I went great. Steve responded quickly to my original call, arrived as expected, did the work with NO dust or dirt, cleaned up after himself. I chose Soots Me based upon Angie's List reports I had read. I did NOT, however, ask for estimates from the other companies, which both had a lower price.
Description of Work: We needed to have our chimney swept. It has not been used for several years due to an interior crack, so it needed to be swept before we installed a fireplace insert.

I have use Soots Me in the past and this experience was just as good as the previous experience. I called to schedule an estimate and the estimate was completed within a few days. The work was then scheduled and completed within a few days. When the work was completed I received an email with the invoice. They were very professional and curteous.

Very good experience. The house we recently purchased was built in 1963 and has two fireplaces and a five-flue chimney. I knew we needed a new chimney cap and possibly a new chimney crown. I found Soots Me through Angies List. Steve arrived on time to inspect the chimney and provide a repair estimate. He explained that the chimney crown only needed sealing (not replacing) and took measurements for the new cap. About a week later, a colleague of his, Chris, applied sealant to the crown and two days later installed the new cap. Aside from the new cap, Chris left no sign of his presence. And he was very careful navigating his ladders through my wife's flower garden - she didn't notice the work had been done. Both Steve and Chris are very personable and knowledgeable. I had to call three times to reach Steve, but once I did, everything went smoothly and I highly recommend them. As another Angie List review commented, these guys are craftsmen and not simply repair guys.
Description of Work: Sealed existing concrete chimney crown and installed new stainless steel chimney cap.

They didn't do anything because they told me that there was no need of cleaning the chimney. They were very honest in telling me that there was no need of the cleaning. I would rate them high overall. I would consider using them in the future if needed.
Description of Work: Soots Me Chimney Co did come out to give an estimate for chimney sweep in 2008. They came and inspected the chimney for cleaning.

He was quick. The price was reasonable and he was very knowledgeable. I think I had him come in because I'd had rats in my chimney so he came and cleaned that out. He also gave some suggestions.

e matched the existing bricks with new as both chimneys needed to be extended higher. Additionally he cleared out some blockages in one chimney. His work looks excellent and has added value to my home not to mention peace of mind that my chimneys are not going to collapse. Highly Recommended!

Deciding to switch from gas logs back to wood burning in the fireplace we sorted back through repair work receipts from years back to find the same contractor that had capped the chimney years back. Soots Me had evaluated our chimney and fire place years ago and capped the chimney. We were very impressed with his professionalism and reasonable pricing. This time he came and did the work described above with the same professionalism and reasonable pricing we had experienced before. Well done Soot Me!
Description of Work: Gas Logs removed and the gas line capped in the crawl space below the fireplace.

His name is Steve Guthrie. We've used him a couple of times. They were very responsive. They were less expensive by far. They didn't try to sell a bunch of extra services. They were very personable. They were no gimmicks and they didn't play around. We had one company tell us they needed to redo the chimney from the ground up.

Steve and his co-worker were the best! I could not believe how much soot came down our chimney and not a drop anywhere but in their vacuum. Steve was prompt, courteous and worked me into his schedule within days so it was done before Christmas. This was the first time it was cleaned in 10 years (gas logs for 7, wood for 3 yrs.) I didn't know who to call but Angie's List steered me in the right direction. We have a lot of wood and enjoy our fires, especially this cold winter. Steve is in my contact list to come back and keep our fires burning and our family safe. Thank you Steve.

On estimate all work was described in detail, specifying materials to be used and indicating 10 year guarantee on waterproofing (included in tuck pointing). Steve answered all my questions and explained anything I didn't understand. He was very easy to work with and even found a chimney cap to for the uncapped part of a double chimney.
Description of Work: Tuck pointed and resurfaced crown of one chimney. Spot tuck pointed and waterproofed another larger chimney.

I called Steve on a Monday. He came out on Tuesday and called me and left me a voice mail telling me he would try to find a new cap lid. I was pleased he came out and that he left me a voice mail with my options. Well, that was the last time I heard from him. I called him every day for the next five days. I really never understood what happened. Strange. I'd just have appreciated a call back.
Description of Work: I've used Steve in the past. I called him to fix my chimney cap as it was identified as an item in need of repair during my home inspection. I am the seller and the buyers wanted the chimney cap fixed.

It went great. Steve and Chris arrived and got the entire job completed in one day. Obviously it had to be a dry day to perform the job. Everything went as planned and Steve explained the process and answered all of my concerns. I have used this company before and will continue to do so.
Description of Work: They filled in some voids, sealed cracks, used a vapor permeable water repellant for weather resistance, anchored the cap with tap-con screws, fixed some loose shingles, and adjusted rain gutters next to chimney.
