The Original Chimney Sweep Inc.

The Original Chimney Sweep Inc. works from 14 High Street in Plainville and covers the Attleboro, Rehoboth, Mansfield, Medfield and North Attleboro area. Massachusetts lists its Home Improvement Contractor registration, 178355, as active under the company's own name, and the Better Business Bureau grades it A+. Google publishes 4.8 from 309 ratings. This is a long-tenured, family-run outfit and customers say so constantly. A June 2026 reviewer remembered Joe, the owner and master sweep, coming to the house himself with his wife handling the calls. Another that month said they had used the company for over two decades. A May 2026 customer said no other chimney company had been to their property in the thirty years since they moved in, and that their mother had used the same firm before that. A January 2026 wood-stove owner said they had seen the trucks around for decades before calling. The work range is wider than a sweep. In May 2026 the crew rebuilt one chimney and capped two others on a 200-year-old house, coordinating with the local historic preservation commission for compliance. In February 2026 a technician named Eric replaced a 29-year-old liner on a job that was not straightforward. Customers also report pellet-stove servicing and repair, wood stove and insert installation with permits and inspection handled, dryer-vent cleaning, chimney repointing, and — new in 2026 — attic solar fan installation the company is newly certified for. Two recent accounts concern billing rather than workmanship. In June 2026 a one-star reviewer said they were quoted $289 for a cleaning, were told on arrival that the chimney could not be swept until a liner was installed, and were then charged anyway. A March 2026 one-star reviewer, a lifelong customer, described a disappointing visit at a newly bought two-fireplace house. In April 2026 a four-star customer said a pellet stove that would not ignite got a cleaning it did not need, that the technician had no replacement igniter so a second visit was required, and that the igniter price differed from the quote — though in their favour. A solid choice for annual sweeps, liner replacement, repointing and stove work in the Plainville and Attleboro area, with an unusually deep local track record. Confirm in writing what happens to the price if the technician decides the chimney cannot be swept on the day.
