A Cambridge homeowner had two chimney and vent companies out, paid both, and still had a dryer vent nobody could get through. White Bright's tech, Keith, pinpointed the blockage and repaired it — the sharpest story in this company's short written history. The company describes itself as a Cambridge chimney sweep and fireplace service doing cleaning, inspection, relining, waterproofing, restoration and masonry repair, and says on its own site that it has served the Cambridge area since 2008. What customers actually describe is mostly the diagnostic end of the trade. One reviewer said Elias did a careful inspection, explained it in plain terms, and helped them avoid thousands of dollars of work they didn't need. Another had Raymond arrive early, clear bird nests out of the flue of a gas fireplace, and fit a chimney cap so it would vent properly. A customer who has used them across two Cambridge homes over many years mentions routine sweeps and inspections along with masonry and fireplace repair. Google sits at 4.6 across 5 ratings. That number is also the thing to weigh: five reviews, all written in 2026, for a company that says it has been at this since 2008. None of them is negative — the visits described are punctual, explained step by step, and finished — but it is a small sample to lean on, and the 2008 start date is the company's own claim rather than anything confirmed. For a seasonal sweep, an inspection before you start burning, or a second opinion after someone quoted you a large repair, this is a reasonable call — the unhurried, no-upsell inspection is what people keep describing. Ask who is coming out, what the inspection covers, and get any repair scope and price in writing before the work starts.
After two chimney and vent cleaning companies came out, charged a lot, and said they could not get through the dryer vent, I called and finally got the right help. Keith was able to pinpoint the blockage and repair the problem quickly. He was knowledgeable, professional, and efficient, and he explained the venting issue in simple terms so I knew exactly what was wrong. The service made my home safer and gave me peace of mind knowing the dryer vent system was cleaned and working properly. I would gladly use this chimney and vent service again and would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs reliable cleaning, inspection, or repair work. It was one of the best service visits I have ever had at my home.
A family member recommended this chimney sweep company, and we have relied on them for many years at two homes in Cambridge. Harold and the crew are friendly, honest, and very dependable. They have helped us with routine chimney inspections and sweepings, masonry and fireplace repairs, and even the installation of a gas insert. More recently, we had our wood-burning fireplace with a gas starter converted to gas only. Miguel and Raymond did an excellent job walking us through the work, explaining the venting and fireplace options in simple terms, and making sure we understood everything before the job started. The pricing was fair, the workmanship was clean and professional, and the whole process felt smooth from start to finish. If you need chimney cleaning, fireplace service, or chimney repairs in Cambridge, this is a great team to call. It is smart to schedule early in the busy season since colder Massachusetts weather can fill up their calendar quickly.
Raymond arrived early for the appointment, was very friendly, and explained everything clearly. We have a gas fireplace, and he installed a chimney cap after removing bird nests from the flue area. He made sure the chimney was clean, protected, and ready to vent properly. The pricing was fair, and the whole chimney sweep service felt professional, honest, and easy to work with. It was great dealing with a knowledgeable local small business owner in Cambridge.
Thank you for the excellent chimney repair and sweep service. Miguel explained each step of the process clearly, from the inspection to the repair work, and was very patient and helpful the whole time. The team made everything easy to understand and kept me informed throughout the job. It was refreshing to work with such friendly, professional people, and I would gladly recommend your chimney services to anyone I know.
I highly recommend this chimney sweep service. Elias was very courteous, knowledgeable, and on time. He did a careful chimney inspection and explained everything in a simple, helpful way. The visit was thorough and very beneficial, and it helped me avoid spending thousands on unnecessary chimney work from another quote. It was clear he understood fireplace and venting issues well and focused on honest service. Highest star ratings.
