The big deal turned out alright. There was nothing special. I think they rushed throught the chimney sweep just to get a bigger job of repairing. I had to ask them to go back and do some more cleaning. It seemed like they were more interested in giving the estimate for a bigger job. The job was expected. They were nice and courteous. I wouldn't recommend them or not recommend them.

I used a Angie's List deal for this, so I'm not sure what the normal price would be. They showed up on time, and did a good job. There were a couple things that I needed to have repaired and they let me know what those were in detail and how much it would cost, but no high pressure sales, just when I was ready.

Everything went fine with the cleaning but the inspection provided many areas that will need further repairs. They are coming back to install a chimney cap and we will go from there.

We've lived in our home for 15 years without ever using the fireplace--have now decided to give it a try. Called this company for an inspection and cleaning. They sent 3 people, did the inspection, and said the fireplace was fine--and no cleaning needed. Did find a place where the roofers had left an unsealed area, and sealed that for us. Instead of the quoted $150 price, they charged us 95. And they provided us with tips on the grating and the flue too. Very nice--we will use them again--including for dryer vent cleaning.
Description of Work: Inspected chimney; sealed leak.

They were booked for almost 2 weeks and I wish I could have gotten in sooner. They did say one price then changed it up on me, and I had to bring up an old email of the price they quoted me in the first place.

Response from Chimney Keeper
We appoligize that it took some time to be contacted. Thank you so much for being patient. We like to encourage our yearly customers to set up their cleanings in the warmer months because as soon as we get the first sign of cool weather, the phones start ringing off the hook! We are a small family owned and operated business so yes, sometimes we get behind on the phone calls but it is because we are out in the customers homes getting their fireplace in safe working condition before our short Florida winter comes!

From the moment I contacted Chimney Keepers to take advantage of the Big Deal, the atmosphere was one of courtesy and cooperation. The planner/phone contact was unbelievably pleasant, and accommodated me kindly when I called back with more questions. As for the actual visit to our home, everything went as planned. An advance telephone call was placed to us so we knew when to expect them. The workers were pleasant and professional. One of the owners was on-site to supervise the work and advised us about the fire walls and floor. While we enjoyed having them here, our conversations remained at a minimum, and everyone was just great to work with. Special care was given to leaving no debris and dirt behind. With the depths of fall coming, I can recommend Chimney Keepers unequivocally as the go-to company for fireplace/chimney cleaning needs.

They arrived on time and were here about 30-45 minutes. see above for what they did. I almost fell over when he told me how much $5000 to replace the internal parts of the chimney. He said he could not do the cleaning because the chimney was nt safe. He said he would only charge me $75 and I WOULD GET a refund. I called them ( chimney Keepers) for the refund and they said they have to wait for ANGIE S LIST to refund me the $24. and so here I sit waiting for a refund almost a full month out . I had to call them several TIMES because they said there was a problem with their mailman. I expected to receive a check that was not signed. I already called someone at Angie's list and submitted a review as well as a complaint and now I get an email asking me for the very same thing. Re thinking my subscription to Angie's list at this point if all this is gonna be is finger pointing. Angieslist collects the fee and then splits the proceeds with chimney keeper. I finally received a refund check from chimney keeper but Angie's list did absolutely nothing to get a refund for me except send me empty emails that say I have to wait for the provider.
Description of Work: inspected the chimney and gave me this outrageous plan and cost on how to go about fixing it including tearing apart the back side of my house. very discouraged. could not do the chimeny clean but offered a partial refund which took almost 2 mths to receive.

Response from Chimney Keeper
Thank you for having us come to your home! We really do appriciate your business. Fireplace materials very are expensive and we buy exclusively from fireplace manufactures many times the items are custom ordered for your home. None of our product come from a chain home improvement store and many of the products have a very good warranty. Along with labor cost, insurance and many other items that are required to ensure that your fireplace is safe to burn for your family. We have to purchase these things daily, so we do share your frustration of the cost of things. We try to provide quality work and make the repairs affordable by accepting credit cards and working out payment plans for major fireplace repairs. We appologize about the refund. Yes, you are correct, the customer pays the fee to Angies list and we (the companies providing the work) get our percentage when Angies list sends it to us. Many times, we have already performed the work before we get paid from Angies list. We do reduce our normal feee greatly for Angies list customers, as many companies do, so you are getting a good deal when you purchase through Angies list vs going strait to the company. Unfortunately your fireplace needed more repair than you expected and the refund process was somewhat out of our hands. We have decided to not wait on Angies list and send you the refund so you won't have to wait any longer or submit anymore paperwork, we will deal with the rest of the paperwork and such. Again we do accept credit cards and will work out payment arangements if you decide to use us to do the repairs. Sometimes when a homeowner cannot afford the repairs they just close the fireplace up so it cannot be used, we can assist with that also. We strongly suggest that if our technician said it was not safe to burn, that you do not use the fireplace until the repairs are made by someone who is experienced in fireplace repairs. Safety of the customer and their family is the utmost concern.

Thank you for having us come to your home. We take pride in our work and treat our customers home, how we would want ours. Because of the nature of our business safety is a big issue. It is our job to make sure that the fireplace is safe to burn foryou and your family and if it is not, to notify you of the repairs needed and offer the best price we can while providing quality work.

Response from Chimney Keeper
Thank you for your business! We are very happy to be working with Angies list to provide quality work....for a really good price! We appologize if the technician did not seem friendly, everyone has their "off" days sometimes, perhaps he wasn't feeling well? When we send a technician to your home, we are sending a highly trianed professional, not a sales person. Our main goal is to ensure that the fireplace in your home is safe to burn a fire in, if it is, great! Our job iscomplete! If it isn't it is our responsibility to figure out what needs to be done to make it safe and then go over the options with you. Very sorry again if the technician did not seem friendly, but we CAN insure that you have a safe fireplace when we are finished.

My wife handled most of the interactions: in the end, she felt the work was done competently and honestly, but she felt that it required an absurd amount of effort on her part to see it all through. Granted, it was probably their busiest season (beginning of winter) and then the holidays came along, but it was almost two full months from start to finish on what probably didn't amount to more than one full-day's work. We consider ourselves tolerant, quite aware of the possibility of extenuating circumstances in person's lives that may demand time away from work. Given that the job was eventually done well, and their reputation is quite good, we'll assume that it was just poor expectations management on their part.
