This is my third experience with chimney repair work with Wells (they are my regular cleaner) and Jason arrived at 8:30 am as promised with his younger brother Keith. They put tarps down to protect the floor and hearth. Jason removed each brick and meticulously applied mortar and re-pointed the entire back of the chimney. Keith removed the debris in buckets and they ran the vacuum during the initial dusty work. They were polite and worked quietly for no complaints, no requests to dump stuff, nothing. The finished work is amazing; it looks far better than the original firebox ever looked. I can now use the fireplace without fearing that fire or embers will escape through the cracks. I called Dan Wells to tell him how pleased I was and, acting not the least bit surprised, he said that he knew how high quality Jason's masonry work was and that he was known to be meticulous. I wish more service people cared as much about the quality of their work and the level of service as Wells.
Description of Work: My 50-year-old firebox was badly degraded (you could push the mortar through with a screwdriver and it would become sand) and I thought it needed repainting. Jason came for the estimate and poked around and determined it would need-re mortaring, which would require taking the bricks out of the back of the firebox out and re-mortaring them. (It would have cost more to do the entire firebox, but I declined to do that since the back was clearly in the worst shape.)

I can't say enough good things about the work they did. The crew was a very professional group and extremely considerate and polite throughout the job. They took the extra steps of making sure everything was done correctly, safely and to Building Code specifications. From start to finish they performed in a very professional manner. Any questions I had were answered politely and completely. The crew were all experienced and hard working. They took steps to minimize any dirt outside the work area and thoroughly cleaned up after they completed the job. The warranty was explained and details about cleaning were given. All of the materials used were top grade and correctly installed. This company could give other contractors lessons in how to give great customer service. Highly recommended!
Description of Work: Relined existing Chimney with Stainless Steel Chimney Lining. Insulated around new lining with Thermal Pour. Rebuilt Chimney from roof-line up. Installed Stainless Steel Chimney Cap. Installed new exhaust ducts from Gas Hot Water Heater and Oil Burner for forced air heater to new Chimney Liner.

Excellent work. Cleaned up nicely. Due to some uncertainty of the job, they overbid the work. (But not as overpriced as two other bidders.) Though disappointed that I should have paid less, they did nice work exactly as promised. They were the only company that knew how to fix an old fireplace.
Description of Work: Cleared fireplace flue of old terracotta liner tiles. Lined two chimney flues with stainless steel flexible liners (35' each). New chimney cap with top-mount damper on fireplace flue. Insulated between liners and existing chimney. Fitted new steel transition pieces to connect firebox steel to new flue liners. Work required scaffolding.

Over the course of three visits to our home (first for the initial inspection/estimate, next for the cap installation and furnace flue repair, and finally for the stucco application), everyone at Wells & Sons was courteous, prompt, responsive and helpful/informative. My only complaint was that about 10 days after mailing our deposit for the repair work (after the initial inspection/estimate), I called Wells & Sons to make sure they had received our check and found that they had already added us to their schedule. I believe that a call/confirmation would have been nice. In any case, I would absolutely use them again, and would recommend them without hesitation.
Description of Work: We had received an estimate for chimney work from another chimney service, who told us during the course of a routine chimney inspection that we needed more than $7500 in repairs to our fireplace chimney and furnace flue. Without giving Wells & Sons any information about the first estimate, we asked them to inspect both chimneys and give us their own estimate. Although Wells & Sons found many of the same problems (cracked liner, missing caps, crumbling stucco, etc.), their estimate for roughly the same work was $1190 lower. (The balance of the $1500 we paid them includes the cost of their initial inspection, which was slightly higher than the first chimney sweep, as well as a reasonable charge for removing a pair of unfortunate squirrels from our chimney.)

WELLS IS A HIGHER-LEVEL CHIMNEY CLEANER AND BY THIS I MEAN THEY DO A VERY THOROUGH JOB, NOT THE SCAM-TYPE DROP A BRUSH DOWN AND RUN. BECAUSE THEY BUILD, REPAIR AND LINE CHIMNEYS AND FLUES, THEY HAVE HEAVY-DUTY EQUIPMENT AND THEY DO INSPECT THE INTERIORS (AND PHOTOGRAPH THEM) FOR DANGEROUS CRACKS AND LOOSE MORTAR WHICH CAN CAUSE A FIRE. THEY SEND YOU A REPORT AFTERWARDS. ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT THE CHEAPEST, THEY ARE THE MOST PROFESSIONAL. THEY ARE EXTREMELY NEAT (THEY LAY OUT A CANVAS TO PROTECT THE HEARTH AND FLOOR) AND TAKE THEIR WORK SERIOUSLY. THEY ALSO LINED MY FURNACE FLUE,($1800) CAPPED THE CHIMNEY AND RETURNED AT MY REQUEST WHEN I THOUGHT I HAD A PROBLEM. THEY ALSO DO BRICKWORK AND POINTING. THEY REMIND YOU OF APPOINTMENTS, ARRIVE AS PROMISED AND ARE COURTEOUS.
