Description of Work: Repointed two chimneys, built new concrete base around one, cleaned out both, cut out square in one to add a service door.

Overall it wasn't a useful service. He didn't do the cleaning and instead of trying to see what could be done to fix it he just stood around saying how bad it is. Have found another company that said they will actually help me out.
Description of Work: Sent out a tech that just stood around telling me how awful my chimney is. Not useful at all. Said he couldn't complete the sweep which I understand but didn't have any valuable feedback to give.

One man came and did the work over two days. The reason it required two days was because he had to let the net cement dry before he put the cap on. He was very professional.
Description of Work: The cement between the bricks had to be ground out and replaced. I also had a cap put on the chimney.

The replacement of the concrete crowns was accomplished on Tuesday. Monday was originally scheduled, but the mason was not able to start until Tuesday due to a previous job. The concrete crowns were inspected, the caps were reinstalled, and the chimneys were waterproofed on Friday. We were satisfied with the work. The mason was friendly and seemed to do a good job. He asked us to call if we have any problems. Time will tell if we have solved the problems.
Description of Work: We wanted to stop the leaks in two chimneys due to the porosity of the bricks. The mason replaced the concrete crown and reinstalled the cap for two chimneys. Waterproofed two chimneys.

They came, saw what had to be done, gave us a detailed explanation. They told us it would be a while before they could do the job. They came a few weeks after we had given them the down payment and did a very good job over two days. They were professional and worked fast.
Description of Work: Bricks had fallen out of the shoulders of the chimney. They removed all the loose bricks and mortar, and attached new bricks with mortar. They tuck-pointed all areas on the chimney, from top to bottom, where needed. Repaired the crown.

The tone of the phone conversation felt a bit condescending to me. He did not seem to take into account what I was trying to tell him. It seems unrealistic to diagnose a problem over the telephone.
Description of Work: I called the company to get an estimate to remove and rebuild my chimney. During a brief phone conversation I tried to explain our problem. Sight unseen I was told my chimney was not pulling away from my house. A week later I recieved an estimate to repoint and repair 80 bricks. Two other companies told me that the chimney was leaning away from the house enough that it was structurally unsound and needed to be rebuilt. A structural engineer later confirmed this.

He was prompt and courteous and did a good job. Afterwards was when the problems arose. I needed a detailed report of the damage inside the chimney and an estimate for repair in a timely manner in order to apply for the 203K FHA streamline mortgage product, which allows for repair costs to be built into the mortgage. The employee who did the inspection went on vacation for a week and a half immediately following my inspection and did not communicate with or give his inspection report notes to anyone at Chimney Savers. I needed this information ASAP. I persisted in contacting the company, but no one there could give me any information until this person returned from vacation. As a result I had to get another contractor to the property to do another estimate. By the time Chimney Savers finally called me with the information, it was too late, I had already obtained another bid and contracted that other company. To add to all this, I went to the property for the walk through the other day October 27th and discovered a detailed report and estimate from Chimney Savers in the mailbox dated Sept. 9th! It was very unprofessional to mail this to a house I did not even own yet. Obviously this is why I did not get the report! The whole experience was very frustrating, and wasted a lot of my time.
Description of Work: An employee came to a property that I am purchasing to clean the chimney and attach flues and do a chimney inspection.

Response from Chimney Savers
I TRULY WISH THIS CUSTOMER PROVIDED US WITH THE PROPER MAILING INFORMATION, PERHAPS HE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN HIS INFORMATION IN A TIMELY MANNER. IT IS CERTAINLY NOT IN MY COMPANIES BEST INTEREST TO MAIL INFORMATION TO AN ADDRESS WHERE IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO RECEIVE IT. AS FAR AS MY EMPLOYEE GOING ON VACATION...WHAT CAN I SAY, THEY DO THAT SOMETIMES... AND I WISH I COULD CONTACT THEM MYSELF. I AM GLAD THAT THE CUSTOMER GOT SOMEONE ELSE TO HELP HIM OUT AND VERY SORRY HE WAS UNHAPPY WITH OUR SERVICE. AUTUMN IS OUR BUSY SEASON AND PERHAPS HE DID GET LOST IN THE SHUFFLE A BIT, BUT TO SAY HE WAS PERSISTENT IN CALLING ME TO FIX THE SITUATION IS IN MY OPINION NOT ACCURATE. I RECEIVED ONE PHONE CALL TO SEND THE INFO- WHICH I DID, TO THE ONLY ADDRESS I HAD FOR HIM. THEN I SEE THIS COMMENT IN MY EMAIL. COULD IT BE THAT BUYING A PROPERTY IS A HECTIC THING AND PERHAPS MY COMPANY DID NOT COMPLETELY DROP THE BALL MAYBE THE CUSTOMER FORGOT SOME THINGS ALSO? I JUST THINK IT IS KINDER TO ADDRESS SOMEONE DIRECTLY WITH A PROBLEM AND TRY TO RESOLVE IT TOGETHER, RATHER THAN ATTEMPT TO HURT THEIR LIVELY HOOD BY SLANDERING THEIR COMPANY ON THE INTERNET. I CAN'T REMEMBER A TIME IN MY 15 YEARS IN THIS PROFESSION WHERE I EVER TOLD SOMEONE "NO I WILL NOT HELP YOU" BUT I CAN'T SAY "YES I WILL HELP YOU" EITHER IF YOU DO NOT ASK ME. I RUN A WELL OILED MACHINE AND WE ARE VERY WELL ORGANIZED, I AM AT A COMPLETE LOSS FOR THOSE COMMENTS BY THE CUSTOMER. I GUESS YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE, BUT IT WON'T STOP US FROM STILL TRYING.

The chimney had not been cleaned in a very long time as it had not been used. We live in an old house, so I do not think it was an easy job. Still the price estimate was $125 and the charge with the 5% off Angie's List coupon was $160. The room was sooty afterward, but that may always happen. The service provider was friendly.
Description of Work: Cleaned our kitchen chimney. Will also provide an estimate for damper.

Work was performed as promised, and appears to be well done. Technicians provided a connection to a roofer who later did the flashing very efficiently. Price was exactly as promised, even though work scope expanded slightly from the estimate. They need to work on their communications a little, but they did a good, efficient job and I recommend them.
Description of Work: Chimney rebuild from roofline up, repairs to chimney base in basement, repointing of brick on corner of house. Job was approx $4000.

We had initially contacted Chimney Savers to sweep and inspect our chimney. The tech recommended a rebuild over repointing, and gave very specific details on why rebuilding was better than repointing, which we very much appreciated. We called them with a lot of questions after the quote, and the techs were alway very knowledgeable and helpful. We had to wait about 6 weeks after giving a deposit for the work to begin, but the work was finished within the 4-day window we were given. Over the weekend we experienced high winds and rain, and the techs even came out to re-secure a tarp that had blown off during the night. Our chimney looks great - we're the envy of the neighborhood - and I feel like we got good value for the money.
Description of Work: Chimney rebuild from attic up and removal of old chimney materials.
