They were very knowledgeable and did a very good job without creating any mess. They were able to determine why our chimney was smoking so much (negative air pressure) and told me how I could correct the problem.

Response from Jack Pixley Sweeps Inc
THE HOMEOWNER NEVER CONTACTED US OR SENT IN THE COMMENT CARD. THIS IS THE FIRST WE WERE AWARE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. JACK WILL BE CONTACTING THIS CUSTOMER THIS MORNING TO GET THIS RESOLVED. ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION NO 211 WE ARE NOT REQUIRED TO GO TO THE TOP OF THE CHIMNEY TO SWEEP THE FIREPLACE IF IT IS UNSAFE TO DO SO. NOW THAT THE BEES ARE IN HIBERNATION WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO GO BACK TO THE HOME TO EVALUATE, IF IT IS SAFE TO DO SO. WITH THE EQUIPMENT WE HAVE, WE CAN SWEEP PROFESSIONAL FROM THE BOTTOM ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP.

As aways, Jack Pixley Sweeps answers each call with friendliness and promptness. they arranged for the following weekday, according to my schedule a time to come do sweep and inspect my fireplace and chimney. Randy arrived promptly, and was very courteous and helpful. He answered my questions, inspected the chimney and fireplace and cleaned it all nicely. I always call on them to do this and will continue to use their services and recommend them to my friends.

It was great. As a female, who was home with a toddler and husband at work, I had no qualms about letting the two gentlemen in, that came. I was never concerned for my safety or my home. They were kind and courteous and incredibly knowledgeable! We would absolutely, without a doubt have them back out again!
Description of Work: They came to inspect our fireplaces, that we soon found out, had hardly been used and didn't end up needing a lot of tlc.

They found cracks in the rest of the tiles and gaps in some of the joints. The sweep showed up on-time and on short notice. The sweep cleaned up completely and there was no evidence that he had been there, besides a cleaned chimney. The video camera gave us great views of cracks and gaps and the sweep was able to take computer images of the problems. He left a disk with the images of the problems for our records. Overall, the work was excellent, efficient, and courteous. We would use them again.
Description of Work: Our chimney repair guy told us that our top flue tile was cracked. We brought Pixley's in to clean out the chimney and to check the rest of the tiles. They then put a video camera down to look at the rest of the flue tiles to determine if they were cracked as well.

The estimator came out, looked it over, and said we'd get an estimate in the mail in several days. No estimate came. Upon calling them they told me, "Your chimney is too tall, we are not going to give you a bid on the project." However, they did bill me. I wrote back saying that I wasn't going to pay because I never received an estimate. They billed me again. I paid it, figuring I didn't want the hassle with a potential lien against the property. This was a rip-off.
Description of Work: This relates to an unpleasant experience in the Summer 2001. I agreed to pay Jack Pixley for an estimate to repair my chimney. I was charged for the estimate, however, I never received the estimate because, "your chimney is too tall." I disputed the bill, but they continued billing me. I paid it, not wanting to risk a lien against the property.

Response from Jack Pixley Sweeps Inc
WE ARE SORRY HE HAD SUCH A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH OUR COMPANY. I HAVE CHECKED OUR RECORDS AND WE DID GO OUT ON JUNE 13,2001 TO DO A REPAIR ESTIMATE. HE PAID THIS BILL ON AUGUST 31, 2001. I HAVE NO RECORD OF ANY STATEMENTS BEING SENT OR OF ANY COMPLAINTS FROM THIS CUSTOMER. HOWEVER, AN ERROR WAS MADE ON OUR PART, WE ARE NOT IN THE HABIT OF CHARGING FOR REPAIR BIDS WE CAN NOT DO. SOMEHOW ACCOUNTING WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS SITUATION AND NO REFUND WAS GIVEN. I WILL BE SENDING A CHECK TO HIM WITH OUR APOLOGIES FOR $69.00 TODAY. ALSO IN THE SEVENTEEN YEARS I HAVE BEEN HERE WE HAVE NEVER PLACED A LIEN AGAINST ANYONES PROPERTY. HOPEFULLY IN THE FUTURE SHOULD ANYONE HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH OUR COMPANY THEY SHOULD TALK TO EITHER JACK OR MYSELF. OUR APOLOGY TO THIS MEMBER FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE WE MAY HAVE CAUSED HIM.

I received a quote over the phone for an inspection and cleaning. The person answering the phone was very knowledgeable about the process and asked detailed questions to make sure she was giving me an accurate quote. Their price were higher than another Angie's List company which also had very good reviews so we went with the other contractor.

Arrived promptly at the early part of given 3 hour window. Carpet and large surrounding area was covered before work started. We have a 'heat form' type fireplace, and I learned quite a bit about it's operation from the inspector/sweeper. I was very pleased with the cleaning and the care taken to ensure than the living room remained clean. Will definitely hire them next year.
Description of Work: Removed creosote and debris from the fireplace. As the flue opening is uncovered, there were birds inside. They were removed and a stainless cover will be installed when cedar roof is dry. Cleaned as much as could from bottom up - when weather is drier, will inspect flue tiles from top down.

They are real professional and show up right on time. They of course don't get any soot in your home. They are very honest, and for three years running, I have not had to have the full cleaning. It costs $89 for them to come to the door, and $100 for a full cleaning.

Appointment was 11-2, and he didn't show up until 2:30, and we had to call to find out he was going to be late. Other than that he did a good job with the cleaning and inspection. And, explained in full detail everything we needed to know, as well as answered any and all questions that we had.

The technician did a wonderful job. He was knowledgeable, polite, on time, and thorough. He went over and above what we had hoped, and we were very pleased. I would definitely work with this company again!

THE PRICE THEY QUOTED WAS FOR A HALF HOUR WORK AND THEY WERE HERE FOR AROUND 2 HOURS AND DID NOT CHARGE ANY MORE THAN THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE. THE TWO TECHNICIANS THEY SENT OUT WERE VERY CAPABLE AND FRIENDLY (AND ON TIME). I HAD SOME RELATED QUESTIONS AND WHEN I CALLED, SPOKE DIRECTLY WITH JACK PIXLEY AND HE WAS VERY HELPFUL WITH MY QUESTIONS.

I called on 11/7/05 to schedule appointment to repair a chimilator. Appointment was set for 11/30/05 because Pixley was very busy. They confirmed the appointment for the 30th on 11/29/05. On 11/30, Pixley cancelled apt for that day. The appointment was then set for 12/30. I then received a message that the appointment was set for 12/23. I called on 11/22 to determine if the appointment was the 23d or the 30th. I was told they could not do the service either day because it was too late in the season and it could be unsafe. I have since had the work safely repaired in the same season by a different company.

HE STATED IT SHOULD NOT BE USED UNTIL IT WAS UPDATED. WE ARE WAITING TO DO THIS AS IT WILL BE EXPENSIVE. OVERALL, WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE - ALTHOUGH THE CHIMNEY CAPS SEEMED VERY EXPENSIVE.
