Unfortunately, they couldn't help in this area, but I have to say, they were the nicest, most pleasant team of people I have encountered! From the beginning, Fred got right back to me on my first inquiry, and I called and Janet could not have been sweeter, Then Tom Murphy came right on time, looked at my mess and unfortunately wasn't able to perform the repair. He offered several other services, to which they will be the first I call!
Description of Work: I needed a catalytic converter installed in my wood burning stove.

We have a 114 year old house, chimneys were in disrepair. Sweep told us replace, but sweep didn't do that work. Three estimates were received, the one that made the most sense happened to be the cheapest, and so we went with Fred's. Mike, our serviceman, was intelligent and well spoken, showed us pictures of our chimney and explained problems clearly, and charged us at the end of each segment of the work as it was completed, rather than half down, half at completion. I have owned many homes needing major repairs and complete gut job renovations. These guys were clean, honest, and well priced. They will be doing all maintenance going forward for us.
Description of Work: Repoint two chimneys. Rebuild top of chimney to code. Seal off three unused flues, Cap all four remaining (old house: 4 fireplaces, heater, wood burning range and franklin stove at one time), line one flue to the oil burner, installed wood burning insert and relined the flue for that fireplace (flue made two turns before exiting). Replaced some crumbling bricks, waterproofed all.

This review is a little overdue. I could NOT get a recommendation for a chimney guy....at all. A lot of these companies seem to have bad reputations. That's when I turned to this website, when I had no where else to turn. That's where I found Fred's Chimney Magic. They are very responsive, and courteous. After many estimates, I decided Justin was the guy. Justin came to my home, and recommended what I should do, while some other companies literally looked at my chimney and told me " I can't help you, call a mason" He told me what to do and why. After doing some research and comparing his recommendations to other company's recommendations, I knew he was the real deal. Justin, Chris, and Alonzo blew me away with their efficiency and workmanship. They tore down my chimney, rebuilt it, installed a liner and insulated it. Its two years later and it looks like it was just done. No issues. Have recommended and would definitely hire again.

They were here maybe a day or 2 after I booked them. There was an additional charge with the $89. It was a couple of hundred dollars that I spent. They were very good and they didn’t push things. I was the one who booked it, I was the one who was what they were doing.
Description of Work: They originally came for the gutter cleaning, but then I contracted them to put in a chimney guard on the chimney.

It was ok. They did what they had to do. They didn't do the cleaning which was part of the package. They wanted to do some extra work that I didn't want done at the moment. They had great followup.
