Response from Whempy's
WHEN HOME OWNERS CALL IN, THERE ARE ALOT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS UNITS & CHIMNEYS. WE''RE NEVER SURE UNTIL WE SEE WHAT THEY REALY HAVE. WE CAN ONLY ASK SO MANY Q''S TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY HAVE. SOME TIMES WE JUST NEED TO SEE IT!

WE HAD AN APPOINTMENT BETWEEN 1 and 4 TODAY - THEY SHOWED UP AT 1, AND EVEN THOUGH MY HUSBAND WAS NOT HOME, WAITED FOR HIM TO SHOW UP (ABOUT 10 MINUTES).
Description of Work: WE THOUGHT WE''D NEED A COMPLETE CHIMNEY CLEANING (WE JUST BOUGHT THE HOUSE & IT''S 12 YEARS OLD), BUT WHEMPYS TOOK THEIR TIME TO THOROUGHLY INSPECT THE CHIMNEY AND EXPLAIN SEVERAL FEATURES WE WEREN''T AWARE THAT WE HAD AS PART OF THE FIREPLACE. THEY DID AN INCREDIBLY THOROUGH INSPECTION.

I CALLED THAT MORNING AND THEY SAID THEY COULD COME OUT AS I HAD THE DAY OFF. THEY WERE ON TIME. CHECKED AND THEN HAD ME LOOK AS WELL. I WAS PLEASED THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO COME OUT THAT AFTERNOON BECAUSE I HAD THE DAY OFF ANYWAY AND THEN DID NOT HAVE TO TAKE MORE TIME OFF. I WOULD USE THEM AGAIN.
Description of Work: HAD AN INSPECTION OF THE CHIMNEY TO ENSURE THAT IT WAS OKAY TO USE. IF NEEDED, THEY WOULD HAVE CLEANED IT BUT IT WAS VERY CLEAN SO THEY DID NOT HAVE TO CLEAN IT.

I CALLED WHEMPY''S AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. THEIR RESPONSE - HE WAS THE ONLY QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN ON STAFF AND THERE WAS LITTLE THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. THEY OFFERED A DISCOUNT IF I’D ALLOW HIM TO RETURN. I DECLINED. THEY CALLED OVER A MONTH LATER AND SAID I WASN’T HOME WHEN THE TECHNICIAN ARRIVED AND WOULD I LIKE TO RESCHEDULE. I DECLINED THIS OFFER AS WELL.
Description of Work: WHEMPY''S WAS TO VISIT MY HOME TO REPAIR MY FIREPLACE. I ASKED THAT THEY HAVE THEIR TECHNICIAN CALL ME AT MY OFFICE WHEN HE WAS ON THE WAY SO I COULD MEET HIM. WHEN THE TECHNICIAN CALLED, HE INFORMED ME HE WAS AT MY HOME AND WAITING. I EXPLAINED THAT HE WAS TO HAVE CALLED WHEN HE WAS ON HIS WAY AND THAT IT WOULD BE ABOUT 30 MINUTES BEFORE I COULD ARRIVE. HE EXPLAINED THAT MY SCHEDULING ISSUES WERE NOT HIS CONCERN AND THAT IF I DIDN''T ARRIVE IN WHAT HE CONSIDERED TO BE A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME, HE WOULD LEAVE. WHEN I ARRIVED HE WAS QUITE IRRITATED. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN OVER THE SITUATION AND THAT I TRIED TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS THAT COULD AVOID THIS INCONVENIENCE. HE BECAME IRATE – HIS LANGUAGE WAS INAPPROPRIATE AND HIS BEHAVIOR, UNPROFESSIONAL. I ASKED HIM TO LEAVE.

I HAD A 9:30 APPOINTMENT. I CALLED AT 11:00 AS THEY HAD NO SHOWN UP. THEY CALLED ME BACK AT 11:20 TO TELL ME THAT THEY CHANGED THE ORDER OF THEIR APPOINTMENTS AND COULD BE THERE IN A HALF HOUR. NOT ONLY DID I NOT GET A CALL TO TELL ME OF THE CHANGE IN TIME (WHICH DID NOT WORK WITH MY SCHEDULE), BUT THEY WERE UNAPOLOGETIC ABOUT THE INCONVENIENCE OF HAVING WASTED MY MORNING. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

RECEIVED AN ESTIMATE IN SEPTEMBER, WORK WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COMPLETED IN OCTOBER. AFTER NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS, SOME OF THE WORK WAS COMPLETED IN MARCH. THE REMAINING WORK (THE TUCK-POINTING) WAS NEVER SATISFACTORILY COMPLETED. WHEMPYS’ FILING SYSTEM IS CHAOTIC AT BEST; THEY WERE UNAWARE OF WHAT WORK WAS COMPLETED AND OVER-BILLED ME SEVERAL TIMES. THE REBUILT CROWN WORK WAS VERY POOR, THE APPEARANCE IS VERY BAD, AND I HAVE GIVEN UP ON HAVING THE TUCK-POINTING COMPLETED. IF IT WERE COMPLETED, IT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO BE RE-DONE BY A REPUTABLE BRICKLAYER SHORTLY, BASED UPON THEIR CROWN WORK.
Description of Work: ONE CHIMNEY CAPPED, THE CROWN REBUILT, AND TUCK-POINTED AS NECESSARY. ANOTHER CHIMNEY SEALED.
