Mikey's Chimney is a Cambridge-based chimney sweep and dryer vent cleaning outfit that covers a wide swath of Greater Boston — its own site names Boston, Somerville, Brookline, Newton, Quincy, Watertown, Arlington, Belmont, Medford, Malden, Everett, Chelsea, Revere, and Waltham as its service area. The name centers on chimneys, but read through its recent reviews and dryer vent work shows up almost as often — bird's nests cleared from vents, a decade-old hose replaced, guards installed to keep the problem from coming back.
The record here is deep and remarkably consistent: 40 ratings on Google and 27 on Thumbtack, both sitting at a perfect 5 stars, and the specifics in the reviews back it up rather than reading like boilerplate. Customers name the crew by name — Mike, David, Armando — and describe the same pattern over and over: same-day or next-day scheduling, photos taken before and after the work, a clear explanation of what was found and what was done, and a clean site when the crew leaves. One reviewer, describing exterior chimney maintenance, said Mikey's quoted fairly while other companies tried to charge up to four times more.
The written history here runs almost entirely through 2026 and is essentially spotless — the closest thing to a complaint is a single reviewer who mentioned some leftover soot dust that needed a second cleanup pass after the job, alongside otherwise full praise for the work.
Its Thumbtack listing also names gas line repair among its offerings, alongside the chimney and fireplace cleaning and repair work that dominates the reviews.
For a chimney sweep, a fireplace repair, or a dryer vent that needs clearing, the pattern across dozens of recent reviews points to a crew that shows up when promised, explains the work, and leaves things clean — worth confirming current pricing and scheduling directly given how fast their reviews suggest they book up.
