They cancelled at the last minute. Literally 20 minutes before the scheduled appointment, while driving to get home to meet them - I receive a call stating that they won't do the job and aren't coming out. What followed was perhaps the most well justified use of the F word during my lifetime so far. Avoid!

Response from Chimney Sweep Specialist
We did not cancel at the last minute. In fact I drove all the way to 130th and [Member Information Removed] Street from [Member Information Removed] Helens. I met my technician there and I paid my fuel and my technicians fuel to come attempt this job. A job that 5 other companies turned down. He has an old uncertified stove that he wants to go super cheap on and reattach the stove pipe. We were there for probably 15 minutes looking to see if there was any way to complete this job and keep the unit safe. We couldn’t find a way to make that happen. I called him to let him know that we could not complete the job because of safety and code and he came unglued. Calling me and my company every name in the book. Every use of the f word was directed towards me. I finally had to hang up on him. My name, company, and reputation will never be associated with a half a** half safe job that potentially could turn deadly. I was trying to save [Member Name Removed] from himself. Stay away from this guy..

Took a couple of days to get a call back, but then it went quickly and smoothly. Arrived on time, did the work within the specified time including a small repair, all within the quoted price.

The finished chimney looks great but I would not hire this company again because of their lack of professionalism. They would not take responsibility for scratching my gutters even though I have pictures showing where they loaded their blocks onto the roof in the exact spot where the gutters are damaged.

Response from Chimney Sweep Specialist
I was going to go into a whole long lengthy text but the fact of the matter is is that [Member Name Removed] was not easy to deal with from the start. He was looking for discounts even though we agreed to a price. My word is my bond, when we agree to a repair number I stick to that repair number. I don’t raise the agreed price after the fact. I did give him a discount still and then he was still looking for issues? The scratches on the gutter were from the nosey neighbor that redid his roof a year or so back. Sliding the bundles of roofing onto the roof. We are talking paint worn off of the gutters above the roof line. If we would’ve been sliding blocks on the gutter there would be dents and scratches, not just worn paint. I talked to my guys and they insisted that they went hand to hand on the handling and staging of the block. I don’t like feeling taken advantage of and I’m not afraid to express that. Check our reviews. We are very fair and honest with our customers. That’s why they keep coming back.

Went great. Originally scheduled for a later date and due to a cancellation I was able to get things done a week ahead of time. Specialist was on time, friendly, efficient and clean. Provided great advice will definitely refer people to them and use them again when services are needed.

Chimney Sweep Specialists responded to my voicemail requesting information within an hour, which I found impressive. They have a 30ft height limit for chimney work. I was not sure of the height of our chimney, so they had me send pictures. The following day two polite professional men arrived to survey the situation. Unfortunately, our chimney is such that they could not perform the work safely. I appreciate that the company sets limits to keep its employees safe, though I was disappointed not to be able to support this company. If you have a more standard chimney, please consider hiring Chimney Sweep Specialists.

Great communication from first call to service day. James was 100% pro: kind, considerate, knowledgable. Dropped price a bit because flue wasn't too dirty. Most of work done inside in living room, and left zero trace of ash, etc. Maybe cheaper service is out there, but it's relief to find a company to trust. Will happily call them in future.
