He seems to really know what he is doing and has a knowledge of the business. One time he broke our back step and came back within a day and repaired it perfectly.

The lower grades Jeff (owner) has received surprise me. Chimney Dr was the fourth of four bids we were going to get on fixing our leak. Three of four companies all "found" different leaks, and the last company just estimated EVERYTHING. High estimate was $3,000.00 including a separate interior drywall repair estimate we were not asking for .... but that guy didn't have a ladder tall enough to get to the roof, anyway. Jeff was the only person to actually water-leak test to confirm the source(s) of the leak(s). He showed up on time for his first visit, phoned that he was running a bit late for his second visit (he was actually working on one of my neighbors chimney, who is also completely satisfied with Jeff's work) and then phoned ahead three days later once he had the parts needed to complete the repair. Our chimney was fixed that same morning. Since then, we have had two very hard rain storms the last two days, and not a drop of rain inside. I will say that Jeff is a very busy man working long hours, and appears to be a one-man operation. We could have spent over $1,000.00 on repairs that would not have stopped our leak at all, or paid far more for the same plus 'other needed work'. The fact is, we only had one leak; not two or three. And if we hadn't called The Chimney Doctor, we would have just burned cash. Thanks again for all your help and GREAT service, Jeff!
Description of Work: Chimney or roof leak damaging second floor ceiling/wall, trickling out of first floor fireplace and puddling in basement.

Jeff came out on a Tuesday, measured for a new cap and called me with a price. We agreed on the price and he even dropped off the cap at my house on Thursday so I could paint it the same color as my house (he paints them black typically). He returned the next day in the snow and installed the cap. Very nice job and a great experience!

He was very kind, knowledgeable and neat about his work. I highly recommend him for chimney services.
Description of Work: I hired him to work on one of my chimneys at a property I own. I was given an estimate for work at $685, compared to another estimate I'd received for $5000. The Chimney Doctor did an excellent job and advised that the other estimate I'd received was for fluff work I did not need. He was great.

A call for service was placed on a Friday and I had a new cap by Tuesday. Because of the bad leak, I needed service quickly so I had no time to get other estimates. The price seemed high, but I had no way to know. It took an hour to install and, it was custom made.
Description of Work: My old chimney cap had rusted out and was leaking badly. A new chimney cap was made and installed.

I feel "Jeff" knew he would have to correct his problem, and this was the reason for no response. The company I had out called his work "unapproved modification".
Description of Work: Company had been out for repair last year. Needed repair checked because I was having a problem. He returned my call, and we set a day for return. He did not show. Called twice after to get an appointment, but he did not return my call. I have since had another company out to correct his work. It cost me $120.00 to do so.

He gave me a better price than others, and the work was great. He called ahead when he couldn't make it out because of weather, and he said he'd call when he got here, which he did. He put up plastic to protect the area from rain, and he cleaned up well. I would recommend him to anybody.

I've given up on Jeff. He did wonderful work in 2004 & was very responsive. I've made several attempts, as well as my neighbors, to get him out to assess chimneys & give estimates. He returned one call early on -- I've been unable to reach him since despite several attempts. I gave him the benefit of the doubt since it was the busy season, but after awhile not hearing a word from him is a message in itself.
Description of Work: Tried to get an estimate on chimney repair of a rental, plus refer Jeff some business by neighbors needing work.
