Sols Chimney Sweep

John returned my calls quickly, kept his appointments for the quotes. The performance of the work was accommodating and professional on every step of the way. I would recommend SOL'S CHIMNEY SWEEP INC to others and would definitely use them again.

A great experience. We were having steam enter our house and damage drywall because the chimney was unlined. Sol's Chimney responded super quickly and were very educational and frank about our choices. They scheduled the work the next week, and after half a day, and much removed debris, our chimney is working well. They were very professional, and even offered to replace a broken valve on our water heater for a nominal fee after the crew smelled gas in the basement. Highly recommended.

The chimney cleaning was done, and the price was as quoted. However, he left information regarding his impression of our chimneys as he left which included changing the lining out (apparently it was so deteriorated that, he claimed, we were at risk of burning our house down) and caps quoted as nearly $2500. I had two different companies come after him to give quotes for new liners. The first was another Angie's list chimney company that took pictures and showed me a pristine chimney lining (not to mention a dirty chimney in some spots, so not sure about the completeness of the cleaning). In fact, the cement caps on top were not removable and thus one couldn't actually evaluate the top of the lining appropriately. This company stated that the lining was fine, and didn't even quote a price to put in a new lining. Then, I met someone at a local potluck who does chimneys and came over as a favor to offer an opinion and agreed that the lining was just fine, as were the caps. DON'T USE SOL'S CHIMNEYS! At least don't trust his impressions of the status of your chimney.

They were very courteous and very informative. I called them because I thought there was a gas leak and that it needed a good cleaning. It was assembled wrongly and was burning against the logs, which is why I got a smell. They reassembled and made it better. They made sure that the whole area was clean around it. It's been perfect ever since. There were reasonably priced. The original price was $130 and they took $45 off for the Angie's List discount which brought the price to $85. I would definitely hire them again because I would need their service in another house. The house that I'm looking at buying has wood-burning fireplaces. I want them to take a look at it and clean out the chimney stacks and everything.

Sol & Greg were great. I had lots of questions, and had several conversations regarding the installation of the gas line. After talking to my plumber, I asked specific questions which Greg was able to answer appropriately. This made me confident that he knew what he was doing. Both Sol & Greg were prompt in returning calls and at appointments. The installation was neat and clean. Workers were friendly and helpful in explaining how the logs worked, where the shutoff valve was and how to clean the fireplace.

They did a wonderful job and we liked them very much. We've used them before and they do a great job. The price seemed reasonable and I was pleased that it wasn't more than it was. They were a lot of help. They were there when they said they would be and they did the job they said they would do. There were not any problems or hang-ups. They were not rude and there was no trouble. I didn?t compare prices. We were having some trouble with our dryer and Sol told us it was because we hadn't had our vents cleaned the first time he worked for us. He said that we needed to have the vents cleaned at least once every two years and I told him that we would have it done every year and he said that was even better. That's what we do and our dryer works better. We will use them in the future.

Solomon came 30 minutes ahead of schedule. He was very courteous, professional, and explained everything in detail.

We were very very pleased with the service provided. The company sent two people. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and very professional. They arrived well after the appointment time but called to let us know and make sure we were available. We highly highly recommend them based on our experience

Originally, we had called Sol's for a quote for work on our fireplace with gas logs; before we knew it they were doing a thorough cleaning of our fireplace and did a fantastic job, but since there was a misunderstanding as to expectations, he only charged us for a simple cleaning; our fireplace has never looked so good and my wife said they were very nice about the whole job. Other companies had quoted us for much more extensive work, but Sol's got everything cleaned and working well with joint repairs to the firebrick which we knew about. Other companies quoted close to a $1000 for repairs which I don' think we needed and Sol's confirmed that. It is so nice to find a reputable service company! Thanks guys.

Sol's was easy and pleasant to work with. Setting up an appointment was easy, they could come within 5 days, explaining usually they responded faster but it was holiday season and they were very busy. They called to arrange to arrive earlier than booked. They worked neatly, quickly and quietly, leaving no mess. They found a hole in the fireplace liner and gave me a quote on a new liner, sealing and tuckpointing. We are getting more quotes for comparison.

Furnace kept going off after inspection by HVAC company-who said maybe something wrong with chimney cap. Called Chimney sweep who came out the day after we called them..cleared obstruction and noted other problems Came out 10 days later and did work..also discovering other problems. All very straightforward..almost apologetic about finding other problems...but apparently the result of neglect over a two decade period...

Arrived on time. Cleaned up. Polite and prompt.

They called 2 hours before their appointment to let me know they were ahead of schedule and could come an hour early if that was convenient for me. They arrived on time and did a great job.

I had several companies quote on the major repairs that were needed on our chimney and fireplace. Sol's Chimney was the only company that didn't try to sell us more than we needed. Sol, his brother, Greg, and their employees are experts--very knowledgeable and skilled in chimney repair and refurbishing. Where all the other companies tried to sell a repair solution that cost twice as much and would require an expensive exhaust fan, Sol's repaired our chimney with the correct size liner so no fan is needed. They worked for two days and were very professional, clean, and finished early! Greg brought with him a very hard-working, polite and skilled crew that went above and beyond what we expected. We will finally be able to enjoy our fireplace this Christmas--and because of the fair price we received from Sol's, Santa's bag won't be empty! Thanks, Angie's List for letting us know about this great local company.

They were really great. Incredibly responsive, answered all my questions, very professional. They called the day prior to and morning of the work to let me know when they would be here. Not a lot to say because it all went very smoothly. Price breakdown is: $375 to remove old liner, $875 for new aluminum liner w/ 15 yr warranty (we decided not to go with stainless steel because of cost even though it lasts a lifetime; if we're in this house for our lifetime I've got other things to worry about besides the fireplace liner), $275 for the tuck pointing, $75 for the dryer vent and they included the fireplace cleaning for free. Lastly, what I really liked about them is there was no "fear" selling. No talk about carbon monoxide, no your house is going to fall apart and burn to the ground if you don't do x, y and z. They told me what needed to be done, they weren't dramatic about it and they fixed the problems.

Repairs were not as extensive as I was lead to believe by another company and it cost half as much.

Sol's was great -- we called in a panic on a Tuesday afternoon because the furnace guy came and had to turn our furnace and water heater off when he saw our blocked chimney, and Sol's was able to come by Wednesday afternoon. (After several calls to other vendors, we realized that they were all very nice folks but the first week of October is a terrible time to try to get a chimney sweep on short notice.) A two-man crew from Sol's called about a half hour before they arrived -- when they got here, they got straight to work. They diagnosed the problem (massive amounts of crap in our chimney) and cleared it out pretty quickly. Then they went up the side of the house to figure out how it happened. Turns out our chimney cap had either been chewed through or sawed through -- apparently it is not unheard of for some other less scrupulous chimney companies to widen holes in chimney caps, causing problems that you have to bring the original company back to fix. It sure looks like a clean edge on the hole in question when compared to the chew marks on other parts of the chimney cap. But whatever -- that was some other company hired long before we bought the place. Anyhow, Sol's guys spent two hours getting everything cleared out and replaced and then stuck around for a bit while our furnace blower dried out. Their price was very competitive with estimates we got from a couple other companies who couldn't come as quickly, and the guys were very thorough. We'd call them again in a heartbeat (hopefully it won't be necessary for a long while, but we now have their card on our fridge).

Excellent . they arrived on time and completed the work quickly . in cleaning the fireplace , they made sure they did not let debris into the house . they were very clean and neat.

Sol himself came out the week prior to servicing my fireplace to have a look at the cracked wall. He came on Labor Day morning even though he hadn't scheduled any appointments for the day. He gave a thorough inspection, gave me an estimate, and didn't charge me for his visit. His crew came the following Saturday on time, performed the service efficiently, were very nice, and the final price came in $20 less than I had anticipated. They were professional.

They were recommended to me by a friend. They did a great job. I later learned that other friends were also satisfied with their work.

Great, would get them again in a heart beat.

We had used their services in the past too. I was more than happy with the work done. The guy who came out was timely, polite and the price was fair. They were willing to get the work done in cold weather. The price wasn?t great but what we were buying was expensive.

During the initial contact, the owner/estimator gave explicit details as to what he needed to do, why and how to best do the repairs. On the appointed day, he again came with (2) more workers to supervise and complete the work. They all were efficient and cleaned the work area after they finished.

Everything went well. He spent a great deal of time cleaning the chimney. It was a very messy job, but he ensured that nothing got dirty.

Sol's were punctual and professional. They gave me an estimate which the price seemed in line with other companies. My only hestitations about them is that they did not actually get up on the roof to inspect the chimney and they were intent on rebuilding with cement blocks instead of brick. They did say that if "surprises came up" that the price would not change, so perhaps that is why they were comfortable not doing an inspection.
