Ultimate Chimney Sweep

Ultimate Chimney Sweep is a Bellingham-based chimney company that Reddit commenters describe as "out of Attleboro, Ma", working across southeastern Massachusetts and into Rhode Island. Its Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration, number 124978, is verified active with the state registry under the company's own name, and it has been a BBB Accredited Business since March 2003 with an A+ grade. The scope is the full chimney trade rather than sweeping alone: inspections and cleaning, liners and relining, caps and custom caps, dampers, crown repair, chimney rebuilds, chase covers, clean-out and ash-dump doors, pressure washing and animal removal. The review record is the deepest thing here — 231 reviews across nine sources going back to 2012, with Google publishing 4.9 stars from 1,640 ratings and 53 reviews landing in the last six months alone. What customers describe over and over is process discipline: arrival windows honoured, texts before arrival, floor coverings run from the door to the stove, and photographs of the flue taken during the work and emailed afterwards. Technicians are named repeatedly across years — Adam, Mark, Chris, Mike, Jim, Eric, Evan, Igor. Several recent accounts describe the company talking a customer OUT of work. In April 2026 a homeowner wrote that the crew went up on the roof, pulled the cap to run a camera and reported the relining could not be done at all, unlike a previous company that bid the job without going up. A March 2026 reviewer said the technician found the chimney cleaner than expected and offered inspection only. A June 2026 customer wrote that they "Didn't try and tack on unnecessary work." The negatives are worth weighing. A December 2025 one-star reviewer named owner Tom Mulry and alleged that 2019 work damaged their chimney liner, bent roof air vents causing leaks and removed fire bricks from a wood insert. A January 2026 reviewer criticised ladder safety, reporting no spotter at the base. A June 2026 reviewer could not book online and found the voicemail box unset. There is also litigation on the public record: an insurer's suit, Vermont Mutual Insurance Company et al v. Ultimate Chimney Sweep, Inc., in Rhode Island District Court, and an older Massachusetts workers' compensation appeal over a 1996 ladder fall. For routine sweeping, inspection, relining or cap work in the Attleboro–Bellingham area this is a well-documented, licensed and long-accredited choice.
