STEVE WAS FRIENDLY, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND GAVE A LOT OF FREE ADVICE ON HOW WE COULD SEAL OFF THE FIREBOX OF OUR UNUSABLE FIREPLACES WHEN HE CAME FOR THE FREE ESTIMATE ON THE CHIMNEY. HE SHOWED THE PRODUCT CATALOG AND EXPLAINED THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CAPS AVAILABLE -- ONE LARGE ONE TO COVER BOTH FLUES OR TWO SINGLE ONES, WHICH MIGHT BUMP AGAINST EACH OTHER. HE CALLED EARLY WHEN SNOW WAS MAKING HIM RUN LATE ON THE WORK DAY, SO I WAS ABLE TO PLAN. (WE CALLED ONE OTHER COMPANY THAT SAID CHIMNEY CAPS START AT $300 AND THEY WOULD CHARGE $120 JUST TO COME OUT FOR AN ESTIMATE.)
Description of Work: SEALED TOP OF UNUSABLE TWO-FLUE CHIMNEY AND INSTALLED CAP. CUSTOMER PAYS HALF OF ESTIMATE UP FRONT AND HALF AFTER WORK DONE.

AFTER I PAID HIM HE CAME OUT AND WRAPPED CHIMNEY BECAUSE THERE WAS A LEAK IN MY BASEMENT SO I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE CHIMNEY AND IT ENDED UP BEING MY FRIG, HE DID A GREAT JOB AND CAME OUT RIGHT AWAY. THE PRICE WAS GOOD TO, I HAD QUOTES UP TO 3000 AND THEY WANTED TO INSTALL NEW LINERS. HE TOLD ME WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND I THINK HE IS VERY HONEST AND COURTEOUS.
