AFTER CLEANING THE CHIMNEY HE SAID I NEEDED TO REMOVE THE CREOSOTE AND QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $300. HE SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME THIS BEFORE HAND. I CALLED TWO OTHER COMPANIES FOR ESTIMATES ON CREOSOTE REMOVAL AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $100. MAKE SURE YOU GET A 2ND OPINION BEFORE YOU AGREE TO ANYTHING BEYOND THE NORMAL CLEANING. IF I HADNT CALLED AROUND I NEVER WOULD HAVE KNOWN.

THE COMPANY CAME OUT BUT UPON ASSESSING MY CONCERNS, FOUND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT WHAT I THOUGHT I NEEDED TO BE DONE COULD BE DONE BY ME WITHOUT TOO MUCH WORK INVOLVED. IT IS RARE TO FIND SERVICE COMPANIES THAT ARE SO CUSTOMER ORIENTED THAT THEY WILL TURN AWAY BUSINESS THAT WOULDVE BEEN A MISUSE OF A CLIENTS MONEY. I WAS PLEASED WITH THEIR RESPONSE, AND KNOW THAT SHOULD I NEED ANY OF THE SERVICES THEY PROVIDE, IN THE FUTURE, I WOULD CALL THEM.

THEY DID A GOOD JOB CLEANING, BUT SUGGESTED SEVERAL OTHER THINGS THAT WERE NEEDED, INCLUDING A SPECIAL PROCESS TO REMOVE CREOSOTE BUILD-UP WHICH HE SAID COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD. THE TOTAL COST FOR REPAIRS CAME TO ALMOST $900.00. TODAY WE HAD ANOTHER COMPANY LOOK AT IT AND THEY SAID THAT IT DIDNT LOOK LIKE THEY DID THE WORK THEY CLAIMED THEY DID, AND HIS QUOTE ON WHAT HAD TO BE DONE WAS ABOUT $275.00.

DIDN'T HAVE THE APPROPRIATE LADDER. MEMBER THOUGHT THIS WAS A 2 PERSON JOB AND THEY ONLY SENT 1 PERSON.
Description of Work: HAD CHIMNEYS CLEANED AND INSPECTED. CLEANED FIREPLACED FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE BIG ENOUGH LADDERS TO REACH THE TOP OF THE CHIMNEYS. HE DIDN'T CLEAN OR INSPECT THE CHIMNEY FOR THE BOILER BECAUSE HE COULD NOT ACCESS IT FROM THE INSIDE.
