## The honest read

No Choke Chimney Sweep holds 4.7 stars from 58 ratings on Google.

A 2024 customer said James from No Choke took a call late in the day and came to the home the very next day. That 2024 customer said the chimney was inspected, they were told there was nothing to worry about, and they were not charged. A 2023 customer said James came to a newly purchased house for a free estimate on converting a gas fireplace back to woodburning, and wrote that he didn't try to sell anything. A 2022 customer said James did a chimney and dryer vent cleaning and was on time and clean. A 2021 customer said he talked them through a fireplace issue on the phone, free of charge.

A 2023 customer said they paid $150 for an estimate, never received it, and got no response to emails, phone calls, voicemails and texts. A 2023 customer who hired them to clean a chimney said that the next winter they found the creosote that was brushed down left on top of the insert. A 2022 customer said they missed their appointment and never called to say why.

**Strengths:**
- A next-day visit — a 2024 customer said James came the very next day
- Dryer vent cleaning — a 2022 customer said James cleaned their chimney and dryer vent

**Concerns:**
- An unsent estimate — a 2023 customer paid $150 and never received it
- Leftover creosote — a 2023 customer found creosote left on the insert
- A missed appointment — a 2022 customer said they never called to explain
