After some scheduling issues, they finally got out to my place and did a nice job inspecting and cleaning. Not surprisingly I did NOT need a liner, it was nice to have afresh knowledgeable opinion.
Description of Work: I needed my Rumford fireplace inspected. We had not used it since a house fire in 2009, and at that time another r company had claimed we needed to buy a chimney liner om them, contrary to what mason told me who built it. I wanted a fresh opinion, someone who didn't know anything at all about fire etc.

I contacted the company via Angie's List and supplied them with pictures of the patio repair work that I needed. I wanted the crack repaired and the patio resurfaced. They responded by email via Angie's List and told me that one of their masonry specialist would contact me. I never heard back from them. I have called the office twice and was told again that they would get in touch with me. I have been trying since May 4 to have someone contact me it is now May 12. At this point, I am in contact with 3 other companies and will make a decision soon.

We would use the company again. They were pleasant to work with.
Description of Work: We took advantage of an Angie's special and got two fireplaces/chimneys cleaned. The two specialists who came to the door were prompt, communicated their expected arrival by about 30 minutes, and on arrival, identified themselves and got to work. They were polite, seemed competent, and finished in an efficient manner. They answered our questions, gave us a heads up about masonry deficiencies in our chimneys and left us with an estimate for repairs if we wished to go forward.

Very well. We had a potentially dangerous situation because the original damper that had been left in the chimney many years before and was harboring creosote. The repair team even took photos and a video of the repairs and cleaned chimney inside and out for our files. Also pleased to receive an Angie's LIst discount.

This is a two part review. Part 1: The team for the sweep showed up early, went straight to work and swept the chimney. After the sweep, the lead advised me that my crown had cracks and would eventually fail and need replacement unless it was sealed, and that a brick in my chimney needed to have the mortar redone. By the way, this company pointed this issue out to me last year, but I couldn't afford it. He provided me with a quote for the extra work, and included a military discount, because he noticed on my Van the DoD stickers on the windshield. The sweep was well done. Part 2: American Professional Chimney, the day before I planned to call them reminded my by email of the quote. When I replied that I wanted the work done, they sent me an electronic signature link to authorize work. They met my schedule request. And called me to confirm. The team arrive a few minutes later than planned but in my area traffic stinks. I showed them where the water and electric were, and they went straight to work. I also had a loose brick on my fireplace, they fixed that during the time they had to wait for the crown sealant to dry (and since rain occurred the team lead wanted to inspect the work to ensure no weather impact). He also texted me before and after pictures. So, I am going to give total cost overall sweep and crown repair. Sweep cost was $89. Crown sealing cost and fix mortar issues was $315. It would have cost WAY more to replace the crown.
Description of Work: Chimney sweep at end of burning season (winter). Followed by Chimney and masonry repair that was identified as part of the inspection performed during the sweep.

I'm glad to hear of the high level of attention the guys gave to your home, to the weather and just the overall way they and our office staff handled your requests. They are all great people. That's why we do so well. It shouldn't be unusual to find a company that gives great service, but it seems it is unusual sometimes. I think people get misguided and forget that we're all in this together. In this experience we call life, that is. Dave Myers, owner
