What recent reviews say

Sam and Mike consistently show up on time or communicate early, handle chimney cleaning and repairs thoroughly, and explain every step so homeowners understand what's happening. They leave homes spotless, take real pride in their work, and solve problems other companies miss. Pricing lands slightly higher but reviewers say the quality and attention make it worth it.

Ironflue specializes in chimney cleaning, inspection, repair, cap work, and fireplace service across Eastern Connecticut. Technicians are certified, licensed, and insured with 15 years in the trade.
