Chimney Savers LLC

Chimney Savers is a Merrimac chimney company the family behind it says it founded in 1997 — Jeffrey Wright, described on the company's site as a Historic Restoration Specialist. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and the company says its crew includes CSIA-certified chimney technicians and a licensed construction supervisor on the masonry side. Public building permits pulled under the company's name back that history up: BuildZoom shows six permitted jobs from 2016 to 2024 — chimney repairs, stainless steel liner installs, and wood-stove insert installations — spread across Merrimac, West Newbury, Beverly, and Middleton, ranging $2,500 to $20,000. Neither Google, BuildZoom, nor the Better Business Bureau (which rates the company A+ but has not accredited it) carries a written customer review. The one outside account is a 2025 Nextdoor post in Newbury naming "Jimmy at Chimney Savers" with a one-line "he's great" — brief, but an organic recommendation rather than a self-report. The written record here is thin: permit filings and a license check, not a run of customer reviews, so there isn't much to independently verify about day-to-day service beyond what the company and its permits show. This fits chimney sweeping, liner replacement, or a wood-stove insert with a licensed contractor behind the paperwork; ask for a couple of recent customer references, since the written record is thin.
