Recent customers describe jobs that go beyond a routine sweep. In July 2026, a long-time customer said Kyle found safety problems in a stove pipe, then the crew replaced interior and exterior pipe sections, extended the run and fitted a screened cap. Dave’s Chimney Service works from Methuen; its website says it serves Methuen, Lawrence, Andover and Beverly. The company handles sweeping, inspection, relining, repairs, caps, dampers, flashing and full restorations. In a January 2026 review, a homeowner described liner replacement, masonry repairs and a chimney extension; more recent customers describe a rebuilt crown and inspection walkthroughs with photos. Several praise the crew for arriving when promised, explaining options and leaving a clean work area. Massachusetts lists active home improvement contractor registration 181598 to Dave’s Chimney Service, LLC; BBB gives the business an A+ grade and says it has been accredited since April 2013. There is a specific estimate question worth raising before work begins. A June 2026 reviewer said Dave could ease up on upselling during estimates; a September 2022 reviewer objected to an added $475 camera inspection while calling for a sweep. One December 2022 customer reported waiting six weeks for an appointment that was canceled on the day, then being asked to wait more than a week to reschedule. An April 2019 HomeAdvisor review said a $1,575 chimney-repair attempt left the chimney crumbling; that is a dated account, not a description of current work. For a sweep, inspection, liner or masonry project, ask for an itemized scope, whether camera inspection is needed, and the price before authorizing add-ons. Since another customer also objected to estimate upselling in 2022, compare the proposed repairs with a second chimney specialist if the scope grows beyond cleaning. Confirm the timeline and warranty terms before booking.
Dave and his team did a great job. The communication was excellent and the work was top quality. Dave knows his stuff and was very informative.
Loved the fact they showed up when they said they would from the quote to the finished job. Had all the insurance documents and the crew put safety first. You might be able to find someone to do the job cheaper, but you get what you pay for.
Long time customer: During the last sweep of my stove pipe Kyle discovered safety issues requiring replacement. Diego and crew replaced the inside and outside pipes, extended up a few feet, and put on the screened cap. Work was completed quickly and thoroughly. Will continue to use Dave's for my chimney needs!
Very professional and great communications. Detailed estimate and detailed invoice. Friendly workers.
They showed up when they promised. They did a great job. A 6 star service, but google will only let me give them 5 stars.
