Need a reliable Chimney Sweep for my Wood Stove

[koshmom.livejournal.com]

Today I went to the showroom for my local fireplace store to schedule a chimney sweep (Buchanan Fireplace in Medford) and there was a sign on the door that they have closed permanently.  Calling their number confirmed this sad fact, and their website's gone.

Thus, I need a trustworthy chimney sweep.  I have a woodstove insert, and have never had it swept since I bought the insert, so I don't know what is involved.  All I know is that the woodstove flue is overdue for a cleaning.  Are there any local tradespeople recommended by this group?  I did a search, and the "home services" tag seems to be the most relevant, but I didn't find anything obvious about chimney sweeps.

Even as the tagmaster here, I'm not really sure what the difference is between home services and home repair. So I added the latter tag to your post. Earlier home repair posts include some that are about chimneys.

ETA: there's one recommendation here
