D&G Chimney Sweeps were fantastic! I recently had a new hot water heater installed by Mr Water Heater. I was told there was a slight backdraft and to have my chimney cleaned. I called D & G Chimney Sweeps and left a message. I received a call back within the hour. Mr. Matthews explained everything to me and answered all my questions over the phone. He offered to come out that same day, but I wasn’t able to accommodate. He and his employee came out the next day, right on time, and resolved the issue, and cleaned up, within 1.5 hours. He removed the blockage and all the debris from my chimney. He replaced the vent and reconnected it back into my chimney. All were nice and respectful. When he was done, he explained everything they did. I was happy to learn he also does electrical work. I will certainly use those services from him when needed. Highly recommend!

Don and his team were great. On time, got the job done for the price quotes, and were very neat. They examined the fireplace and made a small repair for an affordable price. I would hire them again.

Don was very helpful - we need to get a gas fireplace that wasn't working for several years to be functional again. Not only did he come out on the weekend, he also spent the time to educate me about the fireplace, lighting it, and necessary maintenance over time. Would hire again and recommend to others.

The work done was great. But, the price was way too high. The contractor was nice enough to offer a $50-off coupon, but even after this the price seemed to be around 50% higher than what others were charging.

Very responsive. We called on Sunday and they were able to come out on Tuesday to sweep chimney and evaluate a water leak in our chimney. Performed the cleaning and were able to determine the cause of the leak. We will likely use them to perform the leak repair work.

I didn't hire them, they wanted way too much money. They wanted to charge me 400 and something dollars when it should only be $200. It took them 2 days to call, and the price was double what everyone else was charging. The interactions with them was just a telephone call. The estimate that I received was not very detailed at all.
Description of Work: I got an estimate from them for a chimney sweep, just to clean it.

Came out February 16 as scheduled with 3 other men. Took apart my gas fireplace leaned and did chimney. Don said he needed to replace a part of the pipe that goes into chimney. We decided on a day the following Friday at 2pm. I had to take that day off from work to be there. Don called at 2:15 and said he couldn't make it.So I gave him another time on Saturday at 2pm which he agreed upon. Well needless to say Saturday came and went no Don and no call. I tried to call him several time but said mail box was full no more messages. The following week I get a note in the mail that he wasn't going to repair it. So now I have a gas fireplace that I can't use and is sitting in pieces. Thanks for nothing Don.
Description of Work: I needed my chimney swept (cleaned) and my gas fireplace checked.

The promptness and quality of work was excellent. However the price was very unfair. The chimney cap he sold me retails for less than $100. Also, what contractor does the work before providing a quote, especially when you ask them for just a quote?
Description of Work: We had a chimney cap that was old and the top of which was rusted. It finally feel off and needed to be replaced. I called several chimney specialists to come out and give me a quote to replace it, D&G being one of them. We also wanted the rest of our chimney looked at to get it operational again as we were told when we moved in over a year ago that it would need some work if we ever wanted to build a fire. Don answered the phone and I explained to him that I wanted to get a QUOTE for the chimney repairs. I had multiple companies coming out and I wanted to get a sense of prices before selecting one for the repairs. Don was the first one to show up at our house and he was very punctual which I appreciated. I wasn't home but my wife was. Rather than give her a quote he replaced the cap and handed her a bill for $500 which she paid on the spot. Neither she nor I told Don to make the repairs. He just did it. If I were home I would have told him to take down the cap and I'd call him if we wanted his services. Unfortunately I wasn't and my wife paid Don immediately. I called Don to figure out what happened and ask why he did the work without first giving us a quote. He told me that he would give me $25 back and a discount on a chimney cleaning. $500 isn't that big of a deal but I did have another company come out because I still wanted the rest of the chimney looked at and compare their cleaning price with Don's. Without telling them what I paid, they told me the cap would be $250, half of what Don charged. The chimney cleaning was also half of what Don was charging even with the discount he was giving me. In addition, they told me they would need to put a damper where the new cap was in order to get my chimney fixed making the new cap Don just installed (without me telling him to do so) no longer needed. I called Don to explain the situation and ask for my money back as I wanted to go with the other company for obvious reasons. He didn't return my calls. I'm out $500 bucks on something I no longer need.

Quick estimate that was reflective of the work proposed. Punctual. Cost included vigorous sweeping, including spraying and scrubbing of creosote. Now I do not have a sooty smell. Preventive measures have also been recommended. They actually honored the Angie's list coupon. Yes I will hire them again.

Excellent work. Incredible amount of junk removed. I really liked that he checked the chimney stacks, for pointing etc. Best of all he took photos of the our 3 of 6 chimney stacks on the roof and sent them to us. Now we understand this one shared chimney with 6 stacks in it, 3 for us and 3 for our row house neighbors. Definitely would hire again and recommend. I could not find cost of cleaning, but was reasonable.
Description of Work: Clean chimney of ancient soot. Evaluate chimney for possible cause of recent sudden smokey smell in our house in August. Evaluate fireplace for a gas log set.

Don called back and scheduled for 9:30am. He did not show up until 10:50 and that was after I called him and asked if he was still coming. He came with two others, climbed on the roof (which I appreciated so he could really see what was happening), and explained that because they would need to erect scaffolding, etc. it would cost $4500. This is around 4 times more expensive than other bids so I declined and thanked him for his time.

Don was very nice. Cleaned chimney. Advised me on repairs needed. Gave very rough estimate but stated he would need to come back to give another true estimate which I didn't like. I was disappointed in the cost. He charged 365 for cleaning and inspection. This was 100 more than I thought to be reasonable.
