I originally called and had an inspection done in March 2020. I called back a couple months later to schedule a time for them to come out and do repairs. No answer so I left a message. I called back every other week for a couple months, no answer, no call back. Eventually everything got shut down due to covid so I waited till everything opened back up. It took a couple months to get thru to someone and when I did they told me they didn't have a copy of the bid the gave me. After about a month Rich came out to do another inspection. The first inspection was an actual inspection. Took his time checked out everything and got on the roof. This inspection he bent over to look in my chimney for about 10 seconds at best and said I would have the bid by Saturday morning, that was 3 days. It took over 2 weeks to get the bid and the tripled their price. I would not recommend Rich or Chimney Safe ever.

Showed up on time and provided detailed, thorough inspection with a punchlist of items that were checked and verbally went over his findings. Inspector promised a detailed report with photos and some bids for various work that was needed to be emailed to me and left. I waited two weeks for the report and finally called the office manager who promised to get with the inspector and see what was holding up the report. Not getting a response I called the office after a few days and my call went to voicemail whereupon I left a message. I mentioned this situation to my real estate agent who had recommended this company to me. She said she would follow up and forwarded me a copy of the detailed report the next day via email. The copy had the wrong email address for me even though I gave the inspector a written copy of my correct address on his copy of the checklist on the day of the inspection.

We were called when they were ahead of schedule to check if it was ok to come ahead of time. Inspectors were professional and thorough. We recently purchased the house and have been finding weird/dangerous DIY performed by the previous owners at every turn so we weren't suprised when they notified us that the chimney was unsafe to use. We appreciate the information, and especially thankful that we called prior to trying to use the stove. We will be calling when we're ready to replace everything...

Description of Work: We tried to contact and left several messages over the course of 2 months to get work done that was estimated with previous home owners. Someone stop by, unannounced, one afternoon. He looked around said he needed to order a part(s) from St. Louis and would be back in a week or so to get the work done. After 2 weeks we called back. Part was not in stock, on back order, etc. We went elsewhere and never heard back from Chimney Safe.

We called 4 different Chimney companies to obtain estimates to replace the chimney cap on our home. Two responded and two did not. We received the estimate from Chimney Safe which seemed reasonable. The estimate needed to be more informative as to what kind of materials were to be used, number of people it would take to complete the job as well as the time it would take for installation. Chimney Safe was punctual in sending an estimate and promptly answered any questions we had. We went with another service provider because of the material that they were going to use.

So if we responded, gave you information, how are we supposed to keep you from hiring another company. If you didn't hire us in first place why would you hire us again. Poor explanation in review.
