I bought a big deal for this service and it was both good and bad. The guys were very nice, polite and we were happy with the personnel. They went upstairs and looked in the attic. They did what they were supposed to do, but then they said they were not sure. They said we probably could use some traps, but they were not licensed to put traps in. I wondered why we hired them. That was very disappointing. They did an inspection of my dryer vents and they said they needed cleaning. I let them do that because I knew we needed it done. It was a mixed bag. The personnel were very nice and very friendly, but what I hired them for, they really were not licensed to do. He went out of his way to seal the pipe and I think he felt bad because we knew what we needed to do. They knew we needed traps inside the house and they were not licensed to do that. I am not sure why they were advertising the way they were. We don't have the problem anymore. I was kind of stumped that they were not licensed to do what I needed done.
Description of Work: I called them because we heard scratching in the ceiling so we thought we needed pest control. They sealed a pipe for me if there were mice that would be coming up.

They did not arrive at the original time I was given, they arrived after dark so they could only clean from fireplace flue & boiler chimney up, couldn't go on roof. I was given the opportunity to reschedule if I wanted to but that did not fit into my schedule for holiday clean-up. That is why I gave the quality a fair as I'm not sure that this process cleaned the entire length of the chimney However the cleaning of the fireplace and clean up afterward was well done. The men who came were pleasant

Our expensive chimney cleaning equipment from Europe is only designed to clean from the bottom to top. Then top to bottom. European sweeps prefer this way to control dust. In November we receive over 40 or more calls a day, so we can at times run late during the busy season. But perfection is always our goal! Thank you for the nice report.

They seemed very knowledgeable, very thorough, and seemed very well. They seemed to be very efficient and explained what type of materials I needed and their follow ups are very good too.
Description of Work: Checked the chimney because I had seen some bees and wasps coming out of my second chimney. They said the silicone was never finished so they suggested that as a repair. It also turned out the inside of the chimney was never completed either. They completed the silver lining.
They were very professional. I got very detailed estimate along with highly competitive pricing. They were quite open and honest with their suggestions. Justin and team came on time. They did not refrain from making some extra stops. Inspecting for the scope of the work took couple of visits to finalize what needs to be done and it did not create any problem. They showed up on the agreed time and they did everything within a day. They placed all the waste into our garbage can and left a very clean work space. Justin was available with his cell phone with my follow up questions. I believe I got an excellent service. Will definitely call them for future maintenance.
Description of Work: Install stainless steel liner and chimney cap. Insulate chimney with vermiculite. Replace old sealant with new sealant. Replace vinyl flex dryer vent duct with rigid metal vent duct.

I had a misunderstanding of what the Big Deal was I was buying. I thought I was purchasing for duct vent cleaning. Provider left me with an estimate and advise on the type of service I need.

In general, the service was okay. I saw they put nail holes in the roof so they could install the footing but they did not cover the holes. I saw a crack in the concrete cemente, as well. They did not do anything about it when I brought it to their attention.
Description of Work: I purchased a deal for $189 for chimney sweeping plus a chimney cap. I had to pay additional for a chimney liner.

Thank you. Nail was left in. Place even with roof so you can't see it.. Slight bead of clear silcone over nail so you'll never have a problem. Crack in cement was old. Doesn't need fixing. Just a surface crack. Alway ask the supervisor, not the helper. He works at ground level. Thank you again.
