The work was appropriate and professionally done. The installers were nice guys and worked well.
Description of Work: Installed gutter screening. Unfortunately, the "deal" on Angie's List for 50 linear feet for $299 didn't come close to covering all the gutters at my home. So the "deal" was $299 but the actual job cost $1222 more to complete which, to be fair, was my choice. It would not have made much sense to do 50 linear feet only, leaving all the other gutter unprotected and subject to accumulating debris. i would certainly view future Angie's List "deals" with greater scrutiny in future, and do my own measuring in advance. In this case the final price was 4X more than the "deal". Also sales tax was charged separately on the $299.

Everything worked out fine. They came on time, and were very helpful. I'm pleased!
Description of Work: I bought a big deal for $300 Worth of Chimney Repairs, Sweeping, or Masonry Restoration + Free Safety Inspection. They also did a chimney brick spray.
Chris and his associate arrived promptly after calling to say they were on their were way. Both were pleasant, friendly, courteous and worked efficiently. It was a very good experience all in all and I would surely recommend them. I plan to call them to clean my fireplace chimney in the fall.
Description of Work: All utters were cleaned, dryer vent on roof was inspected and gutter guards were installed where needed.
Scheduling was easy. They were prompt and professional. They phoned me 1/2 hour before arriving and went to work immediately. I would use them again.
Description of Work: Honored the $144 coupon for gutter cleaning and inspection. Also inspected the dryer vent. Did some maintenance work on the gutter and pointed out some improvements that I could make.

It worked out really good and I told them that I was going to hire them again. There was nothing that I disliked about their services. They called me before and let me know when the guys would be here. They called when the guys were in front of my house. They came 5 minutes before their time, which is really good.

At first I thought there was something wrong ,at first. I originally got this company off Angie s list for the promo sale this company was having I think it was a cleaning for 69 or 79 dollars I don't remember . When they came to my house they started the service then after words they hit me with the doom and gloom how my chimney is not up to standards and it needs a lot of work and that the bill would be, let's just say what we negotiated on to what they wanted to charge me was a lot less. All in all the company was great nock on wood I haven't had any problems and my burning has been better since then. Like I said at first, it was questionable but afterwards it was worth the investment to fix. Forgive me I forgot the workers name who was at my house but I do remember he was a gentleman and answered all my questions along the way and at every step. They cleaned up everything as well and cleaned my drier vent at a discount as well.

when they came and started to work and placed plastic panels instead of shown in picture metal one!!!!! on angie's list. and said they will charge more for metal one and I was disappointed and donot want to deal any more. Initially they said they will clean gutter and easily open gutter cover with unscrew two screws per panel and power wash it but subsequently said they cannot open up gutter halmet and cannot do it!!!!!! I also disappointed to complain even at angie's list. Why wast time after this. I already wasted tremendous time after them while bumping appointment per their fault.
Description of Work: bumped appointment and make us waited long and at last said they cannot come and need to reschedule!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first timed it rained. To dangerous to work doing this job. Gutter guards received was exactly the gutter guard in the picture. No one implied verbally or in writting that it would be something else. The small gutter halmet in the corner couldn't be removed. It was rivered on. In reference to gutter guards, everyone else on Angie's List gave us A's. Thank you for the C

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. They came out very well. They offered replacing something that was optional and it turned out that it wasn't really necessary. The service was good. The person who came was very professional and we have no complaints. Everything was fine. He was punctual and did what he was supposed to do. He gave me some feedback about hat he thought would be the more desirable option and then when he checked, he realized that we don't have gas and what he was recommending was for a gas line. They're a reputable organization and they want to maintain their good standing. I would use them if I needed chimney cleaning.

From initial scheduling to a call letting me know when they were on the way to the house, communication was excellent. Tom arrived on time, took a look at the whole house and provided an estimate I felt was very reasonable for the work needed. He was efficient, polite and fully explained the charges after work was completed. I will certainly be calling them again for all future chimney and gutter work and recommend them highly!
Description of Work: They cleaned and flushed out the gutters, cleaned the roof and replaced all of the screws along the gutters.

Dealing with everyone from this Company was easy. They arrived on time (calling 1/2 before as promised); set about working, did everything requested. Tommy and his helper were polite, knowledgeable and worked hard. Janice, my phone contact and job scheduler, is a doll. It is really nice to work with a honest, up-front company without a hard sell.... just honest folks who do a great job… and call the next day to assure that there are no problems…. I recommend the company HIGHLY… this is my second review… and I am still extremely pleased… will continue to use this company for my home…

Great! Super-nice people, professional, polite, and did a great job ... for an incredible price. We had a couple of scheduling delays ... roof work in thunderstorms is not a good thing. But they kept us updated and scheduled. Very happy! Want it "done right" at a fair price? These are the guys.

What Fred's Chimney Magic/JFT did for what I bought was very good and they are very nice. They came on a Saturday so I didn't have to take a day off and I would probably recommend them. They gave me a quote for other work that was very high. I felt like I got a good deal for what I bought but if I wanted anything else it was ridiculous. I would use them if I got a good deal but I wouldn't use them to pay full price for anything else because I thought it was kind of high.

I called the office they was friendly, professional and informative. They called me back to confirm appointment. He called before arriving to my house that he was on his way. They arrived on time. Evaluated my gutters. They did a great job cleaning gutters. My husband and I highly recommend them. I will call them again in the future.
