Magic Chimney Sweep followed up on a request to clean my chimney ( they originally requested this in the Fall but that was not a good time for me. I don't use the fireplace much so I wasn't concerned about holding off on any appoinment for several months. I the meantime Angies offered a Deal for inspection of fireplaces along with a cleaning. I took dvantage of that and completely forgot that Magic was scheduled to call me. I took the suggestions that were made from the previous supplier who I paid for the inspection and cleaning and asked if Magic would be willing to look and give me their suggestion and quote. Eric and his helper Rob were very professional and their price a little better so they did the work. I was pleased overal!

The staff was very professional, and got right to work. We had a lot of questions that they were happy to answer. They suggested some work in our older home that we might consider in the future. I will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: We had had both flues of our chimney inspect and one was cleaned.

IRRESPONSIBLE. Our chimney has two flues, one for the fireplace and the other for the oil-fired furnace. Magic chimney has been coming for years to sweep our chimney. Turns out they only clean the fireplace flue and never told me that. It finally occurred to me to ask them about it at this service.They told me not to worry about it. Well, it turns out that the furnace exhaust is much nastier than that of firewood and we very much needed to keep up with that. On another note, they are relatively high pressure sales folks for their services. If you don' t like that, choose another company.
Description of Work: they cleaned half of our chimney

While working on my neighbor's chimney 2 of the boards fell off the top of the scaffolding and hit my back porch, chain link fence, damaged vinyl window frame and ripped kitchen window screen. When I brought this to their attention they were already in my neighbor's yard, looking at the damages. At that time, the 40lb scaffolding boards were in my neighbor's yard because he picked them up. I asked that they take pictures of every thing that was damaged (and they did and so did I). When I followed up with several phone calls I never received any feedback on what the company was planning to do to reimburse me for the damage. Finally 3 months later I spoke with some one who told me they were only going to give me a $100 dollars to fix the damages. I told her that wouldn't enough, and to come down and see for herself. She told me "if we're in the neighborhood in a year or two... we might stop by." After hearing that I was shocked. I just want the damages fix. I can't believe that process has been so difficult. My insurance company is also trying to get my $500 deductible back from them as well, but they won't call my agent back. I think my only option is to go to court. But if I do go to court, I will sue for more then $500. I will try for the maximum. This could have been a simple fix but, they refuse to work with me.

Response from Magic Chimney Sweep
We have never done any work for her. We were working at the house next to hers. She claimed one of our boards fell into her yard. We looked at the damage that she said was done, it was a small tear in a screen and a scratch in a rail of the deck. We have no way of telling if this was prior damage, the over all condition of her deck and fence was in poor shape and looked very old. She also claimed her fence was damaged but her fence was in bad shape all around not just where we were working, and could not have been done by our equipment. We do not feel the damage was our fault, but we did make an offer of good faith in the amount of $100 to cover the cost repair, the screen would have cost $18 to get fixed and she refused. She filed a complaint with the Maryland Home Improvement Commission and the Better Business Bureau that were found to have no merit. We have made an offer that was fair, for the damage she said we did. Karen Pritchett-Office Manager

Had our chimney swept by another company, who reported to us that the lining of the chimney was falling in and gave us an estimate to repair it. We contacted Magic Chimney Sweeps, and the were out the next day to provide an estimate. Eric was polite and professional, and took the time to explain all that they were going to do. He also took digital photos of the chimney insides and showed them to us, something the other company didn't do. Their estimate was considerably less than the first company, so we went with Magic based on service and price. Less than a week later the new insert was installed, and the job was done. Can't say enough good about these guys--they did a great job and were prompt, polite, professional, and thorough.
Description of Work: Replaced the collapsed liner to our chimney with a steel insert.

Description of Work: Magic Chimney did a great job with the chimney on our home in September 2010. We had it inspected by another chimney company that wasn't available to perform the repairs we needed within our timeframe and Magic Chimney was the first company we called after that. They reinspected the chimney at no extra cost and performed the repairs at a lower cost than the other chimney company had offered. Very professional - from Jackie, the receptionist, to John (who is also the General Manager) who reinspected, to Eric, who was very communicative in every step of the repair and did a masterful job. We couldn't have been happier and we recommend them for their honesty, outstanding customer service and fine workmanship.

I THINK FOR THE MONEY I PAID THE SERVICE WAS LACKING AT BEST. THE WHOLE PROCESS TOOK ABOUT 15 MINUTES. THEY GOT UP ON THE ROOF AND RAN A ROUND BRUSH DOWN THE CHIMNEY ABOUT THREE TIMES. THEY THEN BRUSHED THE FLUE WITH A HAND HELD BRUSH. THEY TRIED TO SELL ME A 300 DOLLAR CHEMICAL TREATMENT. WHEN I REFUSED, THEY VACUUMED AND LEFT.

I CALLED MAGIC CHIMNEY SWEEPS ORIGINALLY TO REPAIR THE INTERIOR OF THE FIREBOX OF FIREPLACE. IN TALKING WITH THE SERVICEMAN ABOUT MY HAVING TO LEAVE THE DAMPER OPEN ALL THE TIME BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN INSTALLED SO HIGH UP THAT I COULD NOT REACH IT TO CLOSE, HE TOLD ME THAT HE COULD INSTALL A CAP THAT WOULD OPERATE BY A SPRING LOADED CHAIN. IT WAS JUST THE BEST THING FOR ME TO HAVE.
Description of Work: MAGIC CHIMNEY SWEEPS REPAIRED THE FIREBOX OF MY FIREPLACE. THE BUILDER HAD DONE A POOR JOB. THEY ALSO INSTALLED A CHIMNEY CAP AS THE DAMPER WAS INSTALLED SO HIGH UP IN THE CHIMNEY THAT I COULD NOT REACH IT TO CLOSE.
