Description of Work: They did a fantastic job of relining our chimney despite facing extremely trying weather and masonry problems. Wonderful group to work with and very fairly priced. Went above and beyond my expectations!

Description of Work: They never showed up. They were called the day of and no answer. They were called the next day and were very apologetic and a new appointment was set up. They never showed up for that appointment either nor did they call to inform me they were not coming. In my opinion, they were very unprofessional and do not know how to run a business to obtain customers nor keep them for that matter.

Description of Work: They were slow responding to my call for an estimate. I called one office, someone from another office showed up, and then another office called and said the estimator and the regional manager would be there shortly after the sales person had already been of site.

Description of Work: they were hired to remove old ceramic flue and replace with steel liner. After 4 different visits (first crew was not aware that a new damper was part of the jov) they were completed. I made monthly payments according to the arrangement we made at signing (details were in writing). After payments were complete I still got calls from "Stormy" demanding the remaining balance. They eventually left me alone after I sent copies of all the checks they cashed. | |Two years later I hired a different (respected) company to clean the flue liners. They would not touch it because all the work done by Chimney Cricket was not to code. The liner had no seal and smoke just went around it, building up creosote in between the liner and brick causing a very UNSAFE condition. | |After a few different quotes it appears it will cost me at least $5000 to have their work removed and a real liner put in. | |STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS!

Description of Work: They cleaned my chimney and did an inspection. Their inspection consisted looking at my chimney with a flashlight. I had to have someone else come in and do an inspection and fix my chimney because I could tell there was cracks.

THEY DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB ON CLEANING THE CHIMNEY. WHILE THEY WERE THERE, I ASKED THEM WHY THE SMOKE WAS COMING BACK INTO THE HOME. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS BROKE, BUT THE FLUE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.
