Description of Work: Recemented the chimney cap. They inspected fireplace about 3 weeks earlier and forgot to schedule the follow up appt as planned. But they gave a Ten year warranty on the cement work which is reassuring. The temps at night were falling below 40 so I was worried the cement wouldn't cure properly. I would have given them a better rating if they had followed up in more timely fashion. Howard was good and didn't do unnecessary work.

[Member Name Removed] is great. Thanks for the good review. Sorry about not calling you and thanks for calling us to follow up! Don't worry about cement in 40 degree weather. Cool weather is great for cement products! When it drops under 32 degrees , we use a special additive to prevent freeze damage, but at 40 there are no issues at all. Dave Myers, owner

Description of Work: We accepted an Angie's list $99 cleaning & inspection of our chimney; house built in 1950's. They arrived 15 minutes early and went right to work. When done, they gave me an estimate for about $3K in work. I was quite skeptical. Then that guru pulled out a smartphone and walked me through the estimate line by line, with photos and videos of everything. By the time we were done, I could not argue one item and had felt I had walked my roof, climbed in my chimney and had inspected it personally. After checking other options, we decided to accept their proposal and they came out on 11/6th to begin this massive work. Again, they arrived right on time and started right in. We got a new 14' liner, broke out all old bricks inside, replaced it all, added liner and "stuff" around it, replaced the damper, new crown at top, and masonry joints fixes. Took two days to complete and then had to wait 3 days to finish outside masonry due to rain. They are so polite, thorough and patient when I'd have questions of curiosity as to how or why they did something in a particular way. They were incredibly neat and knew just how to make a huge dusty mess that never once came inside the house. Absolutely delightful staff in their office and onsite. The results are amazing. Totally pleased and confident my hard earned (and cherished) $$s were well spent in every way. I highly recommend this company for any and all chimney work needed. (They are also tolerant of dogs. I have 3 and all 3 wanted to play with them. "Dog approved.")

Description of Work: They came to do an inspection and a cleaning. The two gentlemen were polite and went about their business. They did note some issues with the chimney and said that while I don't have to fix it right away, I am going to have to fix it soon. They did their job, cleaned the chimney, and left me with an estimate for the work should I decide to get it done. They left the location as clean as it was when they came.

Description of Work: The Angie's list coupon was for an inspection and cleaning. They found many issues during the inspection. They gave a quote and recommended I reach out for additional quotes (so I did). Their service and quote was the most comprehensive and treated me with respect. The workmen who came were professional, timely and respectful. They cleaned up after themselves and went above and beyond in their work.

Thanks for the "no pressure" review. Chimney repairs can be expensive if there is the need for major work. We are obliged to inspect each chimney and give a thorough report. However, we are not obliged to apply sales pressure, so we don't. That, excellent reviews, conscientious employees and the most experienced technical expert in the industry (42 years experience) is what differentiates us from our competition.

Thanks for the great review! I have a woodstove as well. I actually use it as my primary source of heat and save me thousands of dollars a year. It sounds like you're in great shape. Enjoy your woodstove. Incidentally a lot of tree services will drop off wood for free, if you don't mind splitting it. Dave Myers, owner

Description of Work: Work was performed quickly and professionally, and they were knowledgeable. There were some scheduling issues with the office (aside from weather-related reschedules; they understandably can't go up on the roof when it's rainy and slippery), but these were addressed quickly and easily. They went above and beyond to make sure our repairs were completed on-time. Would happily work with them again.

Thanks for the great review and you're mentioning that we went above and beyond the call of duty! The chimney business, in the fall through January is an absolute madhouse. That is no exaggeration. Chimney companies are booked up and anytime an employee gets sick or it rains or snows or a truck breaks down there are great difficulties getting caught up with the workload. all of our cruise work 10 to 12 hours a day six days a week and on numerous occasions they work seven days a week. thanks for understanding this and again thank you for your wonderful review. We do our best to accommodate everybody and I truly believe each and everyone of our employees to be a person of outstanding character. Catherine, the manager, and I have spoken on numerous occasions about how fortunate we are to have such wonderful people working for us. When you have employees of great character, do you have the foundation for a great business. I learned that from Joe Gibbs, the Hall of Fame former coach of the Washington Redskins, who reiterated that on numerous occasions. Dave Myers, owner
