a shoddy unethical not to code job cost me untold agita and an additional $1800. ryan supposedly lined my chimney and capped it. it didnt become apparent that he had only put a cap on it and had not attached the liner in anyway, until i needed to have the part that connected my pellet sove to the liner replaced. at this point the liner literaslly fell down into my living room. a drone picture confirmed this. he had not attached a flange to secure the liner. when this happened i called ryan and he promised to come by. he was a no show and then ghosted me on subsequent texts and phone messages. i had to hire someone else to redo his non "work"
Description of Work: he was supposed to line and cap my chimney

Caution: Consider Other Options - Disappointing Experience with Backdraft Chimney Services If you're looking for a reliable, responsive company that values timely communication, I strongly recommend searching elsewhere. My association with Ryan, the owner of Backdraft, began in 2018 when we moved into our home. While we initially had a positive impression, my recent experiences have been deeply unsatisfactory. Despite relying on Backdraft for a wood stove insert and installation, our attempts to contact Ryan since February for chimney cleaning and annual stove service have been in vain. We've utilized various methods - emails, calls, and texts - to no avail. This lack of response persisted through the summer and into August. Additionally, I reached out to obtain information about the wood stove dealer for warranty-related parts. Regrettably, there was no response to this query either. Consequently, the $4K stove's warranty remains unutilized. While Backdraft might be suitable for those who don't require heating services urgently, I must emphasize that if you seek responsiveness and genuine customer care, this is not the company to rely on. Prioritize a service provider who values your time and concerns. Don't find yourself in the same situation I did; consider alternatives that genuinely prioritize their customers.
