I contacted this company late last fall 2001 after I noticed a leak in my basement from the flue that's blocked at the top. I got up on my roof and saw some cracks in the crown that I had sealed with calk years ago and they had expanded over the years. Rick and his son came out and told me the crown needed to be redone but it needed to be done when it warmed up.

I asked if he could but some sealer in the cracks so they didn't get worse over the winter. Which they did. They came back the middle of May and repaired the crown. I also had him look at where the water was leaking from in the basement because I wanted to know if I should have him reseal the cap on the bottom of the blocked off flue. He said with the new crown there shouldn't be an issue with it.

He could have easily said I should reseal it so he could make a little more money. But he has the kind of integrity you don't find very often anymore. I would recommend him to anyone who needs anything for there fireplace.

It's been a week and no reply to service request at all. They did a cleaning for me years ago and were fine then. But bummed they seem uninterested in current business. Update: Apparently they're having difficulty with the "Contact Us" feature on their webpage (though it still appears as the preferred means of communication there). Owner reached out to see about need & another person from CCC did to offer scheduling a service.

So they've been responsive once the message eventually made it through. Ironically, in following up to those communications, I discovered the part I thought was broken and wanted them to repair was something I could fix myself.

I just had a visit from Rick. He came out to repair a broken damper. I purchased the parts in advance when another company told me I needed them or that I needed to spend $1100 on a top of chimney damper. Not only did Rick fix the existing damper using the existing parts but he told me that my flue did not need cleaning. Honest, honest, honest. Did I say honest? Highly recommend them!

Casey was arrived to our house when expected; taught us about our fireplace insert; explained what he was going to do and why. When finished, Casey completely cleaned up and emailed us an invoice for services. I highly recommend "Complete Chimney Cleaning" services to the Aurora and Denver communities.

We had Complete Chimney cleaning come out to clean an insert we've had for years. They found it had not been installed correctly which is why it was not as effective as it's supposed to be. Casey and Spencer came back a second time to fix the unit for less time and money than promised! They also taught us some tricks and tips to help it burn better. They were professional, clean, on time, efficient and are officially our "go-to" experts from now on! Super happy we found them!

Excellent and professional service. Spencer and his crew were one time, efficient, and kept us aware of potential costs. They were careful to avoid dirt and dust and took away any debris that came from the chimney. I would definitely use them again. Services: Chimney inspections, Chimney flue cleaning

Incredibly knowledgable, very reasonable prices, on time and courteous. He took the time to explain everything in detail (as well as how to use our Franklin stove). Would definitely recommend! Services: Chimney cleaning, Chimney inspections, Chimney flue cleaning

We have a 100+ year old fireplace and were told by the home inspectors that before using it we would need to talk to someone with some more specific knowledge. The entire experience of working with CCC verified how important that advice was. They had a very obvious expertise in the area. Before even coming out they knew and informed us of all of the local history and potential pitfalls over the phone. Highly recommended!

Rick and Spencer (?) came out to service our gas fireplace today, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. The whole process was very informative, and they both clearly knew what they were talking about. I was originally quoted a higher price, but after seeing what kind of fireplace it was, they lowered the price to reflect the job at hand. A very honest business, you can't go wrong with Complete Chimney Cleaning. Thank you!

This great family business has been doing our chimney cleaning for years. I have never had any trouble getting in touch with them. We set our appointment. They come when they say they will. They charge what they said they would. They are professional, clean and fast. Doesn't get much better than that.

Great guys. Did an excellent job and inspection. Even took time to explain operations since we had never used our fireplace since buying our home.

Spencer checked out and cleaned our chimney. He was extremely friendly and we felt comfortable with him in our home. He didn't make a mess and was in and out quickly. Would highly recommend him!

I called around several places and could not find anyone who would service fireplace inserts. I had an old unit that had not been looked at in some time as we just purchased the property. Spencer came out, arrived on time, and fixed a few items that needed to be updated. great professional service all around.

Showed up on time and patiently answered all of our questions. Will definitely use again. They did a great job on our house with a normal chimney and also on our rental with a wood burning stove.

Complete Chimney Cleaning was on time, professional, and very informative. We had our chimney cleaned in a new (used) home and they noticed a crack in the mortar. They fixed it and completed our cleaning all with in 45 minutes and they gave us great information on how to update the look of our old fireplace with out a lot of money. Thank you!

Had a great experience with Complete Chimney Cleaning for our woodburning fireplace in Golden. Price was lower than competitors. They scheduled us for the day before Thanksgiving with 2 days notice. The technicians showed up on time and gave me an honest assessment that my chimney did not necessarily need to be cleaned just yet - though I went ahead and had it done anyway.

They did their work efficiently and cleanly and charged what they said they would charge with no attempt to upsell. They were in and out in about 30 minutes. All in all it was a very pleasant and easy experience. Absolutely would use again and recommend to others.

I could't be more thrilled. I had a CO alarm go off last night due most likely to my furnace and in order for the heater to be serviced they requested the chimney be looked at. I needed this done right away as it snowed last night and we are without heat. Spencer came out right away for me, if he hadn't I don't think I would have heat now. He was very kind and took care of the issue right away. Thank you so much guys!

Our experience with Complete Chimney Cleaning, LLC was great. Scheduling an appointment was easy and communication with Rick was prompt. Spencer was great. He called the night before as promised. The day of service, Spencer was friendly, informative and very helpful. We thought we needed a cleaning from what our inspector suggested. Spencer did not try to up-sell us or suggest anything we did not need.

In fact his inspection noted that our chimney was in good shape and didn't need a cleaning at this time. He taught us a few things about our new home and we are very grateful. When the time comes when we actually need a cleaning, we will for sure contact CCC. Thank you Spencer!

Fast, friendly and affordable. Spencer came out within a couple of days after contacting the company. He not only cleaned the chimney of our new home, but took the time to explain the construction of the 1940 chimney and offered future maintenance recommendations. I will definitely use them again!

Once again, Yelp's Request a Quote helped me find a great home service in Denver. My chimney needed a cleaning and a cap replacement and I was able to connect with Completely Chimney over the RAQ portal. Spencer made two trips to my home: one to inspect the chimney and clean it, another to repair the crack in the cap. Spencer was timely, professional and got the job done in less than an hour. Bonus that he has capabilities to accept credit card payments through his phone. Oh, technology! Spencer also gave some good advice about converting our wood burning fireplace to gas. They do not offer that particular service, but had a referral in Denver if I wanted to pursue. Not a huge priority right now, but good for future use.

I'm a big fan of Complete Chimney Cleaning. We've worked with them twice now, and each time they do more than just clean the chimney. They look for things amiss with our chimney and flue and suggest better ways to burn and tend our chimney between cleanings. Such an important role in our family's safety, and I feel good trusting it to Complete Chimney Cleaning.

If I could give more than 5 Stars I would. Josh and his team just left our house. The service was letter perfect. They were on time, friendly, fast, thorough and pet friendly. Our house was built in 1967 and our impression of the previous owner was that they were not the most meticulous so I was so relieved that our fireplace got a clean bill of health from Josh and his crew.

There were some minor fixes adding some silicone caulk to the exterior and adding mortar to a hairline crack in the fireplace. This is something that I feel I could do on my own but the cost of having them do it was negligible. Seriously if you need anything chimney related give these guys a call

Josh and Team did a great job of restoring my two chimneys and inserts. They were in bad shape due to neglect by the previous owner. Heavy duty flexible liners were installed and connected to my inserts. Everything is now safe and ready to use. Price was a reasonable for such a big job.

I have used these guys for over 6 years now and they are just excellent. Josh is always pleasant to visit with and he always remembers my dogs' names. The work that he is does is second to none. It is efficient, clean, and he always has time to answer my questions about making my wood burning insert a better experience. I would never think of calling anyone else and you should call him for all your cleaning needs and he does installs. You won't look anywhere else once you have used Josh's services.

Excellent company! Josh and his team are top notch! Josh called the night before to confirm our appointment and they arrived right at the time Josh said he would. He looked at my chimney first and told me honestly that it really wasn't that dirty and that I could wait if I wanted to or he said he could go ahead and clean it if I wanted. I opted to go ahead and have him clean it since he was already here. I'm telling you folks, that kind of honesty and integrity is really hard to come by these days and it is a rare courtesy for sure! Cindy was probably the nicest receptionist I've ever talked to. She's not just the scheduler, she's also Josh's mom and I can tell they really care about their business. Anyway, bottom line is I highly recommend this company. I will definitely be calling them back for all my future chimney work!

They were able to get the inspection/cleaning scheduled within 7 days. I called two other companies and they were slammed into mid January. I was a bit nervous, but they let me know the night before it would be morning, rather than afternoon. Since it's a rental property on acreage out north, I needed a heads-up so I didn't sit all morning waiting.

Gentleman called 30 min in advance, showed up on time, did a great job being tidy. Could not beat the price. $140 for inspection, cleaning and cap replacement. Forget the franchises. This family operation is the ticket.

Great family owned business! Was recommended by my home inspector to clean my fireplace. Josh was very prompt and they were true to their word, they cleaned everything up. Also, cheaper than bigger businesses for parts and labor. Bottom line: I will be a repeat customer.

Great company and told us a time and was there within the timeframe specified. Josh gave us advice on burning our new woodstove that was very helpful.
