Report
I hired Metro Chimney to do a sweep and inspect- the contractor was incredibly friendly, courteous, and on time. The price we paid was significantly lower than most other larger chimney sweeps in Portland, and he didn't attempt to upsell- in fact, he specifically told us to be wary of some tactics used by other companies to bait-and-switch services and upcharge homeowners.
Finally, after the sweep was done he took the time (10-15 minutes) to walk us through proper maintenance and care of our fireplace and chimney. The last time I used a sweep they just swept and left- not an issue by any means

I've called all places in PDX to be given the run around with showing up, estimates, and bs unnecessary stuff. I called this company, the guy picks up the first time, tells me straight up he is really busy due to a family death, but asks me to send him pictures of what I need to point me in the right direction. I send the pictures and in 2 minutes he calls me back and tells me that it is an easy fix and tells me how to do it with detail instructions. WOW! I've never encountered this kind of service in any field. Great way to run a business!!!

Metro Chimney is great, I could not recommend them more. My fianc and I just bought our first home, and know nothing about chimneys. Clayton was professional and answered all the questions I had. He was extremely knowledgeable. He will be our guy going forward for anything involving the Chimney.

Metro Chimney came out to inspect and clean my chimney. Clayton was both professional and knowledgeable. After the clean, I was having some issues with smoke in the house so Clayton came out on his day off to troubleshoot my issues. Turns out the issues were of my own doing. We started a fire together and I learned the do's and don'ts of starting a fire that keeps the smoke in the firebox(not into the house) and up the flu once it's properly heated up. No smoke at all, and he even helped me with a quick fix to a nagging problem I've had all along, smoke in the downstairs whenever there's a fire
