I can't speak enough about how prompt, professional, and great a job A-Tec did.  For the inspection, they were slated to show up between 8 and 10 on a Saturday morning and arrived at 9am with a crew of 3.  2 guys on the roof and one guy in the house.  On May 9th, they came to do the repairs.  My wife and I weren't home, so we left them a key and when we arrived at the house after work, we found all of the repairs they had quoted to be done and practically immaculate.  We were concerned about the mess that cleaning the fireplace would cause, on account of the fact that we had just repainted our living room, but we were assured that they treat every home like it's a million dollar home and sure enough, the only clue I had that they had torn out the hearth to replace the brick and cleaned the ash was that everything looked new.  No dirt or grime anywhere on the surrounding walls or floors. 
I would absolutely call on A-Tec again. They were responsive and professional.  Having never used a chimney repair company before, I can't speak to how their prices rank against other companies, but I feel I got my money's worth from them and will call on them next time we need help with our chimney.

Arrived early, worked the entire day with a crew of 3 to 4. They stayed within the original estimate and left everything neat and clean. They never tried to upsell for more or different work.

Excellent!!

The  booking, quote, and work went very well overall. The repointing was interrupted because of darkness and rain, and wasn't fully visible till the sun came out. I called Jonathan, the owner, who sent 2 men back in a timely fashion to finish the job. I was very pleased, and would recommend this contractor.

Great

We had never had the chimney on our house cleaned in the years we owned it.  I left a message for a quote and my call was returned by Jonathan in less than 1/2 an hr.  It was easy to schedule to have it done and very nice to have a company be so quick to respond.  Dave
and his helper showed up on time, did the inspection and cleaning quickly and were very neat and professional.
We knew the chimney needed to be replaced at least from the roof up and asked Dave for an estimate.  He wrote it up and I called a couple days later to schedule that.  Again, Jonathan was really nice and helpful when I called to schedule.  They were available quickly and we scheduled.  They tore down the chimney, just from the roof up, replaced the two flues and put a stainless steel cap on it.  Again, David and the crew showed up on time.  Were very polite and took the time to clean up the debris from the tear down.  They went the extra mile in making the chimney more than just a simple chimney and it came out great.
I cannot say enough about A-Tec.  The owner and the other guys were all so nice to deal with.  I highly recommend them.  The coupons from Angie's list also help to offset the cost.  They were right on with the estimate for the chimney replacement and I definitely got my money's worth.

They were the second company I called and I was quite pleased they were able to schedule a visit within the week. They provided an estimate price based on what AI needed done before arriving. I called to have 2 fireplace chimney's inspected and cleaned and repair work on broken brick in1.  They were prompt, quick and very thorough with their work and my surprise the repair work was minor and very inexpensive.  While on site I inquired about a fireplace cap and the price given was reasonable so this work was performed as well.  In addition an estimate was provided the for older of the 2 chinmeys if so wished they have it rebuilt above the roofline in the future.

Very clean, very professional, & very courteous. Took time to teach us how to properly use a fireplace & answered all questions. Discovered deteriorating structure in the oil tank flue & provided estimate for repair. Also encouraged us to get comparison quotes.

I called A Tec based on reviews on Angie's List.  They quickly returned my call, came within 2 days, performed an inspection of 2 fireplace chimneys and fixed a minor problem with one chimney (top down damper chain closure had broken).  I though I needed a flue clean on one fireplace but they said it was quite clean.  They were very professional, clean, and efficient.  They only charged me the minimum for a "house call" since it didn't take much time for the repair.

This company was great.  Someone answered the phone when I called, and I was able to schedule an appointment in a reasonable amount of time (I think it was a couple of weeks).  They showed up on time and the inspection and cleaning was completed in a professional manner.  They took the time to avoid getting soot on the carpet and around the house.  The cap size required for my chimney had to be ordered, but the guys were able to schedule another appointment even before they left.  The second visit did not require me to be home, so they were able to install while I was at work.  When I got home, it was done!  I would recommend A-Tec anytime and I look forward to calling them again next year!

When A-Tec first came out to do a cleaning, they noted the firebrick in our wood burning fireplace would eventually have to be replaced because it had some cracks. As we continued to use the FP, the cracks obviously worsened and I began looking around to see if it would be cheaper to replace the panels myself (though I wasn't too thrilled at the prospect). Finally I decided to call A-Tec back and get a price from them and they asked me to check my old invoice. The estimate for the repairs was right there and cheaper than it would have been to buy the individual panels myself (they buy them in sheets and cut them to size right on site).  So they came out, were once again quick, clean and totally professional, AND they took my $50 Angie's List coupon right off the total. When I asked if we needed another cleaning yet they said we were good to go for awhile so they weren't trying to add any extras. Bottom line is these guys are honest, dependable and very reasonable. We won't be calling anyone else for our FP and chimney needs.

Did a great job, cleaned up after themselves, worked quickly, no complaints.
Offered to inspect our second (unused) chimney and noticed there was an issue with the flu (provided a quote for fixing it).  Inspected the chimney structure and gave a rough estimate for getting them re-pointed.  Thankfully they also suggested inspecting the flu for our furnace, what they called the "forgotten flu".  Turns our it was full of dirt and the liner was degrading.  They cleaned it and gave us an estimate by when we'd need a replacement and a quote to replace the liner.  It's expensive so obviously in their interest to find things like this, but I was happy nonetheless that they were thorough because if we missed this it could be a serious problem.

Very polite and knowledgeable

Dave and his crew showed up early in the morning and were done by the early afternoon.  They rebuilt the chimney from the attic up and capped it.  They also lined the chimney and rerouted the venting in the basement which means they had to do some chimney/flue masonry there too.  The chimney looks so much better!  They did the masonry in a fashion that complements the style of the house, which actually makes a big aesthetic difference.  They were clean, professional, punctual and timely.  I will recommend them to others and will hire them again if needed.

Job was very well done

They arrived on time, were very professional and the work was of excellent quality. They completed all the work in one day.
I would highly recommend them.

Overall, the experience was excellent. Everyone I dealt with was not only professional but pleasant to work with. I will hire them again and recommend them to anyone requiring chimney service.

I called due to an issue with my damper closing.  ATEC scheduled a Saturday appointment within  a week. Resolved my issue with the damper by cleaning the chimney.  Professional experience and will hire again for next years cleaning.

OVERALL EXCELLENT

Great service...prompt and very polite.  Educated me on the use of my wood stove...telling me things I did not know..thanks!
I highly recommend this company!

I recently purchased a new house and wanted to be sure that my wood burning fireplace was OK before using it. I first called ATec out to sweep the chimney and inspect it. My house inspector wasn't sure if it was properly lined and said that he thought it needed to be repointed from the roof line up.
A tec was friendly on the phone and came out immediately to sweep the chimney and inspect. They gave me a discount for being an Angie's List customer, too. They were punctual and polite. After cleaning out the chimney on the first visit, I received a written estimate for the work that needed to be done and Tony explained everything to me in layman's terms. I set up an appointment to have the work performed a few weeks later. He also explained that my liner was perfectly fine and looked very good, even though my original inspector wasn't sure what was going on. I was also concerned about some debris at the bottom of the chimney in the basement and he assured me that everything was fine there. 
When Atec returned to do the additional work on my chimney, they arrived right on time (actually a few minutes early - bonus!) and got right to work on the job. There were two guys and they were both courteous and polite. They made sure to not get anything dirty or messy inside the house. They first removed the broken damper and then installed the new one, and showed me how to work it. Then they went outside to work on the chimney. They repointed the brick from the roof-line on up, fixed the cracked crown, added a stainless chimney cap, and then applied some sort of sealant to the brick.
At one point, they needed me to turn on the water to an outside faucet. I wasn't sure where the shut off valve was, so they were pretty patient as I called my husband and we poked around in the cellar trying to find what they needed. 
I will definitely call A Tec in the future when I need any work done.

Got an appointment easily for less than a week out with a three hour time window.  They showed up during the time window but it would have been nice to get a call that they were on their way; that is why I gave them a B for responsiveness.  Fortunately I was home so it wasn't an issue.  Two guys used a machine to clean the chimney.  They seemed to do a decent job but I've never had the chimney cleaned before so I don't have anything to compare it to.  I noticed the next day there was some black dust on the piano.  I'm not sure if that was from the cleaning or using the fireplace that night but there wasn't too much of a mess.  I've used the fireplace three times since it's been cleaned and haven't had any issues.  I would use them again.

It went great!  They showed up when they were supposed to kept my house clean and did a fantastic job!!!!  I would definitely hire them again.
