We needed to have a portion of our chimney removed and contacted several different companies. We chose Safe T Sweep based on their reasonable quote and professionalism. They were effective, efficient, courteous and prompt throughout the entire process. We are happy with the outcome and would definitely work with them again.
Description of Work: The top portion of our chimney was leaning and posed a safety hazard. We opted to have it removed.

Jon and his son came out and cleaned our chimney. There were precisely on time and very neat in their work. Jon even showed me via photo where a small crater was forming on the chimney cap mortar. Would highly recommend - very professional and friendly and the cleaning was very thorough.

Poorly-- he installed a damper that broke the first time we used it and then never returned our calls or emails. He was a nice guy and seemed responsive, but now he is no longer reachable and we have to pay someone else to do a job we already paid him to do.

We are extremely sorry to hear that. Unfortunately we ended up having a family emergency and we're unavailable for almost 6 months. We did talk afterwards and offer a reimbursement.

Jonathan was great to work with. He was helpful when I called and was able to schedule me quickly. He arrived right on time and was very friendly. Jonathan looked at both of our fireplaces and determined only one was in need of a cleaning at this time. We appreciated his honestly as he easily could have told me they both needed it and charged me double. He worked quickly, left the area very clean and made recommendations for how we might be improve energy efficiency without pushing for an additional sale. I also appreciated how nice Jonathan was to our overly friendly dog! We will definitely use his services again.

David made several trips up the ladder to my roof where he had to then use a step ladder to get to the top of my chimney. He secured the fixture on top of the chimney & checked that the other components were OK. When I asked him what I owed him he said that there was no charge!
Description of Work: The metal top on my chimney had blown loose by a recent high wind & was just hanging by one corner. I called David & he came the next day. He secured the chimney cap & checked that everything else was OK.

Thank you for finding the time to write a review, it's about 1 in every 6 people on Angie's list that take the time to write a review. So we really do appreciate it. That was some wind storm, I have had to reinstall quite a few caps for people that found their caps on the lawn or the disintegrated galvanized lids. Have a great summer hopefully the snow is out of here for good.

I apologize for not getting back to you sooner, but we are unable to help you at this time. Could you please look up the following passages and ask yourself who they are talking about; Psalms 22, Isaiah 53, Jeremiah 31: 31-35, Daniel 9:24-27 and Proverbs 30:4. Please remember, that I did show up the first time your housekeeper was late and I even waited around an extra 20 minutes.

Answered our initial inquiry call promptly, set up a date and he arrived punctually. Polite and professional and left no trace of soot, etc. inside house. Would definitely use again. Cleaned fireplace and noted a concern but did not push to have additional services done such as a new cap on chimneys, but we decided to have one installed as knew we needed them. Explained what he did every step of the process. Highly recommend. Friendly, cheerful personality and his courtesy was a bonus.

Jonathan was extremely neat, putting down a drop cloth to protect surrounding area, used a well ventilated shop-vac - spent considerable time ensuring all soot was removed; brushing the flue from the bottom, using a broom brush in the smoke chamber and wire brush inside the fire box; vacuumed off the smoke shelf and in the firebox and cleaned the glass doors. Inspected the chimney cap and crown. I would use again and recommend Jonathan / Safe-T-Sweep, Inc.

Great service and fair prices, you sound like an advertising executive. We could use someone like you. Thank you for your kind words. Some people don't know what it means when someone says they are a born again believer of Jesus Christ. I may ask someone if they go to church or they may say "yes I am a Christian." But if I ask if they are born again believer they will exclaim rather sharply "no", like it a bad thing. Well we just have to look in the book of John chapter 3 and read the encounter with Nicodemus. Jesus said " Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." So please take some time to understand the scriptures and what they are saying.

John was very respectful and to the point. He was on time and got the necessary job done. Did not charge me extra and was very helpful. I wanted to replace the cap but he recommended not to replace it at this point since I have a plan to turn the fireplace to a vent free gas one. He also inspected the fire place and chimney.

I must learn how to charge more....I think that would be a good business building trait. Here is what I call a Jewish riddle. Tell me who this passage is talking about? "Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son's name, If you know? Psalm 30:4

While it took a bit longer to get an appointment than I would have liked (I made the mistake of waiting until peak chimney season before scheduling) I will absolutely use Safe-T-Sweep in the future. John was on time, thorough, explained to me everything he was doing and seeing, happy to answer all my questions. He even found me a fireplace grate!
