with no additional charge. Even inspected my wood pile for logs that should not be used. Overall, excellent from start to finish. read more

Scheduled many times never showed up or even called. I would have to say very unprofessional

Easily the best chimney cleaner we've had. much more knowledgable and thorough than previous sweeps, and really cared about making sure our fireplace and chimney stay in good shape. They didn't just clean the chimney, they also gave us great tips to extend the life of the fireplace and make sure we aren't at risk of causing poor air quality or chimney fires. Will definitely have them back every year! The value for peace of mind and not having to replace the whole fireplace is unbeatable. read more

Clayton with Metro Chimney has worked with our extended family for well over a decade. He started maintaining my grandfather's fireplace first so when we bought our current home there was no doubt on whom we would call. The house came with a fireplace that had been heavily used but not maintained. In that current state it was unusable. The smell of creosote was intense. Clayton came out before the purchase of the home as part of our home inspection pre-purchase. He gave us a clear view on what we were looking at cost wise/work wise beforehand. It was very reasonable. He answered every question we had. Because of his history with other family members and professionalism we felt confident in purchasing the home knowing it would be taken care of afterward. This was important as we would be relying on the fireplace as a main source of heat in the future as we are rural. We bought in the autumn all those years ago and he was able to fit us into his tight schedule. Clayton cleaned out the entire structure from top to bottom, vacuumed out the smoke shelf, repaired out firebox, added a new damper, and closed the hole the decommissioned wood stove had been piped into in the next room. This all needed to be done before we could use the fireplace. Clayton gave us full instructions, in detail, on what we would need to do as upkeep until he came out for our first of many yearly cleanings. The creosote smell diminished greatly after his work and he recommended a product to use to prevent it from ever getting so bad again. We rest easy knowing we have Clayton as our guy. Each year we feel confident he is there annually to clean our chimney as we go into cold weather. The Hutchinsons read more

Clayton is VERY knowledgeable, thorough and has great customer service. Highly recommended!!!

I just purchased my home in November and I called on Clayton at Metro Chimney to clean and fix my chimney. I called on someone prior but they didn't show. So I was a little hesitant to try again. Not only was he early, he was very efficient and patient. He cleaned and fixed my fire box amazingly. If you want something done right then call Metro Chimney! read more

Metro Chinmey has serviced our fireplace for several years. Clayton has helped us maintain a safe chimney by informing on us on the best wood to burn, building a fire that creates less creosote and telling us about products to reduce creosote. I feel he is quite honest, gives great advice, and does not over-sell. He cleans up thoroughly and is polite. I will continue to use his services and recommend him to others. read more

Just called Metro Chimney to see if they could repair what I thought was a broken damper on our fireplace. The gentleman came right out, at the appointment time, and determined that the problem was just a dirty chimney and that a good cleaning (including a 10% discount thank you very much!) would be all we needed. He cleaned it, and gave us detailed information about what size fire would be the most effective for our type of fireplace, and all kinds of other helpful stuff. That guy knows a LOT about fireplaces and we appreciated all the information! Left the work area spotless. We are very impressed with this company and will have them back next year for another cleaning! read more

A friend recommended Clayton for a chimey sweep service. He identified several things that we needed to do to our chimney to addresses issues we didn't know about, such as cracks in the masonry and a buildup of creosote in the flue. Since we hadn't done a darn thing to the chimney since we bought the house in '06 (it was built in 1910), it wasn't hard to believe that we were behind on our maintenance. Clayton fixed us up with a high quality of work and customer service. His attention to detail gave us confidence in the job he did. Would definitely recommend. read more

Clayton was awesome - responsive, reliable, great rates, awesome work. Would recommend him in heartbeat!

Clayton did a great job on our 2 chimneys this summer. He worked through the very hot August days. We had another company do the chimneys a few years back, but they didn't do it right. Clayton came in, knew exactly what to do, explained it well to us and didn't need to deconstruct the chimneys the way another company had bid for about triple the cost. read more

I first met owner Clayton Von Isaacs about a year and a half ago when I put my rental house on the market. The buyer asked me to hire Clayton to do the chimney work as part of the repairs that I needed to have done in order to close the sale of the house. I was impressed with Clayton from the get go. His hard work and dedication are surpassed only by his experience, knowledge and love for what he does. I have a handful of rental houses, as well as my own home, and am always delighted when I find a contractor who is not only good at what they do, but truly enjoys their work. I have since had Clayton repair the chimneys on two other rental houses, as well as my own home. He has proven himself to be earnest and trustworthy, and I look to him to do whatever repairs he deems necessary. He is excellent at explaining everything he is going to (and why he is going to do it), in advance. I could count on him to keep me informed when he would be late or couldn't get to the job on any particular day. I have referred Clayton to two of my friends who hired him to do major chimney repair work. They both raved about him as well. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. If you need chimney cleaning or repair, consider yourself lucky if you are able to work with Clayton! Diane Lieppman read more

Within 15 minutes of requesting a quote via Yelp, Clayton called me. He cleaned the chimney of our wood burning stove two days later. He's reliable and extremely knowledgeable. He was efficient, clean, and friendly. Would definitely recommend. read more

Very thorough job cleaning my chimney. He put down ample carpet pads so nothing got dirty. His tips on helping me keep my chimney from getting this dirty again were appreciated. Very recommended! read more

I don't normally write reviews for merchants but Clayton was outstanding. Although I'v had my chimney for my wood stove cleaned every year, Clayton found grade 3 creosote build up in it, he took pictures for us so we could see how bad it was. He helped us figure out what we could do about it - things that didn't enrich him in any way. He was knowledgeable, helpful, specific, honest and took the time to make sure we understood the situation. We were very close to having a chimney fire and had no idea because we had had professionals out every year. I can't tell you how much I respect this man and value the service he provided us. He probably saved our lives. read more

Efficient, punctual and knowledgable! Great customer service and pride in his work. Will definitely be calling him again next year. Thank you, Clayton! read more
