Chimney sweeps and repair experts, like any company working at the home, should carry both liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Chimney cleaning is a highly seasonal business, and winter is the busiest time of the year. Because scheduling an appointment with a reputable chimney sweep is difficult in winter, homeowners should have their chimney cleaned in the off season.
While some companies focus on chimney repair and do not clean chimneys, other companies clean and repair chimneys. The Home Reports research has identified a few good chimney cleaning and repair companies.
