David arrived on time with his crew and promptly inspected our chimneys. He then thoroughly explained our issues so we could make an informed decision about going forward. He was very conscious of not making a mess in our home.
Description of Work: David inspected our chimneys and the stove insert in our fireplace, which we hadn't used since moving into the house. He professionally explained the issues we were facing and did not try to up-sell additional services. In fact, we were willing to use him for additional services and he declined because he did not have the necessary equipment based on the nature of our call. We found him to be professional, forthright and helpful.

I called and spoke with the representative in his office. They were extremely busy due to Hurricane Irene. However, she said she would have him come by when he was in my neighborhood and check what I needed and call me. I really appreciated that I did not have to be home for the visit. Dave called me a week or two later, told me what I needed and how much it would cost. He then said someone would come by and do the work and they would leave a bill in my mailbox. That was done approximately one week later. I never had to be home for the service which was very convenient.

This Chimney Sweep service was recommended on Angie's List. The price I paid included the chimney inspections, chimney sweep , new stainless cap on chimney and clean up. Provider arrived, first inspected from outside. Then chimney, fireplace and connections all checked. Moved and fixed a loose part of my screen, and explained safe fires to me. No pressure from the provider at all to include additional services, I wanted the cap installed. David was professional, his helpers did a good job, I couldn't be more pleased and would definitely use them again
Description of Work: Checked connections. Look over chimney, fireplace, working parts, screens Check for debri, various places Examined roof from outside Thoroughly cleaned, secured doors and loose parts etc. Explained making safe fires to me

Great. Showed up on time. Everyone wore booties, had lots of drop cloths, and when they saw the relative clean state of my flues, recommended against a cleaning at this time. Also, they did a thorough job--inspected the fireplaces, as well as going on the roof. Inspected, also the chimney that serves the hot water heater. Looked thoroughly for any danger spots. I feel we are in very good shape now.
Description of Work: Examined flues for two fireplaces, inspected dampers at top of chimney, inspected furnace and hot water heater as well as the internal chimney serving those items. Cleaned ashes out of fireplace.

They were thorough, and they came in the house and put covers on their shoes, around the fireplace so none of the soot would make my carpets dirty. They were very clean, highly recommend them. Will hire only them to clean my chimneys from now on!
Description of Work: Very professional. On time, called ahead of time to remind me of the appointment. I had 2 chimneys that I asked them to clean. They told me that they did not have to clean the chimney in the living room as it was clean and that saved me money. They thoroughly inspected the chimneys as well the chimney covers on the roof and said everything was fine, so they told me that I did not have to spend additional money for something that was not needed. They educated me on what was the right thing to do with chimneys.

David and his company are consummate professionals - from my initial telephone call (I believe it may be David's wife answering the phones) to the David and his crew, who arrived promptly at the prescribed time. They were courteous and extremely knowledgeable and completely honest. I asked to have a chimney cap installed- David advised against this until masonry work could be completed on my chimney, because if a cap was installed, David indicated that a "good wind" would blow it off. Other less-than-reputable chimney companies had offered to install a cap without regard the chimney''s condition that David noted. I would use David and his company again- and no one else -for chimney cleaning and maintenance.
Description of Work: David and his crew cleaned and thoroughly inspected our chimney. He provided excellent advice on how to repair the chimney and recommended a mason to perform needed work.

I had interaction with him but I didn't do any work. I would highly recommend him from the interaction I had. He gave me information for a particular job and he referred me to someone who would do the job. He was not able to do the job but he gave me information on what I should do and should not do. He was very professional and he seemed like they were a small organization. It was him and his wife and they were both very professional and very knowledgeable. They seemed to be in the business for a long time and he definitely had lots of detailed knowledge. He was very honest because it was a job which he could have taken but he said someone else was more qualified.
Description of Work: I got a quote from David the Village Sweep about 9 months ago for concrete pouring and a new chimney.

Overall, very pleased. Good guys and very professional. I liked them.
Description of Work: We use our fireplace throughout the winter, often 5 times per week. It had been threee years since the chimney was cleaned. They exhausted the debris through the top of the chimney. Certainly created less mess in the house. They also repaired the cable connection to the chimney cap.

He was great from the scheduling process right down to the end of the work. I really liked working with him. They were great. They were very knowledgeable, well mannered and very professional.

He determined that the chimney needed to either be repointed or refaced with a concrete finish. He recommended a mason, Sposato Masonry, to us. The price mentioned about is a guess as I could not locate the receipt. His price was very reasonable and his opinions were worth every penny spent. We have used his company several times in the past seven years to clean our chimneys. Excellent jobs done by every crew. David the Village Sweep is HIGHLY recommended.
