Description of Work: Quite pleased with the work done by American Chimney. They cleaned my chimney and did some repair work to the crown. In addition, they replaced some cracked bricks. All work was done to my satisfaction, and they did a great job with clean up.

Thanks for the great review. Clean up is an important part of our work. It is particularly important in this profession because soot is such a messy substance! Dave Myers, owner

Description of Work: We purchased a chimney cleaning service using a coupon through Angie's List. The workers arrived on time, were thorough, professional and left everything very neat. While talking to them, I mentioned that we had trouble manipulating the damper (which is on top of the chimney). They told me that many people found it hard to open and close, and that they now had a replacement mechanism that made it much easier. They showed me a model, and my husband and I agreed to have it installed. Since they did not have the part on the truck, they gave me a price for a return visit that matched what it would have been had they been able to install that day. They came back within a week and did the extra work. It was a different crew, but again they arrived on time, were very professional, and left everything immaculate. We couldn't be more pleased and plan to use them again for regular chimney maintenance.

Thanks for the good grades. I noticed a C for price. I guess one's view of a price depends on one's perspective. $119.00 for a chimney cleaning and inspection, requiring to men for ladder safety, seems quite reasonable to me and when there are dead animals to remove, I really believe it's a great price. (That is really nasty work!) These are just my thoughts and I certainly appreciate your leaving a review. Next time you need your chimney cleaned, feel free to call me personally and I will see what can be done to save you a few extra dollars. Dave Myers, owner

Description of Work: New retainer wall in front of my house with cinder block and brick, new steps regulation size that lead to my porch (the old ones were to narrow) they also repaired the steps that lead from the sidewalk up to the house. It went very well, in fact I'm in the process of getting an estimate for the back of home to be done.

Description of Work: They did not show up for my scheduled appointment. When I called, the office staff was incredibly rude and acted like they were doing me a favor sending someone out that day, which I needed because I had taken the day off work to meet them. The appointment was for 10am, they arrived at 4:45, and spent approximately 15 minutes working on the fireplace. They said they went up and checked my chimney (amazing since they had only been there 15 minutes), and told me I needed hundreds of dollars worth of work that I subsequently found out I absolutely did not need.

Hi, this is Dave Myers the owner. We checked our database and cannot find any record of having worked for you or having worked at the address you provided. It looks like you may have left a review for the wrong company, but I am not sure. If you would, please call me so we can figure this out. I know Angie's List sends out requests for review to me for firms I have never done business with, perhaps that happened here. Dave Myers, owner

Description of Work: I have worked in customer service for a long time and I am considered a hard person to please. Catherine Wilson and her team rendered me speechless. They are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. They were very prompt, extremely professional and considerate. They did quite a bit of work on my chimney inside and out. They showed up when promised and went above and beyond their duties. I would use them again in a heartbeat. AMAZING!

Thanks for the A review. I did notice you snuck in a B for price :) You'll have to trust me on my next comment. When we send two guys out to do a small repair on somebody's house, between gas and vehicle maintenance and insurance, there's not much money to be made on a $150.00 repair. But I thank you for the B on price, apparently you have an appreciation for that. Dave Myers, owner
