Best Chimney Services

Best Chimney Services, which does business as Boston's Best Chimney, describes itself as a family-owned chimney sweeping, repair, masonry and installation company based in Norwood, MA, serving the Boston area since 1989. The company says Peter and Maryellen Dickie founded it with a single service vehicle and that their children, Matthew Enegess and Lindsey Couture, now run it. It holds a 4.8-star Google rating from 195 ratings. A recent customer whose old furnace sent thick black smoke out of the chimney said Lindsey responded immediately, and Kevin and his guys came right on time and had the job done within a few hours. A customer who booked a level 2 inspection said Kevin was early to the appointment and sent the quote and a detailed report that same night. A customer who had the masonry on their chimney fixed and a new cap put on the crown said it looks new again. A 2026 customer said the company installed a chimney liner in an old, cracked flue plus a chimney cap, and that its CSIA listing mattered in choosing it. A 2024 customer said the company set up scaffolding and rebuilt a leaning hundred-year-old chimney, installed a liner and new vent piping to meet code, and handled everything from permit to inspection. A Reddit commenter on r/boston said the company rebuilt their chimney in Revere about 5 or 6 years ago at a price they remember as reasonable. A 2026 customer said there were two rescheduled appointments and the next date offered was 5 weeks out. A 2025 customer said the company came out, said it was not licensed to fix their type of chimney, and still charged $175. A 2023 customer said Matt Enegess and his crew never fixed a chimney leak and caused more problems. A 2022 customer said they gave up after five months without getting a complete quote.
