GREAT SERVICE, ON TIME, DID NOT LEAVE ANY DIRT OR MATERIALS FOR ME TO CLEAN UP, VERY POLITE, AND TOOK THE TIME TO SHOW ME HOW TO REPLACE AIR FILTERS IN FURNACE. HE ALSO SHOWED ME THE AMOUNT OF DIRT THAT WAS PULLED OUT OF THE AIR VENTS. HE CHECKED THE FIREPLACE AND IT DIDN'T NEED CLEANING. HE SHOWED ME HOW TO USE THE FIREPLACE AND EXPLAINED WHY NO CLEANING WAS NEEDED. I WOULD USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN.

HE HAD TO PULL THE HEAVY MACHINE UP TO OUR SECOND FLOOR TO CLEAN THE DUCTS UPSTAIRS. THEN HE CHECKED IT OUT AND DIDN'T CHARGE ME FOR THE SECOND FLOOR DUCTS AND FURNACE, AS IT WASN'T THAT DIRTY AND HE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THE FULL CLEANING. CLEANED THE DUCTS ON THE FIRST FLOOR AND BASEMENT WHICH, HE SAID, WERE QUITE DIRTY AS WE HAD JUST HAD SOME CONSTRUCTION DONE. HE CLEANED OUR DRYER VENT AND TOLD US THAT IT REALLY NEEDED IT. THEN HE CHECKED OUR FIREPLACES, AND SAID NEITHER NEEDED CLEANING, BUT HE SAW A CRACK IN ONE AND SEALED IT. THIS COMPANY WAS A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE WITH THEIR QUOTE, BUT BECAUSE THEY WERE SO FAIR, I THINK IT ENDED UP BEING WHAT THE OTHER COMPANY QUOTED. I WOULD USE THEM AGAIN!

THEY LIVED UP TO THEIR STRONG RATINGS BY RESOLVING A DIFFICULT LEAK WITH PERSEVERANCE AND PROFESSIONALISM. KNOWING THAT LEAKS CAN BE HIT-AND-MISS, CHUCK AND SHAWN PROVIDED A PLAN TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM IN THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE MANNER. WHEN THE FIRST APPROACH DID NOT FULLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE, THE FOLLOW-UP SOLUTION DID. THEY PROVIDED COMPLETE EXPLANATIONS (INCLUDING SHAWN'S CHIMNEY-TOP VIDEO FOOTAGE AS A VISUAL AID) AND WERE A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. DEBBIE'S OFFICE FOLLOW-UP WAS ALSO PROMPT AND COURTEOUS.
Description of Work: THE COMPANY WAS CALLED TO RESOLVE A SEVERE LEAK OF UNCERTAIN ORIGIN DRIPPING INTO OUR FIREPLACE. THEY SOLVED IT IN TWO STEPS BY REPLACING AN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED CAP (WHICH DID NOT FULLY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM) AND THEN INSTALLING A STEEL CROWN WITH REQUIRED FLASHING, CHANNELING AND SEALING.

CHUCK, THE CHIMNEY SWEEP PERSON, WAS EARLY AND VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. HE ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS AND COMPLETED THE REPAIRS QUICKLY. AS THIS IS MY 1ST TIME USING A CHIMNEY SWEEP, I AM UNABLE TO COMMENT ON THEIR PRICE COMPARED TO THEIR COMPETITORS.

THIS IS A SERVICE THAT'S REALLY HARD TO GUAGE PRICING ON. EVERY COMPANY HAS THEIR OWN BIAS AS TO HOW THEY DO IT AND WHY IT IS THE BEST WAY.
Description of Work: DUCT CLEANING WAS DONE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OUR 25YR OLD HOUSE. THE PRICING FOR THIS WORK CAN BE VERY CONFUSING. ADS SHOW PRICES STARTING AS LOW AS $150. AFTER SEEING THE LARGE VACUUM MACHINE WHEELED INTO THE BASEMENT AND CONSIDERING THE TIME SPENT WORKING ON THE DUCTS (APPROX. 4 HRS.) I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW THIS JOB COULD BE DONE ADEQUATELY FOR $150. SHAUN WAS NEAT, COURTEOUS AND PROFESSIONAL GOING ABOUT DOING THIS WORK.

REPLACING THE CROWN AND TUCKPOINTING OF THE BRICKS WAS ALSO RECOMMENDED AT A COST OF $2670 AND THE WORK WILL PROBABLY BE DONE IN THE SPRING.
Description of Work: THEY FIRST DID A THOROUGH INSPECTION OF THE CHIMNEY, FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, AND PROVIDED A DETAILED ESTIMATE OF THE RECOMMENDED WORK, INCLUDING PHOTOS OF THE TOP PORTION OF THE CHIMNEY, WHICH I FOUND VERY HELPFUL IN UNDERSTANDING THE WORK NEEDED. A DETERIORATING AND UNDERSIZED FLUE LINER WAS REPLACED WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE A DIFFICULT INSTALLATION. IT CAN BE ASSUMED THAT THE PREVIOUS LINER WAS USED BY THE OTHER COMPANY BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET THE LARGER ONE IN. CHUCK AND SHAUN WORKED HARD TO GET THE PROPER LINER IN AND AFTER CONSIDERABLE EFFORT, WERE SUCCESFUL.
