No service was performed. No one showed up.
Description of Work: I called on 11/23 to set up an appointment for an estimate. I was told they could fit me in on 12/1 between 11:00-2:00PM. At approximately 12:30PM on 12/1 I called to confirm the appointment since I did not receive a confirmation call the day before. I didn't receive a call back and no one showed up. I guess they don't need my business!

They did a great job for a good price. The new flues do great work. Not only did they close off the chimney they took it down to the parapet level of the roof. I like their work and I will employ them again. I have another chimney on that building that is starting to show the same symptoms of the one that was capped.
Description of Work: They closed off an old brick chimney that did not work anymore, and capped it. They also did new piping for two furnaces for the two units that the old chimney served.

This went very well. First he inspected the chimney and told me what needed to be done to give it an approved status. He also told me the total cost. He didn't have everything he needed to repair my chimney so he went back and got some supplies. The total thing took about 2.5 hours. He cleaned up afterward. I am very happy and I sold the house.
Description of Work: I needed the chimney certified so that I could pass the Maywood village inspection to sell the house. Many chimney companies said they would not guarantee their work or give me paperwork that it was "certified". Chimney USA said they would give me a receipt with an approval of an inspection. They came within a day as they seem to be well staffed. The guy inspected the (very seldom used) chimney and repaired the top of the outside of the chimney. He also tuckpointed the fireplace inside and of course cleaned it all.

After scheduling an appointment several weeks in advance, the provider was to come in to give a quote on installation of a stainless steel chimney liner. Appoint was scheduled for "the morning." First call to confirm 30 minutes before arrival came at 10:53a. At 11:13a, the second call came to say they would be delayed due to traffic. At 1:07p, they called to say they just couldn't make it. The professional thing to do would have been to say they could not accommodate the job at least the day before. I advise anyone considering this company to proceed with caution.
Description of Work: Requested an quote on installation of a chimney liner, but vendor was unable to complete the job.

The company was recommended by another AL vendor who was highly rated, but who said I was extremely out-of-service area so he recommended this company. It is a company located on the South side of Chicago as am I. I assumed there would be no issues involving location (as I have CONSISTENTLY had this problem since becoming an AL subscriber over 10 yrs ago!). I gave the female who answered the company's listed number all pertinent information. I was told that "she would look at the calendar/schedule and get back to me". I was never called back. I don't know if the company was too busy, didn't want a "small job" like mine because...., etc. As much as I hate to speculate, one can't help doing it when companies behave like this and don't "follow through". The other AL vendor spoke in very confident terms about this company, so I was rather surprised that my potential business as a possible new customer was just ignored.
Description of Work: Failed to return call as promised to schedule a chimney cleaning.

Everything went well. Mirna called ahead of time to let us know when they were on the way. Jacob and Arturo were hard workers and did a great job. One chimney was really blocked so they had to spend a lot of time unblocking it. They were very professional and cleaned up after themselves. Mirna came by to check their work progress and make sure we were happy with what they were doing. I would definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: They worked on our two chimneys. They removed blockage in chimneys, installed concrete crowns, installed chimney liners (one stainless steel, one aluminum) with top plates and chimney caps, connected liners to boiler and hot water heaters, and resealed flashing at roofline.

The representative came over the day I made my request. She had some possible solutions to the problem but said it would be difficult to be sure until the chimney was cleaned. She said she would send me a proposal. I never received a proposal so I found another company to do the work.
Description of Work: I requested a chimney cleaning and suggestions about how to eliminate the smoke that backed up in the second fireplace when using the primary fireplace.

Went very well. They showed up when they said they would and started right away. Kept the area clean of debris and finished on the second day taking all debris with them and cleaning up before they left.
Description of Work: Tore down and rebuilt chimney from roofline, Installed chimney crown, stainless steel liner, flue cap and reconnected furnace and hot water heater to flue. Did not do a very good job with the flashing around the chimney, and there was a leak when it rained. I called Chimney USA to fix the flashing, and it took them over a week to come out and when they did they put an aluminium tape around the top of the flashing to fix it. Basically just a band-aid and it looked terrible. I called them back to let them know how disappointed I was with this and wanted them to fix it right. It took them another two weeks to get back out to replace the flashing and did a terrible job replacing it. You would think a place that rebuilds chimneys would know how to install a flashing correctly. I will be replacing the flashing myself, the right way. All in all, they did a great job rebuilding the chimney, but the flashing made a good job look very bad.

On Sunday morning we woke to find no heat in our home. After examining our boiler and finding that its "blocked vent shut-off switch" had been activated, I called Chimney USA for emergency service to remove the blockage. I told them that I had seen squirrels entering the chimney cap earlier in the week and that the boiler and water heater vents smelled of burned leaves; I suspected the blockage might relate to the squirrel activity. Mirna advised that they should be able to arrive before noon to perform the work. Chimney USA (Mirna and Jacob) arrived at 11:45am and promptly got to work. They disassembled the ductwork leading from the boiler to the chimney, swept out the flue and removed the squirrel nest, and reassembled the ducts afterward. The old chimney cap was damaged/removed during this work, which I anticipated would happen, but was not replaced due to snow accumulation on the roof. By 1:45pm the work (including cleanup) was complete, including a draft test and confirmation that the chimney was properly venting again. The cost ($500) was acceptable but not inclusive of installation of a new chimney cap. A new chimney cap will need to be installed at a later date, and I plan to hire Chimney USA to do that job as well. I found Jacob and Mirna to both be very friendly and professional. I appreciated their prompt response and attention to detail. The job was done to my satisfaction, though I am eager for better weather to come so that they can install a new chimney cap to keep squirrels/debris from entering in the future. Would happily recommend to friends and family.
Description of Work: Chimney USA provided emergency (Sunday) service to unblock our chimney flue, which was clogged by a squirrel nest and debris.

They did miss the first apointment, but it is the busy season. They came by, and cleaned it out, which was not easy. The pipe was hard to access do to the way the furnace was put in. They did get rid of most of the blockage. The rest is part of a bigger job that needs to be done come springtime. I will be using Chimney USA to do this work come the spring. I would recommend them.

The provider called and cancelled the first appointment they made with me and told me that they would need to come on Thursday morning instead of Tuesday, so I agreed to the change. I made it clear that I had two fireplaces I needed to have checked out and that I would have to leave by 11:00 am to go to work, so she assured me that I would be the first customer of the day and that they would be here no later than 9:30. She said someone would call me a half an hour before arrival. At a bit after 9:30 when I had not heard from them, I called to see what was happening and she said that "she was just about to call me, that they were on their way". when I reminded her that I needed to leave by 11:00, she checked the GPS and said that it would take them 50 minutes to get here, and I said we might as well forget it as that would give them only half an hour. She didn't remember whether they were checking a fireplace or a furnace, so when I reminded her that I have two fireplaces, she agreed that they would not have enough time. So I told her to forget it. I didn't figure rescheduling with people who were clearly this unprofessional would be a better experience than I'd already had.
