Featured Reviews for Elgin, IL Chimney Services

SUPERIOR CHIMNEY SERVICES CORPORATION
Elgin, IL Chimney Services
February 27, 2018
“When I saw the other review, I just had to say something. I've used Superior Chimney for work done. They were professional, showed me detailed pictures and walked me through every one so I had a complete understanding of the work that needed to be done. Simply I cannot get to the roof, so the chimney on the roof came to me. Then when the work was time to get done, they came on time, were clean, showed me 'in progress' pictures, answered all my questions and did quite a superior job. They tuck pointed my chimney, cleaned up wonderfully and it looks great. Then on the inside, again, they were clean and respectful of my house and family room. There was nothing to clean up after them. This is what you can expect from them. I asked about training and system for doing work, they all were the same answer, which means a lot. It's not some are good chimney technicians, they all were. I'd hire them again in a second. Look at the work. It looks brand new, and it's not. Hope this helps if you're considering them to service your chimney and fireplace.”

“Great service and great company. I hired them for a chimney liner work and they did great. Did I mention they give lifetime warranty?”

“We could not be more pleased with Coast To Coast Masonry Group! Their professional handliing of our chimney project started with prompt communication, a courteous appointment and a detailed proposal. Any questions we had were immediately answered, and the project began on time as promised. Each day the craftsmen cleaned the work site - even raking the groundcover underneath the work area! The resulting chimney rebuild looks great, and we highly recommend Coast To Coast to anyone who needs masonry or brickwork!”

“Lindemann inspected my two chimneys and cleaned my fireplaces. They were very professional and clean. I will definitely use them again next year.”

“I had previously worked with the owner, Art, when I needed dryer vent services in my previous home. They did an excellent job with that, but what stood out the most was their professionalism, so I naturally thought of them again when I need gutters for the garage in my new home. His prices are more than fair, he shows up when says he will, and he stays until the job is done correctly - no cutting corners, no rushing through the work. Call them - you will not be disappointed!”

Why do I need to hire a chimney cleaner in Elgin, IL?


Fireplace cleaning always seems like a messy task, and that’s because it is. Creosote, better known as soot, forms when wood is not properly burned — unburned tar vapors stick in the flue, or walls, and are tricky to clean but can lead to chimney fires if not taken care of. In fact, about a quarter of all residential fires that occur in the United States are caused by creosote buildup. That fact alone should motivate you hire an Elgin chimney sweep as soon as possible! Other common problems that a fireplace and chimney inspection should catch are damaged or decaying mortar and joints, leaks that let in air or water, and even animal extraction. Chimney repair is an important part of keeping your entire Elgin home safe and sound, so keep yours in tiptop shape to reap its benefits safely.

The Chimney Safety Institute of America actually certifies chimney sweeps, so you know if they are CSIA certified that they will do a good (and safe) job. It’s recommended that you get a full chimney inspection once a year at least, so don’t hesitate to call a chimney service in Elgin, IL at any point during the year if you suspect something is not quite right.

Questions to ask a prospective Elgin chimney sweep near me:


  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Are you licensed and insured? (Check liability insurance and workman's compensation.)
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • How long have you been in business?
  • What do your services include?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When can this job get done?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
