Above & Beyond Chimney Sweep of Dedham

Above & Beyond Chimney Sweep of Dedham is the kind of shop where the reviews all mention the same guy by name — Todd shows up in nearly every one, walking homeowners through what he found in their chimney and why. On Google, the pattern holds across 31 ratings averaging 4.8: a thorough inspection, a clear explanation, work completed as discussed. The recent record backs that up. In the past few weeks, reviewers have praised Todd and the team for professional, thorough chimney work with clear communication throughout — one in early September called the inspection thorough and said Todd explained his recommendations in a way that was easy to understand; another the same week said he took time to explain the issues he found without making them feel pressured. Further back, in a 2021 review, one customer described a major chimney overhaul completed at a fair price by a crew they called honest and hard-working. The company's own site says the Above & Beyond name has operated out of Cohasset, MA since 1985, family-owned and run by Todd and his crew, with technicians it describes as OSHA trained. Worth asking about before booking: the site also claims a BBB A+ rating, but the actual BBB profile for this Dedham location tells a different story — it is not accredited, not yet rated, and shows a file opened in March 2026 with a single employee on record, a newer registration than the 1985 founding story the company tells. That does not mean the work described in the reviews is not real — the Google history is consistent and recent — but it is a discrepancy worth clearing up directly with Todd before signing anything. For a chimney inspection, sweep, or repair in the Norfolk or Plymouth County area, the review record here is solid and current. Confirm the BBB status and the company's structure for yourself rather than taking the website's claim at face value.
