Absolutely fabulous. I will never hire another chimney sweep again. Dr. Soot was really personable and an incredibly hard worker. He was at my house about 4 hours, and was extremely meticulous and thorough. He showed me what he found, reviewed the cleaning results and what he observed. Because I burn a lot of wood, I have used a chimney sweep every year since 1985. Nobody compares to Dr. Soot. And he was very reasonably priced. Suffice to say, no one but Dr. Soot will ever clean my chimney again, or provide other chimney-related services. He is the best out there. And I know, because I have tried them all....
Description of Work: Dr. Soot cleaned my big triple-flue center chimney. We use one fireplace quite a bit and I had not had it cleaned last year because I couldn't find a chimney sweep that was satisfactory.

We've been using Dr. Soot for at least 20 years. He is always prompt, courteous and thorough! We use our woodstove throughout the Fall and winter and have peace of mind knowing Bob ensures we can use it safely.
Description of Work: Brush and scrape rain cap, flue , chimney connector and wood stove Caulk flashing. We also had Bob check our chimney as we thought it needed repointing, but he assured us it was in good shape. Phew!

He was really dirty, but professional and well-spoken. Was careful of carpets, etc. Put out drop cloths as needed. We felt the price was a bit expensive. He arrived promptly at the appointed time and spent three hours at the house.
Description of Work: The owner/operator cleaned both chimneys (oil furnace and fireplace), examined the chimney on the roof and removed all ashes, took out the damper and cleaned it and cleaned the fireplace from the inside. Very thorough.
