"They found a cracked flue liner our last company missed. Honest, thorough, and the photo report was incredibly detailed. We'll use Widen every year."

Sarah M.

"Fast, clean, professional. Cleaned our dryer vent and chimney on the same visit. Cut our dryer time in half. Great value."

Marcus T.
Naperville

"Our crown was cracked and flashing was pulling away. Fixed both in one day and the work is beautiful. No more leaks."

Jennifer K.

"Called about a smoke smell. They came out same week, found the issue, fixed it on the spot. Transparent pricing, no surprises."

David R.

"The team was respectful, on time, and cleaned up after themselves. They explained everything clearly without trying to upsell. Refreshing."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on costs, warning signs, timelines & more — no jargon, no pressure.

At least once per year, ideally before winter. Frequent wood burning or using unseasoned firewood may require more frequent service. Annual cleaning prevents dangerous creosote buildup that causes chimney fires.
Most chimney cleanings range from $150–$350 depending on condition, chimney type, and access. We provide upfront pricing before starting — no hidden fees, no surprises.
Clothes taking multiple cycles to dry, the dryer feeling unusually hot, a burning smell during operation, or the outside vent flap not opening. Clogged dryer vents are a leading cause of house fires.
Yes. Chimney leaks typically come from damaged flashing, cracked crowns, deteriorated mortar, or failed chase covers. We diagnose the exact source and fix it with premium, weather-resistant materials.
We serve all of Chicago and 100+ suburbs across Cook, DuPage, and Lake Counties — from Lake Forest and Highland Park on the North Shore, to Des Plaines and Park Ridge in the northwest, Naperville and Hinsdale out west, and Orland Park and Tinley Park to the south.
Yes. Widen Chicago Chimney & Vent Co. is fully licensed, bonded, and insured in Illinois. Our technicians are certified and follow NCSG (National Chimney Sweep Guild) standards on every job.
