Arrived on time & was very professional and friendly. They even taught me a couple of things I didn't know about my fireplace. Ran runners to keep my carpet clean, and didn't leave a single spot of ash. They did a great job! I definitely recommend.

chimney sweep, chimney caps
 + 0 more
I originally called them to sweep the chimney because swifts had nested over the summer, as well as wanting to purchase a chimney cap. They called about an hour and a half early and stated they were running ahead of schedule and gave me the option of them coming earlier than their scheduled appt, which I was happy to have them do. While they were looking at the chimney, I explained that a previous chimney sweep had recommended some other services and asked Joe what his thoughts were. Joe inspected my damper and informed me that while it was old and rusty, it still was operable. Joe provided me with an ash dump door since I didn't have one. Joe also got on the roof to inspect the flues and the crown to look for cracks. He explained my options for dampers and chimney caps. We discussed the pros and cons of two individual caps for the chimney and furnace flue versus a dual cap. He then gave me estimates on a new damper and chimney cap, This estimate was well under what I had expected to pay, so I decided to go ahead with replacing the damper and installing a dual chimney cap that day. Joe reassured me that he had the time to do this work since he was ahead of schedule. They completed the work efficiently and were considerate of putting down tarps to protect my floors and carpet. When they were finished, Joe reviewed with me the work they did and the things they found. He showed me how to operate the new damper and informed me that he filled in the cracks on the crown with silicone (at no charge). Joe gave me a brochure about heat reflector shields, should I ever decide to purchase one. Joe also showed me where my fireplace screen and doors weren't in the best condition but were still operable. He discussed with me the different options for replacement if I should ever decide to do so. Joe and Jake did a great job, they were polite and informative, and I was thrilled that the cost was about $500 less than what I had expected it to be. I would highly recommend their services to anyone! And I will definitely use them again in the future for all my chimney-related needs!
Description of Work: My chimney was inspected and cleaned. I had my old damper removed and a new one installed. They capped my chimney and furnace flue with a dual cap. They also filled in cracks on top of the crown with silicone.
They followed their proposal, did the work and now the chimney works and looks great.
Description of Work: Diagnosed issues with chimney. Chimney needed a minor cleaning and safety check. I was also concerned about the spalling of the external chimney brick. They disassembled the top 1/3 of the chimney and rebuilt with a matching brick. To prevent further spalling, they sprayed the external brick with an anti-wetting agent.
The technician arrived on time and in uniform. I was a bit concerned about the process makeing a mess, but he laid out drop cloths from my door al the way to the fireplace. He was here for abotu an hour and completed all repairs and cleaning in that time. He did a great job, I was very happy and would use them again and highly recommend them
Description of Work: I called them because my chiminey had never been swept and there was a crack in the back of the fireplace. They came out and cleaned the chiminey, replaced the back wall and grate. They also found that at some point I'd had a chiminey fire, but after inspection determined that everything was OK. Joe was very helpful and explained everything he was doing. He also suggested purchasing a reflecor for the back of the fireplace, to both reflect more heat back into the room and to protect the back wall from damage.

This company has cleaned our fireplace and chimney several times in the past and they always do a fantastic job. When I called to schedule the appointment I received prompt, friendly service and was able to be scheduled the very next week. Joseph and Bryon arrived on time and got right to work. They were both professional, very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. The job was completed to our satisfaction and they even scheduled an appointment for next September, which lets us cross one more thing off our To Do list. We highly recommend Your Chimney Sweep.

We originally had requested to have our chimney cleaned. Upon cleaning, they noticed there appeared to be significant damage in the flue from a prior chimney fire. A video scan confirmed the extent of the damage. Joe prepared a very thorough report documenting the damage to assist in filing the insurance claim. Once the repairs were approved, his crew responded within a few weeks and handled the repair. As so often happens, they ran into several unexpected challenges, but handled them all well. They explained what they ran into and how they handled the changes, along with the details of how the repair was handled. Joe and his crew were very professional and did a fine job. I'd definitely recommend them.

He was very good! He is very personable and knew what he was doing.
Description of Work: He installed panned/chased cover on my chimney. He put-in a new dryer vent as well.
I called them to clean my 2 chimneys and they discovered a dead duck. I thought I had smelled something for a short while, but did not realize there was a dead duck in the chimney. They only charged me about $10.00 extra to remove it. They installed chimney caps also.

In our garage I noticed the ceiling was wet around the perimiter of furnace chimney. Upon inspecting the attic, water was dripping from the boards around the chimney. I contacted four companies for estmates ( a mason contractor and 3 companies with Chimney in their name). The mason company (Smith & Smith Mason Contractors) inspected the chimney and said the chimney needed replaced at a cost estimate of approx. $3800 . The other three companies all diagnosed the problem as a cracked flue liner resulting in condnesation from the warm air/cold air contact. Their estimates for repair were fairly close to one another. Your Chimney Sweep was priced between the other two companies. I chose to go with this company based upon their excellent Angie's List rating and how knowledgeable Joe Sauter seemed. I decide to have a chimney cap added as well as new liner installed. It's been almost a year and I haven't had any more problems with the chimney - even with all the recent ice & snow. I"m very please and would definitely consider Your Chimney Sweep for any future chimney problems I might encounter.
Description of Work: Installed a new chimney liner and added a cap.
Vendor kept us informed through every step and what the pricing would be as the process continued. Cleaned site, polite and professional
Description of Work: Cleaned chimney, performed safety check, diagnosed spalling issue. Developed plan for repair and estimates.

I don't know any thing about cleaning a chimney, but Jo covered a path from the fireplace to the back door. He had a huge sweeper that pulled all the dirt from the fireplace keeping it out of the house. He was able to free up the damper, but the opener was beyond repair. His suggestion was to take out the existing damper and replace our rusting chimney cap with a stainless steel one that had a damper in it that could be opened and shut with a chain that would be inside the fireplace. We also had a big discussion about the vent free/less gas logs. He said their company does not recommend them because the by products of the combustion comes into the room. Vent free/less gas logs adds moisture to the home. There is a smell. They do produce more heat, but on the warnings of the vent free logs they say leave a window partially open which defeats the heat coming into the room. He said they are not good if anyone in the household has breathing problems. He suggested if we just want to look at a fire the regular vented logs look more real and are safer. From what I know I thought he did a very good job. There was no mess at all in the house. He seemed very knowledgeable about the fireplace and gas logs. I would hire him again. With the information Jo gave me we have decided to go with regular gas logs instead of vent free/less.
Description of Work: We were considering purchasing vent free logs and wanted someone to come and clean/service our wood fireplace and discuss the pro's and con's of the vent free logs. Our damper had been frozen for years and wanted to know what could be done with that or if it was fixable. Jo inspected and cleaned the chimney. We had a discussion about the vent free logs.

He was an hour early, which surprised me. It would have been nice if he had called to see if it was OK to come early, but as it turned out, I was home anyway. Despite that, he was quite friendly and careful to put down sheets to protect my carpets. He laughed at my hissing cat and was nice to my toddler. He took the time to answer some questions that my husband had about a downdraft problem. He was in and out in an hour. I was glad to have a nice experience with a new company and they confirmed today why they have so many service awards with Angie's List!
Description of Work: We hired them to come and sweep our chimney. We have lived in our home for almost 7 years and have never had our chimney cleaned. We decided it was time!

The men arrived and were pleasant and knowledgable. I asked alot of questions and they knew the answers without hesitation. They were thorough with inspections, they knew what would pass inspections and what needed to be changed. They also reccomended certain items but were not pushy. They were neat and clean (my carpet is almost white) and I appreciate that. They were very efficient with their time and were thougthful to clean doorhandles etc that may have gotten soot on them, overall good experience.

The work on the chimney was very good. It looks like a new chimney. When the gentleman who repaired the chimney was finished, there was a dead spot of grass in the yard.
Description of Work: They repaired my chimney. They pointed it, installed a new vent cap over the chimney and waterproofed it. The owner came out an fixed it himself. I also needed a dryer flue to go through the ceiling and thought the roof itself and the owner did that while the other man was working on the chimney.
