It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. It was good. They did what they said they were going to do. I did some more work with them after. He called to remind us that he was coming. He was on time. He was easy to work with. For the inspection, he actually got up on the roof, which was pretty steep. He identified a few things that were wrong and what we could do to fix them. We ended up having him come back and do some more work. It was a really good deal.

We were required to have our chimney cleaned prior to installation of a gas fireplace. The place where we purchased our fireplace recommended two companies to complete the work. Both estimates were over $200. As I usually do, I consulted Angies List, and Nick's Chimney Service & Duct Cleaning was highly recommended. They lived up to the recommendations. Not only was their cleaning half what the competition was, but they provided evidence of how clean the chimney was through use of a T.V. camera. We were very pleased with their service and professionalism.

I am very pleased that I used Angie's List because she sent me a special offer for this service for $99. It was a great deal and in fact someone we told about it, asked to have him call and ended up hiring him also.
Description of Work: Cleaned a 2011 2-story chimney. The home was built in 1875 but wood burning stove chimney was installed in 2011. He did a really good job, said the stove seemed to be burning efficiently because there was little buildup or ashes. He called because he was running late. We were pleased with his service.

Nick and his assistant were clean and careful in their work in my home. I chose to have Nick remove the animals from the fireplace for a little extra charge. It took quite a while to humanely remove the babies and their mom and to cap the chimneys. All is well, with MOM and babies now living in a burrow under my barn.
Description of Work: While cleaning out the 2 chimneys, Nick found a mom and baby raccoons in one of the fireplace chimneys. He carefully and humanely got the mom to leave, covered the chimney and removed the babies. He and his assistant carefully took the babies in a cardboard box to the back yard where they were soon reunited with their mom. The animal "extraction" cost a bit more but it was totally worth it.

We needed a quick response following a chimney fire at our home. Nick Arredondo responded to our call very promptly and similarly scheduled an inspection visit promptly. The project turned out to be a small one for Nick (he replaced two chimney caps), but we were entirely satisfied with his responsiveness and demeanor. He was efficient and pleasant to deal with, and we intend to call him to schedule periodic chimney cleaning.

I don't remember the details other than what I've already metioned.
Description of Work: We had one chimney cleaned per the coupon; the workers were friendly and they even vacuumed out the fireplace area. We paid additionally for another chimney which wasn't that sooty but it seemed like a good idea at the time to have it "swept." We had formerly used Jack Pixley, but he died; Nick's service is a fine replacement.

We bought the $99 Chimney Sweep & Inspection from Angie's List for Nick's Chimney Service 1 week ago. I emailed Nick and he promptly set up a time to get the service scheduled. On the service date, he and another worker showed up promptly on time, were very professional, and got right to work. They laid out a plastic sheet to protect the area around the fireplace, vacuumed out everything out, did the inspection, and even fixed the flue (no extra charge). Then they inspected the chimney and did the sweep. Everything was completed in only 30 minutes and they did a great job. I'd highly recommend Nick's Chimney Service to anyone looking for a quick (but thorough) chimney sweep and inspection.
Description of Work: The fireplace was cleaned out, inspected for cracks, and the flue was fixed. Then the chimney was inspected and swept. Everything was cleaned up and put back together and recommendations for potential fixes were given.

Nick arrived promptly and quickly evaluated what work needed to be done. Two of his crew performed cleanup of fireplaces (2) and dampers. Nick repaired the chimney cap and cleaned the flue liners. Nick showed us before and after pictures of the chimney cap. He and his crew worked quickly and they completed the job in an hour. Nick and his crew were very friendly, good humor, and nice to deal with.
Description of Work: Nick's Chimney Service came to clean two chimneys. They cleared out debris (leaves, dirt, ash) and removed the soot buildup. In addition Nick repaired the chimney cap.

I'm very happy with the work done , the suggestions made, & the courtesy shown. I would ask for them again.
Description of Work: Excellent service: on time, fast, courteous, friendly. Very reasonable fee for chimney sweeping. Took pictures of the worn chimney cap and of several firebox cracks with $40 estimate of repair & around $80 estimate for new chimney cap. Didn't pressure me to act on those suggestions when I said I would talk them over with my husband & get back to him. Said he would email me the info to share with my husband & he did. I appreciate that attitude. We decided not to do the extras offered.

Called and left a message, they immediately returned my call. I scheduled a cleaning time and they arrived promptly. They did an excellent job cleaning and did some small repairs at no additional cost. We would definitely use them again and will recommend them to friends and family. Also, their price was lower than 3 other vendors I phoned.

I was completely satisfied. I was impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, quality of work performed including cleanliness, price and recommendations. He did not try to oversell his service as evidenced by the fact that after inspecting my fireplace and chimney, listening to my burning behavior, type of wood burned, etc, he recommended a cleaning every two years. I will be a repeat customer!
Description of Work: I purchased a coupon special for a chimney clean and inspection. I spoke directly to the owner via phone and was able to schedule a service call the next day, much to my surprise. He and an assistant arrived approximately 5 minutes early. He explained the service and even got on my roof and inspected my chimney. He performed a complete sweep from top and bottom (firebox) unlike previous cleaners who only cleaned from the bottom.

Nick was able to squeeze us in during the busy holidays in between two jobs. He was very professional and neat. Had two helpers who were very neat as well. His price was almost half of what other companies quoted us. Will def use him again.

Arrived on time. Courteous. Efficient service. Added second chimney at discount while they were here. Left the cap off first chimney cleaned.. When I called this omission to their attention, they replaced it promptly. Would have given an A for quality, but felt replacement of the cap should be a routine checklist item before the company leaves a site.
