Companies that earn certification pay a participation fee after qualifying, which covers the cost of ongoing research and publication. This fee has no influence on whether a company qualifies or how they appear in our directory.

To be eligible:

  • Contact the company through Best Pick Reports or BestPickReports.com
  • Register for the guarantee (free)
  • Submit any claim within 45 days of the final date of service

This guarantee applies only to Certified Best Pick companies, not Standard Pros. Full terms are available on our guarantee page.

Check the damper by looking up the flue with a flashlight to ensure it opens and closes properly. Inspect the chimney cap and screen for damage or debris. Look for white staining, cracks, or loose mortar on the exterior chimney. Verify the fireplace screen is intact and check for animal nests or blockages.
DC chimney companies can perform all levels of inspections (Level I basic inspections to Level III extensive procedures), clean chimneys, update or repair chimney components, and make homes safer.
