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).
