Tech arrived on time and called first as was arranged. Once here, the techs put cloths down to protect floor and furnishings and went right to work. When they were finished they showed me their work and evaluation, including photos. I found the work to be done very professionally and respectfully. Also, I thought their service was a great value.

After reading other people's reviews on Angie's list, I decided to call Kingsborough Chimney for a price quote. The lady I spoke to on the phone seemed knowledgeable and provided details of what the service would entail. She provided a price quote as well as an approximate timing of how long it would take to clean the air ducts (which was about 3.5 - 5 hours). I went ahead and scheduled an appointment. On the day of the service, Shawn (technician) called about a half an hour prior to arriving to let me know that he was on the way. When he arrived, he described what he was going to do and went right to work. Shawn was very thorough, professional and kept the place clean. There was one air duct that was sealed shut by the previous owners when they painted over the air ducts. Before Shawn took off the cover, he informed us that the paint will probably chip off and look a little messy and asked us if it was okay to proceed. Since we wanted all of the air ducts cleaned, we gave him the OK to move forward. He said that he would try and be as neat as possible, which he was. Overall, Shawn was very thorough with his work and didn't leave a mess. He placed all of the air duct covers back properly. I would definitely use this company again in the future.
Description of Work: Performed air duct cleaning throughout the house.

Very good experience. Work started on time and the dryer vent was cleaned. During the process he noticed that the vent tubing had disconnected at the exterior wall in the garage. He reattached the tubing and taped as necessary. I have used this company several times in the past and will certainly use them in the future.

Overall, I was very pleased with the service and having this done. Who knows what's blowing around these old homes, etc, it was worth the money. My contractor friend asked his HVAC guys if it was worth it to do on a house like mine, they said absolutely and that $500+/- was a fair price. I had heard about these duct cleaning scams, so I researched and glad to have a resource like Angie's List.
Description of Work: I bought my 1929 house in July 2011. I had no idea what the sellers had done as far as maintenance on the home and with winter coming, I wanted the air ducts cleaned and chimney/fireplace inspected and cleaned before I put them into high use. The technician (sorry, can't remember his name, but said he had 15 years experience), arrived within allotted timeframe, was friendly and got right to work. He made sure to cover all necessary areas with drop cloths. He arrived around 10:45am and finished with the air duct cleaning around 1:30pm...yup, it was that involved of a process, he even came across funky screens in the ducts, which we think was meant for keeping mice out. He then moved on to inspect the chimney/fireplace and said all looked fine, clean, made some optional suggestion with a new liner and a potential fire hazard with the mantel, but I wasn't charged for anything related to the chimney as no work was done and no overtime for dealing with the air ducts.

Shawn arrived on time and did everything that I hired him to do. He inspected the gas fireplace for leaks, checked the flue, removed the logs and checked the burner and evened out the sand. He fired it up and explained the do's and don'ts of gas fireplaces. He went outside,threw up a ladder and checked the chimney from the top down. He inspected the cap. He did everything I hired him to do and did not try to sell me anything I did not need. Highly recommend them and would use them again.

Originally contracted to clean fireplace and chimney flue and inspect ductwork; instead, after looking at the chimney, they said it didn't need cleaning for another two years. They performed the air duct cleaning throughout the registers over a five hour period. As Angie's List members, they extended a 5% discount on the original $710 price.

I appreciated getting their inspection and recommendation at no cost. Considering other options before deciding what to do.
Description of Work: Requested a chimney cleaning and as part of inspecting the chimney they reported missing mortar in the fire tiles near the top of the chimney. Their recommendation was to install a liner and top of chimney damper at a total cost of $5000+. I decided to get another opinion and called another Angies List recommended company.

I have an old Superior Fire-A-Lator fireplace system and the stainless steel looked like it has cracks in it. Kingsborough came out and inspected the fireplace as well as went outside and looked at the chimney. They confirmed that it was cracked and explained if it could even be repaired or. We asked them lots of questions about wood burning versus converting to gas etc. They answered all of our questions and gave us several different options to consider. They arrived within the time window, and called before their arrival. They were very thorough in their inspection.
Description of Work: Called for an estimate to see if fireplace could be repaired or replaced.

We called Kingsborough to set up a date and time to inspect and clean our six-year old fireplace. Shaun arrived within the time window set up. He laid drop-cloths where ever he would work and from the front door to the fireplace. He thoroughly cleaned the fireplace and inspected the chimney. The only problem he found was a cracked back panel. He suggested We watch it to make sure it doesn't expand and suggested we may want to replace it next year. He was prompt, efficient and professional. The area was as clean when he left as it was when he arrived. My wife and I are highly pleased

Technician was prompt, very professional, and did an excellent job. He inspected everything, cleaned our electrostatic filter, and gave recommendations on how often the ducts should be cleaned.
