2 months agoThere are so many Chimney businesses to choose from and I chose Original Chimney based on customer reviews. All 5 stars. In the initial call, everything was explained in detail with upfront pricing. No surprises. Ryan came to our house and did the inspection. He was very knowledgeable and very nice. Our fireplace was in good condition so we didn't need a sweep or repairs. I thought the upfront price for the sweep was very reasonable and the price for the inspection was reasonable. I highly recommend this business and would use them again. -

5 months agoThis is the second time we've used Original Chimney to inspect and clean our chimney. Once again we are very pleased. Our technician was Ryan and he arrived exactly at the time we arranged, which is always a plus. He worked efficiently and kept all our indoor surfaces clean. I definitely recommend Original Chimney! -

5 months agoUnfortunately, website says drop by and see the showroom! Came by, just as website indicated, and showroom is locked - can't see the showroom (can't even get in the parking lot). Very disappointed as it's a one hr trip to do what they indicate and then find it's locked during their posted business hours and can't see. If you're interested in seeing options (I) look online, (ii) submit info on line, (iii) wait for them to contact you, (iv) possibly visit. Maybe a good store / service - recommendation for Original Chimney - just update website to indicate you can't actually come see it; clearly indicate can only come after submitting information and setting up appointment - I think everyone will be happy to do it, they just need to know.

FAQ
How does Chip's Chimney determine pricing for a chimney sweep?
We provide custom quotes based on your specific situation, as every chimney is different. A quick sweep for a rarely-used guest fireplace costs less than cleaning a chimney used daily throughout winter. During your initial consultation, we'll discuss what's included in our service-full inspection of the flue and firebox, removal of soot and creosote, checks for moisture damage or blockages, and any safety concerns we identify. This breakdown helps you understand exactly what you're paying for and what to expect.
Are you licensed and insured?
Chip's Chimney maintains the certifications and insurance required to serve Rapid City and the surrounding area safely and professionally. We recommend asking any chimney service provider about their licensing, insurance coverage, and professional certifications before hiring. This protects both you and ensures the work meets industry safety standards.
Does Chip's Chimney handle chimney cap installation and flue liner repair?
Yes, we handle comprehensive chimney solutions beyond basic cleaning. Our services include chimney cap installation, flue liner inspection and repair, and complete installations and upgrades. Whether you need a new stainless steel cap, a damaged liner replaced, or other structural repairs, we have the expertise and equipment to assess the problem and provide the right solution for your heating system.
How quickly can you schedule an appointment?
Chip's Chimney works to accommodate your schedule in the Rapid City area. We recommend contacting us directly to discuss your needs and find a time that works for you. Scheduling your sweep during the off-season or early fall, before heavy fireplace use, helps ensure availability and allows us to address any issues before winter arrives.
Will Chip's Chimney leave my home clean after the sweep?
Absolutely. We use clean drop cloths to protect your flooring and furnishings around the fireplace area, and we seal off the work zone to prevent soot from spreading into your home. Our equipment includes powerful commercial-grade vacuums and proper protective gear to contain dust and debris. Once the job is complete, we remove all materials and clean up thoroughly, leaving your home in the condition we found it.
Why should I hire a professional instead of cleaning my chimney myself?
Professional chimney sweeping is safer and more effective than DIY attempts. Creosote-the flammable byproduct that builds up on chimney walls-requires specialized tools and training to remove properly, especially when heavy buildup occurs. We conduct a thorough inspection to identify potential hazards like deterioration, blockages, or unsafe conditions that you might miss. A professional inspection also documents the chimney's condition and alerts you to any repairs needed before they become dangerous or costly.
