They came out and cleaned and inspected the chimney of a rental house we own. The fireplace had not been used in years, and we wanted to make sure it was safe. This chimney did not have an internal damper, and they quoted us a stainless top cap that could be open and closed via a chain. This would prevent heat from going out the flue when not in use. Also protect from entrance of critters, etc. They came out as scheduled, and installed the cap for the price quoted. I was satisfied with their professionalism and promptness.

The guys showed up on time as planned and performed work. Actually had them clean two additional chimneys (total of 3) while here and they were able to accommodate the request. They were very professional and did a good job. On a separate note I wanted some additional work done like a new crown and top-mount damper and asked for a quote. I went through two revisions of the quote. Then I asked for line item detail for pricing and specifics for what sizes were going to be used and never received a response. Overall they did a very good job with the chimney cleaning.
Description of Work: They cleaned three chimneys for me. In addition to the cleaning they used video to inspect flue and showed me the entire process. Great job in the inspection and cleaning.

I think that they did a great job. They were very punctual, and they protected our floors whenever they came through and did the work. They got on the roof and were very good about taking a look of our issues. Their receptionist was very realistic about when we could get a good appointment, and I had no issues with anything. They said that they would be there at the time they were there. Their price was comparable.

Chimneys Plus team were professional, efficient, and thorough. They systematically positioned equipment, protective floor mats, and vaccums) and proceeded to work their way through their tasks and provided extensive feedback on their findings and repairs. We have used this organization for over 10 years for annual inspections, cleaning, and repairs when necessary. We highly recommend their professional skills.

The service men arrived right on schedule. They completely covered the working area around the fireplace with drop cloths. The wore shoe covers at all time while in our home. They did a very thorough job of cleaning the chimney. They also used a video camera to inspect the chimney for any damage. When they were finished they provided a a written summary of the condition of the chimney. Chimney cleaning has the potential to create a mess in the house. This didn't happen at all--they did a outstanding job and there was no trace any grime from their work. In addition the two young men who did the work were courteous and professional. I plan to use Chimney Plus on a regular basis.

The sweep was scheduled for 10 am, but the workers were running a bit late, so they called well ahead of time to let me know their expected arrival time. They put down drop clothes to catch any soot, wrestled the stove out of position and cleaned the chimney from the top and the bottom. No muss. No fuss. They cleaned up so well that you would never have known they had been there. Very satisfied!

The two employees who came out to our house were friendly, careful with our furniture, clean and considerate. They explained in detail what they had done and provided me with images of damage they found and an estimate and honest opinion of future repairs and improvements.

I have a large stucco chimney about 2 ft by 6 ft at the top. The original chase cover did not extend over the stucco and was allowing some water penetration. The chimney is in the middle of a steeply pitched roof, and extends about 12 feet above the roof. I contacted several contractors and most were reluctant to tackle the job because of the risk factor. GuttersPlus offered to install a stainless steel cover at a very fair price. I was in the process of having the roof re-shingled and was working on a tight schedule to get the chimney cover installed. Charlie Quaile, the owner of GuttersPlus in Pittsboro, NC, took it upon himself to come out and measure the chimney, order the new cover and install the cover before the roofer completed his work. He also repainted the existing flue cover which was starting to rust. It was a pleasure to work with Charlie, and to see him walking around on top of the chimney as he did his job. I would recommend GuttersPlus for any chimney work you might need. If Charlie can’t do it, I’m sure he would tell you and recommend someone who could.
Description of Work: GuttersPlus replaced the original 20 year old chimney chase cover.

Called to schedule and Debbie was able to schedule next day. Alex and Clarence arrived promptly at scheduled time and were very cordial and professional. They wore booties in the house and used protective floor covers which resulted in absolutely no residual dirt or dust once the job was done. They cleaned and inspected stove and chimney and provided a summary report. The service also included a dryer vent check which was most reassuring as we had cleaned the vent pipe ourselves recently but had no way to assess the flow rate. We have used this company for years and the service is always excellent from scheduling to job completion.

Charlie Quaile was very professional and helped determine a good stove for my home without pressuring me to buy. After several months of comparing stoves I decided to go with Charlie's company, Chimneys Plus. Fire safety was my biggest concern. I had never used the older Majestic prefab as a wood burning fireplace and decided to install LP gas logs after we built over 20 yrs ago. The older unit was not efficient and I was always concerned about using the prefab as a wood burning fireplace even though it was rated for wood burning use. I wanted the unit installed by experienced chimney sweeps to ensure proper safety of unit and performance. ChimneysPlus had the most experience in the industry and had a good track record locally. I have been enjoying my stove now for over 3 months. The unit performs well as a supplement to my HVAC system but is too low in BTUs to be used as a stand alone heat source on those 3 dog nights when the temp drops in the low 20s. Charlie addressed this concern during the selection and wanted me to know that the expectations of a smaller stove should be considered. The installation in an existing prefab limited my selection and BTU output. Buck Stove is North Carolina company and the quality of construction is very good. Unfortunately the model selected did not qualify for the energy tax credit, but the unit is still considered a high efficiency stove by the EPA and Wood Stove Industry.
Description of Work: Installation of a high efficiency Buck Stove Model 18 non-catalytic wood stove (27,000 BTU rated) in an existing 20 yr old zero clearance wood burning fireplace. Installation included a high temperature rated 35 foot stainless steel chimney liner and new chimney cap.

I recently purchased my house and needed the chimney inspection. After having Chimney Plus come out I feel much better about not only using my chimney but the future life of my chimney. The gentlemen that performed the work were honest, courteous and completed the job quickly. I should also mention they were very clean, right from the get-go they were wearing covers on their shoes and laying down sheets to make sure my floors and carpets stayed clean. One of the things I liked most about their service was the fact that they weren't trying to upsell me on services I don't need. One of the gentlemen informed me the top-most metal portion of my chimney was rusting a bit, but instead of trying to get me pay an replace it immediately, he was honest and told me it was causing no real risk at the moment. I would highly recommend chimney plus if you need your chimney to be cleaned and/or inspected.
