Northeast Chimney Sweeps is a Woburn chimney company — sweeping, inspections, caps, liners, small masonry repairs and waterproofing — that says it has been family-owned since 1978. One July 2026 Google reviewer said the company has cleaned their chimney for 25 years; another had a liner system installed with a new chimney cap and smoke pipe, and appreciated the photos of their crumbling flue beforehand. Google shows 4.9 stars from 95 ratings. On Reddit, a July 2026 r/ArlingtonMA commenter called the company excellent for minor repairs and caps. Communication is the complaint that comes up. A September 2025 r/medfordma commenter said the work was pretty good but communication was a bit lacking, though two others in that thread disagreed. In July 2023, a Google reviewer said they waited more than 90 days for a follow-up or quote after a visit, and a December 2022 reviewer faulted communication and payment options.
“Northeast Chimney sweeps are excellent and can do minor repairs and the cap. They might also be able to give you a better idea of the work needed. If it's major structural stuff just find a good mason.”
“Third Northeast. I've had work done by them and it was excellent. Don't remember poor communication, but it's been a couple years.”
“Second northeast, but I’ve always had easy communication.”
“Northeast chimneysweeps does pretty good work. The communication is a bit lacking though”
I can’t say enough about Northeast Chimney Sweeps. During a routine gas meter change, national grid identified persistent slippage coming from my gas water heater (carbon monoxide coming back into the house) and had to shut off the water heater for safety purposes, especially with my wife and our 8 month old daughter living in the house. We identified that we needed a chimney liner to help gas flow out through the chimney. I called several chimney companies but all were at least 2 weeks before they could start. When I spoke with Joe, he was also booked out for weeks but sensed I was in a tough spot without any hot water for my family. He was able to move around his busy schedule to fit me in within a couple of days. Not only that, him and his son Ben went above and beyond to ensure we had a safely operating water heater in addition to installing the chimney liner. The Northeast Chimney Sweeps team are great people and I would recommend them to anyone!
Finally, a reputable chimney company. After encountering one questionable recommendation after another, we highly recommend Northeast Chimney Sweep. They were professional, clean, courteous, realistic about the services actually needed, and never tried to oversell the work. Because of our previous experiences with chimney and fireplace companies, we obtained three separate opinions. One company recommended an $1,800 chemical treatment and whip cleaning, while another claimed nothing could be done without installing a new liner. Northeast Chimney Sweep provided a straightforward, honest assessment without scare tactics or unnecessary upgrades. We first used them for our own home and will now be using them exclusively for the client properties we manage. Do not hesitate to work with them.
Installed a liner system and replace chimney cap and smoke pipe. Well done and very professional. Appreciate the pictures of our flue prior with crumbling sections.
Northeast Chimney has cleaned my chimney for 25 years. They are prompt, thorough, cheerful and a pleasure to deal with.
Lydia was amazing, just another amazing experience from Northeast Chimney sweeps over the years!
