They replaced it with a metal screen so that it wouldn't cause a fire in the future. The technicians was prompt, courteous and explained everything thoroughly. They were also very good at getting me on the schedule asap even though it was the busy season. I had to get the fireplace fixed before closing on my home and they were very responsive in my time of need. They also did a full chimney sweep and inspection.
Description of Work: We had a cracked fiberglass board in the wood burning fireplace in our basement.

It didn't. They cancelled on us at the last minute.
Description of Work: I wanted to have our chimney cleaned and responded to an Angie's list special. We had to wait several weeks for our appointment. They were to arrive between 8 am and 12 pm. I received a call just before 10 am to say they wouldn't be coming because it was too cold out. My wife went to work as did millions of other people today. Their next available appointment for us is in three weeks in early January. So much for enjoying our fireplace over the holidays. I'm getting a refund. Disgusted.

We apologize for the inconvenience! We have to think of the safety of our employees and they work outside. When it is below zero it is unsafe for them to work outdoors.

It didn't go and that is the problem
Description of Work: chimney sweep special $99.00. booked several weeks in advance with a 12-2 pm time. They could not make that time and wanted me to wait around for them. I had to get back to work. I had contractors there and they could have come but they said I needed to be there. They said they would call to set up another appointment and I missed the call. I have called them back several times and left messages and am getting no response. I paid up front and have not received any service or even a return phone call.

Great! They were excellent and have referred them already.
Description of Work: They came to inspect my gas fireplace. they ended up noticing that the caps on my chimneys had issues. They replaced the one which was rusted through. The other two without clamps were replaced when my roof was replaced and I have contacted that contractor. If I do not hear from him soon I will be hiring A-1 to fix those chimney caps.

Services were performed as described. Inspection identified several items which service tech recommended get done. Those items had an estimated cost of $1200 which included $400 to reseal two chimneys at the roof. These estimates seemed high so I declined these services.

It was good. They were very helpful and they also actually brought to my attention some problems that I had with the venting up on my roof, so I was able to have them take care of that, which, by the looks of it, it was like the next big winter storm, and I would be losing the caps because they would be blown off in the winter. So they helped me kind of divert what may have been a more costly fix or repair at a time of the year that it wouldn't be good getting up on the roof to do this kind of stuff. I appreciated that. The technician was extremely polite and showed me everything, took pictures even. They e-mailed me the pictures. He and his partner were very professional and very polite. They came within a month because I know that that time of the year is busy and everybody is trying to get chimneys cleaned and what not at that point in time because it's getting cold. They were prompt, I think I had to change the appointment time once with them and they were very flexible. They were very prompt. For the cleaning service, they charged $99. Obviously replacing what needed to be replaced on the roof was in addition to that, which was fine. I felt comfortable with that. I wasn't quite prepared for the cost, but I felt that they were being fair and I certainly could have said, "Hey, well, I'm going to have it checked out," but I felt that they were being fair from the business perspective. They did it all in one go, so I was glad about that because I didn't have to make arrangements to be home from work for another day. So, I appreciated that. In total, it ended up being just a little bit over $800. They were great all the way around. They left me a couple of extra cards, I'm going to let my neighbors know too, about them because I thought they were very good. Anthony D'angelo, that's who was here. When you let people in your home, businesses are supposed to be professional and everything like that and it's just always nice when people do exactly what they're supposed to be doing and acting in a professional manner. It's just nice that it seems to be a very upstanding business and the people that they employ seem to be very upstanding and that's nice.

I was told that the cleaning/inspection could not be performed because he couldn't remove chimney cap. By the time A-1 left, they had written me an estimate for a new chimney cap for almost $800 so they could then do the cleaning and flu inspection. Not to mention the other $2000+ work that they said I needed outside the chimney. I could only imagine what they would have come up with once they got inside the chimney for inspection. Being a retired general contractor for over 25 years, I could see what was going on. Their prices were very high on top of it all for all the extras they tried to sell me. I have since hired one of the other 2 contractors I contacted. Both said they would have no issues doing the work with my existing chimney cap.
