What recent reviews say
Spotless Chimney delivers strong technical work across rebuilds and repairs, with technicians consistently praised for explaining issues clearly and backing explanations with photos. The crew shows up on time, completes major jobs efficiently (30-year-old chimneys in 3 days), and leaves sites clean daily. However, a small but vocal minority flag the front-end experience: the initial inspection carries a $250 fee not always disclosed upfront, and sales consultants push financing and upsells during estimates.
For homeowners committed to a major rebuild or repair, the on-site crew's expertise and diligence are hard to fault. Before booking, know what you're looking for and review the lifetime warranty conditions; the finance options lean toward higher-rate terms.
