Description of Work: The technician arrived on time and did a quick inspection. He said the fireplace was old but holding up well. He did clean it but said it really didn't need a cleaning other than for cobwebs. He recommended a rain cap to keep the water out. In out and on with our lives.

Description of Work: Gutter cleaning on 2-story house. THere was some confusion at first when the Ai Chimney person said I would have to pay an additional $50 for 1.5 hours of work. When I told him I had already paid for 1.5 hours work, he had to call his employer to verify the coupon deal. Once confirmed, he did the work I needed.

Good
Description of Work: The worker was pleasant and professionally dressed. The cleaning of the chimney and gutters were completed faster than I expected, in about an hour. A few hours after he left I noticed debris still in a gutter that I could see from the inside of the house and I never got around to calling them back. I don't know maybe they just make sure water can flow easy through the gutter and don't eyeball it. I do know it left an uneasy feeling about the others that I couldn't see. I didn't call the company to have him come back out because of my own time restraints. I learned that I need to go outside and supervise, making sure each gutter is being cleaned and check from inside the house the ones I can see.

Description of Work: Several years ago, when run by a different owner, I hired them to clean my chimney. I was happy with the work and price so I called them to clean and inspect my new chimney. They did so, and then gave me an estimate for repairs, and I didn't care for the guy that did the work. He was late and abrasive. The quote for the repair work was really pricey but I told them to call me back in the fall. I spoke to the owner earlier this fall and for the estimated 4-5 hours for the work and minimal materials, he quoted me roughly $1,700. When I asked for a break down regarding why it was so pricey, he agreed to give me a $200-$300 discount. I voiced my concern that this was still incredibly pricey for 4-5 hours of labor. Our call was cut short and I didn't hear back from him. I called this week and spoke with the manager. I explained that $1,400-$1,500 for half a day's work didn't make sense to me. He agreed to talk with the owner. Nonetheless, they stood firm at $1,400. He explained that they make $1,500 a day per truck so why not charge me the same amount regardless of the fact that it was for 4-5 hours of labor. My response: I WILL NEVER HIRE YOU TO DO WORK FOR ME EVER AGAIN.

Well I talked to her today, and wow, was there ever miss communication. She said our manager Martin said the job would take 5 hours, but we would have to charge her for the whole day. After asking Martin that, he said WHAT, you have to be kidding me, we offered her the job even even at a discounted rate, this was not a easy customer

Description of Work: The chimney was cleaned from top to bottom. We have a pellet stove in our fireplace opening, but that did not present a problem. He put down a huge tarp and proceeded to clean everything. He did an outstanding job, and there was not a speck of dust or soot remaining, as everything was spic and span when he left. We would have A1 again without hesitation and recommend them highly!
