Century Chimney Sweep Inc

Gary said that the chimney wasn't very dirty and didn't charge me for the inspection. There is a problem with our basement fireplace and Gary recommended another company with a camera to investigate it. I was impressed by his honesty and professionalism.

I appreciate his honesty in saying that I didn't need a cleaning. I also peppered him with several other questions and he was very helpful in responding. Clearly a smart guy, who knows what he's doing.

Gary was right on time. He said the chimney did not need to be swept. He was going to put a cap on the chimney but it was too icy. He said he would come back to install. There was a minor problem he showed me and told me how I can fix it myself. He didn't charge anything. He was honest and polite. I will definitely call him when (if ever) it warms up.

COURTEOUS SERVICE and QUALITY WORK IS THE NAME OF THE GAME FOR CENTURY CHIMNEY. THEY WERE PROMPT, ON TIME FOR THE APPOINTMENT, PERSONABLE, ANSWERED ALL OF MY QUESTIONS, and DID AN EXCELLENT JOB EXPLAINING THE WORK THEY WERE DOING. I WILL GLADLY HIRE CENTURY CHIMNEY AGAIN!

EXCELLENT, VERY PROFESSIONAL, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND COMPETENT.

HIS PRICES ARE REASONABLE, HE DOES A GOOD JOB, and HE SHOWS UP WHEN HE SAYS HE WILL.

I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE SERVICE. GARY WAS VERY HONEST. HE SAID THAT MY CHIMNEY WAS REALLY NOT VERY DIRTY and I COULD WAIT A FEW YEARS BEFORE HAVING IT DONE.

GARY WAS WONDERFUL! VERY PROMPT- NOT ALWAYS EASY AT 7:30 IN THE MORNING. HE WORKED QUICKLY and EXPERTLY. WE SPOKE ABOUT MOVING AN EXISTING CHIMNEY CAP TO THE MAIN FURNACE CHIMNEY. HE BROUGHT IT DOWN TO SHOW ME and LET ME MAKE MY OWN CALL ABOUT WHETHER TO USE IT. IT WAS QUITE RUSTY and WOBBLY. HE DID NOT PUSH ME TO BUY A NEW ONE. GARY ALSO SHOWED ME SOME MAJOR CRACKS IN MY CHIMNEY CROWNS THAT I DIDN'T KNOW WERE THERE. HE QUOTED ME A PRICE TO REPAIR THEM NEXT SPRING AFTER ASSURING ME THAT THINGS WOULD BE FINE FOR THIS WINTER. I THOUGHT THAT WAS GREAT- NOT PUSHING ME TO HAVE WORK DONE RIGHT AWAY. HE ALSO SPENT TIME EXPLAINING TO ME HOW MY CHIMNEY WORKED, WHERE POSSIBLE LEAKS MIGHT OCCUR, and HOW I COULD TAKE BETTER CARE OF IT ALL AROUND. I WAS VERY SATISFIED WITH CENTURY CHIMNEY and I FOUND THE PRICES VERY COMPETITIVE. I WILL DEFINITELY BE CALLING GARY BACK IN THE SPRING.

VERY PROFESSIONAL. ARRIVED ON TIME and WAS VERY INFORMATIVE.

WE WANTED THE CHIMNEY CLEANED AS THIS WAS THE FIRST WINTER FOR US IN THIS HOUSE. WE ALSO THOUGHT THERE WAS AN ANIMAL IN THE CHIMNEY. GARY DID A THOROUGH INSPECTION and WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL. HE ARRIVED ON TIME. HE DID NOT FIND ANY ANIMALS and SAID THE CHIMNEY DID NOT NEED CLEANING, SO HE ONLY CHARGED US FOR AN INSPECTION. HE GAVE US A LOT OF VALUABLE INFORMATION and RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT THE CHIMNEY- HOW TO KEEP IT CLEAN, MINIMIZE HEAT LOSS, ETC. I WOULD DEFINITELY USE HIM AGAIN.

GARY RETURNED OUR PHONE CALL IMMEDIATELY AND WAS ABLE TO SCHEDULE A VISIT TO OUR HOME WITHIN A WEEK. HE WAS THOROUGH, FRIENDLY AND ANSWERED ALL OUR QUESTIONS. WE WILL USE HIM AGAIN.

I LEFT A MESSAGE TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO GET AN ESTIMATE ON CHIMNEY REPAIR. MY CALL WAS NEVER RETURNED.

HE WAS CONSCIENTIOUS TO CALL AND ADVISE HE WAS RUNNING 20 MIN. LATE. HE PROVIDED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CHIMNEY CAPS AND WAS GENERALLY HELPFUL.

MR. SPOLAR WAS VERY PLEASANT WHEN I SPOKE TO HIM ON THE PHONE. HE WAS HAPPY TO ACCOMMODATE MY SCHEDULE WHEN SCHEDULING THE WORK. HE ARRIVED PROMPTLY, AND GOT RIGHT TO WORK AFTER ASKING ME A FEW PRELIMINARY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FIREPLACE'S HISTORY AND HOW WE USE IT. HE PROTECTED THE AREA AROUND MY FIREPLACE BEFORE CLEANING AND INSPECTING THE CHIMNEY, AND HIS WORK WAS CLEAN AND TIDY. HE WAS, AT ALL TIMES, PROFESSIONAL AND FRIENDLY, AND DID NOT TRY TO SELL ME THINGS I DID NOT NEED. HE WAS ALSO VERY FRIENDLY AND TOLERANT OF MY 4 YEAR OLD PEPPERING HIM WITH QUESTIONS. THE ACTUAL PRICE OF THE CLEANING, INSPECTION AND SMALL REPAIRS WAS ONLY $85 - THE REMAINING FEE WAS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CHIMNEY CAP, WHICH HAD SEEN BETTER DAYS. OVERALL, I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH MR. SPOLAR'S PROFESSIONALISM AND WORK AND WILL DEFINITELY BE USING HIM IN THE FUTURE.

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! GARY WAS POLITE, PROMPT, AND EXPLAINED WHAT HE WAS DOING. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. $10 OFF WITH ANGIE'S LIST MEMBERSHIP.

GARY WAS GREAT TO WORK WITH. HE WAS INITIALLY CALLED TO REMOVE BIRDS FROM CHIMNEY. HE TRIED BUT COULD NOT GET TO THEM. HE HAD ME CALL HIM ONCE THE BIRDS VACATED SO HE COULD CLEAN AND REPLACE THE MISSING CHIMNEY CAPS. CLEANING WAS $95 AND CAPS WERE $79 EACH.

WE WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND GARY TO ALL OF OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY - HE IS EXTREMELY POLITE, PUNCTUAL, EFFICIENT, AND FAST - HE COMPLETED THE ENTIRE JOB WITHIN AN HOUR AND DID NOT LEAVE ANY KIND OF MESS! OUR LIVING ROOM WAS REALLY STARTING TO REEK (LAST FRIDAY WAS OVER 90 DEGREES) AND SO IT WAS WONDERFUL THAT HE CAME OUT SO QUICKLY AND GOT THE JOB COMPLETED IN SUCH A SHORT TIME (WE GOT TO THE BALLGAME BY THE MIDDLE OF THE 2ND INNING!) HE DESERVES A 'PAGE OF HAPPINESS' AWARD!

GARY WAS VERY RESPONSIVE. I CALLED AND LEFT A MESSAGE AND HE RESPONDED IMMEDIATELY. HE SCHEDULED A DATE AND TIME TO PROVIDE A FREE ESTIMATE. HE CALLED 15 MINUTES PRIOR TO ARRIVING. HE INSPECTED THE CHIMNEY AND SAT DOWN WITH MY WIFE AND EXPLAINED WHAT HE WOULD DO. GARY IS VERY PERSONABLE AND FRIENDLY. WHEN I CALLED TO GIVE HIM THE JOB; HE AGAIN RETURNED MY CALL IMMEDIATELY AND AGREED TO COME THE VERY NEXT AFTERNOON. HE IS VERY CONSIDERATE AND CUSTOMER-ORIENTED. HE WAS RUNNING LATE AND CALLED TO LET ME KNOW. HE COMPLETED THE WORK IN A COUPLE OF HOURS; CLEANED UP AFTER HIMSELF AND DID A FINE JOB. HE TOLD ME TO CALL, IF I HAD ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS. MY WIFE AND I ARE VERY PLEASED.

GARY SPOLAR, OWNER, WAS VERY EFFICIENT.

UNABLE TO PERFORM THE PARTICULAR WORK THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE DONE - BUT GAVE ME THE NAME OF ANOTHER CHIMNEY REPAIR SERVICE THAT COULD DO SO.

1ST -- HE DIDN'T JUST COME ON TIME. HE CAME EARLY! I WAS FULLY PREPARED TO PAY TWICE THE PRICE BECAUSE I HIRED GARY TO DO MORE WORK. HE CHECKED THE CHIMNEY AND DECIDED IT WASN'T NECESSARY. HE EASILY COULD HAVE TAKEN MY CASH, BUT DIDN'T.

GARY CALLED TO ASK IF HE COULD ARRIVE AN HOUR OR SO EARLIER THAN PROMISED, WHICH WAS FINE. WE LOOKED TOGETHER AT THE INSIDE OF THE CHIMNEY; THE BASEMENT TO SEE IF THE FURNACE WAS TIED INTO THE FIREPLACE FLUE (YES); AND LOOKED AT BOTH CHIMNEYS FROM THE FRONT/BACK OF HOUSE. HE EXPLAINED WHAT PROBABLY NEEDED TO BE DONE; WANTED TO GO UP TO BOTH CHIMNEYS TO SEE. WHEN HE CAME DOWN, WE AGREED ON THE WORK AND PRICE. HE WAS HERE A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR. NICE GUY, PROFESSIONAL, GETS JOB DONE.

GREAT EXPERIENCE. SINCE SWEEP WAS NOT ADVISABLE, OWNER DID NOT CHARGE ME. THEY WERE VERY PROMPT AND COURTEOUS.

PROMPT, COURTEOUS, AND WON'T ''TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE.'' I CANNOT RECOMMEND CENTURY CHIMNEY ENOUGH. I WILL DEFINITELY BE USING THEM FOR MY FUTURE CHIMNEY NEEDS.

GARY SPOTTED A PROBLEM WITH MY CHIMNEY WHILE CLEANING IT, AND PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE FOR REPAIRS. TURNED OUT TO BE LESS THAN HE'D ANTICIPATED AND COST WAS ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY. VERY RESPONSIVE AND HONEST - A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH.
