Kerry was GREAT! Very friendly and professional! He came, did a quick inspection, upon this, commenced cleaning my chimney and fireplace. The whole thing took about an hour, and he did a great job. Not only did he clean everything well, he took me on the roof and up into the bottom of the chimney to explain how everything worked and why problems arise. He gave me pamphlets and information and even has a guy who sells seasoned firewood for a good price. Would definitely reccommend him! I have had many different contractors to my home in the last year, and have been extremely disappointed with the majority of them. Kerry is a different breed, and gave me faith in spending my money to have someone do a job and go above and beyond. Well Done!!

I had not used my 2 gas fireplaces in a couple of years and wanted them inspected to make sure they were OK to use...nothing blocking the chimneys, etc. Kerry Culbreth and partner arrived on time. They were very courteous and professional, and performed the inspections quickly. Both chimneys were clean and the charge for both inspections was $75. One of the fireplaces did not appear to be drawing correctly and I was advised to have someone come in to move the gas pipes and logs further back from the fireplace opening. I had never had that problem before. When Kerry left, I discovered that the flue on that fireplace was not completely opened which caused the fumes to back up into the room. When I checked the flue, it did seem to stick in one place which made you think it was opened all the way when in fact it was only partially opened. When I gave the flue an additional shove, it opened up the rest of the way. Once I did that, the fireplace was just fine and worked properly. Over all, the experience was good. As both chimneys were clean, no major work was done other than looking them over. Kerry was a nice person to work with and I would call him again if I needed a chimney sweep.
Description of Work: 2 fireplaces and chimneys were inspected.

We had just purchased this house which had an obviously dirty chimney. We love a fire in the cool/cold weather but did not want to use the fireplace without having it cleaned. Kerry was quick, neat, professional, and personable. Great service.
Description of Work: Kerry cleaned and inspected the fireplace and chimney. When he was finished, he showed us the best way to use it and discussed fire safety. He gave us a brochure on fire safety. Also, he had excellent recommendations of other tradesmen for us.

Everything went fine. For $75 he inspected the chimney interior which didn't need cleaning and identified a rust problem outside for which he had a solution. The additional money we spent was for him to correct the rust problem.
Description of Work: He checked our chimney inside and out. He uses a video camera to show you in real-time any problems he sees. In our case, he identified rust on the chimney cap and recommended a Rustoleum treatment. He found that our chimney did not need cleaning and showed me directly with his mirror. We contracted with him to treat the chimney cap which he did promptly the next week.

He got me very reasonable people, plus his work was very good. He even stayed there to supervise the other work that was going on. This was nice because I was out of town for most of this time. I have nothing but good things to say about him! His prices were very reasonable. The approximate cost listed is just for the work that he did, I had to pay the plumber and mason separately. I would like to say I think this man should be recommended for the Page of Happiness. He was not only on time for his service, but on time to supervise the other peoples work.
Description of Work: My mother's fireplace did not work. Kerry coordinated everything. They replaced some of the innards in the fireplace, got a plumber who replaced the rotted gas line, and got a mason that replaced the brick in the chimney, which was leaking water and led to the corrosion of the gas line. He also put a chimney cap on for us as well.

Kerry did a very thorough job in the inspection pointing out all that was wrong with the fireplace and chimney. He recommended quite a lot of repairs, including tearing down the chimney and rebuilding it, which he would be happy to arrange. The general home inspector disagreed with that assessment, and said just the chimney cap and flashing needed to be replaced. Although Kerry did quite a good job with the inspection, what he did not really "get" is that there is a conflict of interest when the inspector makes the recommendation, then offers to do the repairs. In instances like this, the two need to be completely separate. Because of his being so thorough, and nice, I would not hesitate to use him in the future for chimney cleaning or repairs someone else recommends. However, I probably would not use him to do repairs he recommends as an inspector.
Description of Work: Needed a chimney inspection before closing on a house.
Very friendly guy used imaging equipment that helped me understand what needed done and what my money would get me. Prompt and reasonably priced.
Description of Work: Clean fireplace and chimney and also repaired morter and chimney cap.

Excellent service and I would highly recommend. Kerry was very personable and kind. He did a great job of cleaning up (to the point that you can't even tell he was here). He covered any furniture that was close to the fireplace and used many drop cloths to ensure there was no dirt. He checked everything inside and out and provided some advice around some chimney water issues that I had been having.
Description of Work: Kerry came in and did a complete inspection and cleaning of our single fireplace and chimney. He capped off two old flues that are no longer in use.

Great job. Kerry was very helpful, when I made the appointment I told him that I had a gas smell and that the chimney hadn't been inspected in eight years. He told me that while the smell could come from a blocked chimney, it was more likely to come from the gas valve, which is a plumber's job. I happen to have a plumber coming over and, sure enough, the gas valve was leaking. Has Kerry not taken the time with me on the phone, I would have had to call a plumber again (meaning a second "call charge"). Kerry called before he came and was very thorough, neat and clean. Again, he was very helpful taking me down into the cellar and showing where the shutoff was for the fireplace gas as well as the shutoff for the furnace and water heater. No plumber or furnace guy had ever taken the time to show me that and I'm glad Kerry did. By the way, he told me he gives a discount if you call in the summer, so that's what I plan to do when I have the chimney inspected in a couple of years.

Kenny was very polite and professional on the phone when I scheduled the appointment. He told me the costs and explained what he would do. When he showed up at my house he handed me his card as soon as I opened the door which I appreciated as I was home alone. He explained what he would do again, cleaned and inspected (he said he wouldn't clean if it wasn't necessary in which case he would only charge for the inspection however it needed cleaning. He showed me and explained why it needed cleaning.) He covered the furniture and despite a mark I noticed on the floor after he left he was very clean. (The mark came off with some work and I am not sure if it was from his shoe or from moving the furniture.) When he was finished he gave me a clear receipt which included a quote for a cap, explained what the cap was for, showed me how to work my fireplace (just moved in and never had a fireplace before) and gave me some literature on safety.
Description of Work: He cleaned and inspected my chimney. He also gave me a quote on a chimney cap (not included in the above price) and fixed my damper (included.)

Don't bother calling anyone else. Kerry is a craftsman who takes pride in his work. Up front and honest about what you need/don't need. Gives free annual inspection. Removed three live birds (and at least one dead one) from my chimney, along with gallons of guano. No mess, no hassle.

They did a great job. They're were punctual, called when they encountered a traffic jam and still made within the time window they gave us. They didn't get the house dirty.

HE PUT A SHEET OUTSIDE AND PUT COVERS ON HIS SHOES BEFORE HE CAME INTO MY HOME. HE SPENT TIME EXPLAINING THINGS TO ME. I AM HAVING HIM COME BACK SOON TO PUT A NEW CAP ON MY CHIMNEY.
