Description of Work: They were excellent. First Brian came and review the situation, giving me a very accurate description of the problem and solution, which involved calling a plumber. He then accepted to coordinate the works with the plumber. They came on time, were super clean, changed the liner and the connecting pipes to the water heater. They also fixed the mortar joints from the roof line. They were excellent and I highly recommend them.

Description of Work: I have dragged my heals on writing this review because I really want their to be a middle choice between thumbs up and thumbs down. It's such a limitation of angieslist to only provide two options. | |My issues were: I made VERY clear that I wasn't available until after a certain time because of a napping baby and they promised on the phone they understood. Then they showed up early and asked to do it early. I reluctantly let them in, and they said they just wouldn't vacuum the chimney since she was sleeping but would just clean it without vacuuming. I wanted the full chimney cleaning so I had them vacuum- it seemed like such a non-solution for them to offer to not do their job since they came early. The whole thing took about five minutes and they were about to leave without inspecting the chimney until I asked about it (our home inspector had found problem areas in the chimney. So they inspected and wrote something up. It seemed they just wanted to get in and out as quickly as possible without regard for my time or doing the job well. However, they did seem friendly and I think the chimney was clean afterward, so I'd like to give them a half-thumb instead of an up or down thumb.

I am sorry to hear that the jobdidn't go as planned. The office staff should have written very clearly to not call or arrive early on your work order. They did not. I think the offer to clean carefully with no vacuum was to not wake the baby. The vacuum doesn't do any of the cleaning so not using it would not have "lessened" the degree of soot removed. It is not like when you vacuum a carpet. Without a vacuum you aren't cleaning the carpet. During a chimney cleaning, the vacuum is used to remove what falls down after the chimney is brushed out. The soot can just as easily be swept up with a dust pan and whisk broom. But really if they would have waited a bit and arrived at the scheduled time, I'm sure they would have used the vacuum as usual and then inspected the chimney as well. That just felt awkward knowing the baby was trying to sleep. If there's anything I can do, come by and take a look myself or anything else, just give me a call. Thanks for leaving a review.

Description of Work: Outstanding contractor. Delivered what was promised on time and within budget budget.Removed a major portion of an old defective and failing brick chimney. Remove an old poorly functioning aluminum liner, rebuilt the chimney using new bricks and installed a new stainless steel liner so that the chimney now meets code.Remove an old tin flue that would keep the new liner from be installed properly, a very difficult job. Rudy,the lead technician was knowable, professional and a superior craftsman. Howard the estimator explained what was required and why the recommended work need to be done. The company is well managed and has excellent customer service and billing personnel. I would recommend this company without reservation.

Thank you so very much for your detailed review. We retain most of our employees for decades and are fortunate to have individuals of outstanding character in our employ. A friend of mine and I started working on chimneys in 1973 and then started this business in 1979 and I have been the sole owner since 1982. Our 100% commitment to customer service excellence, our low turn over rate and taking a personal stand for the greatness of our employees, has been instrumental in our success as a service company. I thank Catherine, the manager and her office staff and all of our field employees each chance I get. Dave Myers, owner

Description of Work: They clean the chimney and swept out the ashes and cleaned the fireplace. They inspected the tiles and stated that they would have to be replaced at a future point. Explained how this was done and gave an estimate for 30 days. They were very professional and did a good job. I will recommend them.

I really appreciate your straight A review. Your review is particularly impressive to me in that you understand the necessity for getting your flu's replaced and anticipate doing it in the future. But, you were not upset by learning that. Obviously, I am a consumer myself and I go to auto repair shop and get home improvements done by other firms. It can be upsetting to learn that I sometimes need to spend a large sum of money to keep things up. But, I try to keep things in their proper respective. I'm grateful to have problems of that quality . There are much more important things in life and I always try to remember how grateful I should be and for the opportunities that have been around me all my life. Could have been born in a desolate portion of it 3rd country, such as Shantytown" in Jamaica, or in a badly impoverished slum in the United States. Though I wasn't born to a wealthy family and I wasn't born in a large house, I was born with opportunity all around me . Dave Myers, owner

Description of Work: They cleaned and inspected my chimney. They gave me quotes on work that needs to be done. Don't know if the quotes are high, low or just right...need to get other estimates. This will determine if I will use them again.

Description of Work: They cleaned the chimney after we moved into our new house. They were able to come right away so we could start using our fireplace immediately! They were very professional about putting on booties to not track ash onto our new carpets, and they were even dog friendly, allowing our pet to sniff them!
