What Astoria Homeowners Say About Level Two Chimney Astoria
Reviews matter in Astoria because our housing stock is old, dense, and full of surprises. A prewar rowhouse chimney has decades of use behind it, and the difference between a quick sweep and a full rebuild often comes down to what a camera actually sees. Since 2009, we’ve completed more than 38,000 chimney inspections and cleanings, and every one of them ended with a written price before work started, a documented photo record when it was done, and a homeowner who knew exactly what they were paying for. Here’s what some of them have to say.
Recent Reviews
“The technician showed me the camera footage from inside my flue and I could see the cracked tile myself. No guesswork. He explained what it meant in plain terms and gave me a written quote on the spot. The liner replacement was done two weeks later and I have every photo from before and after.”

“I’d been told by another company that I needed a full rebuild. Level Two came in, ran a Level 2 camera inspection, and showed me the actual condition. Crown was fine. Flue needed a sweep and nothing else. They talked me out of a $6,000 job and charged me for exactly what the chimney needed. That’s honesty you don’t see often.”

“Third-floor walkup, narrow access, and a flue that hadn’t been swept in at least a decade. The Class III creosote buildup was substantial. They worked carefully, showed me the before and after photos, and left the place cleaner than they found it. The written price I got before they started matched the final invoice to the dollar.”

“We’d just bought a place near Astoria Park and had no idea what condition the chimney was in. Level Two sent a background-checked tech who texted us when he was on the way, which we appreciated. The inspection report came with photos of everything: the flue liner, the cap, the crown. We paid for a sweep and a new cap. The liner could wait. They told us that plainly and scheduled a follow-up check for next year.”

“What sold me was the written warranty before any work started. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard means you get a written price, a written scope, and a written warranty delivered before anyone puts a brush in the flue. The sweep itself took about an hour. They even made a note on the record about some spalling on the crown, which I now know means the concrete surface is flaking and will need attention eventually, not immediately.”

“I called on a Sunday evening expecting voicemail. A real person answered. That’s rare. The tech arrived on schedule, the quote was in writing before he started, and he documented everything with photos. When I had a question about whether I actually needed the chimney cap replacement they quoted, they sent me the camera stills and walked me through it on the phone. No pressure at all.”
