    We had our fireplace cleaned after six years and called A1 Quality Chimney Cleaning Service & Repair. The work was done professionally, and everything was thoroughly cleaned up at the end of the job. I was very happy with the representative who performed the service. He was pleasant, courteous, and professional throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this company and its employees, who truly stand behind their motto, “Quality Service with Pride.” I have already recommended them to other neighbours who need this service. Thank you for the excellent service! Maximilan de Souza

    I would highly recommend A1 Chimney and Repair! Jacob did an amazing job at cleaning our chimney. He was very knowledgeable, answered all our questions. We have used them in the past to do repairs. The quality of their work is outstanding. If you are thinking about getting repairs done or having your chimney cleaned they are the best!

    Really great team here, highly recommended. Needed a WETT inspection on a wood stove and fireplace for insurance purposes. Friendly staff, communicative and transparent, professional work. I'd use them again any day.

    Hi there...It was a pleasure working with the company. Quick contact with the manager, both by phone and email. The work was completed the day after the request was made. Jacob, the contractor, did everything cleanly and professionally, and it was a pleasure to talk to 😉. I personally recommend the company and will use them again in the future. Best regards.

    We recently changed home insurance carriers and were confronted with the need to get a valid W.E.T.T. inspection certificate for our woodburning stove insert. The inspection was thorough, and gave us confidence that safety requirements needed by the insurance company, also were of benefit for our peace of mind. The W.E.T.T. inspection service is reasonably priced, and we will continue to use A1 for chimney cleaning when required.

    Don't hesitate to call A1! I needed a tall old chimney that is shared between my semi and the one it’s attached too. Both owners were considering tearing it down and we need to be absolutely sure that nothing was vented through it. I called A1 because of the recommendations I’d read. A1 sent Steven to my place and after a thorough inspection, he was 98% sure that nothing was vented through it. He also provided excellent photos of the chimney’s exterior and interior so both owners could see its condition. A few days later, I got a call from Kelly, one of the A1 owners. He wanted to be100% sure that nothing was vented through it- 98% just wasn’t good enough. After additional inquiries, Kelly was 100% confident that it was safe to remove the chimney (as getting this wrong would be dire...). Both A1 fellows were helpful, knowledgable and friendly to deal with— I don’t hesitate to recommend them. And, as other reviewers have said, don’t be put off by the name A1.

Company Background

About A1 Quality Chimney Cleaning & Repair

A1 Quality Chimney Cleaning & Repair is based at 48 Fieldway Rd in Etobicoke, and a good share of its work is the older west-end housing around it: tall brick chimneys on semis, narrow lots where neighbours' roofs sit close, and heritage homes whose flues have not been touched in years. The company says it has been cleaning and repairing Toronto chimneys for over 40 years, and its site claims more than 60,000 customers, including work for the City of Toronto and the University of Toronto.

The service list covers sweeping, WETT inspections, draft and smoking problems, animal and blockage removal, caps, dampers, tuckpointing, brick replacement, crown and flashing repair, full rebuilds and stainless or aluminum liners. It also services condominium and multi-residential buildings. The site lists WETT certified inspectors, sweeps and technicians, a TSSA licensed contractor badge, a Metro Toronto licensed contractor badge, an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and insurance through third party liability and WSIB. It names Etobicoke, North York, York, East York, Leaside and Scarborough among its Toronto service areas, along with Mississauga, Brampton and Vaughan.

Reviews back up the masonry side. One Etobicoke-area customer described Owen removing a crumbling crown slab carefully because the neighbours' houses were so close, then pouring a new slab and fitting a more secure cap after squirrels had nested. Another praised Steven and Kelly for taking an extra step to confirm that nothing vented through a shared chimney before it was taken down. A third said Jacob and Owen never tried to upsell. One reviewer mentioned some confusion before a repair quote arrived, which is worth keeping in mind. The company holds 4.9 from 252 Google reviews, read October 22, 2026.

It suits owners of older houses who want a sweep and a repair from the same crew, and condo boards looking for a vendor. It suits less well anyone who needs Sunday service or a firm price over the phone, since estimates are done on site. Before booking, ask for proof of WETT certification, a WSIB clearance certificate and liability insurance, ask whether your sweep is WETT certified, confirm whether your repair needs a City of Toronto building permit, and ask how long the repair warranty lasts. Ontario does not licence chimney sweeps or masons.

A1 Quality Chimney Cleaning & Repair FAQs

  • Is A1 Quality Chimney Cleaning & Repair licensed and WETT certified?

    The company states that its inspectors, sweeps and technicians are WETT certified. Its site also lists a TSSA licensed contractor badge, a Metro Toronto licensed contractor badge and an A+ Better Business Bureau rating, without giving numbers. Ontario does not licence chimney sweeps or masons, so ask for proof of WETT certification, a WSIB clearance certificate and liability insurance, and check with the City of Toronto whether your masonry or liner job needs a building permit.

  • What are A1 Quality Chimney's hours, and do they offer emergency service?

    Google lists hours of 9 AM to 7 PM Monday to Friday and 9 AM to 5 PM on Saturday, with Sundays closed. The company's site does not mention emergency or after-hours call-outs, so ask when you phone (416) 231-6560 whether urgent problems such as a blocked flue can be fitted in before you book.

  • Does A1 Quality Chimney offer free estimates and a warranty in Toronto?

    Yes, the company offers free estimates and says it stands behind major repairs with a warranty, though the site does not state how long it lasts, so ask for the term in writing. It serves Etobicoke, North York, York, East York, Leaside and Scarborough as well as Mississauga, Brampton and Vaughan. Financing is not mentioned on the site.

  • Is A1 Quality Chimney Cleaning & Repair licensed and insured?

    We checked 0 of 5 credentials against the issuing authority. Verified items carry the date we checked; reported items are what the business told us and we could not independently confirm.

  • What areas does A1 Quality Chimney Cleaning & Repair serve?

    Toronto. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.

  • Does A1 Quality Chimney Cleaning & Repair offer emergency service?

    Emergency availability is not listed for this company. If you need an urgent call-out, check the ranking for companies that do list it.

  • What warranty do they offer?

    Warranty on all major repairs; length not stated on the site. There are usually two warranties on a job: the manufacturer covers materials, the contractor covers workmanship. Get both in writing and check whether the workmanship coverage transfers if you sell.

  • How was this profile built?
