Beck's Chimney Sweep

Carmen was very friendly and professional in booking our appt. Dave came called me and said he could come a little earlier than our appt. time and I said sure!! How nice for a contractor to be early and call to make sure it was ok to come!! Dave did a great job and was very thorough in cleaning the chimney! I asked him whether we needed this sealant on our chimneys that had been recommended to us, and he told me they were ok at the present time without the sealant. He was very honest even though he didn't get to make the extra money by putting on a sealant. How refreshing!! Our experience was great and we will use him again in the future and would recommend Beck's to everyone!

They were prompt and courteous and when they cleaned the fireplace and chimney, they were very neat and tidy. I would recommend them to anyone looking for this service.

He did a very good job. He was timely, pleasant and followed up well. He gave me good advice and I was happy with him.

They were very prompt, professional and took care of the problem.

good service. I will use them again.

Have used Beck's for the past 7 years or so. Always happy with the service.

Dave was great, very professional, on time and informative. We will hire them again.

Things went pretty good, but we have not used it since then due to economic reasons.

The technician was 30 minutes early! I wasn't expecting him so early and I was in the shower! That was embarrassing! Originally, we contacted Hanlon's Fireplace Supply (upon recommendation from O'Malia's Fireplace) to purchase the fireplace firebox panel. They quoted $110 for the panel and $20 for shipping and it would take four weeks. After seven, we cancelled the order and called Beck's. The receptionist said that a panel could be made and it would cost between $200 and $300 for dissassembly, cutting the panel to fit, and installation. Since we were preparing for installation of a prefabricated panel, my husband had already taken apart the firebox. I told the receptionist this, and asked if there would be any price difference. She said to ask the technician about it. The technician cut the panel and installed it with some screws. He was polite and professional in getting the job done. The bill was $225 for a 'brick' looking panel made out of some type of treated cement. I thought it was expensive, especially since 1/3 of the job was done for him. The technician claimed that since most of the companies that made these panels went broke, Beck's had to get them from Denmark. I think they are overpriced, but since you can't get the parts from O'Malia's or a fireplace supply company, you are stuck paying a high price. (My husband replaced the very same panel in our last home for $40.) Before having the technician do the actual job, get the invoice ahead of time. I didn't and wished that I had.

They were prompt to schedule the appointment. The technician was friendly, courteous and very efficient. Did an excellent job. Cleaned up very well. Exceeded our expectations.

I was remodeling a fireplace surround and needed help with redirecting the vent. 3 sections needed to be re-arranged. I called and the people were polite and nice. I was scheduled several days out to have them come take a look. I always have a problem with getting charged a service fee to come out and do an estimate as these guys do. The guy who came to the house was on time and a nice guy also he spent some time answering some basic questions for me. The reason I didn't have an service done was that apparently my job was either to small or not interesting enough for them. He tried to make the job seem too big but in reality it was just a change in the way the existing pieces were arranged. I was referred to another place. I was not charged but it was a waste of time. I eventually just did the job myself though I was willing to pay to have it done by a professional.

Great service. Exceptionally conscientious about clean-up. On-time, offered business card at door prior to asking to come in, which was greatly appreciated. Friendly, gave me tips on how often to have swept, things to look out for, etc. Would definitely use again and recommend.

We use a wood stove fireplace insert to supplement our gas heat daily, all winter. We've used Beck's for over 10 years, at two different houses, to keep the chimney clean & safe. They're responsive (returning messages the same day) and usually can set up a non-emergency appointment within a week. They do an excellent job every year, and include other maintenance advice and tasks when appropriate, for which I trust them completely.

Arrived on time. Put down floor covering. Promptly cleaned the chimney and repaired the damaged flue. Friendly, efficient, professional.

He arrived a few minutes early, put down carpet covering. Did the job very efficiently and cleanly in forty-five minutes or less. (Single story house.) Price is $152.00, but Angie's List mentioned they gave a 10% Senior discount. Still seems a little high, but very professional, friendly. Would use again since he is close and efficient.

This is the third time we have had service from them. They are always reliable. They are also going to repair our bricks on our chimney at a later date, dependent on weather conditions. We would definitely hire agian in future!

He had a special camera to run up the chimney flu and down to the ash flue and was able to discover a large crack and made those repairs.

They did an excellent job. They were professional and pleasant people to work with. They were also punctual. I would recommend this company to anyone.

Beck's was able to schedule my appointment within a week. This was more than acceptable considering it was their busy season and it was during the holidays. Beck's confirmed the appointment via phone a few days before. Dave Clift called when he was thirty minutes out from my home. It was raining/snowing that day. Before Dave took one step in my home, he laid down a towel to step on. He then took of his shoes before continuing his work. He laid down a cover in front of the fireplace and was very careful not to get any mess anywhere in the house. The job took about 45 minutes. It is refreshing to work with a company who is considerate of other's property and who truly desires to exceed expectations.

Showed up when expected and did a first rate job. Also explained to us how the ceiling fan in our fireplace room could be the reason behind the smoke we were experiencing. AND advised that we didn't have to have the chimney cleaned every year given how infrequently we use it. I do wish however that they had a lower price for a one story house given that there's less to clean and less climbing involved which translates to less time and time is money as they say. I'll definitely call them again in a couple of years (but I'll ask for a 1-story discount).

It went very well. This is the 3rd time I've used this company, and will continue to use them in the future. Dave was very knowledgeable about fireplace safety, made some recommendations, and answered my questions about possibly converting to a gas log fireplace. He also recommended who to contact for that. As always, a pleasure to do business with.

Also determined that the dryer vent had separated in the drywall. He also helped me locate the exact location in the wall where the dryer vent had separated. He was exactly right on the location. That was my problem all along. Made repairs based on his input and all is well. Charged me for the minimum service call amount not the cost of a vent cleaning. Very satisfied.

We had not had our chimney cleaned for over 4 years and Dave worked for over an hour cleaning (once equipment was brought into the house and set up). He spread a tarp over the carpet in front of the fireplace and wore a hazmat suite while cleaning.

We had a very good experience with this company. I called to schedule the service and got an appt. for two weeks later as this is their busy season. Gene Beck arrived on time for the appt. and was very pleasant and professional. He was efficient and had the job done in less than 45 minutes and left no mess at all behind. Very nice man and I always like to give our business to the local companies rather than to the larger chains! Highly recommend them and will use them again.

They were prompt, considerate and helpful. They spent time with me and answered all my questions. I was satisfied with their service.
