After trying 2 other chimney sweeps with no replies I finally tried Smokey. Smokey (John) replied back right away and we were able to set an appointment soon after. John checked our chimney and determined it was in good shape and in no need of repairs or cleaning. John was very professional, knowledgeable and personable. I was very pleased and would recommend his services.
Description of Work: Checked chimney

Smokey(John) and his helper, Josh, arrived on time and began taking any removable pieces from the wood insert that would lessen its weight. They got the insert out of the house and into their truck and began to sweep and clean the fireplace of more than 30 years of soot. Very little of it needed to be cleansed up around the fireplace. A very neat job! I asked Smokey if they could put a chimney cap on the top of the chimney and were told absolutely. Smokey was very professional and knew what he was doing. I am very pleased with the results. His price was by far the cheapest we could find and he didn't charge for the cap installation. His price was $150, I gave him $200. It's nice to find people who take pride in their work and do what they say they will! I would absolutely recommend him.
Description of Work: They removed a 400 pound wood insert from my fireplace and swept and cleaned the chimney and fireplace.

Description of Work: Examined our fireplace and made recommendations for gas insert. They don't do them and therefore did not charge. Very honest!

Description of Work: The work done was good (installed a stainless steel liner). Contacting them is always difficult. They don't answer their phone and you get to leave a message. They seldom call back in a timely manner. Called again this fall for chimney cleaning and have yet to hear from them.

Description of Work: Called them six times, and left messages, about a project I needed completed...never once received a call back. I had used Smokey years before at another home, and was very pleased, but clearly there is no longer any interest in actually providing service to customers.

I have been working with John the owner for over 20 years. He always provides and honest and reasonable estimate and have used his services several times in the past. He cleaned the chimney and replaced the pipe from the gas hot water heater to the chimney to bring it up to code when I was selling my home. He did a great job. I highly recommend him.
Description of Work: CLEANED FIREPLACE CHIMNEY AND REPLACED THE PIPE FROM THE HOT WATER HEATER TO THE CHIMNEY.

John was prompt in returning phone call and the house visit was scheduled the same day. I was pleasantly surprised that John was able to perform the work during the initial visit, I had expected that the repair would require more time or material. Too early to know if the repairs were effective but the caulking looks neat, and there was no gutter or roof damage. He took time to assess the likely source of the leak. Quality of work rating could be revised up once I know the leaks have been fixed.
Description of Work: Sealed some gaps in masonry chimney flashing to remedy water infiltration using silicon caulk. Also sealed a vent pipe flashing leak.

We have been using Smokey the Chimney Sweep service for about four years. He is always on time and does a great job. He scrapes the build up first, then brushes the whole chimney.
