[Member Name Removed], thank you for the positive review. When a company has to order custom parts and are at that companies mercy things sometimes things take longer than expected. We place our orders as soon as we receive the deposit and then put it in our ordered file, that file is reviewed at least once a week to follow up with the supplier, when we do know of pending delays we try and let our customers know and sometimes good intentions get over looked

They were on time, explained all they were going to do, covered up the surrounding area and sent a brush up my chimney, it was very dirty. They explained the importance of keeping your chimney clean.

I have been trying to schedule an inspection and cleaning since 10/16. Called and emailed and every time am told "Later this week or early next; I'm doing the best I can." I can't attest to the work quality but waiting a month for an appointment has certainly put a sour spin on the transaction.

Thank you for the review. When a company is booked up at least three weeks during their normal times, then their is an influx of calls and then you become booked some four to six weeks out it is very hard to meet everyone's request for service. While I understand that a property owner wants to satisfy their tenants request, it is hard for us to do when we have no openings and are trying to work these request in the work load. Patients on both sides is important this time of year. Going to a web site and posting a negative review on a company that is booked out and is trying to work your request into their work load is wrong, especially when all you have done is call to request service and they are trying to fulfill that request.

my friend called for an estimate. She was directed to make appointment on the hudson chimney website. The appointment was made and it took about four days for an estimate. Very nice and professional man(owner) came out for the estimate. He seemed very thorough and discussed what needed to be done about her leaking chimney. He suggested a pan replacement and something else for about $950.00. He said it would take about 2-3 weeks for the material to come in and for him to get her on the repair schedule. My friend made appointments with two other Chimney repair companies for estimates. The second company came out and gave an estimate and was able to repair the leak three days later. Here is where the problem comes in with Hudson Chimney. When she called to today(8/4/15) to cancel the repair with Hudson. She was met with animosity. Even though, it would take another two and a half weeks for Hudson to get to her for the repair, he became angry. He said she had a verbal deal that he would do the repair. He said he had already ordered the parts for the chimney and they were expensive. My friend told him, as a courtesy she was calling him to cancel the repair. He was very angry and loud. She told him that she would never recommend his company to anyone because of how he was acting over the phone. The call ended when my friend advised him that she was going to hang up the phone and not argue with him. She hung up the phone and asked me to posted this review on angies list. It has only been 3 business days since Hudson Chimney came to their house with an estimate. He expected her to wait two more weeks for him to come out. Wow! just very disappointed with his attitude and tone. We will not use this company in the future or recommend it to anyone.
Description of Work: Provider came out to give an estimate on 7/30/2015.

We do business on a hand shake and have done so for years, we tend to trust the people that we do business with, but when a client doesn't tell you that they have also called several other companies out to give them estimates after they agreed to give you the job and then calls you six days later and tells you that they have had some other company to do the repairs to their chimney it is upsetting. Now the items that were ordered that were custom fabricated for her chimney have to be paid for to the fabricator of her custom parts it is upsetting. The animosity came in when one realizes that because of the clients lack of openness with you that it just cost you several hundreds of dollars for a custom part that you ordered and now can't use. She stated that she did so as a curiosity, the curiosity should have been when she was given the price that she stated that she had appointments with other companies and would lets us know who she was going to have do the work instead of making a verbal contract and authorizing our company to order the parts for the job. We explained to her that it may take up to ten working days for the work to be completed because we were unsure of the fabricators work load, today is only to 12th calender days and the 7th working day and we were notified today that the parts were ready. Being honest and open on both sides would not have caused the problem here, but her not being honest with us about calling other companies and then 6 days after we had been given to OK to proceed being told that she had someone else do the job is being honest with the company that she had already contracted with.

It went great he did us a great service and helped us out quite a bit
Description of Work: Mark answered our call promptly and said he could make it out to clean out our chimney that day so the smoke would quit coming into the house. He arrived 35 minutes early and promptly got to work he swept out the chimney and and even replaced the fire place grate free of charge. He may have been a little pricey on the sweep job but I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for, he didn't try to up sell us on anything and he gave us great advice on how to get our fired to light smoother and without releasing as much smoke. I will most definitely hire him again for future endeavors.

The guy is a con man. He told me he charged an inspection fee, which would be deducted off of future repairs. He was high, but I knew I would do any repairs if needed so I was fine with the fee. He came out, told me the chimney needed repairs and that he would send me a written report and an estimate. I never heard from him again. He basically stole $125 from me. I'm not sure if he ever had any intention of doing the necessary repairs to get my chimney operable. I don't know how the man sleeps at night.

Member, As you know we were trying to find information on who sold and serviced the gas logs that were in your fireplace that were not working cecause of the lack of directions on how to use them. Gas is something that I don't like to play with and will always defer to the directions or someone else when not sure. As of the date that you were sent the inspection and the cost to repair your chimney to a working condition I still had not received the needed information on the gas log controls. While I will admit I should have made an effort to comunicate better with you to keep you updated as to what was going on, it isn't right for someone to make such a statement about a company. I also apologized to you in the email that was sent to you containing the report and the repair cost proposal. I think that if this would have been me waiting on information and I hadn't heard from the company, I believe that I would have a least made a phone call to find out what was going on before I posted at statement such as this about the company. We have been doing business in the Jacksonville and surrounding areas for over 32 years now and have never conned or ripped off anyone nor to we ever intend to do so. Our company is probally the most truthful chimney company in the entire Northeastern Florida area, if not in the entire state of Florida.

Gave a suggestion and proposal on how to take care of the moisture problem in the chimney. Did not push. Gave me several brochure to read about the suggested action (to apply ChimneySaver on the outside of the stucco (after power-washing). I would recommend him to anyone, and use him again.

Response from HUDSON CHIMNEY INC
The homeowner has been sent a written report of the condition of his so 30 year old prefadricated fireplace. While on the property we gave him a verbal report of what was wrong and told him that the company that manufactured his fireplace was no longer in business and that replacement parts would be hard to find. We stated that we would explore other options of repair with generic parts to see if the problems that another company had caused could be repaired. When he called a few weeks later we told him that we were at the mercy of the manufactures and that when we received the information that we would be back in contact with him. We just received that information and have now sent him our findings. He was told before we scheduled the appointment that there would be an inspection fee of $175.00, then at his home we told him that we would apply it back to the cost of repairs if they were made and that the cost that he would be quoted would already reflect the removal of that fee.
