what a nice man. He took extra time to show me a few things on my fireplace that I never knew how to use. He also remove fireplace cover for me at no extra charge. I never felt like I was trying to be sold on additional services(like so many chimney sweepers do)It was nice working with an experienced person who understood the dynamics of my fireplace. I would use him again and refer highly to friends.

He arrived on time for the appointment. He called the day before to confirm the appointment. After looking at the chimney, he said that it was in good shape and I didn’t need the service. I appreciated his honesty and he advised on how to get a refund. I would use him again in the future.

He came in, quickly confirmed that there was a gas leak through the chimney that needed to be resealed. He showed up promptly, assessed the situation quickly and installed a two ply stainless steel liner. He did a great job. He was very polite, knowledgeable, proficient, and neat.
Description of Work: The gas guy came to my house to check the gas meter, he had a really good nose and smelled gas. He told me that I needed to call someone, so I called Angie's List to get recommendations.

Called with a possible bird in the gas hot water heater flue and a need for a chimney cap. Roger was able to address my problem and concern about a blockage of the flue from the aminal by the next day. His appointment was prompt with a friendly, professional manner. Checked and cleaned the hot water heater flue and removed the squirrel from the chimney base. He installed a S/S lifetime cap , checked the chimney crown, repaired minor flaws in the bricks and saw no need for a chimney cleaning.

I am happy with the work. After calling for an appointment, it did take over two weeks to be put on the schedule. He called early because he was in the area and was able to come out before the scheduled appointment. His cost was a little cheaper than the other estimates I received. However, there was a delay in the work and it took longer than it would have with another company. Also, he never called to confirm that he was coming out for the appointment. He did do great work and was very professional. He came, cleaned up, and completed all the work. I haven't have any problems with the work.
Description of Work: He put in a whole new lining in my chimney and a new cap.

I moved people and came to you as soon as you called during a storm to look at the chimney and determine if the chimney was safe, our schedule time for the next available repair was two weeks, if there was an urgency or something dangerous I would have fit you in sooner, I don't think that deserved a negative review. Responsiveness and punctuality, I responded right away and came to you, and punctuality, we were right on time.

Work went extremely well. The end result - a lined chimney, with a new cap, and minor masonry work - was professionally done. The two workers were friendly and easy to talk with, answering our questions and explaining the work that would be done, including approximately how long the job would take.
Description of Work: Chimney was inspected and cleaned. This included removing a smalll tree that was growing on the chimney. On second visit, a liner was inserted and a new cap installed. Masonry work also done near top of chimney.

We could not have been happier with our choice to use Best Way to repair our chimney. Roger, the owner, did not quote us the lowest price, but he was willing to reuse what bricks that he could and by blending the old with the new, you cannot see that the chimney had ever been repaired. Of the other quotes, one was more expensive and was pushing for unnescessary add ons and the less expensive estimate insisted on using all new brick even though he admitted that the color wouldn't match well. Roger did the masonary work himself and displayed an obvious pride in his work. He was prompt, courteous and friendly and everything that he said he would. I could not be happier to have hired him and would not hesitate to use him again should the need ever arise.
Description of Work: Lightening hit our house and damaged the chimney. The to 10 layers of brick were damaged as well as the top 2 sections of the ceramic liner, which was cracked and needed replacement. The flashing was checked and there was also a good draft and no carbon monoxide problem. Some of the old bricks were in good condition so they were blended in with new ones when the top was rebuilt. They built a new crown, resealed the flash to ensure that there would be no leakage, cleaned the chimney and reinstalled the old chimney cap which was in good condition. They cleaned up everything, and left the place looking better than it did before they arrived.

Very well overall. There was a lot of questions on my part about which fireplace insert to purchase for a correct fit and look for my fireplace which isn't a standard size or configuration. Roger answered numerous calls of mine to answer all my questions and make sure I purchased the correct unit. When the installation date came, Roger & his team worked hard to get everything done in one day and even went above and beyond to cut the brick trim around the insert and do some finishing with cement even though this is more of a mason's task. They then provided instruction on use of the insert and maintenance advice. I am very please with the experience with Best way chimney and would use them again.

The entire experience could not have turned out any better. It's not too often now days that that this statement can be made. Roger and Dave arrived right on time for both the estimate and then several days later for the actual work. I've been around for a while and it's great to see that old world style craftsmanship, dedication and honesty still exist. Roger did what was necessary to correct my problem and then some. He also included some work which was not originally called for without any charge. They were both friendly, easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. I will certainly use them again and I recommend them highly.
Description of Work: 25ft. of 6" 2 ply new stainless steel liner was installed in my chimney. A new crown and new stainless steel cap was also put in place. Pointing of bricks was performed as well. Tee connection at base was then cemented to wall. In addition my fireplace chimney was sealed and flashing redone to preven future leaking .All debris was removed and vacuumed clean.

Another chimney company said that two 90 degree bends in the chimney would not allow a liner to be used. When Roger inspected the chimney from the bottom and top, he ascertained that a liner was possible since the flue contained NO severe angles. He gave me a price that I considered fair, and performed the work. He did a very nice job.
