They were good. They came on time and cleaned up after themselves. They found cracks in the tile lining and recommended lining both flues which turned out not being necessary. We hired another company to combine both flues to one which ended up being more economical. I will be using a different company from now on.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND BUSINESS ! OUR SWEEP DID NOT WANT TO INSTALL 4 APPLIANCES INTO ONE STAINLESS STEEL CHIMNEY LINER. THAT IS AN EXCESS OF HEAT STRESS ON THE LOWER PART OF THE NEW LINER. ALSO, IF IN THE FUTURE YOU MODIFY OR ADD TO ANY OF YOUR APPLIANCES AND INCREASE THERE BTU OUTPUT, THE NEW LINER SYSTEM MAY NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY FOR THE BTU INCREASE. THANK YOU.

A rep from the company returned my call and told me that I didn't need any work done. He said he did not need to come to my house. He explained that I did not really need a liner in my furnace flue since it was an oil-burning flue, that was only really necessary for gas burners. That went against everything I'd been told by others. I can't recall the rest of the 10-minute conversation we had, but I could not believe this company would tell me everything was fine without looking at it. He said I should just get the fireplace flue cleaned. He told me to go ahead and light fires in the fireplace, I'd be fine. I took it all in and hung up, then realized this was ridiculous advice for someone to tell me without an on-premise evaluation. I later learned that the fireplace was improperly built 50+ years ago, was never mortared in some areas and was a fire hazard alone. I am getting the boiler flue relined by another company. I do not see how fumes and airborne combustion waste seeping through cracks in my old crumbled flue liner, ash pit and chimney wouldn't pose a problem.
Description of Work: I contacted them regarding fireplace and boiler flue liners that needed repair in a newly purchased house. I was interested in having a rep come to the house for an estimate. I had received a couple of quotes and advice already from other companies and contacted Master Chimney Sweepers from their marks on Angie's List.

It was a VERY hot day and the guys did a great job of cleaning the upstairs fireplace (which is just an exhaust for the pellet stove) and cleaning the other wood stove chimney which was really bad because the previous owners of my house had burned a lot of trash in it. They also put a cap on the old (now unused) opening for the oil furnace - which had been "capped" with a foil pie plate and duct tape.
Description of Work: Cleaned both chimneys and capped an unused exhaust opening.

They put a tarp down on the carpet to walk on while doing the fireplace so they didn't track soot all over. They used a vacuum to keep it from flying all over the house.

I appreciated very much that he didn't do any work that didn't need to be done. He seemed very thorough and honest. He only charged me for the inspection of the two chimneys.
Description of Work: I had called to have the two chimneys in our new house cleaned, as well as some areas examined that the home inspector pointed out may have needed to be fixed. The man who came out examined both chimneys and stated that they were clean and didn't need any servicing. He also said the areas that the inspector was worried about were not a concern to him.

The experience was very good. Doug helped me. He was very knowledgeable and did a thorough job. He was fair and reasonable in the types of work he recommended which helped me feel comfortable to move forward with the work the he suggested.

Received a phone call on the morning of the appointment that they would be arriving at the end of the window of time I was given. The 2 guys arrived promptly. While the first started sweeping out the fireplace chimney, the second took a look at the basement where it was discovered that both the gas and water heater vents need to be swept out. I had been informed that the first vent or chimney would be $259 and any additional vents would be $159. Gerald confirmed that I was okay with the additional vents being swept and what the cost would be before proceeding. Both areas were cleaned up and clear of any vent debris before Master Chimney Sweepers left. I paid immediately with a credit card.

The company was very responsive in returning my calls. The servicemen showed up an hour later than the scheduled window of time we were given. When we called to find out why they had not arrived, we were told the servicemen were supposed to call us to alert us. When the men arrived at our house an hour later than the scheduled timeframe, they told us that the office should have called to inform us of the delay. The men were very professional and did advise us that we only needed one flue cleaned as the other was clean and in good repair. They cleaned the one flue. There was also confusion about method of payment (because they were so late in arriving, the office was closed and could not accept our credit card for processing).

They were ok on being responsive. They were very friendly. It was nice that they did an assessment first before they decided what needed to be done, so that way we wouldn't end up spending more money for extra work that didn't need to be performed.
