The job went great. Clean, knowledgeable and the got the job done under estimate. 3 men arrived, removed the chimney, patched the roof, removed the old stove and then chiseled out the old hearth there was no dust since they set up some negative pressure exhaust fans. At noon the job was complete, no dust or dirt and completed under estimate that they gladly adjusted. The folks are honest and they will do a good job for you. We were pleased.
Description of Work: Most of the time Wells & Son's Chimney installs stoves and chimneys, we required that a wood stove, hearth and three stories of inside chimney be removed.

Wells and Sons cleaned one flue and capped off another. They inspected the liner in the working flue, which is old, and told me that it was in good shape. I appreciated that since they easily could have tried to scare-sell me a chimney liner for $2,000 or so but they did not.

They started in December and finished in January. The best part was there was no doubt at all about what they were saying needed to be fixed, which was very cool. They were very prompt and friendly. They didn't let the cat out. They were wonderful about encouraging me to look for certain accessories on my own because they are more expensive through their contractor service which was very nice. They drew me a picture and took measurements of the kind of fireplace glass doors we needed. I wouldn't have known what I was measuring.
Description of Work: I used Wells & Sons Chimney Service to do a level two inspection. They examined the inside of the chimney with a camera and they showed me places where the mortar was missing. They reinstalled mortar up in the flue and also put in a chimney cap.

I was very pleased with the servicemen that cleaned the chimney. Due to the amount of debris the task was lengthy. The lining of the chimney was delayed due to the weather. I was kept informed promptly. I am very pleased with Wells & Son and have recommended them.
Description of Work: Bricks in the 110 year old chimney are deteriorating. Chimney was cleaned in the fall and then lined in the spring. Chimney also required, stucco to be applied to the exterior.

They were on time and professional. We had some leaking in the attic around the chimney and we do not seem to have that now but I would have to confirm that with my husband. Overall we were satisfied. The price was expensive.

Between the estimate, scheduling, and the completion of the job they were very quick and efficient. The two workers were very professional and took extra efforts to ensure the cleanliness of the work area. When I need additional chimney work I plan to contact Wells & Sons again as I was very pleased with the job.

Stove was delivered. I wanted to install it myself. I purchased the stove pipe and installed the stove. It didn't seem to get very hot for the size of the room. Wells and Sons re-installed the stove, changed the blower and the container the pellets burn in at their expense. The stove workes better, but not as good as I would have liked. Wells and Sons argued with the maker and had additional parts sent. They also paid for cosmetic improvements to the unit. I had them clean out chimney and they not only scheduled it quickly, but were very fast with absolutly no mess for us to clean up. We are very pleased with the survice Wells and Sons supplied and would highly recomend them.

Two service men were on time, clean and professional. They used a Hepa vacuum so no soot was escaping and a tarp to lay down their equiptment. They were able to show me with a small camera how they checked the inside of chimney for damage, and I had none. Since I had never had a fireplace before and was nervous I would burn the house down, they took the time to explain the best way to start a fire, best wood to use and how to clean up afterward. They even started a fire for me to show me. They told me some good tips, such as warming up the inside of the fireplace first so no smoke would enter the room. They were wonderful and I will use them again. I did have to wait a few weeks, but they were worth it.

After waiting over two weeks for them to come and give me an estimate and receiving a confirmation call the day before the appointment, someone called me the day of the scheduled estimate to say that they could not come because they do not service my area. This was perplexing as I had specifically asked if they did service my area when I had set up the appointment. I had been assured that they did. I wasted two weeks waiting for an estimate that was never given. The reason provided was that they do not have a license in my area because I live on the wrong side of City Line Ave. I am sure they do good work, but I am disappointed by their un-knowledgeable office staff.

Excellent. Thoughtful and professional team. Prompt, courteous, very respectful of our home and time.I had multiple technical questions before agreeing to go forward - Dave was very comfortable addressing them, and shared with me how some of the technical calculations were done. Also very willing to use video technology if necessary (without a hidden cost to do so). It turned out not to be all that hard a job, but we did not know that going in to the project. It could have been quite involved - and I appreciated that all the costs were made clear up front.

I was really happy with Wells & Sons. I thought they did great work. They showed up when they said they would. They always communicated with me regarding what they were doing and why they were doing it. I thought they were great to deal with and I'd be inclined to encourage other members to look into them if they haven't already.
Description of Work: Wells and Sons put a new adapter in the chimney on our three bedroom home. They also did a general cleaning for us since we had recently bought our home and wanted the entire thing to have a once over prior to ever using it.

From what I could tell, Wells & Sons did a great job with my chimney work. If you use a chimney during the winter, you know how important it is to have your chimney cleaned each year. Wells & Sons even took the time to give me some tips pertaining to how to use my chimney. They lined the entire thing as well. I thought they were great. I will be giving them my business seasonally. Chimney companies can be tricky to work with sometimes so I am really glad to have found a reliable service and more importantly, one who hires people who know what they are talking about and what they are doing.
Description of Work: Wells & Sons cleaned the chimney on my three bedroom, two and a half bathroom home prior to the winter season so that it was functional for the colder months.

We made an appointment to have the chimney cleaned and have a cap installed. They were on time, cleaned the chimney, inspected the structure of the chimney with a camera which I observed with them. With regards to the cap however, our chimney was octagonal and therefore they didn't have the cap on the truck. We were told when the appointment was made that the installation fee for the cap would be waived since they would be coming to clean the chimney. Regardless, they came back two days later and waived the installation fee even though they had to make a second trip.
Description of Work: We needed two things done. 1) Having the chimney cleaned and inspected, and 2) having a cap installed.
