How Manchester Chimney Cleaning Was Born in Manchester
Manchester Chimney Cleaning exists because too many homeowners in this city get talked into work they can’t see and don’t understand. We started in 2012 with a simple belief: if you sweep a chimney, you owe the customer proof of what you found, a flat price agreed before anything starts, and the honesty to say when the answer is “your chimney is fine, leave it alone.” That’s the whole idea behind the company.
Manchester is a city of older homes, and older homes hold onto surprises. A flue that ran a wood stove for years, a liner that was patched instead of replaced, a chimney cap that’s been letting water in slowly since who knows when. We didn’t want to be the company that turns those things into a sales pitch. We wanted to be the one that puts a camera down the flue, shows you the photo on your own kitchen table, and tells you plainly what can wait and what can’t. 14 years later, that’s still the promise.
Our Founder’s Personal Connection to the Chimney Cleaning Trade
Chimney work is not glamorous. It’s dirty, it’s careful, and it’s mostly invisible to the person paying for it. That’s exactly why it matters how the person doing it thinks. To us, a good chimney job is one where the homeowner could have watched the whole thing, understood every step, and still felt good about the price. Nothing hidden. Nothing rushed. No “we found a problem” without a picture to back it up.
Here’s what we check twice, every time. The cap and crown, because water is the slow killer of brick and mortar, and a cracked crown stays quiet until it doesn’t. The smoke chamber, because it’s the spot people skip and the spot that hides a rough ledge where creosote collects. And the flue, photographed the whole way down, so the homeowner is looking at evidence instead of listening to a hunch. Those photos are the whole job. Without them, a sweep is just a guess dressed up as expertise.
Where we won’t cut corners: liners and masonry. If a flue has failed and the honest repair is a liner, we say so, show the photo that proves it, and quote the work with the parts named. We work with DuraFlex and HeatShield liners because a homeowner deserves to know what’s going in the flue, not just that “someone handled it.” And we’ll tell you just as fast when the answer is a sweep and nothing more. Those 14 years have taught us that a chimney doesn’t need us very often, but when it does, it deserves someone who’ll actually look.
Meet Our Team – The Person Behind Every Job
The owner and founder built this company around one idea: back every job with evidence, not a hard sell. Every pro working under the Manchester Chimney Cleaning name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires, and every sweep gets a camera inspection with a photo report the homeowner keeps. That report is how we stay accountable. It’s also how you check our work. If a photo doesn’t show the problem, we don’t recommend the repair. If a repair can safely wait until the next burning season, we tell you that, too.
Our personal commitment to you is plain: we’ll treat your chimney like the thing that keeps your family breathing safely, because it is. Call (888) 804-9712. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch, 7am-7pm.
Our Promise to Manchester Homeowners
Honest scope. Nothing gets recommended without a camera image you can see for yourself. If it’s not on camera, it’s not on the estimate.
Clear pricing. The flat sweep price is agreed before we book. Any repair work is quoted in writing per job, and the written estimate sets the final price. The estimate itself is free.
Parts you can name. When a liner is the honest answer, you’ll know what’s going in your flue. We work with DuraFlex, HeatShield and Olympia Chimney components.
Work that gets finished. A sweep, a cap, a crown repair or a liner job isn’t done until it’s done right and you’ve seen the report.
Call (888) 804-9712. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch, 7am-7pm, Sunday through Friday, and we’re closed Saturday.
Our Credentials
- State-licensed – Manchester Chimney Cleaning operates within the licensing requirements New Hampshire sets for this trade.
- Insured & bonded – the coverage a homeowner should expect before anyone goes up on their roof or down their flue.
- Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires.
- 14 years in business – the company has been serving Manchester and the surrounding towns since 2012.
- Strong local reputation – built the slow way, one camera report and one completed job at a time.
- Flat price agreed before booking – a free written estimate on the work, and the estimate sets the final price.
- Camera inspection and photo report included with every sweep, so you keep a record of your own chimney.
Here’s why each of these matters to a homeowner hiring someone to work in their home. Licensing and insurance aren’t paperwork; they’re what protect you if something goes wrong on your property. And a flat price agreed before booking means nobody is negotiating on your roofline. The camera report is the one credential the homeowner can actually verify – it’s your chimney, photographed, in your hands.
Rooted in Manchester
Manchester is home. The city’s older housing stock and its long, cold winters mean chimneys here work hard and get checked too rarely. We work across the city and into the surrounding towns – Pinardville, Hooksett, Goffstown, Suncook, Raymond, Epping, Concord, Henniker and East Merrimack – but Manchester is where we started in 2012 and where we hope to stay. When a homeowner calls us, they’re calling a neighbor who knows what a Manchester winter does to a chimney crown. That’s the whole pitch.
