Ashes Away Chimney Sweep is a Middlebury chimney company with a 5-star Google average from 101 ratings and an A+ grade from the BBB. A recent customer, whose review names Tony as owner and chimney sweep, said he took money off the original estimate because some chimney cap work did not have to be done. One recent customer had one chimney rebuilt and another repaired, and said the cost was lower than other quotes. A recent customer was happy with the repairs to their chimney and praised the communication from the beginning. A 2026 customer said Tony recently installed a wood-burning stove, recapped the chimneys and lined the chimney for the stove. A 2025 customer wanted a simple cleaning that turned into a bigger job needing several visits; that 2025 customer said that when a little problem came up afterward, Tony came over that evening and took care of it. A 2024 customer said Tony rebuilt their chimney down to the flashing and sent the photos and information the town needed for its inspection. In a 2023 review, a customer said a clogged chimney cap could not be cleared on the first visit, so they did not charge for the cleaning. That 2023 customer said they later came back, cleaned out the cap and re-cleaned the chimney at no extra charge. A 2022 customer who asked for a quote on rebuilding the whole chimney said Tony told them it could be saved with a crown and cap. In a 2022 r/Connecticut comment, a Reddit user said Ashes Away in Middlebury did a chimney cleaning and repairs to the top of their chimney and took care of the permits. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0661309, as active, held by Ashes Away Chimney Sweep LLC. **Strengths:** - A 75-foot chimney — a 2024 customer said Tony arranged a bucket truck for the cap - A reduced estimate — a recent customer said Tony took money off unneeded cap work - A free re-clean — a 2023 customer said a return visit cost no extra - Town inspection paperwork — a 2024 customer said Tony sent photos to the town ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 5-star Google average from 101 ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Ashes%20Away%20Chimney%20Sweep%20LLC&query_place_id=ChIJsYCuZBzr54kROI6MBYmJLZw) — “Google: 5★ from 101 ratings” - BBB grade of A+ _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ct/middlebury/profile/chimney-cleaning/ashes-away-chimney-sweep-llc-0111-110091506/addressId/159126) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - A Reddit commenter placed Ashes Away in Middlebury _(confidence: medium)_ - [reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Connecticut/comments/xu7jok/wood_burning_stove_fireplace_insert/iqwpd22/) — “r/Connecticut — I used Ashes Away in Middlebury, and I can’t say enough good things about them!
