In 2017 I called for quote and was quoted $180 for a basic chimney cleaning by the secretary. When I asked why so much I was told it was a dirty job. The job was not dirty at all, took about 30 minutes of work, and was done completely by the man standing or kneeling in front of the fireplace. I used the fireplace about 5 times and got another quote that was to be either $75 or $150 depending on the work involved after I pointed out I paid $180 the last time for a fast, easy job. The man came and worked about 20 minutes, again easy clean work, and charged me $150. He did the job and no complaints except a warning that seemed EXPENSIVE for the work done.

He was careful with his cleaning and cleaned up after he was done. We had a few mortar joints in the chimney that needed to be repaired and a small leak in out utility room for which he made some great suggestions for repair. The experience went very well.
Description of Work: Mr. Janney promptly responded to my request and came out at the agreed upon time. He inspected our chimney and cleaned our flue from the outside and the inside base of it. We have a free standing wood stove and he cleaned the pipes for it as well and even tighten up our damper handle.

Steven Janney is very professional, respectful, knowledgeable and does a GREAT job every time. He returns your calls, arrives on time. I have used him for over a decade and I have always gotten a terrific job and never leaves any dirt. He does a great job, keeps it very clean in my house, never leaves a mess and is reasonably priced. What else can I say other than he is very good. This is one guy that I have kept using over and over because he is dependable and good. This guy is someone you can trust to do a terrific job and inform you about any problems.
Description of Work: Arrived on time as always and cleaned my chimney.

As a new member to Angie's List, I was happy to see Janney's Chimney service listed. I've used Mr. Janney's services for 25+ years and he's always provided efficient, quality services. My current woodstove is only 1+ years old and it performed poorly this past winter (long delays before blower would start - then would not stay on long, woodstove was only able to heat one room, etc.). I presented these concerns to Mr. Janney, and he thoroughly inspected stove for problems, making adjustments.
Description of Work: Mr. Janney cleaned my woodstove and checked the stove's thermostat and blower system for problems presented.

He arrives on time, is extremely tidy and doesn't make any mess. I really don't have to worry when he does my chimney which is why I have hired him for years. He keeps my chimney clean and safe and I trust him to do the job right. His price is fair and he doesn't overcharge for his services. When there is any safety problem, he shows it to me and I give him the go-ahead to fix it but usually there is never a problem.
Description of Work: He always cleans my chimney. I have used him for years and I trust him to be fair, reliable and competent. He does repairs as needed.

Mr. Janney came and cleaned the chimney. He had a hard time due to some resistant glaze. He also provided a chimney inspection and made recommendation for further repair to ensure safe operation of the fireplace.
Description of Work: The chimney at our house was odoriferous as the previous owner had burned green wood in the fireplace. Mr. Janney came and cleaned it up so that the chimney no longer smells up the house.
