Very thorough, courteous, and clean. Did up-sell a bit, but not too much. $120 for a dryer cleaning seemed a bit steep, and so gave a "b" on the price. They were used for chimney cleaning and inspection prior to our purchase of this house, and I picked them from Angie's List.

After getting one other bid (also from Angie's List), we went with Chimney Clean because they could come out sooner than the other company. The sweep arrived on time and was finished on time. He was very pleasant, very informative, and most importantly very clean. Both chimneys are working great now!

Scheduled with office. When an issue came up with the schedule, office called well ahead of time and worked to make things right. Initial visit was to clean ducting, but upon crawling under the house and looking at the duct work, we came to the decision that the ductwork needed to be replaced, in part due to an initial substandard installation. Worked with the office to reschedule and they showed up on time and finished ahead of schedule.
Description of Work: Replaced dryer ducting that was faulty and causing venting into the house.

We had a family of birds nesting in our chimney. When I called to get an estimate all my questions were answered and I was given what proved to be an accurate estimate for the needed work. Once the birds had left the nest I called for an appointment and felt they understood my desire to get the work done ASAP; the work was scheduled for the next week (it could have been a day sooner but the timing was not good for me). I received a call the day ahead to confirm the appointment. Dennis arrived promptly, was very respectful of my floors and household. The work was performed quickly and very professionally. The inspection showed some cracks that needed to be sealed and we were given a reasonable estimate for the work. My husband asked if it was something we could do ourselves it, was told yes and what product to use. No pressure for added services but we were given a coupon for duct and carpet cleaning. Very good experience. I felt like this company is in business to perform a needed service at a fair price; in my opinion that's the way things should be...a price that is fair to both the company and the customer for work well done.
Description of Work: Cleaned my chimney to remove a bird nest, installed a chimney cap and performed an inspection.

I live in a condominium complex and 2 of my neighbors and myself decided that it was time to get our dryer vents cleaned. I found and quot;Chimney Clean and Carpet Clean Companyand quot; here on Angies's List and thought I'd give them a try since my previous experience with other companies was not very satisfactory. I couldn't have been more pleased. Everyone, including Sheila, who scheduled our appointments for us, to Kit who actually performed the job was very professional and easy to deal with. Kit pulled my dryer out from the wall and cleaned out the duct that goes from the dryer to the wall and then went up on the roof to clean out the rest of the vent. He told me that he cleaned a lot of lint out of my vent which made me happy that I decided to have this done. Now, I can feel safe in my home again!! My neighbors told me how pleased they were as well. We all decided that this is the company we will contact again for vent cleaning.

We were able to schedule an appointment within a week of our call. The service was were very punctual, neat and considerate of our furnishings and our time. He covered the floor, carpeting and his shoes to keep everything clean. We felt he was very thorough and knowledgeable. We didn't feel like he tried to sell us unnecessary work or products. This is the second time we have used this company and we will use them again.

My chimney needed to be cleaned, had soot and ash. They were very prompt with appointment and showed up on time. Was very courteous. Spread blanket over the carpet area close to the chimney. He cleaned it from inside and climbed on roof to clean from the top. He noticed some peeling near top wall and asked me if I would like to repair it. I said yes. He was done within 1.5 hour in all. Cleaned up any visible note of his work before leaving. I would definitely call them again for similar work.

I am very very happy with Chimney Clean Company and recommend them highly!
Description of Work: This is the 2nd time I have used Chimney Clean and both times I was helped by Eric. He is very competent and nice to deal with. I used them Oct. 30th for a Duplex I own and was so impressed with Eric that I used them for my own home on Nov. 14th. I would highly recommend this company and I will recommend them to others and also use them again. Both times Eric was exceptional. On my duplex he showed me a couple of hazards that he fixed for me and on my home he really went the extra mile to get my Chimney clean and ready again for a fire.

Everything went smoothly and quickly, from our initial phone call to completion of the vent cleaning to the payment process to following up with our request of invoices via email! The cost was very fair for our two 2-story rental homes. The entire experience was "no fuss, no muss"! The technician performed the cleaning in a professional manner and wonderfully left NO mess behind. This is a great company with excellent customer service! We highly recommend and would use them again!

He was very professional and informative. Also, the company sent a reminder card and called to confirm the appointment.
Description of Work: I had two chimneys cleaned and inspected (one was a masonry fireplace and one was an insert). There were some minor gaps that needed filling in the masonry fireplace, and he recommended a heat reflector for it as well to extend the life of the firebox and to reflect heat back into the house. He did the repairs in the same visit.

Description of Work: Easy, easy easy .... I called and after a few questions I had an estimate and a date for the work. Eric arrived on time and swept and inspected my chimney with efficient ease. He found a small gap in the bottom of the baffle plate and repaired it for just a small additional fee. Left everything clean and picked up. I have already recommended this company to someone else.

Services performed as outlined above -- chimney cleaning, a new chimney cap and ash removal cover replaced at my request. The living room was cleaner than before he was there due to multiple passes with a vacuum. Picked up a couple of new tricks to get a great fire going quickly and we enjoyed one that night. Will do business with them again.
Description of Work: Our chimney wasn't drawing as well as it used to, so decided to get it cleaned. Made the appointment, received a postcard reminder and a call the day before to remind me of the appointment and not to use the fireplace that nght. The cleaner arrived early, carefully put on shoe covers, and covered all surfaces fully. Found a squirrel's nest in the flue. Also, the cap on the fireplace was too small, which would contribute to smoke coming back into the house. I okayed a replacement which was done on the spot. While walking me through the best process to build a great fire I was reminded that our ash cover had disintegrated from old age (house was built in 1927) and asked if he had a replacement. He checked in his truck, found one to fit and cemented it in place. the whole process tk less than 2 hours.
