Basic Chimney Sweep

Description of Work: They did MUCH more than a chimney cleaning. In terms of the cleaning itself, Mr. Caillais spent about 10 times longer than a previous company had; he did a very, very thorough job. He also corrected some things I was (incorrectly) told by the previous company I used. Then Mr. Caillais replaced a back firebox in the chimney, at my request, because the previous company had done an AWFUL job at that. I hated my fireplace until Basic Chimney Sweep made it look like it did when we installed it. And his price for replacing the firebox was MUCH cheaper than the previous company, which basically cheated me. (Live and learn.) This is a GREAT company. I will use them every year for cleaning/inspection from now on. I will never use another one.

Description of Work: Cleaned my chimney and alerted me to a dryer vent problem that wasn't serious but needs to be fixed at some point. He didnt push his service but told me to call them if we decided to fix it

Description of Work: He fixed a leaking chimney that had given us trouble for a long time.

Description of Work: It was going to be a simple cleaning of my chimney. However upon examination, he discovered years, and years, worth of bird droppings. This I believed as over the past 36 years my chimney has been home to thousands of chimney swifts. He had to reschedule as he needed special equipment and had to wait for a day that he had time to thoroughly clean his equipment afterwards. Bird droppings can be extremely toxic. When he returned and did the job, he showed me what was up there. I am so happy I used Basic Chimney Sweep. They are honest, professional, and left my home without a trace of dust.

Description of Work: For years, the chimney & fireplace had not been properly maintained in the house we had just bought, so both we and the building inspector were concerned about its appearance and safety. Services performed include: Swept and inspected chimney . Washed, water-sealed exterior bricks and coated crown. Installed top-seal damper. Painted firebox, replaced bedding material, seated logs. Service was excellent. Price was fair. Everything is now in perfect order. We are delighted.

Description of Work: I thought I had already filled this out last year. He was VERY PROFESSIONAL and great to work with. My daughter has had 3 or 4 people try to fix the leak in her chimney for a hefty price. He was the only one who stopped it permanently.! Very nice man.

Description of Work: Came out the day after I called.
