A message was left on the customer's home voice mail. We have since spoke to the customer and the work is scheduled in the Spring. We apologize for the lapse in communication. We appreciate your feedback!

He was extremely knowledgeable. He was able to look at both our chimneys as we had two fireplaces. He told us its status and what we should look for in the future. He also reassured us about the interior of the chimneys.

chimney sweep

We just moved into a new home, and we thought that we should have the chimney cleaned before using it. Much to our surprise, the gentleman inspecting the chimney said it was unsafe to use. He admitted up front that he could try to sell us something to correct the problem, but he adamantly told us that if it were his fireplace he would not use it. While we have not used the fireplace, I will contact Scully's--a business which installs fireplaces--to see if there is any chance for a repair. I can't just accept it can't be repaired, but I was grateful for his frank advice. Who knows what catastrophe we might have avoided.

Upon inspection, the sweep noted 2 rows of loose masonry in the fire box. He let me know immediately, as he was concerned that the cleaning might dislodge the masonry. I gave him the go-ahead to clean, figuring that it needed repaired one way or another. He completed the cleaning without incident, showed me the loose masonry, and advised us not burn a hot fire until the firebox until it was repaired. He also re-grouted the floor of the firebox, at no additional charge.

Totally dissatisfied, I have wasted 3 weeks in which another company could have been doing the work.
Description of Work: Could not even get them to come for the estimate. After two aborted appts.(canceled by them at the last minute) I gave up trusting them to show up to give me an estimate. I waited two weeks for the first appt. The office called about 1 hr before they were to be there and said they were tied up on a job and needed to reschedule. I can understand this so I agreed to another appt. a week away. They had nothing available sooner. The second time, I was left a message 1/2 hr. before the appt. saying I had been put in the wrong pile and they didn't have an estimator available- I could be resceduled later in the week. Am I supposed to believe they would show up to do the work?

Response from Ely Stokes Inc. Chimney, Fireplace & Masonry
We are extremely apologetic for this inconvenience to the customer. We tried to reschedule her the following day, but understand her concern. With all of the rain we have had the past month and a half, we have had some scheduling delays. We are a small company with a very large client base. Again, we are sorry for the trouble we had caused, and can assure we would have arrived to provide the free estimate, along with a fair and reasonable quote.

The contact person was friendly and professional. We received an estimate promptly after requesting it, which seemed very reasonable for the work to be done. The workers arrived as scheduled and were very courteous and professional, as well. The chimney looks great; they were able to match the brick better than we thought they would since the house was built in the early 1970's, and the brick is a yellow-buff color. The clean-up was thorough-- nothing left behind on the roof or ground. A few weeks later, the chimney cap blew off in a high wind condition, and the original workers came out and replaced it at no charge. They even seemed glad to do it, and remarked favorably on our new roofing job. I would recommend Ely Stokes to anyone needing chimney work of any kind. The cost was less than we expected and the work was excellent. I neglected to include the fact that the work was in January, and the weather was cold; it had to be pretty uncomfortable on the roof!
Description of Work: Removed old chimney and rebuilt brick chimney from roof up.

The work went well. The rep was clean himself and in uniform. He carefully spread protection over the gas logs in the fireplace as well as on the floor in front of the fireplace. He used a vacuum and a snake brush up inside the chimney. There was hardly no mess or debris. What there was was carefully cleaned up. He inspected the fireplace and flue and made sure that the gas logs worked. The work is guaranteed for one year.
Description of Work: We were selling our house and the buyer's inspector claimed the flu in our fireplace needed cleaning. Ely Stokes gave me a reasonable estimate and stated that they do not charge if the fireplace was in fact clean and did not need the service. Their rep showed up within the time window promised. Inspected the flue and fireplace and said it was not very dirty. I decided to go ahead with it anyway. Since it was not that dirty they did not charge the whole price.

They were excellent. They managed to squeeze me into their busy schedule during the Christmas season. They fit me in to a cancellation. They were clean, left no mess, inspected the fireplace, did not pressure me with any unnecessary up selling and they did a good job.

The two guys that came were SUPER! They let me know what the problem was and also gave advice on other chimney issues that I have been dealing with for 5 years. They inspected the fireplace and chimney. No charge since it was just an inspection, but they went above and beyond in assessing the situation. Very professional, courteous, and cleaned up after themselves.
