Affordable Chimney Solutions

Affordable Chimney Solutions is a family-owned chimney sweep and masonry company in Hudson, New Hampshire, run by Ray and his son Hunter, who the company describes as fifth-generation masons. It handles chimney cleaning, lining, and repointing, wood stove installation, and dryer vent and gutter cleaning across a wide swath of southern New Hampshire towns. Recent visits read cleanly: reviewers from late 2025 into mid-2026 describe prompt scheduling, fair prices, and — in one case — a backdraft problem fixed with a new chimney lining at a price under competing quotes. One 2026 reviewer contrasted the experience with a separate fireplace-repair company that had quoted $25,000 through what they described as invented problems. Earlier reviews echo the same theme of honesty over upselling: a 2021 customer said the technician told them their chimney didn't actually need cleaning yet and explained how to maintain it themselves. That said, the record between 2022 and 2024 includes real trouble spots. A longtime, three-year customer said calls and texts routinely took three to four weeks to get answered — a problem when they needed a time-sensitive inspection. Two other reviewers described appointments where nobody showed up or called, with follow-up voicemails left unanswered. One reviewer from early 2024 also described a tense, unprofessional interaction with the owner. None of that shows up in the most recent reviews, so it may reflect a rough stretch rather than how the business runs today — but it's worth confirming scheduling and response times directly before booking, especially for anything time-sensitive.
