What Our Clients Say

The chimney work turned out to be much more difficult than expected but the team went about it with good humor and dedication - totally impressive in the very cold and very snowy weather we were having. Team showed up on time, communicated the plan and there was only one small hiccup which was the second chimney was understood to be a "closing" while I had thought it was an evaluation. No big deal and they offered to stuff it with wool until a next plan could be made. Great service, great work, will definitely refer this company to anyone who asks!

Kristin Barbieri

NEW SERVICES UPDATE 2026: Fire Place MantelsDavid was the kindest tech I have ever had a chance to work with. He took on my project of sculpting an old lost piece of barn wood into a masterpiece. David found the true soul utilizing the natural wave and woodworm holes to find the perfect balance of traditional and modern. Chamfered edges and all, we all would be lucky enough to work with a business and man of his talent. Good luck on future woodworking projects large and small!

Joshua Finn

The whole process from my first call through inspection, and contracting, was transparent and courteous. Installation was amazing - the technicians were organized, clean and courteous. They left my house as clean as it was when they arrived. The process was quick and seamless. Have already recommended to a friend.

Gabriel Petino

I found the team to be very interesting and patient about me watching and asking questions as they worked. They seemed to appreciate my interest and curiosity and happy to explain everything. They were considerate and neat in their work. These are definitely my chimney people from now on.

Joshua Jacks

I was very satisfied with this crew. They installed a new liner and rebuilt my chimney, and it went smoothly from beginning to end. Their professionalism is impeccable, and they are very reliable and pleasant to deal with. I would recommend them to anyone who needs chimney repairs in the future.

I have been using Best Chimney for over 20 years and would not go with any other company. The customer service, professionalism, talented staff, quality of work, in addition to the positive attitude and value for the services provided, is second to none in the Boston area.I have been very fortunate to have worked with Rich since 2003 and so happy to hear his voice every time I call with a service question or to schedule a service call.More recently I have had the extreme pleasure of having Mason be the lead on installing a stainless steel chimney liner for me and conduct a fire test for work recently completed. Even though there was a challenge with the size of the liner, due to my chimney being narrower in the middle, Mason was able to easily troubleshoot, find the correct size and have the installation completed shortly after the initial visit.Mason returned today to conduct a fire test to ensure everything was in working order and supplied the necessary paperwork for my property management company at our condo association to prove that my fireplace is in working order and safe to use.Mason's professionalism, leadership, critical thinking skills, positive/can-do attitude and easygoing manner were most impressive. I want to also commend the trainees that I met on both visits, Ron, Julio and Leo. All were models of customer service and professionalism and very happy to be with Best Chimney. It was obvious they were very pleased to be training under Mason and had a high level of respect for him. Best Chimney is doing something very right by having someone as capable as Mason and trainees as eager to learn as the three gentleman that I met during my service calls. Thank you!

Stacy Sweeney

Both Rich and Nate were very helpful in scheduling my appointment and writing up the technical details of the condition of my chimney. This has been very helpful as I plan to sell my home and demonstrate the condition of the premises and chimney.

Rob Mendelsohn

I recently had a new fuel liner installed and a new chimney cap. My entire experience from start to finish was fantastic. Everyone was polite and very nice to deal with. Mason did a fantastic job , left the property very clean and was very professional. Rich was great in communicating and getting my quote to me immediately. . He answered all my questions and made setting up the appointment very easy. I highly recommend Best Chimney for whatever your chimney needs are. They will not disappoint.

Gayle

Great experience! Really kind and patient team which was important to us as we had a newborn at home while they were doing the work. Felt comfortable and confident with all the work they did! Highly recommend.

Michaela McWain

On time and communicated when he was on his way- quoted a reasonable price and was able to do the job right away and provide photos of completed work since I can’t see up on the roof- would definitely recommend to anyone looking for chimney services.

Bayla Shepley

The team did a great job working on our chimney project. They were very good at updating me when they'd be here and exactly what they were doing each day. And the chimneys now look fantastic, great work.

Thom Theara

I recently moved into a new home and had an odor coming out of the fireplace. Best Chimney Services inspected, diagnosed, and remediated our fireplace for our home. The team was quick, professional, and experienced. Would highly recommend.

Luke Tedesco

I received a quote from Dave’s chimney service that was 290% higher than Boston best chimney. More than twice as much. BBC came out here and did an awesome job rebuilding my chimney from roof up, installing a liner for my appliances And sweeping my wood stove stack. I’m grateful that there are still companies out there that don’t try to rip off hard working people! I totally recommend Best Chimney Service!

John Peltier

Everyone that we worked with from office administrators to technicians was great! Super knowledgeable and explained the whole process! We plan on coming back to Best Chimney for some future masonry work. They're fantastic!

Aimee M

Great experience with Bostons Best Chimney. Douglas was on time, communicated well and very personable. They worked efficiently, explained their process and provided very reasonable assessment and recommendations. Would work with this company again

Sophie

Boston's Best was very professional on the phone handling our initial inquiry. They came out same day to provide a competitive quote. It took about a month for the scheduled work to start. The team who completed the job were professional and courteous and worked through some nasty weather. Our chimney was rebuilt from the roof-line.

Adam DiVincenzo

I was super impressed with both their work and their customer service. They originally came to re-point my chimney and add a cap because of some heat issues we were having and the job ended up being more complex. They were super transparent the whole time and even squeezed us in to finish the job so we didn’t have to take our scaffolding down. I would definitely hire them again if I ever needed chimney work.

Danielle Hamilton

Nate was excellent and took good care of us. He was in our house multiple times due to the nature of the work being done and he was always very professional and never left a mess behind. Our experience dealing with the office staff was very positive as well. Everyone was very responsive and fair in our dealings. We are very happy and will continue to use Best Chimney for our annual sweep. Keep up the great work!

Ryan McCarthy

When my chimney suddenly collapsed, I needed urgent help removing it from my home. Best Chimney not only provided a very reasonable quote but also prioritized my job, fitting me into their schedule as soon as possible due to the safety hazard. The chimney ran through the middle of my three-story multifamily home, yet their team worked quickly, professionally, and with incredible care to minimize any damage. They were meticulous in protecting my space, even laying down blankets under their equipment to prevent any damage to my apartment. Their attention to detail and professionalism exceeded my expectations, and I’m extremely grateful for their outstanding service. Highly recommended!

J Wei

Cannot recommend enough Best Chimney and in particular David and his team. I did quite a bit of research before I found them due to a friends recommendation, and it was worth the wait. They were the most knowledgeable, respectful, reliable and fair, and I couldnt be more pleased after working with them relining my three story chimney. Extremely competent but also easy going. I also believed they saved me money by not overselling me work that other companies seemed to try to do. So very much appreciated!!!

Pam Choi

Best Chimney lived up to their name! They were quick, responsive, and thorough. The folks that came to our house to do the work were great! I'm happy to recommend them to people who are looking to make their chimney safer. Speaking of which, I'm going to go light a fire in the fireplace now!

Dave Lind

Let me just start by overall I had a very positive experience from initial contact, scheduling, inspection, the liner work itself, and the follow-up. I waited two days as per the technician's recommendation to start using my fireplace again and so far, no issues. Everything is working as expected and I'm happy with the results. The onsite crew went above and beyond clearing out the recent snow off the roof and made a pathway to get to the roof. They took their shoes off and laid out blankets around the fireplace like total pros. So A+ guys. Really great job. I only have a few comments that would make the experience better. 1. A heads up call to let me know you're running late would be great so I didn't have to call the office thinking there was an issue. 2. The crew had to go back and forth to get supplies and different size liner so being better prepared would go a long way but overall they were able to get it done. 3. A little more time and care spent on the clean up would be next level. 4. Asking where to put the damper bracket in the firebox and give feedback before installing would have been great. That's all. Like I said, overall everything was great. Thanks you guys!

Steve

I am very pleased with the services that I received from Best Chimney. Their price proposal was very reasonable, they were very responsive to my inquiry, did excellent quality work and on time as promised. I needed to have two of my chimneys demolished to attic level due to deterioration of the brickwork and rebuilt. Then, I also had Best Chimney install liners and a chimney cap. All of the work was done on schedule and on budget. The chimneys were rebuilt with the phenomenal workmanship. When Reggie was here to give me an estimate for the chimney work, he said that he could also have a mason repoint the stone masonry and brickwork of my basement walls (my house is about 150 years old) that sorely needed this work. Shane from Best Chimney, who had rebuilt my chimneys, came by and did the repointing, which was a laborious endeavor, but again, the workmanship was of the highest quality and done within the promised schedule and budget. Shane and his assistants were very courteous and worked quietly out of sight. When they finished, they cleaned up all of the areas where they had worked. Based on this experience, I can honestly vouch for the professionalism, quality, and attention to customer satisfaction of the services that I received from Best Chimney and I would strongly recommend Best Chimney to any homeowner who needs any work, chimney or masonry rebuilding, done in their house.

Alex Forth

We are so very pleased with the services that we received BOTH times we requested help from your company. Most recently, David and his crew came to our house to install a liner in our fireplace/chimney. He was wonderful - and he and his crew appeared fearless (and safety minded) as they undertook the task the morning after our 1st snowy winter storm ended! He impressed us as not only being knowledgable and very skilled at his work, but was also very personable/pleasant. He was great. We will most definitely use your company again should the need arise and will gladly refer Best Chimney Services to neighbors and friends. Thank you.

Lisa Langhammer

would like to thank Rich with all his help in scheduling and response to questions and logistics given a new furnace was being installed the day after the liner install. Both installers were particular about the quality of the install. The only suggestion would be to consider the amount of the fee for permitting which excludes the cost of a city/town permit. Thank you Best Chimney.

Robert Joseph

Appointment was easy to schedule. We've been customers for twenty years. We use a wood-burning fireplace insert and need to verify that our flue is not building up any dangerous creosote deposits. Michael and his assistant (sorry, forgot your name) were in and out in thirty minutes with a sweep and clean bill of health. Price is reasonable too, for the peace of mind this service affords. Will continue to use Best Chimney Services. Highly recommend...

Jim Meaney

Representatives of Best Chimney who provided me the original estimate and also did the installation were professional, friendly and answered all my questions ... top of the crown. Office support staff was also very helpful and responsive to any ??'s I had during the entire process .... strongly would recommend Best Chimney when considering any work needed in this area,

Steve Dailey

While there were a number of hiccups with the process- damaged part, last minute appointment cancellation and the incorrect parts on installation day (the correct part was driven to my house and it only added 1/2 hour), I would still recommend this company. They kept me informed throughout the process and I appreciated the care James and his assistant put forth in the installation. I now have a safe, working fireplace!

Jeffrey Trencher

Aria in the front office was super helpful and friendly, responded to my requests/questions immediately.The crew arrived on time and worked diligently to complete the job. They were respectful of my property and ensured that everything was clean and tidy before they left.

Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction are truly top-notch.Thank you to the entire team at Best Chimney Services, Inc. for a job well done!

Brenda S

I have to say your company has the best customer service I’ve experienced in a long time. Fantastic follow up, professionalism, friendly and competent team. I was very impressed with everyone I interacted with. The quality of the masonry and chimney liner team was outstanding. Our hundred year old chimney was leaning from our second roof up. Best chimney set up scaffolding and rebuilt the chimney. Great work and tidy on cleanup. We also had a liner installed and new vent piping installed to meet code. Again great work and tidy cleanup in our basement. Boston chimney took care of everything from permit to inspection.

Maggie McCabe

BEST CHIMNEY Services clearly lives up to its name. I had them to my house Saturday morning to install a new chimney liner. These two guys worked feverishly while they were here. They were polite and kind as well. I’m so glad I used this company.BEST CHIMNEY Services should be happy and proud to have Kevin and Freddy working for them. In a word they were FANTASTIC!! I should also mention they were extremely knowledgeable!!

Judith Kelleher

An amazing group of professionals that get the job done. I have a 120 year old chimney, with twists and turns, a brick was in the way, and an inside wall had to be opened to remove it. I was nervous! James opened a small area then re-bricked it. Many of the crews showed up. They left my house spotless! James did the bulk of the work and proved both knowledgeable and professional.From the moment you contact them, to the finished product was seamless! I did my research and immediately recognized BostonChimney was superior! Their prices are reasonable, the service outstanding. I highly recommend Boston Chimney!Bill Corcoran

w c

For 10+ years we were unable to use two fireplaces in our house, due to smoke problems. We repeatedly asked chimney sweep companies to find the problem but were told there wasn't a problem other than, maybe, poor draft, which was never an issue previously. We called Best Chimney and the problem was fixed. It was expensive, but we expected that, and now we can use the two fireplaces. Very very happy with the quality of the work. Thank you!

SAS

Everyone I spoke or emailed with at Best Chimney has been extremely nice, knowledgeable, and easy to work with.I moved into a very old house where two gas log fireplaces had been installed and I was concerned about the state of the setup. Best Chimney informed me that they didn't do inspections of gas fireplace units they did not install, which was understandable, but the person who came out was able to answer a bunch of the questions I had about the units. I ended the appointment with a much better understanding of the state of the house's chimney, as well as some options of how to fix it.Also, I really appreciated that the technician who came out, Shawn, wore shoe protectors inside the house without prompting (it was raining) and he and his team member cleaned up after they were done with the inspection.

Cole G

Great hard working team, the chimney work looks great and the piping in the cellar for the oil burner looks clean and neat. The team was friendly, and cleaned up the area Well, really nice all around. I would highly recommend you to anyone needing chimney and or flue lining service. They also provided before and after photos of the work. Really nice.

Scott Haigh

Brenda S

Everyone on the Best Chimney team exhibits excellence in their work and the highest level of customer care. It's a pleasure to work with you!

Evan Medoff

Best Chimney did a great job installing our SS flue liner and a new chimney cap. They shared pictures showing the sealing of the liner at the top and bottom of the flue when they were done. The price was very fair, and the crew was professional and courteous.

John Putnam

Responsive, responsible, professional and courteous. They inspected our two chimneys and provided a detailed estimate of what repairs and treatments were recommended: including time frame and costs. They repaired what was necessary and within our budget. The job was performed as promised: on-time and within the estimate even though they did a few extra tasks such as power-washing the moss off the nearby walkway and driveway of one of our chimneys. Highly recommend and will use again in the future. Great company

Monica Picarella

Kevin and Shane are very professional, courteous, and patient with our questions at the project site. They are knowledgeable about the contract work to be performed installing our new chimney liner and cap while protecting our property, roof and skylights during the installation. They are consistent, very neat about the work site and cleaned up after construction both outside and in our basement. If wish all work crews were this professional. Chad Wilson was very reassuring during his estimating visit when we first discussed the installation of the liner for our chimney flue and worked with the office manager to address all of our immediate questions before undertaking and scheduling the work. The office management and staff worked closely with us to address our requirements for licensing, insurance and Town permits and were diligent and provided very timely responses. Reserving final judgment because Town building inspector needs to review but so far everything went smoothly. Would definitely work the Best Chimney again for our future needs.

Kathleen Kummer

The crew were super knowledgeable and helpful. We had them come for one thing and they wound up finding an important sytrctural challenge we never would have known about. They had all the solutions and explained everything along the way. I cannot recommend them enough!

Dana Benjamin

I appreciate the friendly staff at Best Chimney. From booking an appointment (where someone explained chimney anatomy with me), to phone interactions, and the kind and professional workers at our appointment, we had a very positive experience.

Emily Cody

I've hired this company several times over the years and the first word that comes to mind is professional. Fair prices, the technicians come when they say they will (if not earlier!), they answer all questions fully and patiently, and they do what they say they will. The last time, they had a bit of unexpected extra work but still stuck with the agreed upon original quote. Will hire them again whenever I need this kind of work done!

Paul Saitta

I greatly appreciate Best Chimney scheduling this job to be done asap because I needed a new furnace and was not up to code. They moved things around to accommodate me. The chimney liner was installed in a morning and communication was great. Thank you

James McGough

I have water leakage above one window close to Chimney. I contacted Best Chimney Service and scheduled an appointment. Dave came to my house on time. He checked the window location, the attic and the top of the roof with his drone, he told me that my chimney has no leak and doesn't need to be fixed. Dave and his crew are very nice, patient and honest. I will definitely use Dave for my Chimney service next time.

Old Friends

David and his assistant were friendly and professional, plus knowledgeable about their equipment and fireplaces/chimneys. They didn’t mind removing their shoes at the door either, which some workmen really complain about. They were friendly with our dog and they left everything as clean as they found it. I would wholeheartedly recommend David to anyone.

bran james

Conor arrived on time and he and his co-worker cleaned and evaluated the chimney quickly and efficiently. Very easy process for us from start to finish. I will always call on you to do this work for us

Janet Aucoin

My experience with the company and employees has been excellent. Nice people, competent workers, easy scheduling and reasonable pricing. Now I have to wait and see how the chimney brick sealing holds up in heavy rains. I’m optimistic!

Arthur Fulman

We recently had our chimney relined by Best Chimney. From the moment we reached out to Best Chimney, we were impressed with customer service. They were courteous and extremely responsive. The technicians were unbelievable!! Very professional, cleaned up after themselves and were very knowledgeable! They were able to answer all of my questions and happy to visually show me what they were doing. I would highly recommend Best Chimney to friends and family. They are reliable, punctual, passionate about their work and affordable. What an outstanding experience!

Lil Holbrook

We first found Best Chimney Services while seeking a bid for a chimney exhaust fan. This was our first chimney cleaning post fan installation and the results more than justified getting the fan. We will make a cleaning by BCS a yearly event.

Judson Harward

A tech came out the same day I called for an emergency we were having and solved our problem so we could finally get heat and hot water after two weeks dealing with a nightmare from another company. Best Chimney is now my go to company.

Diana Wojcik

I recently had my chimney vent fixed by Best Chimney, and I was very impressed with their service. The technician was on time, professional, and knowledgeable. He explained everything he was doing and answered all of my questions. He also made sure to clean up any mess before he left.I would definitely recommend Best Chimney to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable chimney service. Here are some of the things I liked about their service:

Rafael Acosta

Kevin and Tevin were great, very friendly, efficient and offered several options to maintain the chimney to extend it's life beyond the current 90 years. I'm having Kevin and his team install a chimney cap and close unused flues.

Mark Yorra

Your masonry team (Reggie, Steve and professionals) are terrific doing exceptional, quality work and meeting all aspects of customer project goals. Not only are they skilled but a pleasure to work with.

Dave Olsson

They did a great job, and we would use them again, and recommend them to others. However, to improve, pl ask them to do a better clean up job in future.

Deepak Singh

Total professionals from start to finish - from the back office staff to the onsite pros. Would recommend Best Chimney to anyone and everyone. We are so looking forward to using the fireplace again!

Dave Abbott

Very professional service. It was a more complicated fix than anticipated, but Connor and Juan did a great job. Highly recommend.

Wendy Berger

David Spect was really great throughout this process. He is very knowledgeable and a good communicator. The new shroud looks excellent!

reed dickinson

Best Chimney Services provided me with exceptional, courteous, and responsive customer service from start to finish. Logan, the chimney technician, that repointed my chimney was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and meticulous in his work. Aria and Reggie were so helpful, responsive and informative throughout the process. Very reasonably priced for the work they did. Outstanding company and experience!

Susan

Two of your employees visited my house for inspection, one an inspector and the other was a mason specialist. Both were extremely polite, knowledgeable and professional. Very satisfied, thank you !

Steve Santos

Matthew was very professional and helpful. He called me ahead of time to let me know when they were arriving and when he arrived he was very thorough and informative. Would highly recommend these guys.

Brian Whalley

Thank you Best Chimney for your thorough assessment of my chimneys! For a home that is approximately 100 years old, I knew work would be needed to get my fireplaces up and running! I am so grateful to your team for the wonderful service. The technician explained everything needed in great detail! This was the 2nd opinion of 3 I received and felt most comfortable with your knowledge and expertise! The installations of the liners and fireplace repairs went very smoothly and I look forward to working with you on any future chimney or masonry projects!!!

Rach W

A+ all around. Needed to get debris removed from a steam boiler exhaust vent. These guys did an absolutely amazing job and showed up 20 minutes early for an emergency call. I will use them again whenever I need to and definitely will refer to anyone in Boston. Rich who I spoke to very professional and helpful. Thank you!!

Michael Cimino

We cannot thank Best Chimney enough for going above and beyond as we grappled with a serious issue in our new home. We found ourselves with big problem that only an expert and reliable company could handle. Best Chimney was simply terrific! Not only was their response timely and carefully considered, the entire team was so kind and considerate as we weighed options and went thru the repairs. Best Chimney is a dependable, professional company with the experience to do the job correctly. We remain grateful.KTS Boston MA

Karen Taylor Soiles

Boston's Best Chimney rebuilt a chimney and installed a liner on my triple decker and they were excellent. They were extremely reasonably priced compared to roofers and other dedicated chimney professionals. Both the office personnel and the ground crew were communicative, punctual, and courteous. Shawn and Mike answered all of my questions throughout the build and respected the property and our neighbors. The end result is high quality and I would definitely recommend.
