He cleaned and checked our chimney and wood stove. He does excellent work, but he is very difficult to get in touch with.

Overall a painless experience with a true professional.
Description of Work: John Bowe arrived on time of the appointment and was a complete professional during his entire visit. He inspected our chimney and advised that it was safe and no cleaning was needed. We had a problem with birds getting into the chimney. John cleaned out nesting materials at the cap and reinstalled a screen to prevent birds from re-entering the chimney. Our roof is very steep. There was some flashing that had come loose around the chimney and John was able to re-attach and seal the flashing. The work was done in about two hours. We would definitely call him again for chimney work.
