This is the third year we have used Nick and everything went great. We have a two story home with a steep pitch wood shake roof and Nick is the only person we have used that will clean the chimney from the roof. He does the best job of anyone we have used before we found Nick. He makes sure there is no mess left after he finishes the cleaning job. We will use Nick again next year.
Description of Work: Nick cleaned two chimneys at our home.

Nick was great. He showed up on time. He did all the necessary work quickly. There was no mess. He noticed a hole on the exterior of our chimney and repaired it. He also showed me pictures of the hole on the chimney and explained what was wrong and the risk of not fixing it. It was a very good experience and we plan to use him again in the future for chimney maintenance.

Nick answered the phone on a weekend and answered my questions about the process. I've never had a fireplace or chimney so maintenance was new to me. They came out quickly and did a nice job without making any mess of my house. They also informed me if some basic safety items I had to replace. Great service!

He came when expected. Did a good job cleaning and inspecting our chimney. Had equipment and took care so no soot or ashes could get on our carpeting. Climbed up and inspected cap and seal around chimney on the roof. Found some cracks. Gave us an estimate for repair and also told us exactly what we would need if we chose to do the work ourself.
Description of Work: Cleaned and inspected chimney. Repaired cracks in firebox. Inspected chimney cap.

As far as I know they did a good job (hard to tell for sure), but they arrived on time after we changed the time once or twice (once on my accord (power was out), once on theirs (vehicle issue). Found them pleasant and agreeable. Left me a sheet with some additional suggestions (re-point the bricks).....cleaned up after themselves.

Nick arrived on time and promptly got to work. He inspected the flue's (we have a double flue chimney) from the basement up and then from the roof. He informed us that the linings were in good shape as well as the cover and tuck pointing(??). We only had one flue cleaned as we are not sure we will use the other fireplace. Nick set up a vacuum in the fireplace he was cleaning and then went on the roof to "sweep" the flue. The fireplace was in our basement and not easily accessible. (we have serious water damage from the storm in June so basement is torn up). Nick was very careful around our belongings and when he left, you couldn't even tell he had been there - except that the chimney was cleaned and ready to go! We will absolutely have Nick back in the future.

He returned with the necessary tools and tried to fix what he originally pointed out, he broke the glass cover for the fireplace. He put it back together, trying to hide that it was broken, and left taking some parts with him. When we went to open it, it fell apart, but several parts were missing. I called and asked him about it and he told me he had no idea what happened, even though he had to have moved it during the process and it was very obviously broken. We actually had another chimney repairman who told us that Nick had broken some other parts, and told us that we can't use the chimney anymore because it is no longer safe.
Description of Work: He came and swept the chimney and supposedly repaired some things but found something else that needed to be repaired but he didn't have the parts for.

Response from Nick's Chimney Service & Duct Cleaning
When I went to their home to clean their chimney, they asked me to look at their gas fireplace also because the pilot wouldn't light. So I cleaned the pilot off and put everything back together the way it was and it worked (No charge). On another date I had returned to do some repair work on their chimney, they again said the gas fireplace wasn't working. I looked at it again and did take it apart again. But I could not get it to work this time and I told them to call someone who specializes in gas fireplaces(Again No Charge).I have taken apart many pilots on gas fireplaces and it has NEVER been the cause of them not working.There was obviously a pre-existing condition and that is why they asked me to look at it in the first place. When I was there the glass was in perfect condition to my knowledge, when the owner called me asking me if I had any parts for the gas fireplace (which I did not) they did not mention that the glass was broken. If they had I would have most certainly rectified the situation by buying and installing a new piece of glass for that fireplace.

It went very well. They arrived on time and they protected the floors so my home was as clean when they left as when they arrived. They thoroughly cleaned both the chimney and firebox and reassured me the chimney looked to be in great condition. They did notice a few spots in the firebox that needed to be resealed so, with my permission, they took care of that as well. They were very nice and I would absolutely use them again in the future.
Description of Work: Cleaned and inspected the chimney and firebox. They also sealed some places in the fireboxes that needed to be resealed.

Nick was extremely rude and unprofessional. He thinks text messages are a way to do business. We never gave him approval to do the work but he did it anyway when we asked about his availability. Then he demanded payment, we were very confused because we did not even know he had done any work. He then made threats to us personally and called our realtor and made threats to put a lean on the property trying to ruin the sale before even talking to us. He obviously does not know how the law works because you cant put a lean on a property without written approval to perform work. I would never suggest anyone use him.
Description of Work: He came to fix a small issue with our chimney.

As you can see by my record on Angie's List I usually deal with honest people that have no problem paying for the work they ask me to do. This is obviously a case of someone that tried to scam me and I simply wouldn't let them. I did try to contact them via phone and to no surprise they wouldn't take my calls or return messages.

I thought everything went really good. The work was good quality and he was very quick. He completed the estimate and was able to get us on the schedule within a couple of days.The estimate was right at $875, but the tax was not included. Everything was fine.

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.
