**Rating: 3.3/5** (low confidence) — from 5 reviews across 3 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.
80% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative.

## The honest read

Clean Sweep Chimney Service is a small chimney sweep working in Harwich and the mid-Cape, run by a sweep customers name as Tom, with a Tom Jr. also on jobs.

The hiring record is short but real: five Google reviews between 2021 and 2025, four of them five stars, alongside a Google average of 4.3 from six ratings. In a January 2025 review a repeat customer wrote that Tom found three separate flues in their chimney, cleaned all of them, replaced a failing damper and left no mess, at what they called a reasonable rate. An October 2025 reviewer got same-day availability for a wood-stove insert and said he also fixed loose, uneven surround work.

The dissent is specific and worth reading. In a May 2025 one-star review, a customer said Tom Jr. spent no more than 45 minutes brushing a gas insert from the inside, never went on the roof, and charged $300. That is the only negative review on file, and it is about scope and price rather than damage.

Reaching them has been a complaint too: in a May 2025 Nextdoor post a Harwich neighbour asked how to get in touch because voicemails were not being returned, though a neighbour on that thread said the crew was simply on vacation that week. A separate Harwich Port neighbour answering a chimney-repair request in November 2025 wrote simply that 'Clean sweep is the best'.

Before booking, it is worth agreeing in writing what the sweep includes — specifically whether the roof and the exterior of the flue are part of the job — and asking for a callback commitment, since both the recorded complaints are about scope and about reaching them rather than about the quality of the sweeping itself.

**Strengths:**
- Thorough flue work — a repeat customer cites three flues cleaned properly
- Same-day availability — one 2025 caller was fitted in that day
- Clean finish — reviewers say no mess was left behind
- Neighbour endorsement — a Harwich Port resident calls them the best

**Concerns:**
- Scope on gas inserts — a 2025 reviewer says the roof was never accessed
- Price for time — that same review reports $300 for 45 minutes
- Returning calls — a Harwich neighbour posted that voicemails went unanswered

**Where sources disagree:**
- Several unrelated businesses trade under the same or a near-identical name in other states (Middletown CT, Oak View CA, Dayton OH, Woodlawn TN); the Exa directory listings in this packet are generated listing text and should not be assumed to describe the Harwich business.
- The Nextdoor complaint about unreturned voicemails is answered on the same thread by a neighbour who says the crew was on vacation that week and would follow up — the record does not settle which explanation is right.
- No street address and no licence or registration record is on file for this row, so its identity rests on the Harwich Nextdoor mentions and the Google listing alone.
