Chimney Sweeps of America LTD

Description of Work: We hadn't had our chimney swept for several years, and chose Chimney Sweeps of America after reading their glowing recommendations on Angie's List. The two men arrived about 20 minutes late (the only hitch in the whole experience) and spent about 30 minutes at our house.

Description of Work: Chimney Sweeps cleaned the chimney and fireplace wood stove outsert. They inspected the chimney and chimney cap.

Description of Work: CWA installed a new stainless flue liner to replace the cracked masonry original, which had been subject to a flue fire, and installed a new chimney-cap flue.

Description of Work: Clean, inspect, and repair chimney.

Description of Work: The lining of my chimney was replaced.

Description of Work: Our fireplace insert had rusted out due to water damage from a leaky cap. CSA came to our home, took pictures of the damage and explained the process necessary to repair the chimney. Tim Smith, owner, provided us with an estimate and alternatives for fireplace insert replacements. They had to remove the brick from the outside of the chimney to remove the firebox and clear everything out. Tim explained how the fireplace had been inadequately insulated and corrected the problem. The new insert was installed and was in working order for us to enjoy before the holidays. The brick replacement had to wait for warmer, drier weather and was completed in March 2011. We expected more of a noticeable area on the brick where it had been replaced, but Tim did an excellent job of replacing the bricks and mortar with very little noticeability. Due to the design of the firebox floor, we suffered some cracks. Tim returned, replaced the floor and modified the design to prevent further cracking at no extra charge. He also added a stainless steel backing to protect the back of the firebox from cracking.

Description of Work: Chimney fire two days after he ' worked ' on the chimney. Tim Smith installed a wood stove for us last year. He did a good job at a fair (but a little high) price about $2,000 - but the pipes were not in the easiest location. Tim was on time and cleaned up everything. In February, I called Tim back because the screen on the cap was clogging up after just a few months of use and the cap and pipes needed cleaning. Very slow to respond by phone (several days) and came out looked at it and agreed to come back the next week with to clean the pipes and replace the screen. Did not show up or call all week. So I called him back and had to leave a message that if he did not want to do the work no problem I would call someone else. I had another sweep stop by look at it and schedule a cleaning and screen replacement. The next day when I got home from work I noticed that the screen had been cleaned and all the junk from the cap was left on the driveway and the black pipes were all marked up. Looked like someone had taken channel-locks to them - just a mess to clean up. My wife was home all day and never heard him working. I never heard from him so I assumed that he had cleaned the pipes and screen or at least checked them. Two days later the inside of the pipe catches fire - sounds like a train - and at the bottom of the pipes the temp (outside of the pipe) got to 930 degrees. the pipes in that area were glowing red.We shut everything down and the chimney fire burned out. Luckly no damage. The other chimney sweep came out and cleaned a bunch of junk out of the pipes and left no mess for me to clean up. When I called Tim Smith he told me he had not cleaned the pipes (no kidding) and did not offer any explaination why not or even why he didn't even check the pipe since the cap was all junked up or why he left a mess for me to clean up. He never did send a bill for cleaning the cap.

Description of Work: Mike from CSA swept and cleaned the stainless steel liner in my Chimney and then cleaned the transition piece from my chimney to my fireplace insert. He also did a great job cleaning the insert itself. We had a significant creosote buildup and he worked very hard to clean it. He also was very helpful with suggestions as to how to keep the creosote from building up in the future.

Description of Work: The worker cleaned two chimneys and inspected two others and determined that they did not require cleaning. The workman was knowledgeable, courteous and very helpful. I asked him to get an estimate for further work from his company and later received a written estimate for the work from the company. I have not yet decided whether or not to have the work done. I would like to get a few more estimates before I select a company to do the work. I was very pleased both with the work and the information I received from this company.

Description of Work: A leak around our chimney resulted in water leaking out of the living room ceiling. We have Chimney Sweeps of American every year for a check of our wood stove insert/chimney before we have our first fire of the season. We hadn't had them out yet, but called on an emergency basis because of the leak. They came out soon after calling them, told us the range of possible causes and checked the chimney/flashing/cap, etc. They not only cleaned the chimney but they waterproofed the entire stone chimney, repaired the cap, and the price was very reasonable. We are very pleased with their services and will continue to use them.
