Mike was prompt, friendly, and informed. We just purchased our home and Mike instructed us on the proper operation of the fireplace as well as ensuring that all parts were working correctly. He brushed off our gas logs, replaced the sand that was missing from the bottom of our fireplace, checked for gas leaks, and checked out the top of the chimney. Mike rearranged the gas logs to create the best fire scene possible by taking into account where the flames were passing in relation to the logs. Truly he is an artist and my wife could not be happier with his attention to this detail. There is no doubt in my mind that Mike is a chimney specialist. He is obviously dedicated to his profession and really impressed the whole family with his knowledge. Mike was able to speak intelligently about the model of our fireplace and explain the inner workings of the fireplace operation in great detail. He was the first person to have an intelligent suggestion as to what the mysterious light switch next to the fire place is for (a blower under the unit). Unfortunately, it was not for revealing a secret treasure room as I had previously hoped. His knowledge on the topics of chimneys was only matched by his affable personality. He took the time necessary to explain everything clearly and even had several pictures to go along with his explanations. Now I feel like an expert on my fireplace too! I believe that our lives have been enriched after his visit, and we will not soon forget the life lessons that he taught us. The only downside is that after he left my wife said, "Why can't you be more like him?" I didn't have a good answer for her, but I suppose we can't all be the king.

Thank you dear Angie's list member for your kind review of our technician Mike. We found it very amusing that your wife feels highly of Michael. We have now dubbed him "the King". Michael receives great pleasure from providing service to satisfying our clients here at Dr. Flue, inc. And thank you for nominating us for the pages of happiness. Our technicians receive special recognition at our weekly staff meetings every Thursday morning, especially when they're nominated for the Pages of happiness. This really hits home with us, it's an achievement for us, and we very much appreciate the kind words. ~~doc~~

First, I love the fact that the company calls a few days ahead to confirm an actual time. not a time window. Jake arrived ten minutes early (past visits were two people) and set up runners through the house for easy clean up. He completed the work in about forty five minutes, and, as always, was very courteous and professional.

Thank you dear member for doing this review for other Angie's list members. We take pride in the fact that we set our appointment times and show up on time. I learned long ago that I did not appreciate four hour windows for an appointment. I never understood why service company could not pinpoint the time. That is why we run our company the way we do. I run as if I would expect servicing my own home. The clients time is also important. Therefore, the clients time is important to us also. I'm delighted to know that you enjoyed our service, as all the other Angie's list members do also. We set the bar high here at Dr. Flue Inc. for our employees. This goes way back to the training that I received as a child. THANKS MOM!! ~~doc~~

Nick arrived early and did a great job. Fixed a problem with lighting the unit, cleaned the fireplace and refurbished the unit. He also installed a new chimney cap to replace a damaged one that blew off during a storm. He was very thorough and explained all the work he performed. The price for the cap was a bit high, but other than that, all around great experience.

Thank you dear member for taking time to do this Angie's list review. Nick is one of our veteran techs that enjoys doing what he does. He takes pride in his work and your review helps substantiate my words. As for the price of the cap, as you know this is the best on the market. Of course, is not found in stores. It is 100% stainless steel and is quite heavy duty. We also want add the fact that it won't blow off like your previous one did. I anticipate that the one removed or the blew off during the storm was starting to rust as the usual caps do. That is not the case with our caps here at Dr. Flue. We will not have to do any more work on your lifetime warranty stainless steel flue cap. The cap is not as expensive as the actual price tag, if we figure the two caps had to be purchased because possibly the improper choice was made on the first purchase. If the first cap were purchased from Dr Flue, then any subsequent damage or deterioration would be covered under warranty at no additional expense. This makes the best cap the best choice. It was a pleasure providing with the best materials and service available. Thank you for choosing our award-winning service here at Dr. Flue, inc.

Dear member thank you for the review to Angie's list. We enjoyed the opportunity of showing you all the true facts about the top of your Chimney, and including down through your Chimney by VideoScan. I, Doc, am the owner here at Dr. Flue Inc. I personally reviewed the photographs of your chimney. 1). Internally, I see holes that two fingers can fit through in the lining of the chimney flue's that are in use. Fireplace and furnace/hot water heater. 2). On top, at the roof line, I see repairs and evidence of repairs ,perhaps two attempts ,to repair or patch an ongoing problem. I understand that masonry contractors do not have the capabilities of showing the homeowner the true condition of the chimney from top to bottom as we do here, Dr. Flue. It is not uncommon for masonry contractor to voice an opinion that the deterioration of the chimney inside need not be repaired. As was stated at the time of the appointment, the deterioration falls into the codebooks stating that repairs or replacement is necessary before continued usage. We here at Dr. Flue, cannot force anyone to do repairs to their structure. We have the technology to show the homeowner the actual truth and condition of the chimney. We feel that a better informed homeowner can make a better decision concerning the safety of the family and the preservation of the home structure. If the homeowner chooses to believe another contractor which is suggesting the same patchwork or minimal repairs that were done previous then, we saw at the time of the appointment the results of those suggested repairs. That is why we were called for the appointment because the patchwork or repairs did not hold. We have offered our solutions and we stand by them because of our experience and longevity in this industry. We, have opinions as does everyone else. We feel confident by using technology that no one else implements daily that we can better inform the homeowner and let them make the choice which is best for them. We are not in the habit of offering a Band-Aid or a temporary fix. ~~doc~~

I would give this company 10 stars and many A+'s. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. The were very considerate of our home putting down drop cloths and wearing shoe covers. Took lots of time explaining the operation of the insert and the remote control. I would highly recommend this company to all who have a fireplace. I forgot to mention they did a complete inspection, showing us pictures of inside the chimney and explained in detail their findings.

Dear member, thank you for taking the time to do this Angie's list members review. I looked over the completed pictures of your installation. It looks gorgeous! The crew kept me posted as the job was going along and they were excited to be able to provide such a beautiful finished product to you and your husband. As you mentioned, we did a full diagnosis with our video viewing camera inside the chimney all the way up to the top. This gives the homeowner the best information available in the living room to make the proper choice that meets budget,aesthetics, and safety needs. Pictures of your finished product have already been sent, and circulated, into our industry. We again appreciate your trust in us here at Dr. Flue and we are here when you give us a call. God bless! ~~doc~~

We have contacted the member , and we have found out that her son actually stepped in between our company and the member,and cancelled the work that was approved. So, our company was told that he was acting in behalf of his mother ( member). Hence the phone call not received, actually was, intercepted by a family member. Member has since approved work to be done, and mentioned that our office is NOT at fault, and the "b" overall will be changed. Let's wait and see how soon AL acts! ~~doc~~

Jake was on time, very professional and although it was very cold outside, he went right to work. After he completed the job, Jake went over everything he did and then helped us with information about our gas fireplace in another room. Jake was very professional and wore booties to cover his shoes as well as laid a tarp down while cleaning the fireplace. No question we will use Doctor flu again for both our wood burning fireplace and our gas fireplace.

Dear member thank you for the excellent review. It's members like yourself to continue to help Angie's list thrive and help homeowners pick who they choose and allow in their home. I see you had the dynamic duo Jake, and Jake. They work well together as they continue to make homes safer and provide proper venting in the home. Jake is one of our leading installers and has a background in construction.(The older one that is). The younger Jake has been under my wing for about nine months. He's been going through what we called Docs Boot Camp here at Dr. Flue,inc. He just mentioned to me after driving out of the parking lot after staff meeting this morning, that he was ready to start taking some tests. We just don't let anyone drive one of the Flue Units. Certification is required by an individual that is on site, alone. In order to run one of our trucks you must be considered a lead tech with proper certification. Certification is acquired through The Chimney Safety Institute of America. Lead techs are a coveted commodity in this industry. We have tripled our budget on education thus providing a better level of educated service to the homeowner on site. Thank you again for your wonderful comments and review. ~~doc~~

I had to call multiple times to reach them. They never called back. When I finally got through they said they "inspect" the fireplace (new) and then charge 148$ for this inspection service to provide a quote on the installation. I called 2 other providers (Mr. Sweep and Schutz) recommended on Angie's list and they came out and provided free estimates and had a responsive answering service.
Description of Work: They wanted 148$ just to provide a quote on a fireplace install! This is the kind of BS that gives contractors a bad name.

Dear member, thank you for taking the time to do the review on Angie's list. We find no actual record of the attempts spoken of in the review calling our office. We have invested money in tracking all incoming calls, electronically. I am happy however, that your call is properly handled and the prices were put upfront before a decision was to hire us. We pride ourselves and fully explaining everything to expect with using our well-educated staff and professional service. This includes the type of service we provide ,the higher quality of product and materials, and also the care we take to provide a mess free guarantee. Please keep in mind that we only charge for the services rendered. Any one service company that gives a "free "estimate is actually charging the customers that hire them. There are costs incurred to give "free "estimates and they have to be paid by the next customer that hires that company. Personally, I don't feel that other people's costs should be paid by me because I decide to hire that company. We decided 27 years ago, to allow our homeowners to choose freely who they hire. I'm a firm believer and have built our company on the fact that there's "always someone cheaper, never better." We do not try to attract business by trying to find a way in the door. We feel that being upfront and honest and explain every step through educated eyes and portraying that knowledge to the homeowner lets the homeowner make the proper decision for their family safety, budget, and well-being, and peace of mind. Thank you for your consideration. God bless. ~~doc~~

Thank you for your generous and kind review here on Angie's list. Nick is one of our better techs at instructing homeowners how to use the device that you're not accustomed to using We enjoy the fact that he was successful in training you on how to light the pilot for your gas log set. Let us know when you're ready to upgrade the set and we can put in even more beautiful and efficient appliance. Thank you for trusting us here at Dr. Flue. ~~doc~~
