They were very responsible and did a lot of work for no charge even though the problem was caused by someone else. They are going to spray another coat of sealant for no charge to make sure it doesn't leak.
Description of Work: Originally they sealed the chimney and installed a four inch gas flue liner. The roofing people did not seal it properly and the roofers tried to blame the chimney people when it was the roofers people fault. They did a lot of work for no cost.

I chose them because their visit fee was the lowest at $65. The person on the phone was also knowledgeable and not at all aggressive (another company I called was going to charge me a gas fee and was pushy). The tech arrived on time and he did a very thorough job of inspection. He identified many issues with my chimney, not surprising that it is an older home. I was not aware how bad it was, since I had owned the house for 5 years and it had come out okay in the inspection, but through the pictures he showed me, it was pretty obvious. He walked me around outside and spent a lot of time answering my questions. He also gave me options about the work being done and also said they were researching some new products that might save me money down the road, depending if I decided I went through all the repairs that needed done. He also gave me some things to keep an eye on and how it could be repaired by a foundation company if it occurred.
Description of Work: I had a broken damper and suggested I might have other problems. Ended up replacing the damper and end cap.

He had to put an exhaust mechanism on the front of the house to clean out the clothes dryer because my other one was not safe. He was able to get this fixed for me. He showed up on time when he said he would. He was very nice, I enjoyed having him out; he was easy to talk with. He cleaned up when they were through. I would use them again and would recommend them.
Description of Work: I had them come out to install a cover over my chimney because the old one had rusted out. I found out that he does dryer vent cleaning as well too, so I had him do this as well.

Joe arrived on time and looked at the chimney to be cleaned. They covered the floor with tarps and set to work and within an hour he had completed the cleaning. They were very neat and the whole experience was pleasant. Joe was very patient in explaining everything that he had found in his inspection of the firebox and chimney inside and out.
Description of Work: Joe and a helper swept our chimney which was pretty dirty. Joe also inspected the firebox and the chimney outside for any damage.

It went very well, the work was done excellently and in a timely fashion. The only quibble I had was with punctuality; the first day we hadn't actually set a specific time other than "first thing in the morning", but it was late enough I called them to see where they were before they arrived; after that no more than maybe 20-30 minutes later than expected.
Description of Work: Removed a badly installed firetrap fireplace, tiled the exposed area, and installed a wood stove.

We recently moved into a home with a gas fireplace. We'd been using it frequently, but it suddenly started giving off a strange odor. I called Your Chimney Sweep to schedule an inspection. They returned my call promptly and were able to send someone within a few days. The serviceman inspected the logs, pan, and chimney flue. Naturally, there was no odor while he was here (!), so a definite cause could not be determined. But, there was a lot of carbon build-up and he suspected that may be the problem. He repositioned the logs for a more proper burn, and there's been no odor since. He recommended that we replace the log set soon, as the logs and the pan were in pretty bad shape.
Description of Work: Visual inspection of gas fireplace and flue; adjustment of log placement.

They were quick to respond to our emails and even offered to do the inspection for free.
Description of Work: We contacted this company to get an estimate for having a fireplace insert put into our fireplace. They gave us a ballpark figure, plus we did some web searches, and realized that fireplace inserts cost more than we'd realized. Reluctantly, we've deferred this project until we're a bit more prosperous.

He removed a piece of plywood that was on top so that he could see in the chimney. It took about 2 weeks to get the pan made, and it was hundreds of dollars less than another company. Joseph was a very polite gentleman.

The first visit was on time for cleaning and inspection. Ron and his helper explained what they would be doing, and then made preparations. They spread a tarp over the carpet before starting, then used a long handled brush and vacuum to clean out all the soot. They were very careful and did not cause any dust or soil the carpet, and were very professional. Ron arrived right on time again for the repair. He did an excellent job, and kept me informed about what he was doing. The chimney is high and difficult to access, due to complex roof angles. He had to set up a special scaffolding and used two ladders to get to the work. He was very pleasant, and answered all my questions. There was one crack that he missed that was hard to see. We did not discover it until the job was completed. Ron came back out and corrected it, even though getting to it was very difficult. I was very pleased job Ron did, and I would recommend them for any chimney work or cleaning.
Description of Work: Ron inspected and cleaned our chimney on the initial visit. The inspection revealed a rusted out damper, and bricks that needed to be replaced, and cracks in the chimney crown. He explained in detail what needed to be done to repair everything and left me information to review. I scheduled the work that needed to be done and Ron returned a few weeks later and performed the work. He replaced about 15 bricks that had crumbled due to moisture "popping", installed a new crown, replaced the damper with a damper/cap combination, and sealed the chimney from moisture.

My first impression was terrific. I explained that I had another appointment that afternoon, and that the work would need to be done by 1:30 p.m. We set an appointment for 12:30. I received a call at 10:00 a.m. from the company indicating that the technician was running an hour behind schedule and would not be at my home until 1:30, if that was a problem, I was to call. I called twice before noon, and again after noon to indicate I could not make a 1:30 appointment. I left a message on the third attempt that I would not reschedule, and referenced Angie's List and that call was finally returned. I asked if we could reschedule after today's final appointment, and was told that would make the day too late for the technician. They cancel end of day appointments when they get so far behind. I was told the chances of getting the work done this year, with a rescheduled appointment were 'slim' due to the lateness of the year, and the weather. I could not be less satisfied.
Description of Work: Had made an appointment to have an estimate for repair work done on a chimney.

YOUR CHIMNEY SWEEP, INC. STRIVES TO STAY ON A SET SCHEDULE AND PROVIDE OUR CLIENTS WITH THE BEST CHIMNEY CARE THAT OUR INDUSTRY HAS TO OFFER. UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ARISE FROM TIME TO TIME, IT CAUSES US TO ALTER OUR SERVICE SCHEDULE. WE SET SPECIFIC TIMES FOR OUR APPOINTMENTS AS A SERVICE TO OUR CUSTOMERS INSTEAD OF A 3-4 HOUR WINDOW THAT IS STANDARD PRACTICE FOR MOST SERVICE COMPANIES, WHEN UNFORESEEN PROBLEMS ARISE, WE CALL OUR CLIENTS ASAP TO LET THEM KNOW WE WILL BE RUNNING BEHIND. AS NOTED IN THE MEMBERS REPORT, SHE WAS CONTACTED TWO HOURS BEFORE HER SCHEDULED TIME. WE WERE UNAVAILABLE TO RETURN HER CALL EARLIER THAN 12:00 AS OUR OFFICE MANAGER LEFT THE OFFICE TO DELIVER ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES TO THE JOB SITE THAT HAD PUT US BEHIND SCHEDULE. (THIS WAS EXPLAINED TO THE MEMBER.) ADDITIONALLY, AS MENTIONED, SHE REQUESTED THAT WE COME OUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE EARLY EVENING AFTER THE SUN SETS, A PROPER CHIMNEY INSPECTION CANNOT BE PERFORMED WHEN IT IS DARK OUTSIDE. THERE IS ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN ACCESSING AN UNKNOWN ROOF FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE DARK. FOR THESE REASONS, WE SOMETIMES HAVE TO RESCHEDULE LATE APPOINTMENTS TO A DIFFERENT DAY, MOST HOMEOWNERS ARE COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDING OF THESE CIRCUMSTANCES AND DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH RESCHEDULING. WE APOLOGIZED TO THIS MEMBER FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE AND TRIED TO RESCHEDULE AT OUR EARLIEST POSSIBLE TIME, SHE DID NOT WANT TO RESCHEDULE WITH US.

It went fabulously! Ron came out and looked at the chimney and fireplace. It was a bigger job than we were hoping for, but the whole thing went very smoothly. Ron was very professional and I was comfortable to have him in our home. He explained everything to me very clearly. We scheduled the work, and they called first thing in the morning to tell me they had to cancel on a rainy day. We rescheduled, and he was here on time and worked very efficiently and quickly. It started to rain, so he didn't get the flashing done, but he's coming back to finish up this week. He showed us how to operate the new damper and answered all of our questions. Really great to work with!
Description of Work: They installed a chimney cap over both our openings at the top of our chimney, did masonry work to fix top and attach cap. Removed old damper and installed cap with built in damper. They also installed Terra Cotta tiles on the top 40 inches of the inside of our chimney and replaced the flashing around the chimney at the roof.
