+ 0 moreWe were faced with a very tight deadline with a purchase and sale agreement based on a home inspection. During the busiest time of year for the chimney cleaning business, Jim and staff made sure our needs were met. He was prompt in providing a quotation and and found a way to fit our urgent needs into his very busy schedule. We cannot thank Jim enough for all he did to make the sale of our house a success. Quality of workmanship was A+ and Jim and staff were very professional and a pleasure to do business with. Keep up the good work!!

chimney repair
+ -1 moreJim had done work for me before and I asked him to repair my cement stairs. He said he could patch it up no problem. He was going to work on the stairs after finishing the other project I had him working on. As he finished the other project he gave the stairs another look over and gave me his opinion that a patch work wouldn?t be the best long term solution for the stairs. He stated the other solution would be more expensive but would be the best long term solution. He gave me the estimate and stated he could do the work in the spring. That was August 2013. I gave Jim the call in early to mid Feb 2014. and set up the date. He came that day on time but made sure to call before and ask for the measurements of the stairs to make sure he had the correct martials. He got the materials and went to work. Did it in a quick and efficient manner and it turned out Great!! All that have seen it have made the same comments. Great Looking and I am looking to see if he can do the same work for my front stairs. As always great working with him and money well spent. Worth your business.

fireplaces
+ -1 moreHe called to ask if he could arrive early, which wasn't a problem for me. When he arrived he was very professional and courteous. He inspected the fireplace and let me know that we could indeed just remove the gas line and utilize the fireplace with wood. He also let me know that the chimney was in good working order and that we wouldn't need to have it cleaned this season. He then inspected the inside insert and let me know of some tricks to prevent smoke from coming into the house because of the small smoke chamber. It was a pleasure working with this company. I had spoken to many other fireplace repair companies and most of them were not even willing to come out and take a look at the fireplace, so I am grateful that he came and provided me with all the information I needed.
Description of Work: He inspected our non functioning gas fireplace.

chimney sweep
+ -1 moreWe were pleased with the service performed and would use/recommend Ash-go again. They were punctual and clean. That being said... The service technician did not clean our dryer vent because they did not come to our job with the necessary extension kit. We were told that they would come back free of charge to complete the job... I will update after the job has been completed. It also took a while to get a technician out to the house, over a month from the original call but 'tis the season. All in all it was a good experience at a fair price. Would use again. UPDATE: We scheduled the completion of the job- cleaning the dryer vent. It turned out that there was still a fee for the dryer vent, but the service charge (getting them to the house) was waved because this was a follow-up to the job. Johnny was the technician (same as chimney sweep), he worked quickly and was in and out within an hour. About two days later I noticed that the dryer vent exhaust tube had come undone and the dryer was venting into the basement. I made a call to Ash-Go and left a message. Within 20 min (without a call back) Johnny showed up at the house and took care of the job. He swapped out some parts at no charge and worked to make sure the job was complete. He walked me through the work and explained how he took care of the problem. He was personable and polite. I would recommend Ash-go based on their responsiveness and overall quality of work.

chimney repair
+ -1 moreObviously not well.
Description of Work: Ok, so, I am a contractor and I call the owner of this business to do some work for me. I told him to look at the job and send me an estimate. First of all when he went to the job MY CUSTOMER was there and they spoke and he took MY CUSTOMERS email info. Second, he undermined my authority by offering MY CUSTOMER a less than adequate option for the flashing and selling it as a better application. Third, after not hearing from him for about a week. I called and left a message, informing him that I never received his estimate. That evening, I received a phone call from his wife/secretary and she explained to me that she had sent the estimate to MY CUSTOMER. I asked her why she had sent MY CUSTOMER the quote and that I was clear to the owner of Ash Go Chimney that any and all information be sent to me. She proceeded to be rude and blame anyone but her, rather than apologizing and trying to repair the mistake she/her company had made. After going back and forth and getting nowhere she finally hung-up on me. I tried many time after that phone call to let the owner fix what his company did but never received a phone call from the owner. I will conclude with this. 1.) I find it very unprofessional to offer ANY alternatives to ANYTHING to SOMEONE ELSE'S CUSTOMER. Not to mention the alternative was definitely inferior. ANY good mason knows that there is NOTHING better than lead flashing for a chimney. 2.) What kind of company sends an estimate to SOMEONE ELSE'S CUSTOMER. 3.) Why would any professional business not try to repair the mistake they made. It just doesn't make business sense.

Choices were provided as to the extent of the work that was needed and what could be done at a future time. The written estimate was sent via e-mail within two days. An appointment date was set.

masonry, foundation repair
+ 0 moreWell I bought the home with a rusted out bulkhead and also foundation of bulkhead was rotting away. Need to have the bulkhead replaced and the foundation need to be rebuilt. I had used Jim on a few other jobs of the home. Had done a great job on them and gave him the call. Came out, gave me a quote and it was very reasonable. I went to a big box store and bought the bulkhead. He came over and rebuilt the foundation and made sure it was smooth and level again. He then put together the bulkhead and made sure it was connected to the foundation and home securely. Made sure it was water tight so nothing got in my basement. Great job again! I was also going to have him work on stairs but after he looked them over a second time suggested I not patch up the stairs but a more complex but better option. Stated he didn't want to take money for a project that would only last two years and have to be worked on again. His options were sound and helpful. I appreciated the honesty and also candor about the job. He gave me options and I will go with him once I decide which option I decide. Can't say enough about the job!!
Description of Work: Bulkhead replacement and masonry work on foundation around the bulkhead.

He came out gave it a once over told me what he had to do and did the job in a few hours. He was professional and made sure he kept the living room clean as he took care of the chimney cleaning. He not only checked from the fireplace but the roof and also the basement and did a quick check on the boiler as well. Made sure the lining was in good condition and not shot. Luck for me It was and he made sure the job was done right. Great job too!!

Jim was great came and had all the equipment need and even helped me put up my new mailbox to replace the one that got hit and knocked off during the storms of Feb. 13'. Not part of the job but while he was taking a break from some of the masonry work on the chimney helped me on this small project. Great. Work was done and looked good! Now don't have to worry about things going into the chimney from the top down. Great job and worth the money.

+ 0 moreBarbara called to schedule an estimate the weekend that I emailed my request over and she was very pleasant to work with. Jim came by and was extremely knowledgeable about his trade. He checked out the situation and provided an accurate overview of what needed to be done. Jim was there for 2 days putting in a chimney liner that we needed because the existing old clay liner was rotted out, he did a bunch of masonry work repointing the chimney as the bricks were loose, put a cap on the other side of my chimney, and came back another day (due to weather) to finish sealing the flashing around the chimney. His work looks really great and the chimney looks like brand new now. The liner was sealed up nicely as well from the basement so I know we won't have to worry about that for many years. Jim did what he had to do to get the job done despite some cold and snowy weather and I'm very happy with the work. If we had other chimney work to be done, we would definitely use Jim again.
