Description of Work: The big deal was for a gas log fireplace tune-up, cleaning, and inspection from Jiminy Chimney Sweep & Service which included inspecting the fireplace for safe operation, a thorough cleaning of all major parts and a thorough cleaning and re-installation of existing logs on my vent free gas fireplace. | |They were very quick to responds with setting up an appointment and the technician, Joe, was very personable and explained what he would do. I'd been concerned about the odor from the logs and hadn't been using the fireplace. He explained they are not regular gas logs and explained the proper way to burn them - turn on high for 10 or 15 minutes before turning it down to low or medium. I kept it at low or medium, never on high. Since following his advice, there has been no odor and I am very happy to say I am using the fireplace with confidence again. I can't say enough good things about Jiminy Chimney Service!

Description of Work: The technician cleaned my gas fireplace logs, checked the chimney, removed all old materials and added new dressing kit. He explained why my fireplace was smoking and how to light it in the future to prevent problems. If I take the advice of this very nice young man, I should have no problems in the future. Thank you for great service.
