THIS IS A ONE-MAN OPERATION, AND HE WAS FANTASTIC! SUCH A NICE GUY TO DEAL WITH, VERY THOROUGH, AND WORKED STRAIGHT THROUGH FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS WITHOUT A BREAK. THE WORK ENDED UP BEING MORE INVOLVED THAN HE'D EXPECTED, BUT HE STUCK WITH HIS INITIAL ESTIMATE, DESPITE ALL THE EXTRA TIME HE PUT IN. HE WAS ALSO MINDFUL ABOUT HAVING US MOVE OUR CARS SO THEY WOULDN'T BE DAMAGED BY CEMENT DEBRIS. HE COMPLETELY CLEANED UP AFTER HE WAS DONE WITH THE WORK, TOO.
Description of Work: CAME AND DID A COMPREHENSIVE ESTIMATE--INSPECTED THE CHIMNEY AND FIREPLACE AND GAVE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTLOGS TO USE, SINCE OUR FIREPLACE WAS RENDERED ''DECORATIVE ONLY'' BY A PREVIOUS OWNER. LATER CAME BACK TO DO REPAIR WORK TO THE CHIMNEY--MORTAR JOINTS WERE ALMOST TOTALLY DETERIORATED AND HAD TO BE REBUILT.

STEVE WAS VERY PROMPT, VERY REASONABLY PRICED, VERY COURTEOUS AND FRIENDLY. HE REASSURED ME HE HAD INSURANCE AS HE WAS CLIMBING UP ON HIS LADDER TO THE SECOND FLOOR ROOF AND I WAS NERVOUS WATCHING HIM DO HIS WORK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VERY, VERY QUICK RESPONSE AND GOOD WORK.
Description of Work: THE SCREEN ON THE CHIMNEY WAS BLOWN UP A LITTLE AND WAS NOT TIGHT ON THE CHIMNEY. STEVE PUT THE SCREEN DOWN ON THE CHIMNEY AND PUT A SPECIAL GLUE AROUND IT TO KEEP IT FROM BLOWING UP AGAIN. HE ALSO CHECKED THE CHIMNEY FOR BIRDS AND ANIMALS.

SPOKE WITH THE OWNER AND SET APPOINTMENT FOR A SPECIFIC DATE, BUT HE COULD NOT GIVE ME A SPECIFIC TIME. HE SAID IT WOULD BE SOMETIME IN THE AFTERNOON OF THE DATE WE AGREED UPON AND HE WOULD CALL THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT TO CONFIRM A TIME. IT IS NOW 10 DAYS PAST THE DATE OF OUR APPOINTMENT, AND I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM HIM AGAIN. NO PHONE CALL, NO SHOW. I HAVE CALLER ID AND KNOW NO ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO CONTACT ME. APPARENTLY HE DID NOT NEED THE WORK AND DIDN'T DEMONSTRATE THE PROFESSIONALISM TO CALL AND INFORM ME.

STEVE TOLD ME BOTH OF THEM WERE IN GOOD SHAPE AND DID NOT NEED CLEANING. HE WAS TO RETURN AND PUT A SELF SEALING CAP ON ONE BECAUSE THE DAMPER WAS LETTING IN COLD AIR. I DECIDED TO PUT A TOP SEALING DAMPER ON BOTH AFTER EXPERIENCING A BACK DRAFT AND SOME SMOKE IN THE BASEMENT. STEVE DID A GREAT JOB INSTALLING THEM AND EXPLAINING HOW THEY WORKED.

STEVE IS VERY HONEST AND FRIENDLY. HONESTY IS HARD TO FIND IN THE CHIMNEY SWEEP BUSINESS IN MY EXPERIENCE. I HAD TO CALL 6 COMPANIES AND THEIR QUOTES RANGED FROM 1000-4000 DOLLARS. STEVE DID THE JOB FOR 300 BUCKS AND TOLD ME WHAT WAS URGENT TO DO NOW AND WHAT COULD WAIT. HE GAVE ME ESTIMATES ON FUTURE WORK AND HIS PRICES WERE LOWER THAN ALL THE OTHERS. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE!

WHEN I CONTACTED SOOTS ME TO RECEIVE AN ESTIMATE ON CHIMNEY REPAIR, HE EXPLAINED THAT THEY ARE IN THE BUSY SEASON RIGHT NOW AND THAT THEY COULD DO THE ESTIMATE, BUT IT WOULD BE A FEW DAYS. THEY NEVER CAME AND DID THE ESTIMATE, NOR DID THEY RETURN THE CALL TO TRY AGAIN. I ONLY GAVE THEM THE ONE OPPORTUNITY, AND THEN WENT AHEAD WITH THE COMPANY WHO DID RETURN THE CALL AND GIVE THE ESTIMATE.

STEVE WAS GREAT TO WORK WITH AND VERY HONEST ABOUT WHAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED NOW AND WHAT CAN BE PUT OFF UNTIL LATER. I HAD ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED A REPORT WITH A FAILING GRADE ABOUT RESPONSIVENESS. HOWEVER, ONCE I DID CONTACT STEVE, VIA THE INTERNET, HE WAS VERY GOOD ABOUT RETURNING E-MAILS AND PHONE CALLS. HE SHOWED-UP WHEN PROMISED AND CALLED IF THERE WERE ANY DELAYS. WE WILL NEED TO REPLACE OUR CHIMNEY LINER -- TO THE TUNE OF $2500 -- AND I WILL DEFINITELY USE SOOTS ME FOR THE JOB.
