Description of Work: AA did a good job of cleaning my chimney. They also found damage to the outside of my chimney and quoted me a reasonable price of $565 for tuckpointing and repair. I have asked them to come out again to do the work and hopefully they will do a good job. To be determined!!

Mr. Fenner has been cleaning my chimney since 2005. Last year he repaired the chimney crown so it wouldn't have to be replaced. He is prompt, very nice and never leaves a mess behind. He has not raised his prices in the last 4 years.

I've just moved into a new (to me) house in Desoto, MO. The house is eight years old and it's the first time I've had a house with a wood burning fireplace. I need to have the fireplace cleaned and inspected, so I turned to Angie's List to find a good company. When I called a few minutes ago I spoke with Eric, the company owner and told him where I lived. He told me this is out of his area but then proceeded to tell me that I could find a reputable company on the Chimney Safety Institute website and he also told me of things to be aware of and what to watch out for. He also told me that if I got an estimate that seemed high that I could call him back and we would go over the estimate line by line to see if it was in order, and also to call him back if I had any questions at all. Now, all of this was from a man who knows he won't be making a penny from me but was really going the extra mile to make sure that whatever company I contracted with could be counted on to do a safe and thorough job! I love this guy! If every company could have a clone of him "customer service" would have a whole different meaning!
Description of Work: I called to see if they clean chimneys in my area - Desoto, MO.

We got five bids for this project. Of the five, three examined the chimney using binoculars. Two used ladders and climbed to top of chimney to examine. Of those two, Eric was not only the most polite and professional but also proposed the lowest price (incidentally, he does not charge for estimates). Showed up precisely on time at 7:00 a.m. and completed the job on time. Clean, neat work and polite, professional demeanor. I would use again and would recommend to others. If I were to need this work again I would choose Eric, even at a higher price, because he did a thorough job of examining the work beforehand, made good recommendations, and did quality work.
Description of Work: Replaced about a dozen fractured bricks in chimney; minor tuckpointing; replaced mortar cap and crown seal at top of chimney; installed new stainless steel chimney cap; applied silicone seal to chimney flashing

They were polite, professional, required very little input from me, and repaired my chimney in the time and for the price they estimated.
Description of Work: On this particular instance, Ashes Away performed tuckpointing to repair my chimney. My chimney had entire missing joints, the cap was in need of repair/replacement and was probably the cause of an infrequent leak.

He was very, very knowledgeable and told us our HVAC company had improperly installed our flu liner (it doesn't reach all the way up the chimney and moisture is leaking into our plaster) and told us what needed to be done. We now have the information to take back to our HVAC installers to negotiate with them, and have an estimate from Ashes Away, if the original contractor wants to subcontract out the work. Just to know what is causing our problem has lessened our frustration with this ongoing home maintenance issue. The owner was professional and reasonable.
Description of Work: We had asked several chimney repair companies for an estimate and this is the only one who showed up, despite a busy schedule.

He did a fantastic job and did it very quickly. Then two years ago he came out and did a full cleaning and inspection. They were in and out in about an hour and they were by far the most reasonable price for any chimney places we could find in the area.
Description of Work: When we were buying our house the inspector noticed that there were problems with the water coming into the attic. He recommended a chimney inspector, which sealed it up and put a cap and seal on it.

Mr. Fenner arrived the day promised even though he had a flat tire on the way. After getting the tire repaired he came even though it was late afternoon. He set up and was done before we knew it without leaving a speck of ash in the house. This is the second time Mr. Fenner has cleaned my chimney.
Description of Work: Mr. Fenner cleaned our chimney which had been used during a 5 day power outage, we burned wood 24x7 for those 5 days so the chimney was very dirty.

He was very friendly. They were clean, no mess was left behind at all. He doesn't normally service my location, but since he was already going to be in the area, and he had an opening in his schedule, he was willing to. He called around 1:30 and let me know he was going to be approximately 15 minutes late, which was very much appreciated! He was professional and did a great job.

It was a pleasure to do business with Eric. He was very professional, personable and on time for the appointment. He moved furniture out of the way and covered the floor and furniture with tarps in case any dust/ashes would escape. He has been doing this for 20 years and knows what he is doing.
Description of Work: Cleaned/Sweeped chimney and fire box. He also inspected the fire box and offered a few suggestions for the proper way to start a fire to avoid getting smoke into the living area. In addition, he notice that the glass doors did not meet safety requirements and recommended contacting the manufacture of the firebox for the proper doors.

Eric returned my call very promptly & we set up an appointment for him to come out to sweep the chimney. He arrived right on time & the job was complete in about 30-45 minutes. As always, he did not leave any dirt at all behind. We are always very impressed with that as chimney sweeping is very messy business. This is the 2nd time my husband & I have used the services of Ashes Away.
