The work was done very professionally. The provider answer all of my questions and gave detailed explanation of the work that was done. I would recommend Fred's Chimney Magic/JFT. Thank you for getting the work done, I am very pleased with everything. I also appreciated the courtesy call the next day. Very happy with the outcome. The 3 chimney caps looks great and the new liner system will definitely increase the efficiency of my furnace and restore the integrity of the chimney.

Great service. Scheduled the visit the day after I purchased the big deal. They gave me an hour and a half window and they showed up just as promised. The cleaning was thorough the the tech pointed out some issues to address in the future. Did not hard sell or use scare tactics, just took his time to explain and answer all my questions. Will be using them again when I 'm ready to address the issues raised.

The Provider showed up on time and provided the service professionally. Setting up the appointment was a good experience as well. Fred's was responsive and the represenative was courteous and followed up several times to make sure all was according to plan. Upon inspection, the Provider also recommended service of our oil flue and provided tips as to when our chimney, etc. should be cleaned. All in all this was a good service and I would use them again.

They were extremely professional, cleaned out all of the creosote that had collected over last winter from my wood burning stove, helped me out with a wildlife issue (squirrels) explaining how to deal with it, as they have a lot of experience trapping and eradicating pests, overall I am very pleased with their service, I would certainly use them again or for any of the other services that they provide.

Response from Fred's Chimney Magic
Exact deal in the Angie's List ad. She just doesn't understand it . EXAMPLE, IF A REPAIR HAPPENS TO BE $400. YOU GIVE ANGIE's LIST $149. you get back $300. of credit towards any repair. That leaves a balance of $100. to be given to the contractor. Simple. Bigger jobs are just more money. She believes that no matter how big the repair is it will not be more than $300. EXAMPLE: I CAN'T STUCCO A WHOLE BLOCK CHIMNEY WITH CEMENT FOR $300. Or rip down a chimney and rebuild it for $300. I've seen all the past repairs done on her chimney from different companies that have failed. She wasted all her money. I guarantee TEN YEARS on my repair work for a reason. Please read the ad. We don't have any BBB or Consumer Affairs complaint for a reason. Thank you for the lovely review.

Initial contact was fast after buying through Angie's list. She was extremely courteous on the phone and chose one of the dates I suggested for service. She gave me an approximate time of arrival and told me she would call to confirm the day prior to service. I received a call the day before the service informing me that I would be the first stop and the technician would arrive between 8 and 9am. The day of service the technician called and informed me he would be arriving around 8:30 am. He was very respectful, thorough, and pointed out some issues I should address. I received a follow up call to ensure that I was satisfied with the service. The customer service was top notch and so polite. I will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: They swept the chimney and provided suggestions for safety improvements.
