We were able to get an appointment right away. He showed up on time and did a thorough job. What impressed me was he asked and answered questions and pointed out a couple cracks we had in the fireplace walls. He also gave us suggestions about what we can do to help prevent creosote buildup and chimney fires. Very friendly too and excellent pricing because we are members of Angie's List. We will definitely be calling on him again for our annual cleanings.

Description of Work: Bill came out on time as per scheduled date. He proceeded to clean the chimney and then inspect the chimney. He said that we had some issues about the tuckpointing and chimney liner but said that due to the age of the house that the codes were grandfathered in and we didn't have to worry about his recommendations.ALL in ALL good fair service. Very clean and thorough.

When I called for an estimate for my chimney; Bill Reed came out to my house on my schedule (Saturday morning) cleaned my chimney and went on the roof to inspect the mortor, brick, etc. Bill was extremly pleasant and explained to me in detail what needed to be repaired - as well as adding a cap and screen so we won't get wild birds through the fireplace. I accepted his offer, found it to be VERY resonable compared to other companies.Bill showed up as scheduled and called to let me know he's leaving to rent a different ladder so he doesn't do any damage to my new gutters and roof, I was very impressed with that as well. I don't do heights, so Bill was kind enough to take before and pictures for me, and the work is BEAUTIFUL. I will call Affordable Advantage again... Thank you Bill

Bill was great - very professional and knew his stuff. He looked at my vintage gas fireplace, identified the gas line leading to it (including finding some framed in 'lost space' in my house which I am going to turn in to a closet!!) and lit the fireplace, showed me how to use all the controls. He was very nice and professional - I would reccomend him for any fireplace related service that you need. He saved me several thousand dollars in heating bills and charge me only a $50 inspection fee. Quite Affordable! :)
Description of Work: I have a vintage gas fireplace in my home that I had moved in to the year previousm but had never worked. I called Affordable Advantage Chimney Service to see if he could help me figure out how to turn it on/light it.

I chose Affordable Advantage because the over the phone cost was lower than the competition and he was able to come to my home on the day I needed. However, once they got to my house and did the chimney sweep, he got on my roof and told me that the chimney cap was coming off and needed to be sealed. For and additional $45 he could seal the cap. It took about 3 minutes and it was just caulk for the seal. I feel like it was a bait and switch operation going on there. $45 for three minutes of work is ridiculous. Who knows if the cap was really coming off.

Response from Affordable Advantage Chimney Service
Thiscustomerscollar ring (pre-fab chimney) was not properly sealed,water was entering roof. The fireplace cleaning was completed and during the visual inspection of the system the problem was noticed, the customer was alerted to the problem and the cost to resolve,after customers approval of repairs the seal was repaired/replaced (to industry standards) using materials that will last many years too come,at an affordable price below industry standard rates.
