Highly recommend Jeff Sikes Chimney Services! My wife and I are very happy with the job that Jeff and his son did for us and they were able to save us almost $2k in comparison to quotes from other companies in the area. Jeff delivered on absolutely everything he promised and more. Crystal was super great to work with for scheduling and Jeff and his son were an absolute pleasure to have in our home.

The Sikes have my strongest endorsement for fireplace/chimney inspections and service. They left my hearth area cleaner than when they got here. Personable and professional service. Reasonably priced, especially given their command of the subject. Warm (pun intended) and friendly.

We bought our home last year and one of the primary selling points was the wood burning fireplace anchoring the living and dining room. One of the first things we did was have Jeff come out and confirm it was all in working order. Not only did he put in the work to make sure it was safe to use, but he also found and fixed a crack in the exterior mortar that was allowing water to come into our attic.
Jeff Sikes Chimney Services proudly serves Wilmington and the greater Cape Fear region, including Leland, Hampstead, Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Surf City, and surrounding communities in New Hanover, Brunswick, and Pender counties.

Had Jeff replace my rusting chimney cap and chase cover. The price was reasonable and he and his son did a great job. He's also a very nice person and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs chimney work — and I'm pretty picky. I wish all the contractors I dealt with were like Jeff.

Chase and chimney cap replaced by Jeff, beautiful work! Crystal helped us with the logistics of the replacement and Jeff was very easy to work with. He takes pride in his work and is available if you need anything.

Needed a custom cap installed on my chimney due to the non-standard size of the chimney. Jeff and Crystal were great to work with. Quality work and fair pricing. Would recommend them for any chimney needs.

Awesome service, they were fast, responsive to my calls, and both my fireplaces now work. A huge bonus was how sweet Jeff was with my 2 year old son. My son insisted on watching Jeff the whole time he was here and Jeff was very patient and fun!

Most professional and honest company. Flat rate prices. Scheduled a cleaning and inspection for an old home I bought. Jeff came out and while inspecting he told me that I do not need a cleaning and that it would be a waste of money. Went over the inspection very thoroughly. Highly recommend Jeff Sikes.
