I was having a problem with down draft after 1st storm in March. So I bought a wind resistant chimney cap. I called Brian at Safe Sweep Chimney and told him about my problem, to see if he could take a look down the liner, make sure I had no creosote build up contributing to my down draft and to put on the new cap. We were getting another storm the next day. So Brian said he would come that day, take a look in my chimney with his camera and get my stove running so I would be warm in case we lost power. So Brian showed up with Chris the next day right on time. Both of them so nice, so professional. The original cap looked like Cat in the Hat, all crooked. Brian had to cut the liner to make it look right. He definitely takes pride in his job and does the job right. And the camera is an awesome tool. I've had many chimney sweeps come here. Never fixed the crooked cap and never came with a camera to see inside the chimney. And price so reasonable. And no more down draft. Call Brian. He's the best. read more

I givee FIVE STARS to Safe Sweep Chimney ***** Last year I had my chimney cleaned twice and I had a chimney fire. So I had to find a reliable chimney guy. I researched for the most experienced chimney cleaner on the cape and found Brian at Safe Sweep Chimney. Brian has been cleaning and building chimneys, stone walls and patios for over 30 years. I was very impressed by his equipment, (I've never seen a high tech chimney sweeper), by his knowledge, his work ethic, and the fact that he leaves no mess. His pricing is very reasonable and he responded ASAP when I called. It's really refreshing to find a chimney guy who knows what he is doing and really cares. Thanks to Safe Sweep Chimney I feel safe using my wood stove again. I highly recommend and I love supporting locals. Alison Dowd 15 Mill Wheel Lane Pocasset MA 02559 617.292.3000 read more

About 3 weeks ago we called Sate Sweep about a chronically leaking old chimney and were amazed when Brian, the owner, answered the phone himself! We texted pictures and he came out the next day to see it. He took pictures, explained the problem clearly and told us he what he proposed to do to fix it. Within a couple of days he came with his guys fixed the cracks ,mortar , sealed it , repaired the crown as well as installing a cap. He has called us twice and messaged us after rain events to check that the chimney was not leaking...it is dry! Brian is honest, prompt and stands behind his work! We would definitely recommend Safe Sweep Chimney. You get to speak with the owner who will do the job not an answering service and there is great follow up to make sure the job is done right. read more

I live in Marstons Mills and had a problem with a leak in my chimney that no one seemed to be able to fix. I had two masons and three roofers work on it. This had been a long and stressful battle with this leak. I called SAFE SWEEP CHIMNEY and right from the beginning I got the WOW factor. The owner, Brian, actually answered the phone himself. I made an arrangement to meet him at my house and he checked out the problem. His communication was excellent. Every text I sent he answered almost immediately. He took the time to explain everything. He came up with a plan and fixed the problem in a very timely manner. After the job was complete, he checked in with me after two rainstorms to make sure the chimney didn't leak. I would recommend this company to anyone . read more

I contacted Brian after reading all the positive reviews on Yelp and I am so glad I did. We have been in our house on the Cape 21 years and this year I noticed water damage on my inside wall directly attached to the fireplace. I called Brian and he came out to the house in less than a week and explained that my chimney was retaining water which was leaking inside. He gave me options and then worked with me to find a perfect solution. When he came to the house to seal my chimney he also noticed an open area beside the chimney which he also sealed. We just went through a full NorEaster of rain and no water in the house! You will not be disappointed if you call Brian and his sons, prices are reasonable and he is great to work with. read more

Brian and his son were terrific to work with. He initially came to the house to assess the situation. I was getting water into the hearth when it rained fairly hard. Brian pointed out cracks in the outside brick and inspected the top of the chimney from the roof. He informed me of everything he wanted to do to fix the leaks. Brian and his son came back over two days when there was a window of good weather. Brian was very professional and took his time in repointing several areas of brick and making several other improvements to the chimney. After two heavy rain storms there has been no sign of water coming into the hearth. I would highly recommend Brian and Safe Sweep Chimney if you have any problem with your chimney. read more

We recently had Safe Sweep Chimney clean and inspect the chimney for our fireplace and coal stove. We were able to get an appointment right away! They were very professional and took great care to keep the area clean. Upon inspection, they found that inside both our fireplace and coal stove, the chimney was not sealed against the wall. This would have allowed the possibility of a spark to travel into the wall and cause a fire. So grateful they brought this to our attention and were able to fix it during the same visit. We can now confidently heat our home with our coal stove and enjoy nightly fireplace fires without worry. We will absolutely be scheduling another visit next year. read more

Brian and his SafeSweep team was professional, knowledgeable, and so careful with our home and chimney. He was clear, reassuring and very experienced. He cleaned and inspected the chimney, repaired some hearth bricks and mortar that was cracking, and was pleasant and respectful to both my wife and me. A good sense of humor but very properly mixed in with facts and estimates. He kept us informed on timing, weather, rescheduling, and all of this was quick, clear, and very helpful. I've already asked him to schedule us as annual inspection customers, and cleaning of course. Don't wait another minute - hire Brian and his team. They're great - and worth both the time and the $. read more

I recently worked with Brian to try to troubleshoot issues I was having with creosote buildup in my wood stove pipe.

He took the time to thoroughly look at each component from the pipe install , wood stove setup, right down to the type of moisture meter he recommends . Brian is clearly very knowledgeable in his field and came highly recommended. I would not hesitate to have Brian take care of all chimney / stove needs . Rosaleen C read more

The first time Brian and his son came to clean our chimney he noticed right away that the people who removed our wood stove had left the opening in the front covered with only a tin plate. Knowing that it was a hazard he filled it with cement. He recently came and was able to remove a faulty damper and came back in a few days to replace it with a better one. Both times they used a camera to check the inside of the chimney and then showed us. We will continue to call Safe Sweep to keep our chimney clean and our family safe! We highly recommend Brian and his crew. Steve and Sue Bender Mattapoisett read more

Brian is great! He came the day and time he told me he would. Very professional, him and his crew took there shoes off before coming inside. They put down drops to protect the floor. After completing the sweep I was provided with a video showing me exactly what was cleaned and how bad my chimney was. There was an area that needed mortar patching and he did it for me free of charge. Brian is excellent, honest and reliable is huge to me and you don't find people like this often. What a great guy and crew! Highly Recommend and will be using again as well as an exterior chimney repair. read more

This is the third year we've used Brian at Safe Sweep, and we cannot say enough about his professionalism, quality work, willingness to address unexpected problems that arise at our old houses, and genuine friendliness and can-do attitude. He arrives when he says (a quality missing from many Cape Cod businesses), his prices are competitive, and he is thorough and thoughtful in doing not only the service requested, but go beyond if the need arises. We have two old (small) houses on the Cape that we need to keep safe, so his company is aptly named. We'll call him yearly. read more

Brian Burkhead and his sons did a great job- from the initial call to setting expectations to arriving on time and finishing with a superb clean up as if they were never here. It was great to call Safe Sweep Chimney and have the owner pick up. Brian and his sons were very respectful of our house. He showed me the camera footage from his top to bottom flue inspection. He gave a couple of price quotes depending on what we wanted to do. In the end we got the chimney cleaned and inspected for $300. We decided to close/cap it for $200. 5 star experience! read more

Brian is reputable hard working individual, who came on short notice and cleaned our chimney and thought of the danger we faced with our wood stove, which was improperly installed. He called a colleague of his on the spot and recommended us to him to install a stove pipe, to assure our safety. I can't say enough of the care that he took and the excellent work he did to assure that my partner who is unfortunately under the care of Hospice and needs to be extra warm and comfortable in our living room. Brian is a Giant, Caring, Gentleman! read more

We had Brian and his crew out to work on our fieldstone fireplace and chimney and I can't say enough about these guys. They communicated well with us explained everything in detail that they needed to do and executed it in a timely fashion. We were impressed with the respect they showed not only the interior of the home but the exterior landscape also. Considering the scope of the project their prices were quite reasonable we will absolutely have them back in the future and would gladly recommend them. read more

I recently hired Safe Sweep Chimney to build my large outdoor patio (rectangular) with a circle kit built in, and a small grill rectangle, all attached. They did an incredible job.

I would highly recommend Safe Sweep Chimney to anyone looking to get a beautiful project done! read more
