How the scores work

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, compared with the other chimney companies in the Minneapolis area. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a few dozen. Recency shows how recently customers are still leaving reviews.

What drives chimney service prices in Minneapolis

No prices are published here. Repairs depend on how much brick, mortar or liner is involved, how high the work is and whether a rebuild is needed. One JJ Chimney Services reviewer was given three repair options at three prices, so compare written quotes.
