Description of Work: I asked for an estimate to raise my chimney by 2 blocks, cover it with faux stone and caulk 2 crakes in foundation. I was to dig down to the footing. Their estimate was way out of line....for the work I requested. I had to call them back a couple of times just to get someone to come to my place. I asked for the estimate to be broken down into 2 portions, one for the chimney raising and one for the faux stone and crack fill with urethane. The 2 estimators assured me this could be done for me...needless to say it was not. Once they decided to send someone out to estimate the job, the 2 estimators were on time.

Original date had to be changed due to sudden illness of technician. They contacted us to reschedule but we had already driven the six hours to get there. We understood they had no control over the situation and made arrangements for a neighbor to let them in on the rescheduled day. To their credit, they told us they were going to comp us for the inconvenience. Since I had already purchased a coupon for the service through Angie's List they said we would receive a refund. We have not received it as of today.
Description of Work: Cleaned and inspected chimney and fireplace in vacation home. We were concerned the flue might've had an issue, but they said it was ok so nothing needed to be done to it.

Description of Work: Installed two fireplace inserts and repaired 3 chimneys. It did take a long time between ordering the inserts and having the work done, but Sootbusters is a small operation in a very remote location. There were some minor things left undone when the inserts went in, all of which I could correct, and one thing that will need to be changed ultimately. But overall, I am pleased with the work.

This service was excellent. This is our first season with 40 year-old fireplaces and Curt was extremely helpful in explaining potential issues and how to operate and maintain these fireplaces. We also discussed options for masonry projects, for a new hearth and re-facing the exterior chimney, services which Sootbusters also offers. I highly recommend Sootbusters to anyone in need of this type of service. We look forward to working with Sootbusters in the future.
Description of Work: Curt inspected and cleaned two wood burning fireplaces and chimneys, made minor repair and recommendations for maintenance and improvements. (Our Angie's List Deal covered the cost of one inspection/cleaning; we paid $145 for the additional fireplace.)

Description of Work: Sootbusters cleaned and inspected my woodstove chimney. During the inspection they found a section of pipe that needed to be replaced. They gave me an estimate and date to do the work. The work actually came in slightly under their estimate and was preformed as promised. They are very professional and friendly to work with. When they did the work they laid down sheets around the work area to make sure they didn't get the house dirty. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing chimney work.

Very good experience. Friendly, professional. Cleaned up completely. Only concern is that he arrived about an hour early. Not a problem, since I was off today, but if I'd been working I might have not been here on time and missed him.

I was very pleased with the service that was performed by Sootbusters. My phone call for pricing & service availability was returned promptly. The crew of 2 arrived as scheduled. They were very professional & friendly. The team took great care on leaving the exterior & interior of their service in great condition. I will use them again!

We had large chunks of creosote coming down the chimney and later had what was suspected to be a chimney fire (15hrs after last fire in woodstove, felt heat coming from wall on 2nd floor). They came out and looked up to find that the chimney had not been swept before our liner had been installed by other contractor and that the liner had not been insulated. They came out later and removed the liner and insulated it (looked good, although I am no expert), brushed the chimney, and re-installed the liner. It was expensive, but I feel a lot better about it. No more chunks falling down except for some small crumbles that I guess were remnants, but even that is about over a month later. The only thing I didn't like was that when they hooked the woodstove back up they did so with it too close to the fireplace, but I fixed that in about 20 minutes with a $12 piece of stovepipe. I will get them to do future repairs and maintenance.
Description of Work: Chimney liner removed, insulated, and re-installed once chimney had been cleaned. This was for a chimney about 40 feet tall.

Curt was the technician and he was very informative. Unfortunately, he didn't have good news for me, but I'm paying him for accuracy, not necessarily what I want to hear. He told me they would follow up and his office did, on the time line Curt noted.
Description of Work: Inspection and sweep of 2 chimneys (3 flues). One flue/chimney required no cleaning, the other chimney had 2 flues, both were cleaned.
