What Alexandria Homeowners Say About Level Two Chimney Alexandria
Reviews tell you what a company actually does when nobody is watching. We earn ours one flue at a time: a written price before the first tool comes off the truck, a camera scan you see with your own eyes, and a photo record handed over when we leave. Alexandria homes run the full range, from 1920s Del Ray bungalows with original terra cotta liners to 1990s builds in Cameron Station with prefab fireplaces that never got a proper look. The reviews below are from customers who dealt with real creosote, real spalling brick, and real animals who thought a chimney was a decent place to live.
Recent Reviews
“We bought a 1941 rowhouse in Rosemont and nobody had swept the chimney in at least a decade. The amount of creosote on the flue walls was Class III, and the smoke chamber was coated in what looked like tar. Corrine showed me the camera footage and explained it in terms I understood: this is what a chimney fire waiting to happen looks like. They swept it, did a Level 2 inspection, and left me with a photo record of every inch. I didn’t have to take anyone’s word for anything.”
Jason D., Rosemont
“We used our wood-burning fireplace on Wyoming Avenue for five winters thinking everything was fine. A sweep from another company gave us a scary quote for a new liner. I called Corrine for a second opinion. She did a camera scan and showed me the liner was glazed inside, not cracked. No new liner needed. She swept it and told me exactly what to watch for next year. I saved thousands because someone was actually honest.”
Rohan S., Del Ray
“There’s a 1950s cape in Beverley Hills with an odd chimney setup: flue tiles are offset, so every sweep leaves something behind. Corrine’s tech spent three hours in the heat getting into the smoke chamber and showed me the before-and-after photos. The after looked like a different chimney. They even cleaned up the brick dust from the hearth afterward. I’ve used two other sweep companies in Alexandria and neither one gave me documentation like this.”
Renee D., Beverley Hills
“We had two missing chimney caps in our Old Town townhouse, so of course a squirrel moved in. Clogged the flue, chirped all spring, smelled like a barn in the summer. Level Two chimney Alexandria came out, got it cleared, and replaced both caps with stainless ones from Gelco. They texted a photo of every step. The estimate was written, the work was scheduled, and the price didn’t move.”
Wade V., Old Town
“Honestly, the written price before any work starts matters more than I expected. We’re on King Street in a narrow rowhouse with a chimney that’s a pain to access. Every other company wanted to ‘take a look first and then we’ll talk numbers.’ Corrine put the price in writing for the sweep, the crown inspection, and a cap that needed sealing. Her tech found a spalled brick in the smoke shelf area and just fixed it. The warranty came in writing too.”
Jason D., King Street
“We used a fireplace in Seminary Hill we never should have been using. The chimney crown was cracked in a circle, and water had been getting into the masonry for who knows how long. They repointed the crown, resurfaced it with Gelco CrownCoat, and sealed it. The photo record from start to finish means I can hand it to any chimney company in Alexandria and they’ll know exactly what we did. That’s worth the price of admission.”
Rohan S., Seminary Hill
Why Customers Trust Us
Every review above shares the same thread: no one wants to be told something scary about their chimney without being able to see it. We do a camera scan on every visit and show you the footage on the spot, not in a secret report we read after you’ve guessed wrong. A written price comes before any work begins, every job, no exceptions. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the sweep or repair isn’t done right, we make it right. We’ve inspected and cleaned over 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and every one of them came with a documented photo record under Haven Standard Clause 4. Call (240) 290-6726 to book a sweep with a company that hands you the evidence instead of asking you to trust it.
