Chimney Sweeps & Cleaning

Beckers has been the the go to most referred chimney sweep in the greater Wilmington area. As a home or business owner, it is advised that you have your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year if you heat your home with oil, and every two years if you heat with gas by a licensed chimney seep. This will keep your furnace running more efficiently; therefore, saving you money on your heating bills, and protect your home from any chimney-related hazards. Fireplace chimneys should be inspected often if they are used on a regular basis throughout the winter. chimney Sweep services find if there are potential fire hazards and help you correct small chimney issues before they become more expensive and dangerous ones.

Chimney Cleaning / Chimney Sweeping is necessary for the health and safety of your home and its inhabitants. Regular chimney cleanings will help keep your home free of allergens, prevent creosote and dirt buildup, and prevent water from entering the chimney and causing damage (the damage that this buildup, such as creosote, can do is explained a more detail on our main chimney page). Cleanings will also help you to rid your chimney of any unwanted nests, leaves, and other blow-ins from the outdoors.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) advises home and business owners to schedule their annual chimney cleanings around the time of Halloween, as doing so will prepare your chimney for the fall and winter wood-burning season and the approaching cold harsh weather.

The Becker team is absolutely top notch! I have worked with contractors over the course of 30 years in both commercial scale and residential projects. Becker's stands at the top for service, expertise, doggedness in problem solving, punctuality and fairness of pricing. But more, you become family. When emergencies arise--storm damage--their response is immediate. I couldn't be fortunate enough to have become part of the Becker family.read more

I have had one of my doors leak pretty significantly every time it rains, and there has been a lo of rain this season so I was pretty stressed and eager to get this issue resolved. I, and several other opinions, agreed it likely had to do with the flashing so I researched some reputable companies and chose Beckers. I'm not sure how the ball was dropped on this project but I definitely don't relate to all the 5/5 star reviews with this company. It started out great with a nice gentlemen who came out to survey what I needed done, reassured me not to worry, and I got the quote quickly. I called and got it scheduled but they were scheduling nearly a month out. So I had another month of rain coming in my house. When they could finally come, I was out of town but they again reassured me they could take care of it and would address the needs. I asked several times if the flashing would be taken out where the deck meets the house and was told yes. I spoke to gentlemen who did the work via phone who said he didn't think it was the flashing but that it was the j-channel from the roof above so he fixed that instead? After paying almost 500$ and after waiting over a month for the job to be done, it is still leaking with rain. I called the company back and said I wanted someone to come back out, which they did, and I was told I would get another quote to take the door out and replace the flashing (which is what I had asked to be done initially) but 2 weeks later I am still waiting for this quote. I'm not sure if this was a small project and the company was just uninterested in it from the start but I had told them several times how stressed I was about getting water in my house for months now and would have appreciated them at least telling me they didn't want the job instead of wasting my time AND my money. I went with another company who took the door out, noted how bad the flashing was installed, re did the flashing, and resealed the door for a great price within a week of me contacting them. So I will not be using Beckers again and would not recommend to anyone.read more

I interviewed roughly 10 area roofing firms. Many of them are inter-related (Paddy's owner is the uncle of the owner of another firm, etc). Beckers was not the lowest bidder but was fair and had a professional and comprehensive proposal. The replaced my cedar shake roof with a synthetic slate roof that looks absolutely real and stunning. It comes with a transferrable 50-year warranty. The Beckers--father and son team--were consummate professionals throughout. What impressed me most about the Beckers is how they stand by their work, and their commitment to make things right if they are responsible. I have two examples worth sharing. First, they neglected to install ice breaks on my roof. It was not in the scope of work in our agreement. This resulted in damage to my copper rain gutters. After I raised the issue with them, the Beckers installed high quality ice breaks all over the roof at no charge. Second, we had a leak in our house that our insurance claims adjustor blamed on the cricket and flashing where the roof met the chimney. The Beckers inspected it and concluded it was the chimney, not the roofing. The insurance team was adamant, and they spent thousands repairing the designated area. A few weeks later we had Biblical rains. The leak returned. It was the chimney all along. The insurance company wouldn't pay for the chimney as they had "fixed" the problem earlier. Had they listened to the Beckers, I wouldn't have had another $15,000 in costs replacing a chimney and repairing water damage. Solid team who know their craft and give fair prices and reasonable time lines. By far the best combination of value and professionalism in the greater Wilmington area.read more

We are in the process of selling our home and we have had to fix a few things (of course) and while getting quotes it is easy to see how different companies will charge drastically different amounts for the same exact thing. We were able to find Becker’s Chimney and Roofing based on recommendations and I cannot say enough kind things about them. Not only were they 100% honest, they were able to fix the problem on the spot with a wonderful price that didn’t over-inflate because of scheduling or other various reasons. Selling your home can be mighty stressful but companies like Becker’s make it much easier because you know you are dealing with an honest and qualified processional. Thank you tremendously! We will definitely be using Becker’s again!!!read more

We used Beckers for the complete removal and replacement of our damaged chimney system, and it was a great experience from start to finish. They were very professional and friendly on the phone, during the estimate, and throughout the install. They even suggested a possible solution during the estimate that wouldn't have involved us hiring them (with a hi-efficiency HVAC unit, we wouldn't need the chimney replaced, just capped). They arrived right on time, set a great expectation of how the job would go, and they left the work area immaculate when they were done. I would use them again, and recommend them to anyone.read more

Recently, we had two chimneys pointed and new caps installed. We also had an exterior door removed and the opening filled in with brick. The work crew arrived on time, did a great job and cleaned everything up when they were done. We we especially impressed with the way the new bricks and mortar were matched to the existing wall. Looks much better than we expected. Five star job!read more
