The fire place was not cleaned properly. Creosote was left in the chimney. We were also told that there was a crack in the interior and We could not use the fire place until a liner and an exhaust fan was installed. The price they quoted was over 10k. Since then I have found out that their workers are pushing work that may or may not need to be done because they are working on commission. Run do not walk away from these people.

chimney caps

I was fitted for 2 chimney caps and three weeks later they returned with the caps. First he put on the caps, then he refused to clean one of the chimneys because he said it needed to be replaced. He should have told me this the first visit and let me decide if I wanted a cap on a chimney that needed to be torn down. He would not return my call.
Description of Work: I need chimney caps and to have my chimney (wood stove) cleaned.

This is the second time in seven years that Dr. Soot'n Cinder has inspected my fireplaces and chimneys. The first time they required a cleaning. The second time it was determined no cleaning needed (which is reasonable since these fireplaces are not frequently used). Prices are very reasonable. The first time was somewhere around $220 for inspection and cleaning of two chimneys. The second time I was not charged since the inspection only took a few minutes. Very pleasant and knowledgeable employees. I recommend highly and would not hesitate to contact again.
Description of Work: Inspected two fireplace chimneys.
