Description of Work: Jim arrived for the appointment and did a great job. He had state of the art equipment, and he showed us pictures of the interior of our chimney. He cleaned the chimney and he made recommendations of how we could improve the performance of the fireplace. Jim and his helper cleaned up after themselves and were careful to keep their workspace clean. Jim showed himself to be an experienced chimney sweep.

I really enjoyed working with both of them. It is wonderful to deal with professionals who don't try to and quot;selland quot; you more but just try to help you to great care of your home. I also thought they did a good job of explaining my options in terms of cost and tradeoffs.
Description of Work: Jim and Ronnie did a great job repair my chimney and installing new caps. I purchased a historic home and that been somewhat neglected. The home inspector found a crack in the crown, torn old wire, and loose flashing. Jim, the owner, corresponded with me via email which I really appreciated because I work in an environment that is not conducive to phone calls. We set up an appointment for two weeks out that fit my schedule well. He emailed me earlier in the day to give an update on their time which was only thirty minutes past the scheduled time. I really appreciated him being so conscientious because I was able to take care of few more tasks at work instead of waiting at the house for them. It is the norm for service people to give windows but Jim really helped me out by giving an exact time. Jim and Ronnie showed up in labeled van (it is actually done in a really attractive wrap) and Jim wore a company shirt. As a female meeting workers by myself I really appreciated their professional presentation. Jim and Ronnie immediately assessed the situation and helped me to prioritize those items which needed to be addressed immediately and also helped me to plan for the future. Since this home was a recent purchase, I am not ready to tackle big projects but I always like to discuss how current repairs will affect the future. My eventual goal is to install gas fireplaces, so Jim created a strategy to instal the caps that will take care of the chimney for this winter with the promise of crediting them back if I need to switch them out in future. Ronnie did a great job fixing the flashing and the crack in the crown molding. He chose a subtle brown that blends well with the house which is important to me because of the historical designation on my home. Jim also gave me a thorough education on gas fireplaces and talked to me about my future needs so I could start to build that in the budget.

Jim Pritchett (owner) and his Associate, Ronnie, came on time, inspected chimney and gave me a written estimate that day. I was impressed by their knowledge, professionalism, and the fact they "talked TO me" as opposed to "DOWN at me", explaining what needed to be done, cost, and even showed me pictures of a similar completed project.On both days of work, they arrived on time, worked hard under extreme weather conditions of full sun and 95 degree temperatures. My roof was protected by carpet-like runners placed on areas on which they would be walking and working. Layers of brick were removed, forms installed, concrete mixed and poured efficiently and professionally. After work the first day, I was totally amazed that not one scrap of concrete, brick or even a drop of water from mixing the concrete was to be found anywhere.Ron and Jim returned a few days later (after concrete set) to remove forms and install chimney cover. These men again worked hard and steady in hot sunny conditions and completed the job to my total satisfaction. Improvement in the outside appearance of chimney was amazing. I would, without hesitation, recommend this company to anyone needing services on their chimney or fireplace and I would personally use Certified Sweeps again.
Description of Work: Chimney sweep and inspection. Remove existing chimney crown and top layers of bricks. Install steel form to top of chimney, pour 4" thick concrete chimney crown. Seal area between clay flue tiles and new crown with 50 yr. silicone caulking. Install 17"x49" Stainless Steel top mounted chimney cover. Restore chimney bricks stained with rust from original chimney cover.

Returned my initial call quickly and arrived the next day to give an estimate. They began the work when promised and were very careful in setting up and removing the equipment (including a hydraulic manlift) to reach the chimney so as not to damage the roof or deck area. They completed the job quickly and at the price quoted. They were able to closely match the existing brick on the chimney and it looks great. I would certainly hire again. Thanks to Jim and his crew.
Description of Work: Chimney was cracked and brick was flaking off. They removed damaged brick veneer from chimney down to the bricks in satisfactory condition. They then lay brick of similar color to original height. A crown was installed at the top which gave an overhang around the perimeter of the chimney forming a drip edge and bond break between the crown and the brick work. The area between the clay flue tiles and new crown were sealed with 50 year silicone caulking. They then installed stainless steel tile mounted chimney covers with mesh protection from animal invasion.

It was great! He was very efficient and left my house just as clean as it was before he came. He cleaned out the fireplace, and recommended a product to seal my chimney crown and bricks to prevent further water damage (which I am having him come back and apply). This all comes at a very reasonable price and great peace of mind. He sat and discussed any questions I had and even talked with my little boy when he asked questions. I would absolutely hire Certified Sweeps again.
Description of Work: Jim performed a thorough inspection of my fireplace and chimney and described his findings to me. He detailed everything on his report, discussed fire safety issues (I have small children), and installed a stainless steel chimney cap.
