Great guys! We have used them twice in the last few months. They cleaned out 3 of our chimneys when we moved into our new home and recently cleaned out our dryer vent. Easy to schedule, show up on time and great quality work. Highly recommend and will use again!

So called Diablo Chimney in July to clean out my fireplace, when they came over the tech started cleaning out my chimney and said it must have been years since a good cleaning, like a clogged artery the tech cleaning out my chimney and was shocked at how much soot was cleaned out. When the tech left, my place was cleaner and my fireplace is ready to use come December

Robert from Diablo Chimney Sweeps does a fantastic job. Not only did he clean our chimney but he was able to muscle open our 60 year old damper that had been stuck half way closed since before we lived here (15 years). He had great advice on maintenance and on reducing the smoke that comes out of the fireplace into our room. He really knew his stuff. I would use him again in a second.

I had *numerous* companies and contractors give me estimates. It was the most stressful thing I had experienced in a long time. (Lucky, I know, lol) Seriously though I had spent a lot of money on the fireplace mantel and surround and the gas insert and I wanted someone who knew what they were doing. Then came Robert, owner of Diablo Chimney. He started measuring and taping the wall so I could visualize where I wanted it, how, high, etc. I immediately realized he was meticulous in the way he worked. If there were 100 stars, he would truly deserve it. Not only meticulous with his work but with

Diablo Chimney was great for me. I had a couple different quotes for bringing my wood burning fireplace back to usable shape. They replaced all my old clay chimney pipe with brand new, air cooled double lined pipe, replaced the anchor plate, rebuilt my chase, installed new storm cap/collar and new spark arrester. They hand parged the masonry beyond the flue and repaired the mortar in the fireplace.
Diablo Chimney's quote was $1000 less than the other quote and the workmanship is excellent. I couldn't be happier and I highly recommend Diablo Chimney Sweeps. Robert really knows his stuff
