Bob's Chimney Boston

Bob's Chimney Boston operates from Centre Street in Jamaica Plain and handles chimney sweeping, inspections, repairs, rebuilding and fireplace work. Its Boston Google listing has been active in a short but busy period, with technicians such as Shawn, David, Jacob, Mike and Ben repeatedly named by customers. Customers consistently praise punctual arrivals, clear explanations, photographs, clean work areas and practical inspection reports. Reviews describe a bird nest safely removed and a heavy-duty cap installed, careful sweeping around a white rug, insurance-renewal paperwork delivered before the technician left, and a chimney repair that replaced sections damaged by a fallen branch. The written history is concentrated from late 2025 through 2026, with 172 reviews across three sources and 29 in the last six months. Pricing and advertising deserve careful attention. One January 2026 reviewer reported paying more than $2,000 for a sweep and being left with a messy basement; a March 2026 reviewer said a Cityline Chimney advertisement promising prices from $100 led to an $800 boiler-chimney cleaning by Bob's Chimney. Another review warned that a liner was highly overpriced. The BBB lists a C- grade and one complaint, while its directory carries Massachusetts licence claim 219314 expiring April 14, 2028. This may suit homeowners who want a documented inspection, sweep or repair, especially where prompt scheduling and photo-based explanations matter. Before larger work, confirm the invoicing company, request an itemized written quote, and verify the licence claim and scope of any liner, crown or repair work. Massachusetts lists its home improvement contractor registration, 219314, as active, held by Bobs Chimney Boston LLC.
