Their work is absolutely outstanding. Runners were put down from the front door to the fireplace. Rick and his son took their time and left the place immaculate. I was briefed afterwards and without a doubt will be calling for this great service again.

I have been using this company for years cleaning my woodstove and my pipes. They are very reliable and I feel safe and secure to use my woodstove. The soot Doctor is extremely friendly and Takes the time to explain what needs to be done, and I found them to be very honest and his prices are not bad at all.

We've been using Soot Doctor for years and cannot say enough good things about the service they provide. They are always on time, meticulous not only with their work but also about keeping the area in which they're working clean -- and everything they do from cleaning dryer vents to chimney soot is handled in a professional, efficient manner. I can't imagine using anyone else!

Excellent service! Richard came out on a Saturday to clean our clogged dryer vent. He was very thorough and cleaned from the inside out and outside in. Dryer vent services we used in the past only cleaned the outside vent. He was professional and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

Soot Doctor recently installed a flue liner for our oil furnace. We've lived in this house for almost 44 years. Out of all the various contractors, installers, etc. we've hired during that time, I can honestly state that Soot Doctor has been the most professional, cleanest, neatest, and helpful out of all of them. For the kind of services they offer, I would never use any other company.

Very thorough and detailed inspection and explanation of work being done. We’ve had our chimney serviced twice in our house since we moved in 7 years ago, along with our house being 35+ years old ,Soot Doctor ,during inspection removed the flu and found a huge chunk of mortar from when the chimney/ house was BUILT! This was causing slower exhaust of smoke. I will never call anyone else to service my fireplace and chimney

Ed Strom

This was a great experience. The house was left super cleanwith no soot. I felt like I could ask any questions and the answers were fast and reliable. They steered me in the right direction for some simple upgrades to help my whole system out. Thanks for the great work guys.

Soot Doctor was very thorough and professional. From the moment he arrived, you could tell he was focused on keeping your home clean while doing the cleaning. I think the cleaning and inspection were very thorough. I learned that a crack in my chimney made using my fireplace dangerous. Pictures taken of of the condition were sent to my email and were very appreciated. A job well done!

This review is late. I originally called Rick summer of '22 for an estimate on a chimney install but ended up getting everything through him. Woodstove, chimney, and prefab hearth panel. He shows up on time, calls ahead, and meticulous. The job isn't done until its right, there was no "close enough". Rolled out drop cloth even when he showed up just for an estimate, very respectful and professional. I had a lot of questions as this was our first stove and he answered every one completely and never made me feel like I was holding him up. No complaints whatsoever and highly recommend.

Jim Fairley

00:18 18 Mar 23

Rich was on time, took great care to keep my flooring and surrounding areas clean, and was very thorough in his cleaning and inspection. My fireplace sparkled after he finished cleaning it! He also inspected the fireplace in and outside to ensure that it was working properly and efficiently.

Soot Dr showed up ontime, did a great job, and cleaned up nice. Our fireplace worked better after the cleaning, and he gave us chimney assessment from the roof.

Matthew Goodman

00:47 01 Mar 23

It's rare I take the time to leave reviews but I'm going to for Rick at Soot Doctor. He answered when I called and scheduled my appointment. The day of the appointment he called ahead of time to see if it was okay if he came early. He laid blankets down to keep the area clean and was respectful entering and leaving the house. His work was top notch and he put my stove pipe back perfect. He reviewed the condition of my chimney with me and gave me a few suggestions on my current setup. His price was competitive and well worth it. In a time where most contractors don't return calls or even show up it's nice knowing there are still some professionals like Soot Doctor.

Ron Radil

12:34 30 Dec 22

Owner, Rick, super nice and clean. Laid out a throw rug to walk on around fire place inside. Took photos at top of chimney so I could see the inspection and even pointed something out to me that the fireplace installer did incorrectly. Reasonably priced and very professional. Will use them again.

Lynn Stokking

16:02 12 Sep 22

The Soot Doctor was a very professional and on point business. We had a semi-neglected chimney and the business owner came in, cleaned it all out and reset everything; and our wood stove has never worked better. We’re so grateful and definitely plan to call again in the spring!

We called Rick to do a fireplace and chimney inspection for a house we are purchasing and he was able to schedule it within a couple days. He and his son are very professional and take the time to explain everything. They were early for the appointment because of their work ethic and not seen in many companies any more. They did a great job and were very tidy. I really appreciated their service and will be using them from here out.

I was referred by WB Stewart & Son because I recently purchased my home and needed a CO. Mr. Rick and his crew was timely, showed so much car and concern for my issue, as well as, instructing me on the way to resolve the problem for maximum solution with minimal cost.

Muff Williams

15:37 09 Apr 21

Rick was there when he said he would be there and did what he said he would do at the price agreed upon. That may sound like a lot but that is not what we go from other companies. Excellent!

Ed English

16:34 17 Mar 21

Soot Doctor gentlemen who came to my home were prompt and efficient. They put down runners to keep my floors clean. My rain cap was "beat up" and they straightened it and told me what kind I needed to replace it. They did a very professional job. I would recommend them to anyone.

Dennis DeAngelo

19:11 30 Jan 21

Very Professional & Clean! Both men wore masks at all times and rolled out a drop cloth from the front door, all the way to my fireplace. They thoroughly cleaned my chimney and checked for Creosote. They took pictures of my chimney top on the roof and emailed me pictures and recommendations for further service in the coming years. Pricing was lower than many competitors. I will definitely use again.

Anthony B

I burn about two cords of wood each winter, it’s essential I clean out my wood-burning insert pipe annually. Top shelf service, knowledgeable and efficient… The only folks we call every year!...as subsequent follow up, I ran into someone I know in town, also is a regular with Richard as well, exact same experience… First class, efficient. It’s worth mentioning, I’ve got two new neighbors who were scratching their heads about who to call, I will provide them guidance…

I live in Mississippi and needed the heater flu and chimney flu inspected, cleaned and any repairs done at my Mother's home in Pennsville that was being sold. We had a closing date and Rick fit the job into his already hectic schedule and did a tremendous job on both projects that allowed us to close on time. I would highly recommend Rick at Soot Doctor.

Outstanding service. I called three people before Rick and he returned my phone call within minutes. His attention to detail was fantastic. He went above and beyond, taking the time to explain the process. I would recommend this company to everyone.
