JAMES PERREAULT CHIMNEY SPECIALIST

Mr. Perrault came exactly when he said he would, quoted me an excellent price and inspected my whole system. He charged $99 for the sweep of the wood burning fireplace flue and $20 to fill in cracks in my concrete cap (I knew I had them) with an elastomeric compound. He also noted after our recent heavy rains that the whole of the fireplace (brick and mortar) needed to be sealed from the outside with some sealant (he recommended Behr sealant which lasts 5-7 yrs, as opposed to the cheaper stuff which you need to apply every year). I was aware of this as well and he confirmed my suspicions. The whole process took about 45 minutes and he left my living room quite clean, as he had found it. I will definitely use him next year! Highly recommended!!!

I never received a call back after leaving 2 messages to schedule the work.

The job was excellent. They were neat and clean.

THEY CAME AND CLEANED MY FIREPLACE AND CHIMNEY.THEY DID IT IN A WAY I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE THEY SWEPT UP THE CHIMNEY FROM THE FIREPLACE INSTEAD OF FROM THE TOP DOWN. THEY SAID IT'S MUCH CLEANER AND LESS DUST THIS WAY.THEY CAME TO CLEAN BOTH FLUES IN MY CHIMNEY BUT THEY SAID THE FLU FOR MY FURNACE DIDN'T NEED TO BE CLEANED SO THEY CHARGED ONLY HALF OF THE QUOTED PRICE.

He arrived promptly and was professional in his work. The entire process took about an hour and was thoroughly clean when he left. I would highly recommend him

It was the first time that I used him and he was friendly. He explained what he was going to do and seemed very knowledgeable.

James was contacted about a damaged stove vent pipe. He inspected the pipe and provided a quote for the repairs. Cost was very reasonable. He did complete the repairs on a different date and the result looks fantastic - and the stove is operating very well. He took the time to answer questions and ensured the stove was working properly at the end of the repair job.

I couldn't have been happier with the price but more important the workmanship. This is a really dirty job and my living room was as clean as it was before they arrived.

James is excellent! Worked with me and did a fantastic job. My neighbor complemented on the and quot;nice looking chimneyand quot;, as well as a friend that came by. His words, and quot;wow, he did a good job - what good work!and quot; Very satisfied and will be referring James to my friends that are in need of any type of chimney service. mail me some business cards!

emailed James via Angie's List, and had a response that night. Was able to fit me in the same week (was up in my area). On time and did the job promised. Left NO mess! Positive experience -- would, and probably will be, hiring him to do the chimney mason work. Thank you, James!

Jim was always on time and communicated precisely regarding the work that was needed, how much it would cost and how long it would take. He's very knowledgeable and professional when dealing with his customers. I'm planning to have him return to do further work in the next month or two.

Excellent. Old-fashined service - does what he says he is going to do, on time, without any nonsense. Very reasonable price and very thorough work

It went great. He was prompt, professional, thorough and very friendly. He did everything within the timeframe he gave us and did an excellent clean-up.

I called the vendor left a message and he called the next day. I told him I neeeded a Chimney Cap he took my address and said he would go buy the next day and call me with a estimate. I didn't expect a call from him the very next day because it rained all day- guess what he went out in the rain and called. I gave him the okay and the next week it done. Great service !!!!!!

We bought a new house and wanted the 2 chimneys inspected and cleaned. He inspected our boiler chimney and told us it was in good shape, and he swept the fireplace chimney. Also fixed the opening to the flue (it would not open all the way) free of charge. Nice work, was easy to schedule, and very professional.

I didn't have any complaints and I was happy.

I emailed this person to find out how much they charged and when they would be able to come out. He emailed me with the price, and said he would be able to fit us in friday morning around 9 am (this morning). I emailed him back to confirm. Never showed, never called, never returned messages. I left a message saying we were all set with his services. I totally understand that things happen and he may not have made it on time, but a phone call or email would make up for that..not calling to inform us of running late, not being able to show etc is unprofessional and I would not reccommend using him.

Jim is EXCELLENT !! I initally called Jim as I was in the market to replace my entire chimney as I was told by prior contracts that it is required to be entirely replaced. Jim showed up on time. Upon full inspection he noted that the entire chimney was not required to be replaced and that the only section that required replacement was my support "T" at the end of the metal stack. This saved me over $1400 as other companies that came out were only interested in replacing the entire chimney. I authorized Jim to do the work he came out and on time. He early both appointments. He completed a VERY througugh job and educated me a tremendous amount on my wood stove. Jim is a GEM and there are not even "Jim's out there his prices are beyond reasonable and he is out to keep all happy while making a living. I STRONGLy suggest using Jim over any other chimney services in Rhode Island.

Overall, with all the cleaning that was done I was surprised that there was no black soot anywhere in the room. Of course, with that much cleaning there was a slight smell of burnt wood for a day or two. Overall, he and his assistant did a wonderful job!

Jim was great. Showed up on time, worked very quickly, gave me a verbal report of what he found in the flue (5 gallons of debris) and chimney. Since the house is new to us he gave us advice on ways to care for the chimney. I wouldn't think to even mention it unless I read other reports, but he came and left without leaving any mess.

It was done quickly and professionally. No muss, no fuss. The best part was that his price was between $20-$60 less than four other sweeps I called. I also got an estimate for chimney repair and a liner and once again his estimate has been lower even though it provides a higher quality guarantee ("forever" vs. "lifetime).

All went well. No surprises. All work done professionally and excellent clean-up.

It went great. James arrived when he said he would and inspected my chimney and removed blockage that was preventing the flue from opening all the way. When he did that, he covered my floors and vacuumed all the debris (40+years' worth). There was not a spec of dirt around. Since I"m new to fireplaces, he showed me how to work the flue. I decided to buy a cap, and he came back and installed in a few days later. I was delighted with the whole experience.

Excellent. Arrived on time. Quickly assessed what he needed to do and then completed the work for the price he quoted.

Excellent, Jim was very professional and there was not a speck of dirt left when he was finished. He inspected my chimney at no charge while doing the cleaning work. Jim also gave some excellent tips to this first time home owner. He was right on time and the price was exactly as quoted.
