I originally bought a deal for chimney sweeping for a house I just bought. When the tech arrived he told me the chimney was clean and did not need to be swept. He did find some cracking in the bottom plate of the fireplace however and said they could apply the price of the chimney sweep to the new bottom plate. All work was done very quickly and every tech who came to my house was very professional. I appreciated that they did not sweep my chimney, take their money and run. I will use this company in a year or two when I really do need my chimney swept! In the meantime I have a much safer fireplace and the peace of mind that goes with it!

This deal was purchased  on December 7, 2015.  After having to cancel several times due to rain, they rescheduled for January 18, 2016 between 4 -6 pm.  The technician showed up at 2 p.m. and when no one was at the house, he left.  (This house is currently vacant and being remodeled) When I showed up at 3:45 and found out that they had already come by I called and got an apology and another reschedule for today, January 26.  Again, he arrived earlier than his scheduled appointment.  However, the contractors who are remodeling my house were there and he proceeded to do his inspection.  From what I am told from the contractors, he looked at the chimney from the ground (it is a 2 story house) never used a ladder or got on the roof. He opened the door to the fireplace and looked up the chimney and gave me an all satisfactory on his written inspection report.  10 minutes worth of work for $85.  This chimney has been leaking for years and has caused thousands of dollars worth of damage to this house.  I had a roofer that temporarily fixed the leak with some silicone and I was trying to get a professional chimney company to come out and fix it properly.  As you can probably already guess, IT WON'T BE THIS GUY!

UPDATE
Lets show the rest of your response that you emailed to me:

In return I ask that you call Angie's List at 888-888-list to edit or remove the review. Again, we would like the opportunity to show you that what you have seen from our company is absolutely not how we normally do business, and show you that we can live up to our reputation. I request that all future contact with our company comes through me at the information listed below to avoid any future mistakes.

MY ANSWER:

While I appreciate your offer, no sir, I respectfully refuse to accept it.  Since you did not sign your response after the line ?the
information listed below? I can only assume it was made by a sir.  The technician who signed the invoice left at my house was John Tisdale, the owner of the company.  You only get one chance to make a first impression.  This was a job interview for you and you failed miserably.  As for removing the review, no sir, I will not remove it.  That is the whole point of having Angie?s list.   It was an honest review and I think that the public has the right to read the bad along with the good if that be the case.  If
you sincerely wish to better your reviews, I suggest that you remember this one the next time you have a job that you don't want to perform correctly.


Response from ARC Chimney Sweeps
"I am so sorry for the scheduling issues we had with you. Unfortunately with the metal 2 story roof you have is extremely unsafe in any kind of bad weather, so we were forced to reschedule. As far as the other scheduling mishaps - I am truly sorry, and I am still looking into what happened. When our technician cam out he did absolutely get on your roof and complete the full level 1 safety inspection. In that inspection he did not find any evidence or signs of a leaking chimney. We have reached out to you through email and offered a free leak estimate (up to a level 3 inspection $325.00 value) and 20 percent off any repairs needed on your chimney. We truly hope to be able to come out and make this situation right by you."

This was a $50 big deal purchase. It ended up being okay. I had a couple of issues with the price that was quoted to me versus what they told me once they got there. I talked to the owner's nephew and he said that he was going to take care of it. I think the total I paid was around $550. The initial consultation that the owner's nephew did was pretty quick, but it took another couple of weeks before the people actually doing the work actually came. It took going back and forth between the people doing the work and the owner's nephew who did the quote to get, I guess, a resolution done.

"Thank you for your review on our company. I apologize for the confusion the day of your install. I am glad we were able to come to a conclusion, and leave you with a fireplace that is up to standards. For your troubles we would like to offer you a free chimney cleaning next year. Again, thank you for taking the time to review us!"

We purchased a home with 3 fireplaces, all were determined to be code 3 fire hazards within the inspection and ARC was able to bring all of them up to code, despite two being newer fireplaces and one being an original mason fireplace created within the home in 1926, without damaging or compromising the beauty and aesthetics of the original mason work.
Would use again for any fireplace needs.

Went pretty well but felt like a sales trip to sell more services at a higher price
Response from ARC Chimney Sweeps
"Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately a big part of our job is to inform customers of defects and problems with their systems. I am sorry you felt as if we were just trying to sell you something, but you have safety issues with your system that need to be addressed. We did not try to sell you anything you do not need, or try to force you into buying anything additional from our company. Once again we are very sorry you felt as if we were only trying to sell you something."

The people from ARC are wonderful! I could not ask for any nicer prompt, reliable service. They explained everything that needed to be done, showed pictures of the interior of the chimney before and after repair, were very prompt with the service. I highly recommend them if you need something done to your fireplace/chimney!!!

Arrived on time, performed the inspection and discussed options.  Took on the additional job of cleaning the chimney and had it done quickly.  Very professional and work was done well.  Will definitely use this company for future work.
