Century Chimney Sweep Inc

MR. SPOLAR DID AN EXCELLENT JOB AND MET ALL OF OUR EXPECTATIONS.

AS PER THE EXAMPLE ABOVE, GARY SPOLAR WAS ON TIME, VERY POLITE AND REASONABLY PRICED. HE EVEN SUGGESTED A COMPETITOR WITH A VIDEO CAMERA WHEN HE COULDN'T FULLY INSPECT THE BASEMENT FLUE. I WILL CERTAINLY USE HIS SERVICE IN THE FUTURE.

THEY WERE ON TIME (SLIGHTLY EARLY EVEN), INSPECTED AND COMMENTED THOROUGHLY ON OUR SITUATION, WERE VERY PERSONABLE AND ANSWERED ALL OUR QUESTIONS. NO EXTRA WORK WAS RECOMMENDED BEYOND THIS INSPECTION IE THEY DIDN'T TRY TO SELL ANY EXTRA SERVICES WE DIDN'T NEED. THEY ALSO GAVE A $10 DISCOUNT FOR SEEING THEIR NAME ON ANGIE'S LIST.

GARY PROMISED TO ARRIVE WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF OUR APPOINTMENT, AND HE DID. HE IS FRIENDLY, HELPFUL, AND PROFESSIONAL.

WORKING WITH GARY WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. DID A QUALITY JOB, MADE SURE THAT THE CHIMNEY BOX ABOVE THE FLUE WAS COMPLETELY CLEANED OUT. SUGGESTED IDEAS FOR KEEPING CHIMNEY FROM HAVING A CREOSOTE BUILD UP.

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE, CALLED AHEAD, ON TIME, AND WORKED QUICKLY.

I USED GARY FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST YEAR AND DECIDED TO USE HIM AGAIN BECAUSE HE WAS PROMPT, RETURNED CALLS, ETC. HE RETURNS CALLS WITHIN AN HOUR, JUST LIKE HIS RECORDING SAYS. HE SHOWED UP EXACTLY ON TIME. HE CHARGES A LITTLE MORE THAN OTHER CHIMNEY CLEANING SERVICES I'VE USED, BUT HE DOES GIVE A $10 DISCOUNT FOR ANGIE'S LIST MEMBERS. HE INSPECTED THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CHIMNEY FOR SAFETY PROBLEMS.

GARY WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL. HE CAME IN AND DID THE JOB QUICKLY. HE ALSO MADE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT HOW TO STOP OUR CREOSOTE BUILD UP. THE ONLY REASON I GAVE HIM A B ON THE QUALITY WAS THAT THERE WAS SOME SOOT LEFT AT THE BACK OF THE FIREPLACE THAT I THOUGHT SHOULD HAVE BEEN VACUUMED UP.

TIMELY, POLITE, HONEST, VERY HELPFUL, ANSWERED MY MANY QUESTIONS. WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND.

GARY WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND CONCERNED ABOUT MAKING SURE WE WERE SATISFIED WITH HIS WORK. IT TOOK THREE VISITS BEFORE THE LEAK WAS ELIMINATED. THIS IS THE ONLY REASON I DIDN'T GIVE HIM AN ''A'' RATING FOR QUALITY OF WORK, ALTHOUGH I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THE FINAL RESULTS. GARY WAS A TRUE PROFESSIONAL IN ALL MY DEALINGS WITH HIM.

IN THE TELEPHONE TAG TIME IN TRYING TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT, GARY WAS CONSISTENT IN RETURNING CALLS. THE CLEANERS ARRIVED A LITTLE BEFORE HAND AND CHECKED OUR CHIMNEY FOR CLEANLINESS AND REASON FOR BACKDRAFT. THEY WERE HERE AND GONE IN 15 MINUTES WITH A REASONABLE ANSWER.

THEY WERE EXTREMELY COURTEOUS AND EXTRAORDINARILY PROMPT. THEY DID EXCELLENT WORK AND COMMUNICATION. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND AND USE AGAIN.

THE COMPANY WAS VERY RESPONSIVE. THEY SHOWED UP TO MAKE AN ESTIMATE AND ARRIVED ON SCHEDULE TWO DAYS LATER TO PERFORM A CROWN REPLACEMENT. ON THE ROOF TOP OBSERVATION, IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT SOME CAULKING WOULD SUFFICE, RATHER THAN A CROWN REPLACEMENT. COVERS WERE ALSO INSTALLED TO ELIMINATE ANIMAL INTRUSIONS. THEIR COST WAS LOWER THAN ESTIMATED AND WAS BASED ON A SERVICE CALL, PLUS THE COST OF THE TWO COVERS.

VERY PROFESSIONAL AND THROUGH. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE. DUE TO CONSTRUCTION HE WAS LATE, BUT CALLED AHEAD TO WARN US OF HIS DELAY.

GARY WAS PUNCTUAL AND FRIENDLY. INSPECTED MY CHIMNEYS, TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T NEED TO BE CLEANED, AND POINTED OUT A FLUE MISSING. HE DIDN'T HAVE THE APPROPRIATE SIZE FOR REPLACING IT, AND DIDN'T CHARGE ME FOR ANYTHING. I DEFINITELY WILL HIRE HIM AGAIN!

GARY WAS RIGHT ON TIME AND TOLD ME THAT THE DAMPER AND CHIMNEY CAPS THAT WE HAVE WERE FINE. HE SUGGESTED THAT THE BATS MIGHT BE COMING IN THROUGH DECORATIVE CHIMNEY POTS ABOVE AN OLD CHIMNEY THROUGH WHICH THE OVEN IS VENTING. HE SAID HE WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLACE THOSE CHIMNEY POTS, BUT GAVE ME THE NAME AND PHONE NUMBER OF SOMEONE ELSE WHO HE THOUGHT COULD. HE WAS VERY HELPFUL AND DID NOT CHARGE FOR THE VISIT.

EXCELLENT!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM. HE IS PROMPT, EFFICIENT AND HAS A GREAT PERSONALITY. TOOK THE TIME TO EXPLAIN THINGS WITH ME AND DID HIS WORK QUICKLY.

HE DOES NOT REBUILD CHIMNEYS, WHICH HE SAID SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE TOO LONG, HOWEVER HE DOES DO TUCKPOINTING. HE RECOMMENDED A FIRM THAT COULD TEAR DOWN AND REBUILD THE FIREPLACE CHIMNEY. HE WAS ON TIME, EFFICIENT AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. HE COMPLETED THE JOB EASILY WITHIN AN HOUR, I HOPE IT WASN'T TOO QUICK, BUT I BELIEVE HE COVERED ALL THE BASES ON THE SAFETY CHECK. HE SAID HE WILL SEND ME A FULL WRITTEN REPORT WHICH HOPEFULLY IS IN THE MAIL, AS HE WAS JUST HERE A FEW DAYS AGO. THE OTHER COMPANIES I HAVE USED GIVE YOU THE REPORT THERE ON THE SCENE WHICH I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED. I THINK HE SAID IT WAS AN OVERSIGHT THAT HE FORGOT THE FORMS AT HOME. NO PROBLEM, AS LONG AS I RECEIVE IT. I PLAN TO HIRE HIM AGAIN. OVERALL, HE WAS A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. NO FUSS - NO MUSS.

HE WAS PROMPT(EVEN EARLY). HE ONLY PUT CAPS ON MY CHIMNEYS DURING HIS VISIT, HOWEVER I WILL HAVE HIM COME BACK AND DO SOME RECOMMENDED REPAIRS. HIS PRICES SEEMED VERY REASONABLE.

HE TOLD ME THAT WHAT I NEEDED DONE HE DID NOT DO. HE WAS VERY HELPFUL IN EXPLAINING WHAT I HAD AND WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. HE GAVE A REFERRAL FOR SOMEONE WHO COULD IN FACT DO WHAT I NEEDED. DID NOT CHARGE FOR HIS TIME. VERY PLEASED.

GARY SPOLAR IS A CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL. HE ARRIVES ON TIME OR EARLY, EXPLAINS WHAT HE'S GOING TO DO, PERFORMS THE WORK EFFICIENTLY AND EXPERTLY, AND ALWAYS MAKES TIME TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. THE REPAIR WORK HE DID WAS IDENTIFIED WHEN HE INSPECTED OUR FIREPLACE AND CHIMNEY, AND INSTALLED THREE CHIMNEY CAPS. AS WITH THE REPAIR HE DID TODAY, THE WORK DONE IN OCTOBER WAS EXCELLENT ("A" IN EVERY CATEGORY), BUT AT THE TIME WE WEREN'T MEMBERS AND COULDN'T SUBMIT A REPORT.(IT WAS GARY WHO TOLD US ABOUT ANGIE'S LIST, SO WE CHECKED IT OUT AND JOINED!) HE RETURNS CALLS QUICKLY, IS HONEST AND FAIR, AND DOES NOT PERFORM ANY UNNECESSARY WORK. (IN OCTOBER, WE'D SCHEDULED A CLEANING ALONG WITH THE INSPECTION AND CAPS, BUT HE TOLD US OUR CHIMNEY DIDN'T NEED IT, WHICH SAVED US $40.) GARY IS ALSO PLEASANT AND PERSONABLE, AND SEEMS TO GENUINELY CARE ABOUT HIS CUSTOMERS.

GARY WAS VERY COMMUNICATIVE ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE CHIMNEYS, A PLUS FOR A NEW OWNER LIKE MYSELF. SINCE THEY WERE IN GOOD CONDITION, HE OFFERED TO SAVE ME MONEY BY JUST DOING AN INSPECTION. ALTHOUGH I HAD HIM CLEAN THE CHIMNEY ANYWAY, I APPRECIATED THE OFFER. HE ALSO PROVIDED A REFERRAL TO SOMEONE WHO HANDLES CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE. I WOULD HIRE HIM AGAIN IN A SECOND.

A PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH, AND I WISH ALL CONTRACTORS WERE LIKE HIM.

VERY PLEASED WITH THE PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONABLE SERVICE I RECEIVED. VERY PLEASED WITH THE EXPERIENCE.

DEFINITELY A CLASS ACT. THEY SHOWED WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD, AND DID THE JOB IN THE TIME THEY QUOTED. FRIENDLY, NICE, AND PROFESSIONAL.
