Its website says it has been in business 29 years and names Portsmouth and Portland as its service area. A recent customer with an older house said the two workers explained the reasoning behind the quoted work and described steps the homeowner could take to avoid further repairs. That customer said they had not been aware of chimney flue issues that could have sent CO into their child's room. A 2026 customer who heats with a wood stove said St. Nick's called the afternoon they reached out and came over right away. That 2026 customer said the cap was glazed and enclosed with creosote, and that the team cleaned everything, with one member inside and another on the roof. A 2026 customer said the crew installed a chimney liner and cap, did extra work to fix a flue issue from the previous owner, and communicated exactly what happened. A 2026 customer who had not yet had the service done said St Nick's quoted $175 where a different company had quoted $450 for a chimney inspection. A recent customer said that, in an attempt to resolve a water leak in their basement, Saint Nick's sealed one of their two chimney flues using two bricks and sealant. That customer said a second professional inspection identified the sealed flue as a safety concern they had to have addressed. **Strengths:** - Flue issue explained — a recent customer learned of a CO risk to a child's room - Creosote blockage cleaned — a 2026 customer said the team cleaned everything - Liner and cap install — a 2026 customer said the crew also fixed a flue issue **Concerns:** - Sealed chimney flue — a second inspection called it a safety concern, a recent customer said ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 4.5 stars from 32 Google ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=St%20Nicks%20Chimney%20Services&query_place_id=ChIJUyLT2nmmskwRGfWccCUl5NY) — “Google: 4.5★ from 32 ratings” - The company's website says it has been in business 29 years and names Portsmouth and Portland as its service area _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](http://www.saintnickschimney.org) — “Self-reported 29 years in business” - [Official Website](http://www.saintnickschimney.org) — “Stated service area (self-reported): Portsmouth, Portland” - A recent customer said the workers explained chimney flue issues that could have sent CO into a child's room _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2pKVmVuZEJiRzFHY0V4SVVrRnFZek4zY0V0U1ZIYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xd6e42525709cf519!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOjJVendBbG1GcExIUkFqYzN3cEtSVHc%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Both workers present for my contracted scope of work were nothing short of paragons of professionalism.
