I was disappointed in the cost of this job and how the estimate was handled. Mike was vague when asked about an initial estimate. Then as the work was being performed, I asked him to sweep the chimney flues if it could be done and keep the total price under $1000.00. He agreed that he could keep it to that amount. Two days later he came back to sweep the flues. Only after all work was complete did he reveal that it would be more than the estimate. He had plenty of time while the work was being completed to reveal that the price would be almost 25% higher than his estimate.
Description of Work: I had some leaking around the base of my chimney. Mike agreed to re-work the flashing, waterproof the cap, and add a metal flue cover. As he was performing this work, I decided to ask him to sweep the chimney flues as well.

I really have no negative comments to make. Mike was here exactly when he said he would be, he worked quickly, but was efficient, was friendly but professional, and even left a couple of little chimney sweep guys (toys) for my two older children. He was even concerned about not giving one to my toddler because of it being a choking hazard. I would definitely recommend Mike to anyone who was looking to have any service done on their chimney.
Description of Work: Cleaned entire fireplace, flue, and smoke chamber, removed all creosote and ash debris, went up on roof and inspected chimney for water damage, leaks, etc., made recommendations to replace firebox and lintel area, get new ash dump cover, and porge smoke chamber. Also recommended top crown coat on top of chimney, waterproofing, and stainless steel rain cap.

He did not folllow through on calling back when he said he would. The one time he did call, it was without warning, in the middle of a weekday, although I had told him we work days. I paid for an estimate and never got work done.
Description of Work: I have a leaking chimney with some celiling damage inside. I wanted the work done before winter. He returned my first call in a reasonable amount of time. Charged for doing an estimate and said the estimate charge would not be applied to the work. Told me I need the chimney sealed and a larger cap or three small caps. Said he would be back within a few weeks. He called once, a month later, mid-day, after we had all gone to work, to say he wanted to come now. Never heard from him agian, despite calling back to try to schedule with him. Searching for another company now.

I called him, he came over made the notes(measures) and never got back to me. I called again after 3 months saying that I wanted to do the job and to him give the price. He said he would have to came over again to take measures. I set up a appointment with another company that day, so I called canceling with him, he didn't even remember that he set the appointment, plus he did questions like how much I could spend, because he's very expensive and that he's very busy. That's not professional, I wanted the job done before the winter. So, definitely I went to another company.
Description of Work: I quoted for chimney repair. Line furnace and fireplace, fix fireplace cracks, install a cap at the top.
