Kingsborough Chimney Sweep

Waiting for Kingsborough Chimney Sweep to show up. Supposedly between 1-5 pm and so not late, just in middle of time frame. The scheduler-said he'd call when he was on the way I think. I am hoping to hear from him soon because it gets dark early and i want him to see the outside as well. Whole thing takes two hours so thats quite a while to wait; 1-5 with maybe not being done til seven. Im leaving this open for now.

Its now 4:07 and no call for time of arrival. No answer on main number. Ill assume it to be 5.would be nice to know since when you have a four hour window and 2hour service it sorta takes up your day. Im usually patient but i feel sick(not Covid) and need to get to walgreens or something. Just saying i hope this is worth Ok 4:32 and scheduler did not put me on the sheet(forgot) so no service today.

Down to three stars. Day pretty wasted. No work done for me. Hope the reschedule between 9-10 works and i can bump up stars. Im really disappointed because I coulda got in a dr appt very needed and maybe a lot of other things that take concentration and not being available for the "I'm on the way" call. I-realize mistakes happen but couldn't be worse timing.

Oh and i was offered $10 off. OK EDITED REVIEW NOW THAT DAYS AND TIMES HAVE BEEN STRAIGHTENED OUT. VERY SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE OVERALL. Sean, the tech was knowledgeable, polite and professional. All checked out and mission accomplished. Putting the error in schedule behind. More important things to do, like enjoying my fireplace at the moment.

Didn't provide photos of the chimney that were supposed to be emailed even after numerous requests.

The men from Kingsboro Chimney Sweep were AMAZING! They got the job done efficiently and professionally. Very reasonably priced, too! I whole heartedly recommend this company.

This company is the simply just the very BEST. We had a horrible situation finding out the hard way with our dryer exhaust that was not non-existent. We were highly recommended to Kingsborough Chimney Sweep. They came out during their absolute belief season and came to our rescue! I could not be happier from scheduling this job and the owner of Kingborough was very much involved. Hats off to these people! I will continue to use Kingborough - they are by the very best.

We had a great experience with Kingsborough. They arrived on time, did the work quickly, gave us some advice and we paid the same quoted amount. Shawn was very friendly and knowledgable. Recommended!

Great service! Shawn answered my questions, told me what was creating so much soot, corrected the log placement, and showed me how to light a fire without creating a massive fireball. He was HONEST and didn't try selling me a cleaning when I didn't need one. I'll definitely use this company again. Knocking a star off because my initial appointment went by without a call or show. Turns out my sheet didn't get picked that morning, which is an unfortunate accident, but caused a reschedule and some annoyance on my end.

Stay away from this place. Used them a few times. The tech always used our bathroom without permission and left it a mess. I called the owner, who stuck up for his employee and then fired us!

Company provided me with the services as promised and we're very professional with the cleaning of my chimney and air ducts and brick repair of my Chimney. Great experience would highly recommend.

Sean from Kingsborough first came to my townhouse to inspect the fireplace as one of the contingencies in my purchase contract. He was thorough and on time. He pointed out a small crack on the interior, but told me not to worry about it as it isn't significant. Now a few months later I had him install a river rock insert. He knew just the right way to optimize the look of the rocks. Never upsold me. I've already recommended Kingsborough to a friend.

Did a great job cleaning the chimney and the guys were very friendly. They quoted further recommended work and it was over double other highly rated companies! Careful of pricing! Scott H. (earlier rater) was spot on! We took the word of a previous owner.glad we did research!

Kingsborough Chimney Sweeps did a phenomenal job and spend 8 hours cleaning my 3 chimneys, all heating/cooling ductwork, dryer vent, and sanitized the ductwork, as well. Sean and his partner were extremely polite, knowledgeable and the clean up following the project was very thorough. The team also sealed the large brick chimney and repaired cracks in the chimney crown and sealed the crown with Chimney Saver Crown Coating. They also replaced the 3 flue caps with stainless steel caps. They performed a lot of work in just one day and never stopped until they were finished. Very impressive!

Received several recommendations for Kingsborough Chimney Sweeps. They had a seasonal Special which I took advantage. I never used my fireplace out of fear and after Sean cleaned and inspected my fireplace I'm anxious to begin using it. Sean called an hour before and when he was on his way. Great customer service. Gave me some recommendations which I'm considering.

Very happy with the service performed. Sean called an hour before arrival. He was very professional and friendly. The whole fireplace cleaning took 30 minutes. The price did seem a bit high even with the local discount. But was also lower than others in the area.

Sean and Scott came to put a new cover on the roof for the dryer vent. They showed up on time and very friendly. Explained what they were doing and gave me an idea how long it would take. They finished there job within the same time they had said they would. They both were very professional.

I have been using Kingsborough for years, I've always had a good experience. Timely, thorough, and knowledgeable with competitive pricing.

Sean did a fantastic job installing a stainless steel lining system in my chimney and replacing and reconnecting piping in my basement. Also installed a top plate kit and stainless raincap. The work was completed in the time period that I was told it would be and they were neat and clean working on the indoor portion of the job. Dean is friendly and extremely professional and explained everything about the job to me. I wish that I had a fireplace, so that I could use them to care for it!

The pricing structure seemed high for the work that was performed. After speaking with the owner about his products and the experience that his company brought to the job, as well as seeking information from other contractors and researching additional data about the process and products used, we felt that we definitely overpaid. Make sure to do your research and get several estimates ahead of time. We based our decision to use this company on a personal recommendation and that was a mistake.

I live in an older house and we had never used the fireplace since we moved in 8 years ago. I called Kingsborough and told them all I wanted was an inspection and a cleaning. They told me the technician would be at my house within a four hour time frame but they always call (which he did) when they are one hour out. The technician was very professional and he did a great job. He recommended a new liner and another sealer that is required for safety on new builds, but did not make a hard sell just recommended it. Good company to use.

Excellent job. Friendly and knowledgable technicians. Office called to confirm appt and tech called an hour prior to arrival so I didn't have to sit home and wait. They cleaned my dryer vent and I am very satisfied.

Heater kept turning itself off due to exhaust being clogged. Furnace guy shut it all down and said he doesn't do exhaust work. I called Kingsborough. They came out the next day. within an hour he cleared out a huge birds nest and had the heat up and running. Doubt I ever need a chimney sweep again but if I did I would definitely use this one again.

I recently had a quote for over a thousand dollars for some work to get done on my chimney. It didn't seem right and I wanted a second opinion. After looking on Yelp I found Kingsborough. The tech. took pictures and showed me what was wrong and fixed it the same day. All for under $200. Wow what a difference!

Replaced chimney cap and new stainless steel liner installed. We called to have them replace a chimney cap that had fallen off and asked them to check our chimney attached to the hot water heater. We knew there was a leak, and weren't sure if we needed a cleaning or a new liner. They came out and took pictures of the inside showing us where the old clay liner had collapsed and was blocking the venting.

They installed the liner, gave us a new chimney cap, cleaned out all the debris inside (we were shocked at how much crud there was inside) and they even sealed the hole in the wall. They did a phenomenal job and the workman kept the house clean and tidy. We also have a fireplace that won't work because it shares another chimney with our furnace, and they gave us several options to get our fireplace working again. We plan on using them for that work in the future.

Our chimney had never been cleaned in the 5 years we've lived in our place, so I figured it had to filthy, right? Well, not so much. Kingsborough came out, took one look at my chimney and said "yeah.this is pristine. We don't need to clean it." They could have taken my money and run, and I really appreciate the honesty! I ended up paying for just an inspection instead of a cleaning. While he was here, the guy also took a peek at my dryer vents, which he also deemed clean. I will absolutely have them come back in a few years to check things out again!

Clean, courteous, and efficient. We used this service to sweep our chimney and to clean our dryer vent from the outside in. I am extremely pleased with the friendly service, how neat they were, and their willingness to explain how they do what they do.
