The sweep was ok but they tried to get me to do $3,500 worth of unnecessary work. After they left, I had another contractor stop by and he said the $3,500 estimate was nonsense. I guess that's why the price is so low. They want to "get in the door" and then try to up sell you. Be careful.

?????? On 7/27/17 we took pictures of the two clay chimney flues that are approximately 100 years old. Almost 85+ % of all the cement bonding the inside clay flue tiles together are washed away on both. Bricks broke thru the clay flue tiles on one causing a partial 60% blockage that makes that flue completely unusable. They have gas heat. Sent our pictures on 8/9/17 to husband once we made contact with him by phone, who wasn't home at the time to prove our case. We doubt that another contractor said different? Please note that we were notified that this above review posted no more than one hour after we left? Some say the strangest things. The above has lost us since we will not do business with them even if the call us back. Thank you so much for the C.

The job went very well. Chimney Magic was responsive to my inquiry and arrived within a few days to provide an estimate for the job. We setup an appointment to install the liner and cap about a week later. The workers arrived on time and worked very diligently to perform the work which was completed in 5-6 hours. We are pleased with the results and feel that our home is safer with this improvement. The price we paid includes the chimney liner and cap as well as chimney insulation and 3 plumbing vent caps on the roof.

She brought a Angie's List deal. $99. for one chimney cap. Can't do it. Can't attach a cap to top. Nothing to attach cap to because chimney had no clay flue extensions and I would of needed to do cement work to attach those extensions. Levittown homes need a special custom cap to fit over the fireplace and the boiler chimney together because they are touching. No where close to the (normal sizes normally found on Long Island) and the sizes found in my Angie's List ad. Called back and gave a super discount but she can only afford one cap. Sorry and thanks for the C.

I am a repeat customer. I was very pleased the first time when I hired them to replace my chimney liner. So, I did not hesitate to call them back for another job. The office staff is courteous and responsive. The dryer vent was replaced quickly and he made sure the dryer was functioning properly before leaving. Don't hesitate to give Fred's Chimney Magic a call.

Really satisfies and would hire again for their professional service
Description of Work: Had originally need cleaning of dryer vent but was told I needed a hard pipe. They replaced with hard pipe and installed a lining in the burner chimney. They are professionals and tell you as it is with the code numbers.
Staff was friendly and courteous and cleaned both front and back gutters and left without leaving a mess. Referred them to my neighbor who is going to need a chimney cap!

I would use Fred's Chimney Magic again in a heartbeat! They were prompt, professional, reasonably priced, and above all HONEST! Ron & Chris came to look at our gutter that we feared would need major repair or replacement, but were honest enough to tell us that the issues we saw were likely just due to the need of a few new clips and a cleaning. Much to our relief, that's all it took. In no time they had the gutters cleaned out and working good as new. They were also kind enough to give us an estimate for a few potential issues they saw with our chimney, absolutely no pressure to commit to the work on the spot. Highly recommended company!

The guy that came out to clean the gutters went up on the roof and said that my gutters were clean because I have gutter guards and the problem was actually because one of the guards came off. He put it back on for me and didn't charge me for coming out and suggested that I contact Angie's List for a refund since I didn't need the work. He was very nice and polite and I really appreciated his honesty.

Thank you for such a great review and the wonderful A.
Mike and his crew arrived on time, worked hard for over 6 hours to get the job done which included a chimney that was lined and capped, and capped vents. Afterwards they did a broom-sweep cleanup. Overall they were a pleasant, thorough and professional crew and would definitely hire again.
Description of Work: My old chimney needed care and attention. After scheduling and meeting with several companies, Fred's representative, Mike, was hands-down the most thorough. He patiently explained the recommendations that would best preserve this chimney for the next 50+ years. Their price was reasonable. And followup phone calls to Annette were attentive. I felt my concerns were always taken seriously and promptly answered.
