Eric and Riley did a great job for a very fair price, diagnosing and fixing of several problems that popped up. For anyone worried about price gouging, they showed a lot of integrity by replacing parts at no extra cost when they easily could have gotten by keeping mismatched but functioning accessories. Also, it is not cost-effective to dig into the gas lines and the firebox just to sell an upgrade. Outside work such as installing a color-coordinated chimney cap might yield a profit. Chimney Sweeps are very busy. I recommend getting on the books early or doing an off-season inspection. My fireplace is up and running, but I plan to get a level 2 inspection to have more knowledge and peace of mind about the house. In hindsight, I should have gotten a nicer log set, but I wanted to keep costs down in case I had to spend more on repairs.

Eric & Riley were our service guys, and they did everything right!… These guys laid down tarps on the flooring throughout the house in order to get to the fireplace. They installed a BEAUTIFUL gas log fireplace for us. Looks very real and we are so very happy with it. Even after it was done they rechecked to make certain everything was safe and no gas was leaking out. They also went over all of the amazing features and safety features it has on it too. I’m feeling much safer after hearing all about it.— While here we had them service our basement gas fireplace. Eric noticed some issues that weren’t up to snuff, he took pictures to document everything and went over it with us. He redid the venting and also repainted the interior black, he noticed some rusting starting to happen. So happy and GRATEFUL for these two men and the jobs they did for us yesterday. We will surely be using them from now on.— Happy holidays to you guys! Big Thank you!!!

The mark of a good service company is the lack of need to take on an additional project (clean up) after the project is completed. This is definitely the case with CJW Chimney Sweep! Greg and Will placed runners all the way from the front door to the fireplace completely covering the tile and wood floor that was trafficked. In addition the entire fireplace hearth was covered. After their efficient professional work, there was NOTHING left to clean up. This is very highly appreciated which is exactly why we are repeat customers.

Eric and Mark performed the work, were professional, took time to explain things, and did an excellent job. Also impressed how they laid down blankets to avoid leaving dirt on carpet or wood floors. We had not had the unit serviced in the 15 years we lived here, so it needed it. They completely cleaned up the firebox and hardware, and took extra time to clean out the venting on the outside which had hornet and bee nests embedded in them (likely causing our problem of the flame going out after 10 minutes of operation). Then put everything back together and tuned the flame. Unit works great and problem solved. Very pleased with the service performed.

Usually, I don't give recommendation but I had to do it this time because of amazing professionalism that this company has. I was in touch with Chuck at CJW where I gave him a report around my house. He explained to me on how to exactly proceed with this issue. He was extremely professional, honest and most importantly guided me through exactly on what' needs to be done. I am definitely recommending this place to anyone and everyone i know.

The technicians arrived at the scheduled time and called prior to indicate they were on their way. They were professional in performing the service. Floor coverings and technician shoe coverings were used to prevent soiling or damaging my carpet. I was pleased with the finished product and will use the services of CJW & Associates again . Kudos to technicians Eric and Greg.

You have got to be kidding !!! I personally spent hours looking for you custom made cap that does not exist because you said it came that way from the manufacturer . I was in constant communication the entire time and when i found out we could not help you i sent you an email letting you know where we stand. Its not our fault the world is shut down due to the virus and getting answers and talking to someone is next to impossible in this industry at this time. We have never charged you a dime and have done nothing but try to help you. Please remove this review as you can see we have tried very hard to do the right thing for all of our customers in the last 30 years. We now have 4 bad reviews. The 3 others were just hateful people that didn't get what they wanted. Please don't tell me your one of those. Mr [Member Name Removed] you would think being that your a rev. with a degree you would understand and have a little compassion in your life. Please remove this review as soon as possible Chuck CJW Chimney

Really great. Even though there was an issue with the first go at the custom cap, a second one was ordered and installed within days of the originally scheduled install date. They made it worry-free and kept us informed throughout. Recommended them to my neighbors. Kevin and Perlita

The entire experience from booking with CJW to having the service performed was all great. The techs who came actually were significantly early but called ahead to be sure that early was okay. They were very careful to protect our walls and carpet and seemed quite thorough in their cleaning and inspecting. I would definitely go to them again and would recommend CJW to others.

We are a repeat customer of CJW and will continue to be. The team leader who has always done the job is Brad. He is very professional and knowledgeable and efficient in his job. And it's always nice seeing a familiar face - it tells you a company doesn't struggle with high employee turnover. Brad takes the time to explain everything and to answer questions. I would strongly recommend Brad and CJW to anyone for chimney sweep and inspections!

My chimney needed to be rebuilt along with the brick on the front porch. This is the only company that would return my calls AND come out to give me an estimate. They showed up on time, scheduled the job 2 weeks out and rebuilt my chimney from the roof line up. Absolutely wonderful work at a reasonable price. Rebricked my front porch as well. THANKS!

They spent time to inspect the potential issue of the fireplace and charge very high for one time service, above average. They tried to sell their service for second appointment to replace the manual gas valve for about $550. Not recommend for people really want to have their problem fixed for one time. They're not the place you're looking for. I found another company to replace the valve and reorganize the log set for $110. I bought the valve kit for $85. never use them again. Don't know where those high reviews coming from on Angiest list.

you can give us an "F" but you were the one that tried to rip us off. You were told the price of the work before we even came to your home. we spent an hour and a half diagnosing your fireplace, found the problem, quoted the repair and said we would take the initial service charge off the repair bill. you agreed and told us to order the part for your gas fireplace. the next day I found out you cancelled the payment for absolutely no reason what so ever. you then said you would have the charges reversed but never did until I turned you in , to the fraud department. only then did your credit card company reverse the charges for us as they could see that you do this often. then you leave a "F" for a review.....we have proof that you do this regularly , there were 5 other cancelations on your card within 30 days of you doing this to us. we are an extremely honest company and do not work on commission. we have never had a customer do this in 28 years.
