They did exactly what they said they would, on time, and very professional. I had several other companies come out but none as knowledgeable. Price seemed high at first but the quality and knowledge was there. Easy to work with and kept us informed daily of the progress. I would definitely recommend them and I will use them again in the future for any chimney/fireplace needs. P.S. My chimney is 33 years old and they matched the old brick almost perfectly.

[Member Name Removed], thank you for the thorough review mentioning standards of our crew's good workmanship. Chimney shoulders and matching brick can sometimes prove to be a challenge, and we are happy to hear that you are pleased with the outcome. We also hope that you enjoy the quality of your new gas insert, which will help you welcome Minnesota's fall and winter.

The service was excellent; the two staff members (Jim and Caleb) were on time, having called me to let me know their schedule. They wore face masks and were respectful of social distancing. They performed the inspection, showed me the images and how the work was done. They provided useful explanations, alternative suggestions, and information about alternatives and safety considerations. It was very helpful The dryer vent had not been cleaned for awhile. They inspected the vent, found defects, and repaired them along with the cleaning; above and beyond what would be expected in a routine procedure. They provided counsel on safety issues and did an excellent job.

Great! When the tech, Randy, is done, he gives us a “tour” of the chimney interior using a closed circuit camera on extension polls connected back to a monitor and computer so we can see for ourselves it’s condition. He vacuums out the fire box and has replaced broken tiles.

Thank you for your review on our inspection service. From your documentation on file, the findings can be used for a good bench mark in watching for future deterioration. Our climate in Minnesota can not only be a challenge for residents, but for chimney tops as well. Again, we appreciate your kind words and time.

Appointment setup process was professional with minimal wait during the hot summer. Anton the the tech arrived onetime and was very knowledgeable offering options for converting an unused fireplace into firebox mounted TV. He sealed the chimney and provided a full report with photos for my records showing his work and chimney condition which I received by email. Very professional! I would not hesitate to use Jack Pixley Sweeps again!

chimney caps

They indicated the cap needed replacement. They replaced it on the second try as first cap was measured wrong. Then it rained and still leaked. Called and asked for an adjustment or to correct problem, was told they don’t guarantee there work and wasn’t anything more they could do. It appears there wasn’t anything wrong with the cap as no water ever came inside the chimney. I have now called the shingle guy so will see what they have to say.

Response from Jack Pixley Sweeps Inc
We appreciate the opportunity to reply and give you a professional perspective from documentation given to you from our CSIA technician. Please review you report and pictures to verify our findings. In regards to your ongoing water leakage by the chimney on the roof, our tech (27 yrs. experience), found a missing rain collar and a concaved top chase pan cover with water puddling on top, and small cracks in your stucco chimney chase. Although water intrusion problems can sometimes be elusive, these were the more obvious flaws to begin correcting. Along with a new chase pan cover with collar, he also recommended a rubber type membrane application, sealing over the old flashing; you did not opt for that. We do stand behind our work and would like to offer to try that application as a last resort for the chimney water problem. When our repair manager walked on your roof, it felt soft or mushy, and that may be where water is slowly seeping from. Our Repair Manager will be in contact with you to see if you are interested in a "no charge" FlashSeal application quoted to you at $300. If that does not solve your water problem, we suggest you follow up on a quality roofing company's inspection. Respectfully, JPS

Thorough inspection of fireplace and boiler chimney liners in our 1923 duplex. The fireplace liners were rated unsafe and the technician said that replacement would be quite expensive - recommended gas instead. We were quite impressed with the inspection and information. And there was no charge! Definitely recommend this company.

We thank you for your review, and want you to know that it was wise for you to get a good inspection for safety reasons alone. A quality gas insert can turn out to be a good investment in your house in the future, if you ever choose to continue having a workable fireplace. Thank you again for your kind words regarding our technician'[Member Information Removed] inspection and information.

This young man explained stuff to us that has never been explained before and was very helpful. He did a wonderful job and we had not complications as we have had a couple of times before. Would have him back anytime. The excellent job they do was worth the cost. We have used Pixley for years and have always been happy with their work.

Our gas fireplace insert was not working consistently. The technicians came and took measurements and gave options for returning to an open wood burning fire or a wood burning insert. They removed the gas insert and from their information, I know I need a wood burning fireplace insert. They also cleaned the fireplace and flue system. Excellent work! I will re-hire them to repair the brickwork, crown and flashing.

James was wonderful - he walked me through everything and even offered to check a few things that he didn't really need to but saw that it would give me peace of mind. I appreciated the thoughtfulness and thoroughness! We've had others out to give repair estimates and we've decided to go with Jack Pixley Sweeps. We will be having some sealing work done on our chimney and an installation of a gas and electric fireplace insert - will update the review as needed once the repair work has been completed.

Very good meeting, as the inspector was very professional, experienced and shared his expert knowledge by providing a conversational walk-through, while performing his testing and analysis of the history of the fireplaces, their current state of operation in terms of being up-to-code, their efficiency and safety with regards to any potential existing, visual hazards or risks. He was prompt, friendly and clean with his respect of the work area and with his equipment. He encouraged questions and provided explanations in layman terms; "what if" scenarios; clarified his opinions from his qualified recommendations regarding Next Steps required to ensure the best quality for the homeowners from each fireplace. Company has a long history with high standards and reputable with other professionals in the industry (e.g., plumbers required to install a new gas line for the installation of a gas insert fireplace). He shared his preliminary feedback on his findings on site with us and follow-up in less than a day with his report, detailing all the options involved for us to make an informed decision on the required work involved to make a fireplace "up to code" (including costs, time frame to complete each option, and priority for what must be handled urgently in the short term with the outside chimney vs the timing of the work to the inside fireplace for our budget planning). His report summarized our conversations during the inspection and pictures from his camera, so there were no surprises to us. He confirmed we had all our questions and concerns answered before he left that inspection. I’m confident I was well educated and informed to make our final decision.
