The following represents a sample of testimonials that we have received from our valued customers, many of these were sent to owner Mike Panzarella as "thank you" notes. I am writing to recommend a local business, Strictly Chimneys, located in Berlin, CT. The morning after a nice fire in our fireplace I went to close the damper.
How often should I have my chimney cleaned? This a tougher question than it sounds. The quick simple answer is: The National Fire Protection Association standard 211 says, Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances.

From my first phone call to Strictly Chimneys to my very last email communication with owner Mike Panzarella, I couldn't have asked for a more professional, integral, pleasant experience. I was told by Mike, up front, what they would do to install a new chimney cap, was given a price beforehand (and it was a fair, competitive price), was given an install date, and was also told I would be called with a head's-up when the install crew was headed to my house. As promised, Strictly Chimneys delivered to the letter and on every front.

Great service, extremely professional and prompt!
After having Creative Masonry not show up for an appointment to replace my chimney cap, I called Strictly Chimneys. That same afternoon a crew came by and had the new cap installed in less than 30 minutes. They cleaned up their site, were helpful and really nice.
On top of everything else, Mario charged much less than I was quoted by Creative Masonry. I'm so happy I worked with Strictly Chimneys!

Mike and his crew are absolutely the best. He is so friendly and professional. Strictly Chimneys gave the best quote out of three and performed high quality service. I used them a few years back to clean my chimney and put on a cap, and today they did major repair work rebuilding layers of brick, redoing the flashing and repointing the mitered joints (if I'm saying all that right). Highly highly recommend!!

Planned to call several Chimney-cleaning places for my parents before speaking with Strictly Chimneys, but the person I spoke to did a great job of explaining everything to me (we may have had/ultimately did have a broken damper) and wasn't at all pressuring, so I gave them the job. Everything got taken care of and the person who came said our chimney didn't need a cleaning yet, so we weren't charged for that. I appreciate Strictly Chimney's professionalism, helpfulness, and honesty. Will strongly recommend to anyone who asks now.

I was told by my heating oil company (who were working on my oil burner) that my 50 year old chimney's clay tile liner was very deteriorated and that I needed a new stainless steel liner ASAP. So I did my research and Mike who is the owner of Strictly Chimney seemed to have the highest ratings on every review site that I searched so I called him! He seemed VERY honest and he asked very detailed questions which I was able to accurately answer so he gave me a very fair price estimate range! The exact price in the range to be determined by the difficulty and time to complete the job! He gave me an
