The best chimney sweep company I have ever used. Another company told me that I would need to replace the back brick, but Beck's explained that I would not-just maybe tuckpointing in the Spring. The company from start to finish was excellent.

Dave Clift was the sweep and he was very professional. He arrived on-time and presented his business card at the door(they also called to confirm the appointment on the day before). He was very neat, making sure the area around the chimney was covered and left everything as he found it. The cleaning only took about 1/2 hour and Dave also answered a number of questions that I had about the chimney. I've used Beck's before and have been very happy with the service that they provide. The may not be the cheapest service, but they are knowledgeable and seem very customer-oriented.

Receptionist/scheduler was very pleasant and went to great lengths to take care of us because our furnace was not working. Dave was nearby and came over within a few hours. He did pull a small amount of debris from the flue, but did not do any other checking. He lit a fire in the flue to show me that air was moving up through the vent, but did not get out his ladder to check from the top down. Our problem was not just about moving air, but moving ENOUGH air to properly vent a large furnace. I asked for a cap and he said I didn't need one. Overall a very lame experience for quite a lot of money.
Description of Work: Called about a blocked flue during a very busy time. They came out same day to investigate and remove blockage.

Response from Beck's Chimney Sweep
CUSTOMER REQUESTED SAME-DAY, EMERGENCY SERVICE, BECAUSE HER FURNACE WAS NOT WORKING. HER HEATING/AIR COMPANY ADVISED HER TO CONTACT A CHIMNEY SWEEP TO REMOVE THE DEBRIS FROM THE FURNACE FLUE. WE PROVIDED EMERGENCY, SAME-DAY SERVICE, AND REMOVED THE DEBRIS/BLOCKAGE FROM HER FURNACE FLUE. WE UTILIZE MIRRORS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FLU TO ENSURE THAT ALL BLOCKAGE HAS BEEN REMOVED, SO INSPECTION FROM THE TOP DOWN IS NOT NECESSARY. ALL DEBRIS FROM THE FURNACE FLUE WAS COMPLETELY REMOVED, WHICH RESULTED IN THE CUSTOMER’S FURNACE WORKING WHEN WE LEFT HER HOME. THE CUSTOMER WAS ADVISED THAT WE DO NOT SUGGEST PUTTING COVERS ON GAS FURNACE FLUES BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBLE IMPACT TO VENTILATION OF THE SYSTEM. THE CUSTOMER THANKED US FOR OUR ASSISTANCE AND DID NOT EXPRESS ANY CONCERNS UNTIL POSTING THIS REPORT. THE CUSTOMER SHOULD ADDRESS HER CONCERN ABOUT THE FURNACE FLUE MOVING ENOUGH AIR FOR THE SIZE OF THE FURNACE WITH HER HEATING/AIR COMPANY.

Beck's evaluated my crumbling chimney and determined that the repairs were beyond their capabilities. They waived their usual fee because they could not help me, and recommended a mason. They then returned after the repairs were complete and did the cleaning, installed a damper clip, explained how to use the gas fireplace and made sure everything was working. I will definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: Initial visit for evaluation, another visit after repairs to do the cleaning.

A previous service put a new cap on, but that did not solve the problem. Beck was unable to diagnose anything. The charge was just for the visit.

Beck's Chimney Sweep did a wonderful job and I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone. Gene Beck performed the evaluation and he did a terrific job of explaining what he was looking for and how the insert in my fireplace was installed and worked. He arrived ahead of schedule (and called to confirm if an early arrival would be OK with me), he immediately introduced himself and handed me his card so I knew exactly who he was before entering my home. He was extremely considerate of my white carpet and promptly removed his shoes (which most people unfortunately do not do). He had to move some items around my hearth to do the inspection, which he did very carefully and replaced them when he was finished. During his evaluation he determined that I did not need to have the chimney cleaned at this time. Gene made me feel very comfortable with his evaluation and that he had his customers' best interests at heart. As a consumer I would have no idea if my chimney really needed cleaned or not and felt very, very comfortable that Beck's would never mislead a customer just for monetary gain. I will recommend Beck's to anyone I come in contact with who is considering a chimney evaluation or other chimney work. Give them a try; I think you will be glad you did!
Description of Work: Evaluated need to have chimney swept.

Again, Beck's is wonderful. I really appreciate that they could've made more money just by telling me that I needed my chimney swept, but they were honest. They were on time, cleaned up after the job, and reasonably priced. I have already recommended them to others for their Fall chimney needs!
Description of Work: From the moment I called and talked to Carmen Clift, this was a pleasant experience. She was so nice to talk to, made the appointment at my convenience, and then called the day before the appointment to remind me, which I really appreciate. Dave Clift was at my house on time and talked to me about my needs. I didn't know if my chimney needed sweeping or not, and he suggested that it could wait. I was pretty sure I needed a new damper system, and I did. Dave suggested that I needed a top sealing damper and why, told me what it would cost, and said he thought he had the necessary equipment on his truck to do the job right then. He did, layed out a cloth to keep my living room clean, and installed the damper. He showed my how to work it and cleaned up completely before leaving.

They gave me an estimate that was $500 higher than another company I used AND THEN left my wife with a bill for the estimate - $68!!!! I have not paid for an estimate since the late 80's, so I guess I assumed a reputable company with a good AL rating would not. While she disputed it, the woman who scheduled the estimate did not mention I would be charged, because I assure you I would not have scheduled it. While this company may do good work, they obviously make good money charging to hand out high estimates. We went with a competitor who was $500 cheaper and did a fantastic job-After a FREE estimate.
Description of Work: I called for an estimate. They promptly scheduled it and required someone to be there (not excited about this because it is for an easily-accessed chimney). The estimate was for a new stainless chimney top. BEWARE - they charge for estimates. In the AL section about free estimates, it says "call for details". While they may tell everyone else, I was NOT told when I scheduled the estimate. Sure, they reduce the estimate charge from the work total, but who cares?

Response from Beck's Chimney Sweep
WE'RE SORRY THAT THE MEMBER DID NOT UNDERSTAND THERE WOULD BE A FEE FOR HAVING US COME TO HIS HOME. THIS INFORMATION IS GIVEN TO CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY CALL TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. WE HOPE THE WORK HE HAD DONE WAS COMPLETED BY A CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL WITH COMPARABLE QUALITY OF MATERIALS, AS THIS WOULD IMPACT THE PRICE.

Very well. They first repaired a leak around the chimney that a home inspection had found, then swept a chimney and repointed fireboxes. They certainly knew their work, explained clearly what needed to be done, and were pleasant and courteous.

Dave was great! He took care of the chimney repair, including some additional masonry work for which he didn't even charge. Dave was punctual (even a few minutes early!), professional, and extremely knowledgeable about our chimney issues. I would hire Dave again in a minute, plus will recommend him to anyone needing help with their chimney.

We had raccoons in the chimney. We waited until the baby raccoons were gone. There was one raccoon left and he scarred him out without charging us. He cleaned up all the ashes so there was not any odor in the house. He put the cap on after the raccoons were gone and the chimney was clean. I thought that they were very professional. They use aluminum and not cast iron so it would not rust.
