Description of Work: i had 4 windows caulked for an Angie's list special price of $149.00 . The office worker Annette was very helpful. She advised me of work that would be done and the date and time. Workers were very punctual and called when they were on their way. When they finished i wasn't prepared to pay an additional $12.85 tax. They requested tax be paid in cash which i didnt have that morning. They said they had to call the office and see if they could accept a check in lieu of cash.They found out I could write a check and i wrote ahe check for that amount. One other thing -- one of the workers came into my house and tried to sell me a brick chimney. their work was really good but I would have liked being informed of tax due beforehand.

Angie's ad said tax not included. Angie's List doesn't collect NYS sales tax. We asked him if they were interested in adding a fireplace to the house. Some people like fireplaces. Sorry that we asked you so politely. It's want we do. Thank you for the C.

Description of Work: No work was performed because there was not enough to be done. The gentleman who came to my home was so nice and honest when he told me that my husband and I could do it ourselves. The price was more than the job was worth. I thanked him and took his cards for future reference and to recommend this company to friends. I was very happy!

Description of Work: I would highly recommend Freds Chimney Magic. They are both punctual and professional . They installed a stainless steel liner into my chimney , repointed and crowned it. I couldn't be happier with the workmanship and knowledge displayed . They kept the scheduled appointment even though it was only two days after super storm sandy and said it would be ok even if I didn't have power. When they were done Fred cleaned off the roof & gutters with a leaf blower and even did the driveway. If you're looking for someone to work on your chimney don't hesitate to call Fred's Chimney Magic.

Overall ok.
Description of Work: Used Angie's List coupon for window caulking. Had FCM caulk second floor windows since I did not have a large enough ladder. Unfortunately, not their fault, but they said ladder would not fit through my basement to access back yard, so they had to do it from the inside. Not possible to do as good a job that way, but it was not their fault and the best under the circumstances.

Description of Work: They arrived promptly when they said They would and were veryprofessional. Thwy explained in detail what had to be accomplished to ensure Athat my home would be subject to carbon monoxide which is a silent killer. They perform the installation of a chimney cap and installed a liner to keep condensation from entering my recently purchased a System 2000 oil burner. I was extremely satisfied with the service Tania company performed and would highly recommend tIs firm to other Angie List customers. Edward Vaughan Farmingdale, New York 11735

Description of Work: The advertisement was to clean up to I beleive100 feet of gutters for $159. My job was much larger. it was a few months ago so I don't remember exactly but the increased charge was minimal. My gutters had not been cleaned in years. It took them a long time to get all the gutters cleaned. I was very well satisfied.

fine.
Description of Work: This was for a regular chimney cleaning using a promotion from Angie's list. No complaints - they were punctual and professional. Cleaned the chimney. However, their estimates for recommended metal lining for the (fireplace part of the) chimney and other work were too high.

We use the latest technology. The dryer vent is cleaned from the outside with a brush that spins 125 times per second and pulls and spits all of the lint out. The old technology does not get all of the lint out. It's amazing that people just don't want to change even when it's for the better.
