Kicking Ash was right on time. A team of two quickly set up tarps to catch any dirt, dismantled the gas fireplace logs and cleaned them, inspected the gas valves and tested the flow of the gas. They also did an external inspection of the chimneys because I saw some discoloration on one of them. Looks like the original cap of the chimney is rusting and should be replaced. I have already hired them to fix the cap the spring when the weather is better.
Description of Work: Had two fireplaces inspected and cleaned.

Fine. I have been doing maintenance on my logs for several years without a professional cleaning. Apparently what I am doing is good as the contractor did not need to do very much to the logs. To say 'would not hire again' is not negative a reflection on this contractor, he performed the services as requested. I just now believe I can continue my personal yearly maintenance to keep my logs running efficiently.
Description of Work: Unvented gas log cleaning. They arrived on time and performed the services as contracted.

Thank you for the response. On Vent Free logs, if you can do it on your own, we actually recommend it. As long as you are cleaning the pilot assembly and burner with the proper materials and not shifting the pilot assembly, you will be fine. If you're not sure about the process, we simply ask to call and ask before attempting to do on your own. As long as you're careful, you should be fine. Thanks again my friend.

Price pn Angies List was a little deceptive. Price quoted looked like I was getting cleanig for $49.95 however that was the price to hold. Actual price was $72.00 plus the $49.95. That being said they did a good job cleaning the fireplace and flu. They provided a written report via email. Did not use tarps to protect carpet or booties on shoes. Had to remind them of dirt on carpet they tracked in.

They did a great job as they swept the fireplace, helped us better understand the fireplace and what it was capable or. Advised on maintenance duties over the long-term. It was 2 younger guys and they seems adequately knowledgeable and knew what they were doing. Only issue was around the AngieList Special as it said $119 for chimney sweep. Reserve now for $41. So we thought we were buying the entire sweep for a sale/discount price of $41, but it wasn't until they arrived and informed me that even though it said that, we actually owed much more and the $40 was only for a down payment. It was tricky and sneaky business practice.

Hello my friend. I am grateful for the positive comments on the work performed. I am sorry for the confusion through Angie's List on the pricing. Last year, the deal was 119.00 straight to Angie's List and then they would disperse to us once the job was complete. This year, they are trying this new approach with the first 41.65 going to them and then we collect the remaining balance when we are there. So I can definitely understand the confusion. I think that next year they will be changing it again, but I have not heard what the change will be. Hopefully, it will be better than this year. Once again, sorry for the confusion and I will let Angie's list know of this so that they can maybe address it. Kicking Ash

The men were punctual for the first appointment, but the electric service in our neighborhood was interrupted. They rescheduled for the following Saturday and were timely in their arrival. The team seemed efficient and thorough. They identified several bricks in my firebox which needed replacing and gave me an assessment of the condition of the chimney.

Service man removed a couple of logs. Told me they were cracked and would have to be replaced because it was dangerous to turn on the gas with cracked logs. They vacuumed the very front of the fireplace and did nothing else. I requested that they make sure the gas would turn and they reluctantly complied. Young man kept pushing to have me go to their store to get "good" I.e.,expensive logs.

Sorry to hear of your frustration. With cracked logs, it can lead to excessive soot buildup and flame infringement. This can lead to carbon monoxide spillage. That's why we recommend not using. Sorry we had to give you bad news and hope that you can find a safe alternative to the fireplace.

Shortly after I purchased the offer on-line, a Kicking Ash representative left a voice mail for me trying to schedule the appointment. I called back in a few days, and we scheduled the service visit for just over a week later. The two-person crew arrived on time on the scheduled date, and they got right to work. They started by laying down a tarp to collect dust from the fireplace and thereafter were busy cleaning and adjusting the gas log components. They pointed out several issues and features with the fireplace box and gas log, but they did not pressure me to purchase additional services or products. To the contrary, their advice was educational and for the long term. Both technicians were polite, organized, informative, and fun to talk to. I will consider engaging them for future maintenance.

I guess it was okay. The fireplace hasn't been used since they worked on it. He did a fine job, but to tell you the truth, since he's been here I don't think the fireplace has been lit. Since then I haven't used it. I will this winter. It turned out well. The price was great. I would use them again if I needed them.
