They were on time and very pleasant. However, they did not spend much time on my roof. I'm not sure if they actually cleaned my chimney or not. When they came down they gave me an estimate for $1700. It made me very wary. I cant go up on my roof and they didn't show me any pictures of the things that needed fixing. When I tried to ask questions the answer I seemed to get was "I'm the professional, just trust me." They sent me an email copy of the estimate saying I needed to replace the stainless steel liner for 1350 and the crown, tuck point the brick and reinstall the chimney cap for 350. I do plan on checking into this to see if its something I actually need done. I would have felt a lot better about the situation if they showed me proof of what they were saying since I have no way to check for myself.

I will see who went out to your home. He should have offered photos or to return with a camera, if he didn't have one with him. I think the "D" is harsh, but I do understand how you feel. We will call you tomorrow and see if we can take a few pictures for you. I really dislike the, "I'm a professional, trust me." Whoever said that will be corrected! Thanks for letting us know your feelings. If anyone is ever displeased with any aspect of our service, if you would be so kind as to please contact us BEFORE leaving a review, we will do everything we can to rectify the situation promptly. You can then enter one review detailing your entire experience. In that way you will receive the best possible service and we will receive a review that is fair and comprehensive. One aspect of great customer service is providing the best possible experience to our clients. The other is prompt, courteous and satisfactorily handling of customer questions and concerns Dave Myers, owner My personal cell phone number is available for all Angie's List members. Feel free to call me anytime for any reason at all. It is 202-468-5506

I was very happy with this company. They provided a complete estimate - including highlighting services they felt were optional. Their team was very prompt and efficient. The work was very messy - and they took extra care to avoid any remaining dust and soot.

I called American Professional Chimney and Masonry Specialists directly and scheduled an appt. for an estimate to install a Top damper and estimate of other services. The appt. was scheduled and a time was Set. The office called late afternoon the day before to verify and give a window of arrival. The day of the appt. the 3 Technicians actually called, to see if I was available for them to come earlier, as they were ahead of their schedule. They looked over the job, verified the work I wanted, took and showed me pictures of the chimney work needed, gave me an estimate, which I accepted and they got right to work. They installed the Top Damper and showed me how to use it. I used a Coupon from Angies list and we called the office to set up the rest of the work. Since we needed good weather NO Rain, we set the appt. with the possibility of having to change. Since the weather didn't cooperate, the office called me and we reset the appt. Again the 2 Technicians arrived on time and got right to work. Upon completion, they again took photos, showed me the work, and answered my questions. The Techs were pleasant, polite and didn't waste time. They also kept everything clean. Since the work required was over a certain price amount I was able to use a coupon they offered on this list. I am very pleased with this companies service. The Office Staff and the Technicians were pleasant , polite and efficient. I would definitely use their service again.

Thanks for the very detailed review. Everyone that works here is a conscientious, well mannered and good hearted person. Catherine and I are frequently bringing up how fortunate we are to have such wonderful people working for us. Though it's been that way for over 15 years, it wasn't always like that. We' had our growing pains. Now most of the guys working fo us now are either related or have close ties within their communities and alll of our employees are committed to excellent customer service. But mistakes can and do happen from time to time. I sincerely ask that if anyone is ever even slightly dissatisfied with any aspect of our service, that they call me or Catherine BEFORE leaving a review eo give us the opportunity to make things right. Doing so and providing a review that includes our responsiveness to your concerns would enable other members to see our total commitment to customer satisfaction. Thanks so much for the wonderful review. Dave Myers, owner Personal cell # 202-468-5596

I purchased a chimney sweep from this company in one of the daily deals. They called me the next day to setup an appointment right away. The crew came out the next day and preformed the work. My main concern with the work was cleanliness and they did a very good job. I would even say that the area around my fireplace was cleaner after they left then when they arrived.They also did an inspection and told me there are a few minor issues with my chimney I should get fixed, the B for responsiveness is from them not following up on this work.

Thanks for the excellent review. We will contact you immediately and set up an appointment to perform your desired repairs. The guys may have forgotten to mention to Catherine that you wanted the work done. If you did not so indicate, we apologize, but we don't necessarily call clients that do not express an interest in having estimated repair work done. We allow them to call us at their convenience.. This is because we practice a non pressure sales policy. We've heard stories of how other firms continually call people, over and over, to see if they can "force" a sale. We will not do that. Sorry for the mix up and thanks for giving us the A's where you felt we deserved it. A little constructive criticism goes a long way, too. So thanks for the B as well!

The company suggested that we do some other things to the chimney, however at this time I cannot afford the complete repairs. They tackled with the essential repair which was the outer structure of the chimney. They did a great job and the price was lower than some other places quoted us. Fast and courteous team- would definitely use again for the additional repairs. Highly recommended.

They are very good. They came when they said they are going to come. They did the inspection and they said that they did not need to do the more expensive job that I had agreed to, I thought that was nice. Having done the lower level inspection they said that there was no need for them to do the other since everything was perfect. They were ethical and they were reasonable.
Description of Work: I have used American Professional Chimney & Masonry to do chimney inspection. I had asked for a second level inspection which has cameras inside the chimney.

This company was very professional. Multiple calls were made throughout the process to confirm times and availability. Estimate was provided and I accepted later the same day. I scheduled the installation about 3 business days after the estimate. The custom stainless steel Chase cover was made over this time and installed. I believe the installer's name was Emanuel. He was on time, confirmed the work prior to installation, worked hard and finished in a reasonable amount of time. More importantly, he took photos before, during and after the installation. I received a call later that day to confirm my satisfaction of the work. Again, the entire company was very professional from start to finish.

Thanks for The Page of Happiness! If any one ever feels our service is less than excellent in any category, we ask that you call us before leaving your review. See if we can't prove our commitment to you. You can then leave a review that describes the entire customer service process. Complaint satisfaction is as important as great service. In my younger days I worked at Hill and Sanders Ford while cleaning & repairing chimneys on the evenings and weekends. I learned there the importance of customer satisfaction. We won the Ford Motors President's Award for Customer Service Excellence in an industry that is quite demanding. Thanks again, Dave Myers, owner

I will definitely see what can be done to avoid the smoke issue at the time of installation, making the second trip unnecessary. That's not convenient for either of us. Thanks for the review and for the A's and B's. Hopefully when we clean your chimney next year we can get all A's.

The company was very responsive and pleasant to work with. Catherine, the manager, was especially nice and responsive. The workmen, Rudy and all, arrived on time and explained the steps, and were patient with my questions. The original estimate was for outside repair only, but removing the outside bricks showed cracks in the lining. As a result the cost doubled but the company provided discounts which saved me a couple of hundred dollars. Rudy's workmanship in repairing the outside was excellent. While I cannot judge the work performed to replace the inside lining, if the outside is any indication then I believe they did an excellent job inside. Overall, I am very pleased with having hired this company and would use them again as well as recommend them.
Description of Work: Outside chimney rebuild because of cracks, several bricks were missing, and mortor was deteriorating. Later it was discovered that the inside lining was cracked and needed replacement.

Thanks for the perfect review. We irritated 2 prospective clients recently by declining to travel out of our service area and we received very negative remarks for declining and it made me kind of nervous. We are trying to get in touch with them and see if we can service them. I never thought declining to travel so far would result in a review, one way or the other. Live and learn. I'm just happy to see a couple of awesome reviews where we did the work. That is our goal with every job we do.

Please read the the text above.
Description of Work: I had no services performed. I called American Professional Chimney and Masonary based soley on the A overall rating off of Angie's List. However, the woman answering the phone was extremely unprofessional. First, she answered using a speaker phone making it hard to understand. Second, I was placed on hold. Third, when she returned and I asked her if they did work in Huntingtown, MD., and she had no idea as she did not know where Huntingtown was. When she looked it up on a map, she still thought it was below Waldorf in Charles County. Huntingtown is in Calvert County. When I suggested she look up the distance from Hyattsville to Huntingtown, she seemed unsure as to how to do that on the computer. At that point I stated I will call later. Maybe. I am willing to try this business if I could speak to someone who is more professional.

Maybe I should see your review as a positive event. "Prospective client gets very upset to learn that we do not travel far enough to give them our Super Service Award Winning Service" (We won four awards, one in every category of service we provide.) However, we are guilty of using a speaker phone from time to time, placing customers on hold briefly, when necessary and not knowing where Huntingtown, MD is. Carroll County is not our strong suit and not listed as one of our service areas on our Angie's List profile page. All kidding aside, I will contact you and see if I can personally accommodate your request. I enjoy a ride out to the country once in a while and I also work very hard to please everyone. In the mean time, enjoy country living - tranquility, seclusion and a galaxy of stars to gaze. Nature at its best!

Besides the strength and beauty of the stainless steel chimney / flue, my family received a Senor Citizens 15% discount. Thank you American Professional Chimney ,Masonry and Home Repair. Thank you Angie's List for the recommendation! The demolition went on schedule with ALL the debris removed the same day! The Class A Stainless Steel chimney is beautiful.
Description of Work: They have scheduled the demolition of a 40 year old damaged brick chimney. They will remove all the debris (800 plus bricks) in (1) day. On the following day, American Professional plans to erect a Stainless Steel Class A (double walled) steel 20 ft. replacement chimney. The time from obtaining the building permit to start of work is to be 2 days. Office manager Catherine Wilson and proprietor Dave Myer have been most responsive and professional.

I am convinced I can control the water problem with other, signficantly less expensive solutions.
Description of Work: Paid $59 for an evaluation as to why I was getting water in my basement. Some companies will come out for free and evaluate/estimate repairs. I paid $59 with a featured Angie's Big Deal, hoping to get a more objective evaluation of the problem. The person who visited was friendly and knew his business, but I'm afraid I just got another company trying to sell me repairs. They quoted me $20,000.

It seems unfair that you gave us an F on price because you were impressed by Neil's expertise and you knew the fee was $59.00 before requesting the evaluation. He verbally offered to put in a sump pump system for a $6,000, but you didn't want to relocate your tenant. There were future possibilities of mold occurring since the walls were damaged as well, so we offered non invasive extensive exterior excavation and a waterproof membrane with a gravel and perforated piping waterproofing system as well as a very long gravity drain. Your house is large and gravity drainage would require a 70 to 80 feet of additional excavation and the additional drainage lines. All of this was to be hand dug to prevent further wall damage and extensive damage to the landscape. The other companies you have consulted with have not been able to provide a low cost solution for your basement issues. If you do find one, please let me know what it is. New technological advances are always occurring and we like to keep abreast of them. We will send you a low cost interior option as we verbally indicated, but there will be disclaimers for mold and you will have to relocate you tenant for several days. Sorry we weren't able to please you from the start. Dave Myers, owner

Very nice people. Arrived on time, worked efficiently to clean and inspect fireplace, then climbed on the roof to check the condition of the chimney. I was impressed at how careful they were not to leave any dirt in the room. They gave me a detailed report of the condition of the structure, verbally and in writing, as well as an estimate of needed repairs for the future. The estimate was reasonable and I will call them later in the summer/early fall to work on the repairs and conversion from gas to wood.

Overall the entire process was smooth!
Description of Work: We knew we had to do a chimney sweep and inspection as we have not done it in a long time. We decided to go with this company because I feel that true reviews go further than anything that you hear. I felt that they were an honest company at a fair price and it turned out to be accurate. They had great communication from the start to making the appointment to the finish line. They were on time and had an easy time frame to deal with, nothing like a 5 hour window or anything. We did ended up needing repair of our liner inside the chimney so they gave us a quote after the sweep and inspection. I would reccomend this company to others.

I had originally planned to do this myself and spent considerable time researching the process online. However, with my workload I decided to let American Professional Chimney do the work - and I'm glad I did. Brian and Ronaldo came out and discussed exactly what needed to be done, gave me a quote and set a date for the work. They came out on time, repaired my chimney and totally lived up to my expectations. The bottom line is that they renewed my faith that there really are excellent contractors out there. I can't think of a thing that would have made the experience any easier or better.
Description of Work: The chimney crown had deteriorated and was removed and replaced with a new cement one. The flue was extended and a new raincap was installed. Finally, the chimney from the roofline up was scrubbed and treated with a water repellent.

After purchasing the Angie's Big Deal for a chimney sweep and inspection ($99), I knew the fireplace and chimney were in desperate need of repairs. After 40+ years of neglect and lack of any service , what else could I have expected. The two techs were courteous and professional and arrived within the scheduled timeframe. The 5-hour job was very labor intensive. I still am amazed how one could stand in the fairly small fireplace to parge the smoke chamber. I also love the new stainless steel Lock-top damper after having to have dealt with a rusted and broken cast iron damper for years. I fell the price was fair considering the amount of work that was done. The job site was left clean. Very satisfied with this company.

They were very professional, wore booties, used drop cloths, and cleaned up completely after themselves. After they did their work, they explained everything they had done and what they found. We apparently had a very clean chimney to begin with since the previous owners hadn't used the fireplace. But it was good to know that everything was safe and in good working order.
Description of Work: This was an Angie's List Big Deal for a fireplace and chimney cleaning and inspection. The workers cleaned the entire chimney through the fireplace and inspected the chimney (even though it was raining!).

Friendly, accommodating to my schedule not once but twice (had to cancel the first appointment due to rain), on time and tidy and professional. One never really knows how dirty the chimney is but I do feel better having it cleaned now and again. Will likely have them look at another chimney that needs repairs this summer.

Sometimes people are surprised how quickly a chimney cleaning can be accomplished. It depends a lot on the construction and the degree of build up. Prefabricated or metal chimneys like many in Montgomery Village are generally some of the easiest to clean and only take about fifteen to twenty minutes. The powdery soot build up on those just falls right off. There is no damper shelf to clean and the dampers do not come out so all you do is run the brushes up and down and vacuum up the soot. Hope this explanation helps. Dave Myers, owner
