The service was excellent. The technicians were knowledgeable, courteous and just pleasant. Once they started, they found issues with the venting and explained to me what recommendations they had to get it done right. They kept me informed, took pictures of the areas that needed repair and made sure the repairs were done correctly. Very happy.

Serviceman came out and looked at existing vent in the crawl space and said he wasn't allowed to clean it since it was an expandable aluminum vent. He said he would have to replace the vent with a rolled sheet aluminum vent and that was the only type of vent they could clean. Said it would cost $800 for the 12 -15 ft length of vent required. I reluctantly agreed wrote a deposit check for half the amount (less the Angie's list charge) and he came back the following morning to do the work. When he arrived I told him I had changed my mind because the price was too high. He asked what i would be willing to pay and I said I would pay no more than I had already paid them. He called the office and they agreed to do the job for that amount (half of the prior day's quote). He completed the job and replaced the outside vent with a new one I supplied. I discovered a couple of months later that he had left a gap of about 3/4" between the bottom of the outside vent molding and the brick by not installing it flush with the brick and not caulking that part. Makes me wonder what shortcuts might have been taken in the crawlspace. The new vent was installed several months ago and it still seems to be working just fine. Hopefully that will continue to be the case. If you purchase a deal from this company for dryer vent cleaning, please be prepared.

Response from Chim Chimney
Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience. We truly apologize for the negative experience you had with us. We make every effort to ensure customer satisfaction. Part of this effort is having our clients fill out a survey at the completion of the job. This survey includes an inspection by the homeowner of our work, in which the homeowner signs off on. Our records indicate that you gave 100% satisfaction client signature. Additionally, as part of our quality assurance efforts, we have an in office quality assurance team that reviews all job pictures, to ensure that all work is performed to industry and company standards. This work was performed for you in May 2016. However, this is first time that we have heard from you regarding this matter. We will be more than happy to send a technician over to address the issue with your exhaust flapper. Would you like us to have the office call you to arrange that date and time?

Very good experience. Prompt response to call for appointment. Trey called to say he was on the way. He made sure the carpet was covered, cleaned and serviced the unit. He was courteous, professional and explained what he had done, answered questions and offered other services. We were pleased and will have this company back next year or sooner if an issue arises.
Description of Work: Non-vented gas logs needed inspection, cleaning and adjustment.
We almost lost $12K to these scam artists! At first the guy from Chim Chimney seemed very professional. He video inspected our large chimney and then provided a report and quote for critical repair. He showed us a grainy photo of a piece of wood that evidently was built into the flutes in our chimney. Due to that and the medium buildup of creosote he rendered our chimney a fire hazard that needed immediate repair. He proposed replacing the dual flutes with stainless steel at the net cost of $12,000. I told him I needed a bit of time to locate that kind of money, at which point he called his manager on speaker phone in front of me and very strangely explained our conversation including the "wood in the chimney" part. It was very odd as it was clear that they had already talked while he prepared the report in his car. I began to feel that something was wrong. We decided to hire a local reputable company to do a second inspection. They also did a very thorough video inspection and detailed report with photos. Final verdict ... our chimney is in excellent condition. No piece of wood anywhere and absolutely no creosote - it's barely been used for wood burning. We had them perform some minor repairs including replacing the cracked crown - all at a fraction of the amount Chim Chimney tried to con me out of. By the way, never heard from Chim Chimney again. You would think they would want to follow up on a $12k proposal? Stay far away from this company.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience. We truly apologize for the negative experience you had with us. We make every effort to ensure customer satisfaction. Part of this effort is photo documentation taken during our chimney inspections. It is unfortunate that we found issues within your chimney system. Receiving bad news is as difficult as delivering it. We have reviewed your case file and have confirmed that our technician's findings were sufficiently backed up with photo documentation. We are bound by law to notify you of any infractions that do not meet NFPA211 and IRC guidelines. This is exactly what happened in your case. We apologize for any misleading information or confusion regarding this matter, but we do stand behind the technician's findings.

The technician called to let me know he was on his way. When Trey Hill arrived, he examined the vent, went into the crawl space, examined the pipes and joints, and took many pictures to show me the problem. Trey was honest and very well qualified. He was not trying to sell me anything but was extremely attentive to all the details as to what was causing the problem. He let me know what needed to be addressed but allowed me and my husband make the decision of what we wanted to do. He told me all charges up front. Then he set to work. He did a dryer vent sweep; vacuumed, suctioned, and swept the entire length of the dryer duct; replaced the vent flapper; sealed all joints under the house; added a hanging strap to secure the pipe; removed a broken and inadequate pipe and replaced it; pulled out broken mortar which was being used inappropriately to conceal the shortened pipe; got rid of an unnecessary bend of lint flow which was causing it to go back toward the dryer rather than outside; corrected the dryer vent hose and added clamps. When I asked him if he would show me just how much lint he had obtained from the length of the duct system, he was kind enough to do so. It was amazing that we didn't have a fire. Trey Hill was extremely thorough and professional in his work. Showed me pictures under the house (before and after), of the new exhaust vent (before and after), and then cleaned up all areas before leaving. It was truly a blessing to have him service our home. Later that evening while showing my husband, I learned that there are more than 20,000 house fires a year. Thankful to Chim Chimney to not add to that statistic. Highly recommend this company and Trey Hill.
Description of Work: After calling and paying a trip charge for someone to repair our dryer, we learned that it wasn't the dryer with a problem, but the vent. Called Chim Chimney to do a dryer vent cleaning yet was given so much more. We received excellent service.

The technician from Chim Chimney did an excellent job. He was polite, knowledgeable and worked efficiently to take care of us. They offered a fair price for excellent work. I highly recommend Chim Chimney.
Description of Work: Dryer vent cleaning. We thought we only needed our dryer vent cleaned out, but the original dryer venting underneath the house was not done properly. The technician took pictures of our existing venting and explained how they would correct the problem using sturdy venting materials. He took pictures of how he corrected the problem, and he showed us all of the materials he took out underneath the house and what he replaced them with. He cleaned all the venting around the dryer and even cleaned the floor and baseboards behind the dryer where the dryer was not connected correctly to the wall vent causing lint to escape.

I was right! Chim Chimney arrived when expected. Checked everything out and told us what they were doing, which was to clean out the venting and shorten it so there was a more direct route from dryer to outside. Since I can't remember it ever having been cleaned, this was a big job. They straightened the outside housing and cleared it to assure vermin couldn't use the vent as an entry to the house, left no mess, and did not try to up-sell us for anything else. It was superior service and a pleasure doing business with them. Hmm...I wonder how that fireplace is doing??
Description of Work: After 40 years I thought checking the dryer vent might be a good idea.
