Verified record
Dave's Chimney Service is a Methuen, Massachusetts chimney company with 156 Google reviews averaging 4.7 stars and 351 more on Angi and HomeAdvisor at the same 4.7, a BBB A+ grade with accreditation since 2013, and a Massachusetts HIC registration (#181598) verified active in the state registry under the company's name. The company says it handles sweeps, inspections, masonry and flashing repair, relining, caps, dampers, stove installation, animal removal and full restorations across Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire, and its website lists a CSIA Certified Chimney Specialist credential. What customers describe most is the inspection-to-repair path: technicians named Kyle and Josh photograph the flue, walk the homeowner through what the images show, and a crew led by foreman Diego does the masonry and relining. Seventeen reviews in the last six months, none negative, praise crews that call ahead, show up when promised, and leave the site clean. Recent jobs include a stove pipe replaced with a screened cap, a chimney crown rebuilt, a stainless liner installed after an inspection turned up red flags left by another company, and exterior brick and flashing repair after a hard winter. In a November 2025 review, a homeowner said Dave helped push a balking insurer to cover repairs after a chimney fire; a January 2026 customer had a new liner, masonry repairs and three added brick rows capped in one project. The complaints are about sales pressure and scheduling. A September 2022 one-star reviewer said a sweep request came with a required $475 camera inspection and compared the approach to car salesmen; a 2020 Angi reviewer was quoted $7,800 for clay-liner and flashing repairs that the fireplace-insert installer later called unnecessary; a December 2022 customer waited six weeks, was cancelled on the day, and offered a date a week or more out. Even a five-star reviewer in June 2026 said Dave could ease up on the upsell during estimates. This is a strong call for a full inspection, a liner replacement, or masonry restoration where you want photos and a detailed invoice. Ask up front whether a camera inspection is required with a sweep and what it costs, and get a second quote on any large repair before signing.
“Dave's chimney service out of Methuen.”
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.
