A-Tec Chimney Sweep

A-Tec Chimney Sweep is a Bellingham chimney company that says it specializes in cleaning, liners, repairs, rebuilds and restoration across Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#166376, held by Jonathan Kopec) is active, as is a construction supervisor licence (CSSL-102689) held by David R. Kopec. Google shows 4.4 stars from 43 ratings and Angi 4.8 from 266. Customers most often describe sweeps and chimney repairs done on time without an upsell. In a September 2021 review, a homeowner said another company pushed a new liner, while A-Tec came the next day and said only a cleaning was needed. In a November 2024 Angi review, a customer said a cheaper company tried to upsell, and A-Tec did exactly what was asked. A May 2024 reviewer described masonry, flashing and a new liner, and when the crew found bats between the flashing and chimney, James came back a third day after the bats left. An October 2022 reviewer said a crew was out within 3 hours to fix a crown seal A-Tec had done about a year earlier. The complaints run from 2021 to 2024. A January 2024 reviewer said a promised quote never arrived. In an October 2023 review, a customer said the chimney was cleaned from the bottom only and no one would answer the phone afterward. An April 2023 Angi reviewer said a chimney build was done improperly and led to ceiling and wall water damage. A 2022 reviewer called a $229 furnace flue cleaning not worth the money, and a December 2021 reviewer said repointing left mortar dust and runoff on the front steps. Safetyrecord.org reports one OSHA inspection since July 9, 2025, with 4 violations and $3,972 in penalties.
