## The honest read

Washington Chimney Sweep describes itself on its website as a family team doing chimney cleaning and repair for fireplace, wood stove, pellet stove and furnace flues. On Google it shows 5 stars from 188 ratings.

A recent Google reviewer wrote that, as first-time homeowners, they were walked through what they needed, helped to pick a wood stove insert, and then had the unit and chimney liners installed. A recent customer said an oil company had flagged a problem with one of the ducts; Scott checked everything, found no problem and did not charge. A recent reviewer praised the installation of a new liner and an end-of-season cleaning. A recent customer wrote that Washington has cleaned their chimneys for five years and also repaired a piece of loose exterior slate. A recent customer said they got multiple reminder texts before the visit and the company arrived right on time.

A 2025 customer who had just bought a house said Scott inspected the chimney, told them it did not need cleaning and showed them how to use the fireplace. A 2025 reviewer with a fireplace insert said all of the cleaning was done from inside the home, with no climb onto the roof. A 2024 reviewer wrote that Scott, Jason and Jane worked with them to install a woodstove and liner in an off-the-grid cabin. A 2023 customer said the chimney would smoke in the house until the company diagnosed the problem, fixed a couple of bricks and replaced the cap. In a 2022 Reddit comment in r/Connecticut, a customer said they were charged "150 per chimney" and called the work quick and clean.

Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0648607, as active, held by Washington Chimney Sweep LLC.

**Strengths:**
- Wood stove insert — a recent customer described selection help and installation
- No-charge visit — a recent customer said Scott found no problem and charged nothing
- Liner installation — a recent review praised a new liner install
- Reminder texts — a recent customer got multiple texts before the visit
