Description of Work: Sol came to gave an estimate for a problem we had. He was pleasant, professional and courteous. He immediately identified the problem but felt it was something his company could not handle. He later called me back with the name of another company that he thought could do the job, who we wound up hiring! I truly appreciated his concern, even when he knew he wasn't going to do the work.

Description of Work: They checked out three gas fireplaces in our new pre-owned home. They came out of their typical service area, yet were prompt, courteous, and professional. They knew exactly what they were doing and helped educate us on the different types of units that we had. We would definitely have them come back.

Description of Work: The fireplace chimney stack was damaged during a windstorm. Replacing it was more difficult than I could have ever anticipated. A few firms I contacted before Sol's seemed stymied or reluctant to replace it. However, the brothers at Sol's tracked down the part and installed it. Not only were they professional, they were personable, making the experience successful and pleasant. I highly recommend them.

It went extremely well. Sol came out, and proceeded to inspect the chimney from my living room, where he discovered that there was debris accumulated and the chimney walls were flaking. He laid down a drop cloth, cleaned the lower half of the chimney, picked up the cloth and borrowed our broom to clean up any stray dust. He then recommended that we seal off the chimney because it was dangerous and purchase a gas unit. He told us how to seal it with sheet metal and the model of gas logs we would need. The other option was to purchase a chimney liner which would cost about $5000. He did not make a hard sell for this option although this is his business. In fact he thought the gas logs made more sense for us. He told us to check out to go to a home improvement store. We were quite impressed.
Description of Work: Sol, the owner came out and performed the service. He was thorough and exceptionally clean for such a dirty job. He also recommended a chimney liner after showing us that the inside of the chimney was in disrepair. I found his advice and estimate to be credible.

Sol returned our call quickly and set up an appointment, to which he and his assistant arrived early. We found out at the last minute that per our condo regulations, all the chimneys in our tier had to be cleaned at once. Sol was extremely accommodating and did all the additional work within a couple of hours. They kept everything very clean. We found him to be very easy to work with, the cost was comparable with other chimney sweeps we spoke to, and he did a great job! We'll definitely work with him again.
Description of Work: Sol cleaned our chimney and tuckpointed the interior of our fireplace.

They were all friendly and professional, explaining well what they were doing. They estimated that the job would take all day, but were done by the early afternoon. The left the fireplace looking great, and cleaned up perfectly after themselves.
Description of Work: We had a fireplace chimney, on the top floor of a three-story building, that was in very bad repair. They cleaned it out, patched holes, and installed an insulated stainless-steel liner. They also installed a spinning chimney cap, and a smoke guard in the fireplace. They cleaned out and repainted the fireplace, including the metal log holder. They also raised the height of two metal chimneys above the roof, for our water heater and furnace. Finally, they cleaned the lint out of our dryer line.

Sol was prompt, reliable, and easy to work with in inspecting our chimneys and making clear recommendations about what absolutely needed to be done and what could wait or was optional. He seemed entirely trustworthy. The crew he sent to do the actual work did a great job. They didn't complain, and went cheerfully ahead when the second chimney required a whole day's work more than they had originally expected (due to the condition of the old furnace liner), and they did not charge us more than the original estimate, even though this extra labor was required. They cleaned up well and made sure we were completely satisfied before they left the job. Our fireplaces now work wonderfully. We give Sol our highest recommendation.
Description of Work: Install two chimney liners, take out old furnace chimney liner, repair two fireplaces (re-mortar and tuck-point brick lining), fix malfunctioning damper, install two vac-u stack chimney caps.

Sol was fair and thorough. Took about a week to arrange an appointment from the time of our first call, but that's better than the other three Angie's list A-rated companies we called (it's fall, and I guess everyone wants their chimney swept, inspected, and fixed). He patiently explained what was good and bad about our chimneys, recommended fixes. We are in the process of hiring him to do about $3000 more work to put a new liner in the chimney our gas furnace uses, and to repair and improve the two wood-fireplace chimneys. His manner, and the work so far give us confidence that this is a wise move on our part.
Description of Work: Inspected and cleaned three chimneys, cleared bricks and mortar left in flue from chimney repair job earlier this year, tuckpointed bricks in firebox.

Very happy with their work. Were thorough and did a couple small extra jobs when requested for a reasonable fee while on the site.
Description of Work: The company came in and inspected my chimney system. Provided a free estimate for work to be done. After agreeing to the estimate, they came within a 2 week period on the day scheduled and performed a chimney relining, rebuilt the stack and added a heatproof and rainproof cap. Also cleaned the furnace and reinforced connections as needed. All done in one day.
