It was a good experience. The style I ordered took awhile to come in, but I was warned that might be the case. Debbie at the office kept me informed of the delay by periodically calling me. They were willing to work around my work schedule in terms of the installation.

I contacted the company by e-mail and Debbie responded right away both by phone and e-mail with information on pricing, what would be done during the cleaning, and availability. After getting some more information about my fireplace she set up an appointment for 2 weeks later. She gave me a 4-hour time frame and offered to have the technician call me an hour before the workers were to come. I got a reminder phone call at home the day before the appointment and the phone call an hour before. Every conversation was pleasant and professional. Two very professional and pleasant workers, Shawn and Chuck, arrived right on time, explained what was going to happen, and gave me some tips on fireplace safety. Cloths were laid down to protect my floor and rug and everything was very clean when they were done about an hour later. I had my dryer vent cleaned the same day. I was very pleased and will call them again. This is a family owned company in business for a number of years; they also give a discount for Angie's List and are big fans of it.
Description of Work: Cleaned my family room double-sided fireplace. They brought in a large vacuum and used some large brushes to clean the chimney and did a visual "Level I Inspection" by shining lights up into the chimney box through the damper and inspecting the outside of the chimney. We do not have brickwork on the outside of our chimney. The grate was removed and ashes were cleaned up. The company is advertised as a "Full Service Company" and that they have "certified chimney sweeps" so more services are available than I had done. The "certified" designation was important in making my decision to use this company.

I had this done at the same time as chimney cleaning. I contacted the company by phone and e-mail using the address I found at www.kbchimney.com. I received an immediate response from Debbie in the office. I set up an appointment to clean the dryer vent at the same time as the chimney cleaning. It saved me some money to combine the appointments. There is a discount for combining air duct cleaning with other appointments, also. I plan to have my air ducts cleaned sometime and will definitely will use this company. See more info in my report under "Chimney Sweeps".
Description of Work: Used a large special vacuum to remove lint and debris from the dryer vent. Checked the hose connections to the vent.

We initially called Kingsborough to clean our two fireplaces. We had just moved into a house and the fireplaces were filthy. While cleaning, the technician noticed a large gap in the living room fireplace that spanned the lintel. This was a potential fire hazard and we would not be able to use the fireplace until it was repaired. They came back within the week to repair the gap. The fireplace has worked well ever since.
Description of Work: Fireplace sweeping and packed gap in fireplace with fireproof insulation, installed reinforcement wire mesh and seal with high heat mortar.

Shawn arrived on time for an estimate. He was very knowledgeable, answered all my questions and didn't try to sell me more than I needed. Shawn installed the stainless steel liner in about two hours and didn't leave a mess. A very professional job. The mason came to install the precast crown less than a week after the liner. His work was superior.
Description of Work: Installed precast crown and stainless steel chimney liner.

We hired Kingsborough to do a chimney inspection and cleaning (if necessary). We hired them based on the positive reviews here, and particularly the number of people who commented that they were honest about letting you know when a cleaning wasn't necessary. That turned out to be the case for us, too. I really appreciate honest service providers like Kingsborough and will certainly use them again for periodic chimney inspections and cleanings.

This went well, however, the price seemed a little high for work that was completed in 25 minutes. They added a mesh screen only. Inspection took 5 minutes. Mesh addition took approx. 20 min.
Description of Work: We had a bird drop into our fireplace. Because we just had our siding redone we wanted to have the the chimney cap inspected. After inspection, they determined the bird came in at a gap between the round mesh topper coming out of the flew. They offered to added a screen. The service call was priced at $60 and the mesh screen was an additional $75.

We have 2 fireplaces and wanted to get both cleaned and ready for this winter. Shawn looked at both fireplaces and advised the second fireplace didn't need cleaning. I appreciate his honesty! He found some cracks on the chimney when he got up to the roof and I authorized him to fix them at an additional cost. Overall, Shawn was very professional and did an excellent job!

Overall they did a nice job. They were very friendly and professional and I was very pleased. There were little children in the house, so if they were a little more attentive to safety in that situation they would have been superb, but overall they were great!

Only a part of the price was for the chimney sweep. We had some additional services as well. They are professional and have good quality control. It is my understanding that sometimes these jobs can cause a mess in the house. They went out of their way to make sure they were clean. I would recommend them to others.

Went well. The tuckpointer came out within a week of the estimate and completed the job. Price seemed high, but may have been because this was a small job. Have used Kingsborough before and they do good work.
