They arrived on time, performed all work in a timely manner. They were very professional. The price was reasonable for the work performed. They cleaned the roof and the work area by the oil burner and left it as if they were never here. I was very happy with the job and have all ready recommended them to a friend who needs the same work done. A+ job. Thanks.

I had a contractor give me an estimate on converting my oil furnace to gas and just happened to take a peek inside the exhaust flu and noticed a virtual complete blockage with broken and disintegrated pieces of the original terra cotta liner. I immediately went to Angie's List to find the highest rated chimney cleaners and the people at Fred's were so incredibly nice and responsive. I had 2 guys at my house within 2 hours cleaning it all out. I couldn't believe how much was in there. Now the exhaust is completely clear and I can feel safe that harmful gases won't be backing up into my house. Originally the cleaning was only $79, but while the workers were on my roof, they noticed that my chimney cap was the incorrect size and was being held on by silicone and a prayer so I had them replace the cap as well for an additional $189.

All the technicians were very professional. Mike arrived at my property on Monday, February 17, 2014, and gave me an estimate for the repair/replacement, and due to the nature of the cold weather, was able to set up an appointment for two days later, Wednesday, February 19, 2014. Mike and his two co-workers, George and Alonzo, arrived on time Wednesday morning and got started immediately. The broke all the old cracked clay that lined the inside wall of the chimney, and after cleaning out the debris, replaced the chimney carefully with the stainless steel lining (three story building). After the lining was completed, they repaired the top of my chimney atop the roof and placed a stainless steel cover on it. Their work was both neat and efficient.

Tom, Eduardo and Ron did a very good job on a more difficult job than originally thought. The double chimney configuration was such that modifications to the outside chimney and the basement foundation was needed in order to get around the original chimney design. They were on time for the original assessment and the work to be performed 2 days later and came the following day to finish up. The work and the cleanup was done very well. Would use them again.

The service was good. When they cleaned out the vent the flipper that flips open outside when the vent is going broke off. They came back and replaced the flipper at no additional charge. They were responsive and kept me informed on when they would come back for the service. They are a good outfit to work with.

They did an OK job, they had me worried when one of them climbed on top of my boiler to access the chimney opening in the basement. I guess the clearance behind the heater is for skinny people so it was a little tense as I wasn't sure if now my boiler will break for trying to clean the chimney, but all went well. They are just a bit on the pricey side as I see chimney cleaning services advertising specials for $50 these days and caps for $50 so not sure why I paid $289 but it is what it is.
