Scott is very good. It is a family run buisness. He is very professional. He knows what he is talking about. If it is something that he can't handle he is very good in telling you.

The safety inspection exposed lots of issues. Unfortunately the repairing is out of the budget. I won't be able to use it unless I find an affordable way.

Scott Davis came out to my house and inspected the chimney and original chimney cap for rust, leaks, and damage from squirrels. Scott custom built a replacement chimney cap with 2 vents in about 2 weeks - just as promised - and according to the estimate. He was prompt and courteous in keeping appointments with me, as well as very flexible when I needed to reschedule our second appointment. Scott was very careful about getting the old cap down from the roof and the new cap installed without damaging the chimneys, the new roof, the house siding, or the driveway. All in all, I was extremely pleased with Scott's work and would recommend him to friends, family, and anyone needing chimney work.
Description of Work: Inspected chimney; built and installed a custom replacement chimney cap with 2 vents.

Scott came out to inspect and clean my chimney since I had recently bought the house. After inspecting it he determined that the chimney was pretty clean and didn't need any sweeping. His honesty saved me (and cost him) a few bucks. He could have done the cleaning like I expected since I had no idea if it needed it or not. He also found that a gas lock was on my damper from a previous homeowner having a propane line ran to the fireplace and removed it. Now my damper closes properly and completely. My home inspector missed this. Scott was professional and personable and I will definitely be calling him again in the future.

Worker was professional and thorough. He rebuilt a cracked and crumbling mortar cap and also offered excellent advice on what to do about an old ventless gas burning insert (replace it with vented). He also offered to repair the other metal-capped prefab chimney when the inserts are swapped out.

I had called because there was starting to be obvious water damage on the inside of the the house apparent in the painted brick surrounding the fireplace. Unfortunately, once he power washed the exterior, he decided that we really needed a mason based on the level of deterioration. He was very helpful in discussing with me how to paint and clean the interior of the box to make it more attractive and clean (we don't use the fireplace) and I would call him again if we ever need a sweep!
Description of Work: Checked the chimney, installed a new cap and suggested a waterprotection service that he ultimately decided wouldn't work for our problem.

They were kind enough to move a 400 pound Big Jim insert which was not part of their job. Work was done in a timely fashion and they covered all the flooring and protected everything. They put in a lining and repaired all the cracks and fixed the brickwork on top Then once the work was done the did photo's and another video scope to show the work to me. They also made sure they wore booties every time they came into the house and cleaned everything up before leaving. The owner called twice to see how things were going and then after the work to make sure all went well. And they provided financing with no interest as well Fantastic company and crew.
Description of Work: Inspection to chimney using video scope. Showed me frame by frame all the fire damage from previous owner using wrong insert. Also took photos of chimney stack on roof of damage I did know was already there. Gave reasonable quote to reline the smoke stack and repair brick work on roof.

Excellent customer communication, punctual and professional. After inspection I was advised I did not require the sweeping service as the chimney simply wasn't in need it. The rain cap was installed quickly and efficiently and overall I am very happy with the service. Would recommend and use again without hesitation.

Our chimney is very tall and required a 50 foot ladder, which necessitated: 1) my having to cut down tall bushes on side of house with chimney; and 2) the chimney sweep having to hire another man to help hoist and stabilize ladder. I was glad that chimney sweep did not take unnecessary risks. The chimney sweep listened carefully to my goals, which were to: 1) stop rain from leaking into chimney; 2) prevent hot air from escaping from chimney (energy efficiency); and 3) keep birds from nesting in chimney. He recommended a damper that provided a good seal, was reliable and durable, and had a life-time guarantee. The unit also had a stainless steel chain that ran from the top to the bottom of the chimney, so that damper could be opened or closed inside the house. The chimney swift ordered several dampers, because he could not see what size was needed from the ground, so he could install a unit at that time.. Overall, we were very satisfied with the service and products provided by the chimney sweep. While we ended up paying more for the damper than planned, we think it was well worth it in order to meet all of our goals and never have to replace it as long as we lived in this house.

The service was great. My family and I just purchased a home and we wanted the chimney inspected and swept. I explained this was our first home and I needed to know as much information as possible about the fireplace. Well, I received just that, great detail and information about how the fireplace works, and what are the basics when using a fireplace. I felt Scott went out of his way to be clear about the information and that I understood as well. I received very good advice from a professional who I would definitely use again and recommend to my friends and neighbors. It turned out our fireplace only needed the inspection during this visit. Thank you to Scott and his company for great service and professionalism.

Mr. Davis arrived well ahead of the scheduled time which was a pleasant surprise. After doing a thorough inspection of the chimney he said and actually showed me, that it was "clean as a whistle" and that there was really nothing that needed to be done. As such he only charged me for the visit and his time. I was impressed by his honesty and professionalism because he could have cleaned the chimney without telling me that it was not needed and charged me the full cleaning price. I will most definitely recommend his company to anyone. It was a pleasure dealing with Mr. Davis.

We have not had heat for about a week (broken heating unit - another issue being dealt with) and wanted to at least use the fireplace. But it hadn't been cleaned in too many years, so I called around. Scott was the only one who could do the job before Thanksgiving. Though the appointment was for 11:00, Scott called to say he was running ahead and asked to come sooner! He was very polite, and extremely professional. Brought in his equipment after spreading a cleaning tarp. I was initially told it could take up to 45 minutes, but he was done in much less! By the time he was finished, the only thing to note that he had been at the house was a clean firebox! Not a spot of dirt anywhere in the living room or house. Scott even gave me some information on the chimney cap, which I would not have thought about. Yes, that could mean more business for him - but he didn't push or even suggest I get it looked at right away and try to schedule an appointment with me to do so. He just left it as an added service and a suggestion.

Scott had previously replaced our chimney cap, and I asked Scott to examine an area of wood rot on the chimney near the cap (no issue with the cap itself). Scott is great to work with - we made an appointment, and he called the week of and the morning of to confirm. He came out and replaced the one board. Scott's main focus was ensuring the work was high quality and that we were happy with the results, which I greatly appreciate.
