Technician was professional, courteous and careful in my home. He quietly went about his business and was careful with drop cloths to protect my home. He had first rate equipment such as huge vacuums, etc. Took about two hours to clean and inspect both. Added bonus...was able to view photos taken during the sweep of each chimney, from top to bottom. Made recoomendations but was not pushy. Seemed very honest, which I appreciate.

Description of Work: The man who came to do the chimney sweeping did an excellent job and kept everything very clean. In addition I already knew I needed a new damper and he was able to do that at the same time installing one that was much better than the original. I will use them again!

Very satisfied with the service. Tech showed up on time and did a great job. He educated me on the type of chimney system I have and provided several maintenance and safety measures to be mindful of. The Tech kept the work area clean and actually left the area much cleaner than it was before. I also appreciated that he did not try to push any up-sell or premium services on me.
Description of Work: Purchased an angieslist coupon for chimney cleaning through Owens Chimney Systems. Tech showed up on time and performed service (chimney inspection and cleaning) exactly as it was described on coupon. Tech was fast, professional and courteous.

Alex was very punctual and very polite. He did a marvelous job, and I will call Owens Chimney Systems next year for another chimney sweep. I am very impressed with Alex's knowledge, and will definitely ask for Alex, specifically, next year. I feel much safer using my fireplace, now that it has been cleaned and inspected. Thank you Owens Chimney Systems for offering this special.
Description of Work: Alex from Owens Chimney Systems came to do our chimney sweep. He was very tidy and showed his skill at inspection and the cleaning of my chimney. He spent time explaining what he was doing and why it is necessary to have a chimney inspected each year. I had not called for a chimney sweep in about 20 yrs.

The technician was very punctual and courteous. He was considerate of our home by wearing booties and covering the carpet in front of the fireplace before beginning his work. Because it had been so long since our chimney was cleaned and, therefore a lot of soot buildup, he actually climbed to the roof of our 2-story house to clean the chimney from the top to avoid soot and dirt being pulled through the fireplace below and into the house. He found a couple of areas of minor concern, but recommended that we just watch them, instead of trying to sell us on expensive repairs that are not needed yet. We are very satisfied and would gladly recommend Owens Chimney Systems.
Description of Work: We love fires and our wood burning fireplace gets used a lot each winter. Our chimney had not been cleaned for a good 10 years and I was quite concerned about tempting fate another season by burning fires without having the chimney inspected.

The technician was amazing. His work was clean and thorough considering chimney sweeping is a dirty business. He came to do the "Big Deal" service and showed up promptly. He was also kind enough to show me how to light the gas fireplace in my bedroom without blowing up the house! Because the dampers in the main fireplace (living room) didn't work and were locked in the open position, the technician explained that they couldn't be repaired. He could get them to work (possibly) but I'd have to stick my arm all the way up into the chimney to open and close the dampers. When I asked if there was another way, he suggested new dampers to be installed on the top of the chimney which were controlled by chains. The office set up the appointment and the technician arrived a little later than scheduled but the office had already notified me of the delay. The technician arrived and installed the new dampers which involved removing the chimney cap, grinding down the tiles and installing the two stainless steel dampers. The technician was extremely careful about walking on my brand new metal roof and was also careful in placing his ladder. The dampers and chains were installed in about 1 hour 15 minutes. All the work was neat and clean. The technician demonstrated using the chains to open and close the dampers. He is an outstanding worker. I notified Owen's Chimney Cleaning Service that I was thrilled with the technician and the service. They are concerned about their employees and their customers. Needless to say, I am completely impressed with Owen's Chimney Service and would heartily recommend them!
Description of Work: I purchased the "Big Deal" for a chimney cleaning. The technician cleaned the chimney and double sided fireplace thoroughly. At my request, he checked the dampers which were off the track and, because of age, couldn't be repaired. He suggested I contact the office and have new dampers installed. Owens Chimney Cleaning Service called me and we scheduled the technician to return and install the new dampers that operate on chains. The cost for each damper was $250 (installed and I needed two).

We are grateful for their honesty, cleanliness, and overall integrity. They could have not said anything about our clean chimney, and took our hard earned money, but they didn't! We appreciate this company!
Description of Work: We originally purchased a chimney sweep, and dryer vent cleaning, for our recently purchased condo. However, Owen's noticed that our Chimney had been cleaned recently, and advised us to get a refund since we didn't need the work done yet, and advised us on when to have it done in the future. Owen's did clean our dryer vents, as it was definitely needed, and did a nice job. The service person even wore shoe protectors as he walked through our home, which is a big plus for us!

I used there $99.00 cleaning and inspection coupon and purchased a chimney cap. Owens was right on time. Explained everything he was doing and notified me of some surface cracks. The chimney is 30 year old masonry. I was very happy with their service and my now bird free chimney. I hope we don't have the need to use the fireplace, but if we do we know it's cleaned and safe.
Description of Work: There were bird's nests in an uncapped chimney that had never been used in the 8 years we've lived there. I wanted the nest gone and to be able to use the fireplace if we lost power during cold weather.

They came out and looked around outside. Then came back in and asked me if I spoke to someone about the cleaning. I told them that I purchased it through Angie's List, then someone called me to schedule the appointment. He then asked me if I was aware about the $70 up charge on top of the $99 I had already paid. I then told them that I didn't want to pay the extra, so they left and I am getting my money refunded.

Response from Owens Chimney Systems
First of all we would like to say we are sorry for the confusion and misunderstanding regarding the Customer’s situation. Out of all the Big Deal customers we have scheduled and completed over the last couple of years, this is the first incident we have had regarding the Big Deal promotion. The Big Deal promotion online clearly states that the $ 99.00 special was for an Open Fireplace Sweep with a Level I Inspection. Apparently the Customer did not realize that he does not have an open fireplace, he instead has a woodstove. This is a situation that happens every now and then with our regular customer base where we schedule an appointment to sweep an open fireplace and arrive at the customer’s home to discover they have a woodstove instead. Chimney Systems with woodstoves require more time to complete the sweeping and inspection process - therefore we do charge more for this service. We always strive to provide quality service to all of our customers. In turn, we rely on our customers to know what they have so they can provide us with the right information when scheduling their appointment. We are looking at this particular situation with the Customer to see what we can do to help prevent this unfortunate occurrence from happening again.

I called after reading reviews here on Angies list. They set an appointment for 3 weeks later and said they would call if they had a cancellation. They did call and were able to get me in fairly quickly. The arrived right on time and completely prepared. They talked with me first about their process and asked me if I had any questions. When they were done they offered additional services and explained what they had found. Very happy we called them and will use them every year!
