The project lasted 3 1/2 days. Each day the service technicians were on time, professional, and polite. They took time to answer all of our questions. Drop clothes were laid down to protect the carpet and each evening they covered the fireplace to prevent anything from coming into the house. The wood inserts are very heavy. The old one was removed and the new one installed without any damage to the elevated brick hearth. We would highly recommend Owens Chimney.

Went very well. They had to order the cap but it was a really odd size so that is understandable. Guys were very friendly and did a great job - would definitely use again.

They did the initial and then quoted me a price. The kid that came out did a great job. They didn't meet my expectation. My expectations were probably wrong for what they did.
Description of Work: They came and did an inspection and told me what I already knew. I was looking to get my whole chimney updated. I wanted a damper and they gave me an estimate for the damper, but it was too much.

Mr. Owens personally arrived with his employee via his personal vehicle to review the work previously performed and to discuss the pictures then on the chimney clean up on the 18th. He showed us in details and in layman's term what was the problem and his suggestions in a way we were able to understand and We are very grateful for his employees finding these safety issues and pointing them out. The previous years the modifications and cleaning were done by a different company. From here on forward we will use Owen's Chimney Systems. We will also contract them on any future new installations and work. Highly recommend their services, reasonable priced, no sales pressure, answers the questions posed to them and when they do not have the information at hand, they seek out the manufacture and secure that information, weather it be parts, measurements, etc...
Description of Work: Crew headed by Tech Christopher did a fine good on our Vermont Wood stove. They cleaned out the inner tube inside the chimney, and did so without a speck of dust entering the living space area. They installed spare parts I had (fan, filter, thermometer) I was going to replace after the service was performed, instead they quickly installed them as they were opening and cleaning the stove. They inspected and submitted pictures show issues that were poorly performed by anothor chimney provider previously used. The owner personally revisited our home and reinspected and gave us an estimate of the suggested corrections that will be needed to bring our stove up to code, run safely , and efficiently this coming winter. safely

Our requested appointment date was accommodated and the team showed up on time - even called ahead to let us know they were on the way. They were very professional, courteous, and thorough. We were able to see photos of the before-during- and after results. There were cracks in the flue tiles which needed to be repaired- and the crew said they would have Mr. Owens give us a call once he was able to view the photos. Mr. Owens was able to provide some different options and estimates to take care of the issue - he was very good about explaining what we could do. The entire process went very well and we are very pleased with the job. We would recommend Owen's Chimney Systems to our friends and neighbors.

I purchased the Angie's List deal online, which saved me $25 (vs the phone quote of $160), and scheduled the appointment. Two techs came instead of just one, which they fellows told me was the norm. Not sure the 2nd guy was in training or if it was a slower day and they decided to have them team up, but they were right on time; professional, polite and friendly; and extremely efficient, yet thorough & clean!!! Will use Owens again and highly recommend them!
