DO NOT USE. The technicians have no knowledge or very poor knowledge on gas fireplaces. Will damage your existing fireplace and not tell you.

Upon arrival the tech "inspected" the chimney by laying down by the fireplace for about 60 and looking up into the chimney. That and a quick visual of the firebox is what Judd & Son calls a full chimney inspection. I was told that the liner was bad and I would need it redone at a cost of $4,800. I asked some additional questions and was assured the liner was bad from top to bottom. What makes this interesting is that about 10 years ago this same company rebuilt the top of the chimney. When I asked the tech about this he said they "typically" do not remove the liner which is why the entire liner is now bad. One problem with that, I recall that the clay liner was removed and was on the ground when the chimney was rebuilt. That means, unless they did poor work, the only portion of the liner that is bad would be the bottom...contradicting what I was told. I reached out to several other companies all of which told me the only you can determine the severity of a liner issue would be through a smoke test, a camera, or a combo of both. Bottom line, I am nearly certain Judd & Son gave me an estimate for repair that applies to most homes my age most of the time vs a true custom quote for the exact condition present on my home. I leave you with this, if the liner typically breaks down over time why on earth would they have no mentioned this 10 yrs ago during the rebuild? Why on earth would one rebuild a chimney around a liner this close to failure? More questions than answers here....Never again.

They came out and gave an estimate but would not do the work so I just paid a service fee. I was not happy at all with them. They were supposed to do a chimney sweep, but they ended up not doing anything and just gave me a quote. They could have given me a better quote and better explained the fees up front. I had no prior experience with them.

The very pleasant phone dispatcher scheduled service, and due to weather, rescheduled service. The crew was on time, thorough, and did first class work. They were able to match the cement perfectly with a 16 year old brick's cement. Also, caulked wherever necessary. I'd highly recommend this company for tuckpointing work.

I had 5 estimates 2 were close to Mr. Judd's, but Mr. Judd explained the work he was going to do more thorough, he made me feel confident in the type of work that he would do and all that needed to be done in order to prevent any problems of carbon monoxide in the house because of new chimney construction. He also explained that he would match as close as possible the texture and the color of my previous brick. The next few weeks asking and receiving literature and more information on the procedures that was to be performed by the very courteous and knowledged chief of staff Mrs. Lucie I chose JUDD & SONS CHIMNEY SERVICE. The mason and helper were ultimate professionals, they set up the scaffolding with care as not to damage any parts of my house or roof. the mason was the best tradesman I ever have seen. it was a pleasure interacting and watching him work he is a master at his craft. in the end I received a work of art in my chimney it is a pleasure to look at and I am sure it will last long as the house. in all thank you all involved I am very pleased with the great work you have done on my home. if I need any of your services I will surely call JUDD & SONS CHIMNEY SERVICE.
Description of Work: replaced my chimney to the roof line and complete rebuild. installed a new crown wash and applied a new crown coat over crown wash. installed a new 5" flex liner system including top plate and cap. removed and replaced connector pipes to appliances.

Joe came out to clean and checked our chimneys. He took his time and answered all my questions. They kept everything clean and removed their shoes upon entering my home. I recently had a bad experience with Albert the Chimney Sweep and will now give all my future business to Judd and Son. I highly recommend them!

Came in and took his shoes off. They asked which door I wanted them to bring the vacuum cleaner through. They were most courteous and polite and concerned about getting my house dirty. He also inspected the chimney on the roof and said it was in great shape. the only thing that was different was the firebox looked sparkling clean! Nice gentlemen, I'd hire them again.

I called this company because we have just bought a house with a fireplace and we have never had a fireplace before. I was told it would be $89.00 for the inspection and they would tell me prices for any additional work that needed to be done. The technician told me it was clean and did not to be cleaned at this time. They inspected the chimney on the roof and reported it was in good condition. The glass door/screen was loose and he advised how i could secure it quite easily. Showed and explained the floor and other elements. I was impressed that he didn't try to sell me services that weren't needed. Definitely will call this company again when we need it cleaned or any other service.

overall we would rate our experience as A++++. it's nice to hire someone so concerned with our piece of mind and has such great customer service from start to finish. we would and do highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: we had judd &son come out and clean our chimney which as always they did a great job( this is our fourth year with them). about a month later we called them back due to concerns that our free standing buck stove didn't seem to be functioning as it normally does. we were getting excess smoke and less heat output. we called them back for advice because we were concerned about the safety of using the stove. the owner promptly called us back and we discussed what might be causing the problem but just on the safe side he said they would come out and take a look. within in no time they were back out to reinspect the stove and advised us we had a bad batch of wood (too wet). we started using different wood and problem solved...... the chimney sweep was 159.00. follow up visit was a courtesy call to insure the original job was to our satisfaction...that's what you call great customer sevice.
