I would definitely hire this company again! They were prompt. They inspected my fireplace thoughly. They moved the couch that my tenant placed in front of the fireplace and were so pleasant. It is a father and son team and I could tell that they took pride in their work. I also got a great tip on what to put in my next lease regarding using the fireplace.
Description of Work: I needed my fireplace inspected for my rental home inspection.

Description of Work: Dennis cleaned our chimney/fireplace in December and returned in June to examine the exterior of the chimney. He had been unable to go on the roof because of the snow during his initial visit. Dennis is both personable and knowledgable. He doesn't "push" unnecessary services or repairs. He leaves the work area clean and works efficiently. His cost is reasonable. I will have him back to clean as well as do some repair in areas we are watching. Dennis even gave me a referral for firewood when he noticed we were running low.

Dennis came out to our house when we were inspecting it - prior to buying. We hired him to clean and sweep the chimney after we moved in. He is very professional, knowledgable and personable. He gave me a few tips - some things he couldn't do and a mason would be required and recommended a mason. The rate was very reasonable. We will hire him again. UPDATE: 9.9.2014: While it was a good experience at the time we have now discovered the work was incomplete and lazy. He did not properly educate us on what was really needed to fix it.

Dennis was punctual and very pleasant. His knowledge of his work is evident and he was happy to share. He did find an area that needed a fix and talked with me about it before I gave him the go ahead. Dennis explained things completely so I would understand why the fix was necessary. He was efficient and cleaned up after the work was done. The price was more than reasonable. I am very pleased with his work and will gladly call him again.

Dennis showed up right on time for our appointment and did a great job. No mess and took the time to review the operation of the damper in my 1950s house--much appreciated. Took a while to get on the schedule--I guess a testament to a good client base. Would definitely use him again.
Description of Work: Recently purchased an older home and wanted someone to clean and inspect the wood burning fireplace before use this fall.

He arrived on time, friendly, identified who he was, very clean, neat, well presented. He covered his shoes before he came in, he was very clean during the process - did a thorough inspection, replace only necessary items didn't try to sell me anything more. He educated me on the proper use and maintanance of my fireplace. Cleaned up after himself - took about 30-40 minutes and he was done. He was very professional. Great value!! I didn't feel over charged like many other companies I have used. He is a good local guy doing a great job! Hire him!!
Description of Work: cleaned and inspected fireplace chimney, replaced flue door so it would close properly.

Dennis was great! Very professional and gave me a walkthru of what he was going to be doing that day. Timely in his work, cleaned up after and you couldn't even tell he was there (besides the clean fireplace)! Did a few extra things as a first time customer add on and we'll definitely be having him back in the spring to do the repair work we know needs to be done to the outside. He came recommended through a friend and I'd agree with his all A's grade here on Angie's List!

Dennis was punctual, knowledgeable, and honest. He explained the issue very thoroughly making sure we understood what he was saying and referred us to a hot-cold air expert who cold fine tune our duct work. He also answered questions we had about our other fireplace. I would highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: Cold air flows down one of our fireplace chimneys. At the suggestion of a fireplace company, we asked Veteran Chimney Sweep to check the damper to see if it needed repair. Dennis examined it and said it was working properly. He did not try to sell us a seal damper which would not have worked but has been suggested by other companies. Our fireplace issue is the result of an imbalance in the air flow through the cold and hot-air ducts of the furnace which pulls air down the chimney. Dennis told us it was our decision how we wanted to handle it. He gave us an inexpensive short-term solution and he told us about a company we could call for a long-term thorough solution. It was our choice how we wanted to proceed.

Dennis has been cleaning our chimney for the past 15 years and I does a great job. The first time he came out he repaired the mortar and installed (2) chimney caps which are still fine. Since then he cleans the chimney once every two years, inspects the outside portion. He usually takes about an hour and cleans up after himself. He always has a smile on his face and genuinely enjoys his work.
Description of Work: Dennis cleaned the chimney, fixed the screen and caulked the chimney on the roof.

We were very satisfied with this company and the professional job they did. We liked their professionalism and courteous representation as well.
Description of Work: They swept out my chimney with a brush and vacuum system, first applying mats and protective material to ensure a clean working environment. They spent about an hour or so doing this and all waste was discarded by them.
