Judgment was that no problems were apparent upon inspection with a suggestion for further observation if the problem reappeared. Chimney was also cleaned to ensure as further assurance

Arrived one hour early (not necessarily a good thing).  Took 10 minutes to complete the job.  Tried to sell over $1000 of additional work.  Hard to trust someone who only looked at your chimney for 10 minutes.
Response from American Professional Chimney & Masonry
"I will contact you about your estimate. 10 minutes is not much time, but then it really doesn't take too long to look up and down a chimney. However, I am not pleased with the fact that the estimator was not able to explain what he saw, provide photos of your chimney and leave you feeling comfortable with the process and with himself. I will definitely speak to them about the situation and how you feel about it. I apologize and want you to know I will do everything I can to prevent this situation from recurring. Out clients trust us because of our reputation and our great reviews and they deserve the best of care. Dave Myers, owner"

In spite of the fact that they did no work for me, outside of inspecting my chimneys, I was pleased with their attention to the peculiarities of my house and felt they were very knowledgeable.

They (two technicians) were scheduled to arrive at 10 a,m, but arrived about five minutes early which, of course, was good. They finished, handed me the paperwork, told me about more work I need to have done to the chimney and firebox (totaling additional $590) that their company can do and, when I told them I'd think about it, they left.  By then it was10:20 a.m. That, of course, was not so good. It felt like it was done too quickly for them to have done a good job.  Also, it felt like they were just there to drum up more business. There is another chimney sweep company that we usually use and I wish I had used them this time instead of going for the Angie's List "deal."
Response from American Professional Chimney & Masonry
"Many of our reviews mention our no pressure approach to estimating. We can provide you with photos of the defects we saw, if you'd like. Depending on the type of fireplace and damper you have, 20 minutes is not unusual for a chimney cleaning, but I will look into who was out and what exactly transpired to make sure that a thorough job was done. I would like to re-examine your chimney to see the severity of the defects and the cleanliness of your chimney. We strive for 100% satisfaction and I see we have work to do to achieve that here. Thanks for your comments, Dave Myers, owner"

I knew the 62 year old chimney needed tuckpointing, flashing reparis, a new cement crown as well as a new ss liner.  They gave me a quote for the services and didn't try to sell me anything un-necessary.  I'm an Architect and do building inspections, so I know what to look for.  They did a very good job, Showed up when promised and completed when promised.  They called to arrange everything, very professional.  I would contract with them again and found them through Angies List.

They did come on time and did 1/2 of the work the first day.  They had to come back to do the waterproofing and that was delayed a couple of days due to rain.  They discounted their originally quoted price but then would not accept the Angie's list coupon.  I wasn't completely satisfied that I got the best price for this work.
Response from American Professional Chimney & Masonry
"I'm sorry you were not able to redeem your coupon. It is true that the coupons are not useable in conjunction with other discounts, but you can certainly get the cost of the coupon refunded directly from Angie's List. That having been said, I will look into the circumstances and see if I can assist you in some way. For the benefit of other members, I suggest you call us before purchasing a coupon, if you have any questions regarding it use. Thanks for the good grades despite your coupon issue. Your remarks provided us with food for thought which will help us assist members in the future. Dave Myers, owner Dave Myers, owner"

The gentleman was very friendly and professional.  I purchased the chimney inspection and sweep but ended up not needing to have it done.  We purchased our home in October of 2013 and just wanted to make sure everything looked good and was in good order.  Even though they were here for less than 15 minutes I was glad to have a professional tell us everything looked good and we could use our fireplace safely.
Response from American Professional Chimney & Masonry
"I'm sure the guys informed you of this, but just in case, I want you to know you can get a refund for your coupon by contacting Angie's list. Thank you so much for the awesome review we look forward to seeing you for your annual chimney cleaning. Dave Myers, owner"

They arrived on time, performed the service as advertised, and were very professional. They even did a little extra job on the higest part of the roof so I didn't have to borrow a ladder and do it myself. Great company and great group of guys.
Response from American Professional Chimney & Masonry
"Thanks for the wonderful remarks. We are extremely fortunate to have such an awesome group of individuals in our employ. Over many years, we have found that reinforcing the desire of good people to treat each person and each project with TLC creates an environment where a "great bunch of guys" can thrive."

the service was great. they arrived on time. They called before they came to say they were on their way. All work was completed when they said it would be. Workers cleaned up after themselves and left the place looking clean and neat.
Response from American Professional Chimney & Masonry
"Thanks for the clear and concise review! I am truly humbled by the volume of A's we are continually receiving. I was recently asked who was at the source of our outstanding review history. I answered, Catherine, the manager. For a business the size of ours, which receives hundreds of reviews per year, to get A after A is truly an amazing feat. Catherine has hired most of our employees and has been the business' general manager for many years. Every single crew gets outstanding reviews. That is amazing! Thank you, Catherine and thank you,Angie's List membership! Dave Myers, owner"
