Everything has always gone well.
Description of Work: I have used them a few times for a standard chimney cleaning and once had them rebuild my chimney from the roofline up as well as put in a liner for my gas water heater and boiler. They put a cap on the chimney when it was rebuilt which I had never had before.

Response from Boston's Best Chimney
I'm sorry, but I don't have any recent paperwork on your property. My notes from 11/14/16 indicate that the client was going to explore glass door options, which is a service we do not provide. If this is not the case, please feel free to email or call the office. We are here Monday through Friday, 7am-4pm to answer questions or discuss scheduling.

THIS IS THE BEST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD DEALING WITH CONTRACTORS. THE REPRESENTATIVE WHO GAVE ME THE ESTIMATE WAS INFORMATIVE AND VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. HE LOOKED INSIDE MY CHIMNEY FROM ALL ANGLES (SOMETHING NOBODY ELSE HAD DONE) AND EXPLAINING EVERYTHING IN GREAT DETAIL, EVEN TELLING ME ABOUT POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WE MIGHT HAVE DOWN THE LINE. THEY WERE VERY PUNCTUAL AND RESPONSIVE, ALWAYS CALLING TO CONFIRM APPOINTMENTS OR TO LET US KNOW IF THEY WERE GOING TO BE DELAYED. MY HUSBAND WAS PRESENT WHEN THE WORKERS SHOWED UP TO REPAIR THE CHIMNEY, AND HE WAS AMAZED BY HOW POLITE AND FRIENDLY THE REPRESENTATIVES WERE. A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. ALTHOUGH THE PRICE WAS DEFINITELY HIGHER THAN OTHER BIDS, I FEEL SURE THAT WE HAVE A ROCK SOLID CHIMNEY THAT WILL LAST FOR YEARS TO COME.

I WAS SAD TO HAVE TO GO WITH THE PERSON THE LANDLORD WANTED. I WOULD DEFINITELY HIRE THIS FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS IN THE FUTURE!
Description of Work: THEY WERE GOING TO FIX A DOWN DRAFT IN OUR COMMERCIAL CHIMNEY. WHEN THEY CAME OUT TO ACTUALLY FIX IT, WE REALIZED THE CHIMNEY IS SHARED WITH THE SPACE THE LANDLORD OCCUPIES. BECAUSE OF THAT, THE LANDLORD WILL BE HIRING SOMEONE HE USUALLY WORKS WITH.

THEY SHOWED UP WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD. I ACCEPTED THEIR ESTIMATE AND IT WAS RIGHT ON, NO SURPRISES. THE WORK TOOK ABOUT TWO WEEKS, JUST AS THEY SAID IT WOULD. THEY HAD ALSO DONE THE INSPECTION BEFORE WE BOUGHT THE HOUSE. IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING IS FIXED THAT I HAD ASKED THEM TO FIX. ON THE WHOLE, I WAS PLEASED WITH THE OUTCOME. I FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE HAVING THE WORK DONE.
Description of Work: REBUILT TWO CHIMNEYS. THEY TOOK ONE DOWN TO THE CORE. THE SECOND CHIMNEY THEY TOOK DOWN TO THE ROOFLINE. INSTALLED FOUR LINERS FOR FIREPLACES AND FURNACE. COMPLETELY REBUILT ONE HEARTH AND REPAIRED THREE OTHERS.

PROMPT SCHEDULING FOR ESTIMATE. WORKED IN OUR RELATIVELY SMALL JOB EARLIER THAN ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED. COMPANY IS SOMEWHAT LARGE, AND COMMUNICATION WITH THE PERSON DOING THE WORK CAN BE SOMEWHAT PROBLEMATIC (I.E., I LEFT MESSAGES AT THE OFFICE AND THEN THE NEXT DAY I'D HEAR BACK FROM THE PERSON WORKING ON THE JOB. BE PREPARED TO PLAY A LITTLE PHONE TAG, BUT THESE GUYS DO GOOD WORK AT A DECENT PRICE.

ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT SERVICE WITH EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF. CHUCK, THE HEAD OF THE CREW FOR THE JOB, WAS VERY HELPFUL IN POINTING OUT THE EXACT PROBLEMS, AND THE PRICE QUOTE WAS EXACTLY THE AMOUNT PAID, EVEN THOUGH THE JOB TOOK A FEW MORE HOURS THAN EXPECTED. THE WORK WAS DONE THE DAY AFTER THE QUOTE. A+ SERVICE!!
