The work was excellent. They did a good job. I did not need it as I had gas logs but they did arrange those as needed. They were professional. He was nice to work with.

It turned out great. It took a while to get scheduled because they were backed up from the Big Deals. I had to schedule about 5 weeks out. The sent 2 people out to do the job and they got the job done in about 30 minutes. The workers were fine and friendly guys.

dryer vent cleaning
  + -1 more
I hired another company to clean my dryer vent a few weeks ago and they were unable to fully clear the blockage. They suggested that the pipe may be disconnected and I would have to cut out the ceiling to find it. I contacted Lance at Atlanta Fireplace Specialists and scheduled a time for the same week. Lance and his crew said they would do an initial cleaning and if the problem still existed they were prepared to cut into the ceiling if necessary to complete the repair. Fortunately for me, Lance had a heavy duty vacuum that was able to suck out the nasty blockage quickly and clear out the vent. The guys really did a great job and left my house just as they found it. I am so happy with the results. My dryer went from taking 3 cycles to dry a load of towels to just one. I only wish I had called them first. Thank you so much for fixing the problem for me!

My experience turned out pretty well. Scheduling was a little problematic since the technician was overwhelmed. The service was fast when he did come out to do the work and he gave me great safety advice for my fireplace. It took him about an hour to complete the job. The results were good and my fireplace was useable as soon as he left.

Lance was professional and on time. He was more than willing to please and to ensure he did the job right. He was honest and truly knows what he is doing, he even drew out a picture of how to operate with instructions and saved in my file so if I call him with issues he has a copy to and knows how to step me through it. Highly recommend him to anyone!! Thanks for saving my family prior to the snow and ice storm.
Description of Work: He fixed our non-working gas fireplace with ease. Many others have looked and could not figure it out and he knew exactly what to do. 1999 fireplace with blower and wall turn on.

He was very sensitive to the fact that we had cats we did not want to get out. I'm assuming chimney cleaning could be a sooty mess, but he left the living room cleaner than he found it. He was also very knowledgeable and could answer all my questions.

Response from Atlanta Fireplace Specialists
[member name removed], I apologize for never contacting you. We got so busy over the last few months that it pointed out all the flaws in our business. We have been working diligently to correct the issues, but have definitely not been operating at the level that we like to. After reading your review, I contacted the technician that did the work and found out he forgot to turn in your paper work. I have it now. . . not that that helps. Please forgive us, we have honestly been doing the best we can. This has been the busiest season so far and like I said, we have learned all the ways we need to improve. I assure you that steps are being taken to make sure this kind of mistake will not happen again.

Lance was on time and very professional. He made sure to spend time educating me on what needed work and what did not need work. He did not try to sell me stuff that I did not want nor needed. We scheduled a time that was good for both of us, and I am very happy with his service. I did not need anything major done to my fireplace this year, just a check up and a sweep.

It went good. There were three people that came out. Two worked on the fireplace and one worked on the chimney. They were all very professional, courteous, and mindful of keeping my home clean. They were very helpful in explaining what they were going to do and what the next step would be. The only problem I had was that they were supposed to check my dryer vent and water heater and they forgot. I had to remind them about the dryer vent, so I'm glad I remembered to ask them as it was full of dryer lint! I did forget to mention the water heater though. However, they found rust on top of the chimney that needs to be replaced. I'm going to get a second opinion before I replace the part. Since they came out, I've fired up the chimney and everything went fine. I think they did an excellent job.

Lance contacted me quickly to let me know that they were very busy but that he would get with me to schedule a visit as soon as possible. He continued to keep in contact with me and arranged to come out within the next week. He arrived on time and completed the work quickly and professionally. He answered all my questions and gave me good advice on what I needed. I was very satisfied with his service and would not hesitate to use him in the future!

Response from Atlanta Fireplace Specialists
I sincerely apologize that you some how slipped through the cracks this year. I promise that we are doing the absolute best we can to keep up and respond to everyone. I admit, that is not happening as well as I would like. We are a small company, made up of service techs, who spend MOST of our time in the field helping other customers. We are very good at what we do and therefore have been crushed by new work this year. I cannot even describe how many new calls we get every day and how hard that alone makes it to keep up with the calls we already got. In fact, the reason the voice mail sent you to the website contact form is because the phone was ringing so much, we could not use it to call out. It is a new solution we are working on to help us keep it all straight. Again, we are doing the best we can. I could do what other companies do, which is hire seasonal untrained techs to keep up with demand and maximize profit for myself. However, I will not do that. I will never send guys into your home that I myself do not know and trust. I am currently working 14+ hours a day, SEVEN days a week (for over two months now), trying my very best to take care of it all. We WILL NOT get to everyone this year. I apologize again that you were one of the ones we did not get to in time. I hope the other company was able to fix your fireplace. Thanks, Lance

The service went very well especially the professionalism, the quality of the product and the technical expertise, the way it was explained and the quality of installation. Just everything from start to finished. The technician who did the job had done it for a long time and he really just do his stuff inside and out. He really kind of went above and beyond.

Moved in the house a few months ago and needed the chimnet inspected before I tried the gas logs.Had it inspected by another company anwill use a\d they showed me the gap and gave me a cost for the repair. I decided to comparison shop. AFS had other good reviews and quoted a better price. The Techs arrived promptly (which is important to me). They sealed around the entire firbox edge with a high temp cement, made no mess and even swept the hearth when finished.I am very pleased and will use again when I need fireplace service.

They cleaned out the vent as requested and did the inspections. I also gained some information on how to clean the brick surrounding our fireplace. They were honest and reminded me that I had already paid for the coupon so I didn't need to write them a check. They stopped me from making a mistake and paying twice. They also did not tack on extra expenses that were not included in the coupon. The only thing that bothered me was that three men did the job and when I let them into the house they went in a couple of different directions. To the fireplace and to the laundry room. That and the fact that their truck was unmarked gave me an uneasy feeling although I have no reason to doubt that they are honest men. I was glad that my husband happened to be home at the time. I was expecting it to be a one-man job. Having three to keep track of threw me off.

Response from Atlanta Fireplace Specialists
Wow, This is the first time we have ever been criticized for showing up in force to get a job completed quickly. Sometimes my guys and I ride around together and sometimes we split up. It all depends on the schedule for that particular day. We went in two directions because the discounted coupon you bought included a service and a separate inspection. The faster we can get that all done, the faster we can get out of your house. We were not aware there were any trust issues or concerns of any kind. Not once have we ever had an Angie's List member question that. . .after reading our reviews. The truck is unmarked because the signs I bought for it got ruined and I have not had the money to buy new ones. However, we showed up in matching uniforms with the company name on the shirt. I am terribly sorry that we showed up ready to service your home and it made you feel uncomfortable. I wish you would have said something while we were there, so we could have talked about it and made you feel better. Thanks, Lance

Overall, a great experience. We had a minor initial schedule mix-up, but nothing that would take away from the quality of the end result. Lance was extremely thorough and professional in addressing all of our questions and concerns. He asked a lot of questions on the initial phone call and conveyed a deep sense of knowledge, which allowed him to arrive very well-prepared. While the work we required was not extensive, based on this experience, we will certainly call Lance first going forward.
Description of Work: Inspected 3 fireplaces (2 wood-burning, 1 gas). 1 wood-burning fireplace received an OK. The second required a wasp nest to be removed. Finally, the gas fireplace needed more attention. The gas logs were not installed properly. Lance evaluated the entire unit and enclosure and corrected all past installation errors.
