Chimney Cleaning
Our comprehensive chimney cleaning service addresses all five critical components: firebox, damper, smoke chamber, flue, and smoke shelf. Using specialized tools, we remove creosote buildup and debris while performing a 21-point safety inspection. This preventative maintenance reduces fire risks and ensures proper ventilation for residential heating systems.
Air Duct Sanitization
We eliminate airborne contaminants from HVAC systems using patented extraction equipment that captures dust mites, mold spores, and allergens. Our process maintains indoor air quality while improving system efficiency through complete ductwork sanitization without creating messes in client homes.
Dryer Vent Maintenance
This service removes lint accumulation from dryer exhaust systems using specialized tools for both standard and extended duct configurations. We inspect connections for safety compliance and restore optimal airflow to reduce energy consumption while preventing fire hazards associated with clogged vents.

BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY. Something just isn't right here. Called and set up appointment 10 days out in December (when 3 other companies were booked until Feb ~ this should have been my red flag). He asked me to text him my address and name and the date and time we had agreed upon which I did immediately. He responded with a thank you and prayer hands emoji a bit later. The day he is was supposed to show up and call within 30 minutes of arrival, I heard nothing. I texted him and heard nothing so I called and he answered. I asked if he was coming and he acted a bit bewildered for a moment and then

Had an appointment for between 12-1 and was told they would call before arriving but was not told they would call 2 hours before. I did not have my phone beside me at 10 am and when i saw they called I called them back with in 20 minutes and was told very rudely that if you do not answer the phone on 2 tries from them they cancel the appointment. I tried to reschedule and was told again very rudely they were to busy and hung up on me. Needless to say I will not be recommending this company to anyone and after reading other reviews I am glad I did not use them.

RED FLAG!
Paid to have chimney inspected and cleaned, but Charles & Sons didn't even open the ash dump door to clean out the pile of ashes. When I called to report the "oversight", I was told they would return in two days to complete, still waiting.
Sent several text and left message and no response.
VERY UNPROFESSIONAL and FULL SERVICE NOT RENDERED!!
