Son's Chimney Service and Stove Shop is a family-owned chimney sweep and hearth-appliance business based in Milford, NH, that by its own account has been serving the area for 30 years. The company handles chimney cleaning, inspections, liners, caps and masonry repairs, plus sales and installation of wood, gas, pellet and electric stoves and fireplaces, across a wide stretch of southern New Hampshire and north-central Massachusetts.
The record behind that is large and consistently strong: 250 Google ratings average 4.7 stars, and the reviews here span 2021 through 2026, with 38 in just the last six months and none of them negative. Homeowners repeatedly describe the same experience regardless of which technician shows up — Aaron, Chris, Matt, Nolan and Jesse are all named individually — walking through what they found, showing before-and-after photos, and explaining the reasoning behind a recommendation rather than just delivering one. Several reviewers describe using the company for six, twenty-five, or simply "many" years running.
The jobs described go beyond a basic sweep: reviewers describe chimney liner and cap replacement, flashing repairs after squirrel damage, level-2 camera flue inspections, and wood, gas and pellet stove installs and tune-ups. In a 2025 review, a technician diagnosed a gas fireplace insert problem traced back to a previous installer's mistake and worked with the manufacturer to get a replacement part covered. Crews are also described cleaning up thoroughly after cleanings and repairs, leaving little to no mess behind.
Not every review is glowing. In a 2024 review, one customer said a call for a "free quote" turned into a $300 charge just to look at the chimney; in a 2023 review, another called the crew inexperienced and the parts used cheap. A 2026 review that otherwise praised the work noted the technician didn't fully remove black staining from the chimney exterior.
For homeowners in the Milford, NH area with a wood stove, gas fireplace, pellet insert or a chimney due for its annual inspection, the weight of the record points to a company that explains its work and follows through — worth getting a clear, written estimate up front given the occasional complaint about surprise fees.
