Description of Work: We had some chimney work done by another provider who we were not happy with. We asked Dave to come by to inspect their work and fix anything that was not done correctly, as well as clean the chimney while he was there. In the end, Dave talked me out of work that I thought I needed. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and honest. In the future, no one else will be touching my chimney except Dave.

That went perfect for me. I spent $1,000 on that work and it was all outside work. After the work was done, we had a big rainstorm and no water came in. They also cleaned up after themselves and I can’t even tell that they were here.
Description of Work: I hired August West Chimney Sweeps on the 11th of August to seal my chimney because there was a little bit of water leakage.

The story is told above. He did go to the basement to check and see if there were other places to clean. He did miss a trapdoor for ashes. I missed it too. I thought it was a left over from possibly having a coal furnace with a chute at one time. The basement is very dark so I don't blame him for the omission and he didn't charge me the whole price of the cleaning because he didn't find anything else to clean. He takes his work very seriously or he has a very dry sense of humor.
Description of Work: James came, looked over the dirty chimney and proceeded to work. He cleaned out a nest and a dead squirrel from just above the fireplace. Replaced the flue, which I had knocked off the track. Gave us a referral for a person who would repoint the firebox. Cleaned up and left. Very efficient.

I was extremely pleased by the honesty as I have 4 chimney flues. He stated only 1 needed the cleaning. He telephoned stating his was running late due to his previous appointment. He said he would arrive in 15 minutes and arrived as stated. Upon scheduling the appointment, I had a verbal quote and the company stuck to the price. The entire job took 30 minutes.
Description of Work: I had one chimney sweep cleaned by the use of a high powered machine attached to the service vehicle. The company did an excellent job of cleaning up the dust and debris at the end of the job.
