- Very short history — three Google ratings and two written reviews, both 2026
Two customers have written about MHL so far, both in 2026, and both describe the same shape of call: something wrong at the fireplace, and a visit that ended with the chimney working again. In June 2026 a homeowner called after smoke started backing up into the living room — the visit covered a full inspection, clearing out a heavy creosote buildup, and the repair itself. A May 2026 reviewer described an inspection that pinpointed the problem quickly, and work they called reasonably priced and carefully finished. The company operates from Inner Belt Road in Somerville, and its name states its trade: chimney cleaning, inspection and repair. What to weigh is how short the history is. Three Google ratings and two written accounts, all from this year — enough to picture what a visit looks like, not enough to know how the company handles a difficult repair or a job that goes sideways. For a routine sweep, an inspection, or a smoky-fireplace problem around Somerville, this is a reasonable call. Ask for the inspection findings in writing and a firm price before any repair work starts.
