Great. service.
Description of Work: Inspected my chimney for broken tiles. Suggested I have a liner installed to stabilize the chimney, which was the advice my plumber had given to me when he vented the hot water heater. Will be doing the job in the Spring.

Description of Work: I contacted business owner Frank Laurich over three weeks ago to have my chimney chase cover replaced. To date he is "too busy" to start the job and has given me no start date for the project. I have waited patiently while my chimney continues to drip water into my basement. I can wait no longer. I am thoroughly disgusted and don't know why Angie's List even has contractors like this on their website. I will now have to start the process of finding a new contractor all over again and hope that there is no permanent damage to my fireplace due to Mr. Laurich not being able to provide the services he advertises on your website.

Response from American Fireplace Chimney Service
I explained to [Member Name Removed] that I normally did not replace chase tops during the fall season because of weather and the time it takes to replace the chase top , it was a spring summer job but I would try to accomadate him, but it would three to four weeks before I could even look at it. he said quote I"m in no rush,approximitly three days later he started pushing to get the job done, a polity told him I would get to the job as soon as I could or call the orther company he got a quote from to to the job sooner and less expensive I did the best I could to serve this customer , he became impatient and I could not satisfy his now demands, I try to go out of my way to satisfy every customer what ever it takes,but there are some customers you cannot please

Description of Work: The cap on the chimney, which was very rusted, was replaced with a stainless steel cap. Frank also worked to remove the rust stains on the roof from the old cap without any additional charge. I am satisfied with the work and would call American Fireplace again.

They cleaned the ash pit in my 1955 house and did a great job. They took precautions so that the ash remained contained.

I have been using this chimney service for 20 years. I always feel confident that everything is in excellent working condition after Frank has serviced the chimney and stove. Over the years, he has done several repairs starting with a chimney liner, to replacing the sealer on the doors. He always returns calls, schedules a prompt visit and CALLS if he is going to be late! He is fastidious in his work and puts down tarps and wears covers on his shoes while in the house. He listens when you explain a problem and will let you know if he has found a problem. Being a relatively new member on Angie's List, I am happy to recommend this Company to anyone who is looking for reliable, dependable and meticulous service.

Very well. .He was on time, clean, and not only professional but pleasant. I look forward to using him agian.
Description of Work: Frank cleaned the chimney - including the glass doors and the bricks in front of the hearth. He also told me the mortar on the chimney near the roof was almost gone (not sure I got that exactly right), and he fixed it. He brought me down a piece of the fallen mortar to show me what he meant.
