The guys doing the work were always on time and were very professional. They did a wonderful job and the wall turned out beautifully. It will be a great backdrop for our woodstove. We definitely recommend this company if you need any fireplace, chimney or stone work done around your home or business.
Description of Work: My husband and I had a stacked stone fireplace wall installed in the living area of our cabin in Flintstone, MD.

Description of Work: The quality of our chimney repair was high, however our major complaint is that it took months past when they said they'd be able to complete our job for it to actually happen. If we had lived in an area with more providers, I would have sought someone else. We scheduled in Sept and were originally told that they'd complete our job around Nov 1st, but then it kept getting pushed back (without notification) until months later (mid January).

When we bought our home part of the agreement with our home owner insurance company was that we had 30 days to remove the wood stove insert in our fireplace. We contacted Curtis Chimney and Hearth and explained our problem and we wanted to have a gas insert installed. They were very understanding and even with their busy schedule they made the time to remove the wood stove insert within that 30 day time frame. They were very knowledgable and helpful in picking out our gas insert. The day of installation we found that the manufacturer of the gas insert sent the wrong screen then the one we designed. They were quickly on the phone getting the issue resolved. The day that the correct screen came in we were not available but we had someone else at the house to give them access and they were able to apply the correct screen. They even stayed for a couple hours with the fireplace burning to assist us in burning off the residue that must be done with all new gas fireplace inserts. As messy as chimney sweep and all that type of work is they were always sure to place their trap down and clean everything up behind themselves. They explained everything to us and I know that if we have any questions or concerns they are only a phone call away.

[member name removed], Thanks for taking the time to find us on Angie's List. I regret that we won't have the opportunity to work with you, since you have declined to schedule an appointment. It's true that we're very heavily booked this time of year. I'd like to believe that's due to the fact that we're known for quality service and our services are in high demand in the Fall. If you have an emergency situation please be assured that we will do whatever we need to do to take care of you right away, but an additional fee would apply. Again, thanks for contacting us. I hope we'll have the opportunity to work together in the future. - Joel Curtis

Joel was very responsive and professional in my correspondence with him about the project. His crew, Aaron and Wayne, made the suggestion to reduce the cost of the job by reducing the height of the chimney to the height required by the building code, which reduced the cost of the job to me by over $300. They took care of all the permitting, and did an excellent job at a challenging location--a very steep roof on top of a three-story house. I was very pleased with Curtis Chimney & Hearth, and would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Repaired the top of my chimney by removing the top several courses of bricks, installing a precast concrete chimney crown, and repointing the mortar from the flashing to the top of the chimney.

Mr. Curtis came in person and inspected my chimney. He found it to be as it should. What we heard that fell in the chimney had been ampilified by the new liner that had been put in. I apologize for my previous review. I realy did not have the information I needed. should have called Mr. Curtis a second time when he did not return my call. He was very professional and did not mention my review, or that I could have made a follow up call.

This story actually begins about 5 years ago. I lived in a different house then. I needed a chimney liner installed since the house I purchased did not have one. Curtis' did a great job then and when it came time to purchase a furnace, I had to look no further. Of course we did check some prices at Lowes etc but when it comes to service and friendliness there is no comparison. Not to mention they have been doing this for almost 30yrs! Initially a representative visited my house because the owner was out of town, however Mr. Curtis himself came by and discussed a lot of options with my wife and I. He explained everything in detail. He even suggested to not bother with a blower installation as the free standing furnaces typically don't need one. He could have recommended added cost however he did not. After all my wife and I know nothing about furnaces.(we do now though). After some deliberation we chose the Regency UL39. Its awesome and quite attractive. Modern and manly, which is good for a man cave :) Curtis' men, one in particular, worked literally all day. So the cost to install is definitely worth it. Had I done it myself (some people claim they could) it would have taken me a month probably. I am quite serious. Chances are it wouldn't have worked at all if i did it. Nonetheless once installed it was beautiful! My wife loves it! The people from the propane company did not come the same day. So weeks later they did, and once again Mr. Curtis himself came to make sure all was well. He touched up some scratches in the paint and now you cant even tell. He is very meticulous and cares about the work his company does. He even helped out with the tank installation. It would have been crooked had he not spoken to the propane installer. He wanted EVERYTHING to look just perfect! And that is what my wife and I wanted as well, and we got it. He showed me how to operate the furnace and made sure I was good before even thinking of leaving. I would recommend Curtis' Chimney to ANYONE! The world needs more businesses like Curtis', it would be a much better off. My final thoughts: God Bless Mr. Curtis and his entire staff and family! Thank you!

Overall everything was fine. The original time frame was 2 days, however on the second day they were supposed to come, there was bad accident on the Interstate which prevented them from making it from MD to WV, so they have to come a day later. Overall I am pleased with the end result, if I only had one thing to say was I was under the impression that it would have been a smoother finish and look more like a stucco finish, vs what it looks like now.
Description of Work: Chimney had brick that was spalling and the chimney cap was deteriorated. They tried to find brick to match current on the house, but was unable to, as such I chose to have the chimney cap rebuilt and the chimney parged. Job took a total of 2 days. One to rebuild the cap and one to parge the chimney (2 stories tall).

Thanks for the review. I remember well the fight we had with traffic on the interstate the day of that accident! Regarding the difference between your expectations and the final result... I really value your feedback on that. I always hope to paint an accurate picture of what a customer should expect. Obviously I was less than fully successful in your case, and for that I apologize. Your feedback helps us to improve. Thank you. - Joel Curtis

In the course of the 8 years we have owned this house, I have called Curtis on average of once every 2 years. Joel Curtis has always responded in a timely fashion and with reasonable prices. He has called with approximate times and days they could respond to my house and given me options in their service. On one occasion when I had a leak in close proximity to the chimney, a faulty plywood sheathing panel was found to be at fault. However, Curtis Chimney and Hearth screwed the offending panel down and made an appropriate repair - which had nothing to do with the chimney. This is above and beyond the call of service, in my opinion.
Description of Work: My house was built in 1963 and it's quite apparent there have been major issues with the chimney prior to our ownership. The chimney is free standing on the interior of the house and watermarks are evident from the ceiling down several feet. Our first order of business was to get Curtis Chimney and Hearth make a general inspection of the flues and fireboxes of both fireplaces in the house and give any recommendations. One of the first things we did was to put caps on the flues. Then, over the course of a couple years as the house got older and faced more adverse weather, Curtis Chimney and Hearth has repaired flashing and also sealed the top of the bricks of the chimney.

Thanks for the review. I hope the last work we did for you took care of the problem... although I still wonder if you have some kind of a roofing problem. I trust you'll let me know if the problem persists. I know a roofer I could recommend if necessary. Thanks! - Joel Curtis
