Very well. sEDe above.
Description of Work: Dunrite came punctually when the appointment time was made and corrected the problem with the smoking fireplace; they cleaned the chimney and installed a new cap on the fireplace vent to the chimney which has solved the problem. The man who came (Anthony) was professional and helpful. He advised us to have the chimney cleaned after 2 cords of wood are used in it. A very practical and useful suggestion.

They came during the 2 hour window projected for the estimate. I asked for a good price because I had an oil burner chimney and a regular wood burning fireplace chimney that needed cleanings He gave me high prices of $120. and $100. I told him initially I had the large flyer offering a 25% discount that he did not include. He "called" the office to get approval for the widely distributed offer. I reluctantly agreed because I had a busy day. I timed the first cleaning. He spent 5 minutes on it and only had the broom out about six feet. I complained. He did it over for 25 minutes as the other man vacuumed downstairs. The exhaust pipe screw was not replaced. I fixed it myself. The 2nd cleaning lasted about 20 minutes. There was still plenty of soot coming out of the top as the 'boss' told the sweeper/helper "that's enough". I paid the man in cash. I had to request that he write 'paid in full in cash' on the receipt Done Wrong.

This is the third year I've used this company and have found them to be knowledgeable, honest, professional, thorough with their work, and neat. In the past they've also resealed the base collar flange of the prefab chimney which eliminated a number issues that had been occurring. I hope to have them replace some duct work in the future, and intend on hiring them again to clean the chimney next year. I find their prices to be reasonable and highly recommend this company.

I was very pleased with their service. They explained to me what their service was all about, what they're doing, and what they're looking for. They were very clean. When they did the inside of the house, they put down like a blanket in front of the fireplace, so if there's any dust or anything, they kept it very neat and clean that I didn't have to clean up after they left. They found a couple of problems that they informed me about that needed fixing, and just made out suggestions. They educated me what needed to be done. They gave a form when they finished the job and I had a couple more questions after they had left. I called and then they called back promptly to answer my other questions which I thought was very nice. They're very prompt and responding to me.

Bi-yearly cleaning service. I had Dunrite install a chimney liner a few ago and I have not had a problem since. Courteous, prompt, and professional cleaning. I will use them for all my chimney and fireplace needs.
Description of Work: Cleaned chimney, inspected cap, cleaned piping leading to oil burner. While Jaysen was on the roof, he even inspected my fireplace interior and said it did not need to be cleaned.

Pete (the owner) came to fix the unit. He was extremely knowledgeable in gas inserts even though this brand was not something he normally sells. He was very neat and clean. I was very pleased with their professionalism and service.

I was impressed with the sale staff. They did a good job. On our initial appointment, the guy told us that he could not make it because he said it is going to rain, but my wife convinced him to come. As a result, he did the installation that day.

chimney caps, chimney sweep, gas logs

Purchased: A fireplace gas log insert with light, thermostat, and blower to look pretty, and to provide heat; that will be usable even if we lose power. It can be used at a low level, with blower turned off, as a nice little fire (which my small dog adores). The fire has several different levels, as does the blower; and comes with an adjustable backlight. The thermostat is part and parcel of the remote control, not something to be placed on a wall. At high temp/blower settings, it will quickly warm up my tall-ceilinged, large living room with one window wall (a room difficult to keep at a comfortable temperature during the winter). Both the fireplace and remote can be battery-operated, although the fireplace is plugged into electric in normal operation. Installation: Installation was done just before Christmas. There were some scheduling problems, but the owner (Peter Westbrook) made sure that he and his crew arrived on the promised date, even tho it was late. They cleaned the chimney first, then installed a new cap and placed the 2 in-out air pipes for the insert. Then, the insert was put in place and connected to the previously-installed gas line (you call your local plumber for this) and the air pipes. Then the logs I had chosen (there are several styles) were placed inside; and the glass barrier (no more marshmallow roasts with this setup!) and the facing I'd selected (also multiple styles) were put in place. They tested it, and the fire looked great; so the crew went home, late in the evening, to their families. Problem: Turns out, I had to click the remote button 5-10 minutes repeatedly before the fireplace would stay lit. I called the company, and they promised to send someone out right after the holidays. Wasn't so bad at first, since I was so enchanted with the fireplace! But that got old quickly. Resolution: Peter Westbrook came out, and had his man back on the roof checking the placement of the air pipes. They were fine. After checking several items inside, Peter discovered it was all due to a slight misalignment of the ceramic logs; a sensor was blocked. He adjusted that (only a matter of inches). Nowadays, I click once, and my fireplace lights up and works like a charm! I absolutely love it, and am happy to rely on Dunrite Chimney & Stove for all annual checkups and cleanings, since they have been so courteous and cheerful and reliable.

Some problems with scheduling, like waiting around all day. Workers were not on time, but once they showed up work was done timely and professionally and with care. Don't schedule work on days that you have even the smallest errands and you'll be happy with everything else. Clean and neat.
Description of Work: Good honest company and very helpful and willing to talk to you as long as it takes to answer questions. Had a stove put into my house using a previous exterior chimney left here by former homeowners. They were able to use it and didn't try to sell me something I didn't need, like another chimney. Price on piping is what raised the price-too high-but after shopping around found that its the going rate. Couldn't avoid it.

I explained above, it was an excellent experience.
Description of Work: We had gas logs placed into our already existing fireplace. Dunrite Chimney & Stove were informative, pleasant, & made this installation easy and effortless. We just moved into this house in September 2012, what a difference the fireplace makes, wonderful! Highly recommend this company! It did cost 900.00 to have our plumber bring the gas line up to main floor. Reccomend Dunrite highly!

It went very well all around, especially considering the work was performed in 90 degree summer heat and constant up and down the ladder to the roof to the chimney, carrying a very large and very heavy stainless steel liner. The worker (sorry, forgot his name) had discovered the crumbling mortar and bricks when I called to have the chimney cleaned, and as a result did the necessary repairs and installed the new chimney liner. He, and his helper, worked very hard the entire day in very hot and humid weather and would not quit until the job was completed. They were polite and pleasant and performed their job professionallly.
Description of Work: Installed 30 ft stainless steel liner and custom double stainless steel connector at base of chimney. Installed stainless support collar. Repaired cement crown and sealed cement crown. Re-cemented base of chimney with refractory mortar. Jack-opened and repaired foundation where smoke pipes enter.

Starting with the friendly lady, Ellen, who answered my initial phone inquiry, to the completion of the job by Anthony, doing business with Dunrite was a pleasure. My work was scheduled soon after I agreed to go ahead, they arrived on time, and completed the work with care and competence. I can't think of one thing that might be considered a negative about this company.
Description of Work: Dunrite is a reliable, trustworthy, and competent company. They do high quality work at a reasonable price. After doing significant research, I selected Dunrite based on their reputation, overall scope of knowledge of fireplaces, chimney and gas appliances. I am converting a wood burning fireplace to gas logs and a prerequisite is to have my masonry fireplace box and chimney cleaned and inspected, have air inlet and ash dump openings sealed off, and block open the damper. My technician, Anthony, was very familiar with the conversion requirements and went above and beyond to provide me a first rate job. He uncovered a couple of chimney problems (ones I suspected) that needed attention and after discussing various options, the problems were immediately repaired. I am totally satisfied with the work performed and the fair price charged. After I get the gas lines installed by a plumber, the gas log set in hand, Dunrite will come back and get everything operational. How's that for total system service! In addion, while on the roof, an inspection was made of my gas furnace/ hot water chimney. I was aware the over 50 year old chimney had some problems which Anthony found and reported to me. Based on my experience with their work on my fireplace chimney, I have decided to go ahead with having Dunrite (Anthony) make the necessary repairs. I fully expect to receive another first class job.
