Ashbusters Chimney Service Inc

Chimney Sweep, Chimney Repair, Fireplaces,

About us

Nashville's Chimney Experts. Ashbusters Chimney Service was founded over 25 years ago on the principle of prevention. We have seen the devastation of fire up close and personal and never want this to happen again to our friends, our families and our communities if we can help it. The fact is, not all fires are preventable. However, most fires are and by doing some very simple things on a yearly basis, like getting your chimneys and your dryer vents cleaned, you are taking action. Obstructions of any kind in a chimney can eventually cause a fire. Obstruction in your dryer vent or exhaust is even a larger danger to starting a fire and almost all of us have dryers in our homes.

It was great! Scheduling the service was easy, the technician arrived on time, and he did a very good job with the cleaning and inspection. Furthermore, he provided helpful information on how to safely light the gas logs since I hadn't used the fireplace for a few years.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for them to perform a safety inspection of my chimney and to clean the chimney.

They did an excellent job. They are very fast and efficient with their work. Also very friendly and very attentive to customer satisfaction. Only very minor issue is that they arrived 45 minutes early for the last visit and did not call to let me know they were coming early. They did call on the previous visit.
Description of Work: Ashbusters replaced chimney cap and fireplace walls (in 2 separate visits), a few weeks after an initial inspection and cleaning.

It was good and I ended up with a brand new insert. They did a great job. They came and discovered that I had a chimney fire and my insurance paid for the new insert. I will use them again. They did the inspection in about an hour and they came back out another day to install the insert and fix the cracks in my chimney. They were really good helping me coordinate with my insurance company. The workers were all very courteous and cleaned up after themselves.

Ashbusters was fantastic! My home was built in 1970, and at some point, someone stopped maintaining the masonry fireplace and installed gas logs. I much prefer a wood-burning fireplace, so when my chimney sweep indicated that we could do that, I was thrilled. Unfortunately, the lack of maintenance meant significant repairs: new heat shield, new damper (the old one fell apart as soon as he touched it; it was that rusty!), and some maintenance on the bricks. But it was worth every penny: I used it all winter, and there is just nothing - *nothing* - like having a roaring fire on a freezing night.
Description of Work: I originally purchased the chimney sweep deal; as expected, major repairs were identified that needed to be done.

They were good. I have used them before and they have always been really well. I would have to say that this last time, they didn't go up on the roof and check the chimney like they normally do and I didn't think to ask them about that. They may not do that anymore. He was extremely pleasant and answered all my questions. He was very nice and very professional.

I purchased a big deal from Angie's List and their services turned out pretty good. They were on time and friendly. I was able to save money on my chimney sweep. They did a pretty good job. I did not pay them anything extra other than the big deal purchase.
Description of Work: Ashbusters Chimney Service did some inspection of my chimney and found somethings that needed repair, so I called them back and they did the repair for me, as well as the chimney seep.

I was really satisfied with the service that I purchased, $100 for a sweep and inspection. That was worth every cent and I would do it again in the future. The UP-SELLS though for all the repairs that "need" to be made were CRAZY EXPENSIVE! I don't have the estimate in front of me at the moment, but it was thousands and thousands of dollars worth of potential "safety hazards". I certainly won't be doing a large portion of the work that they recommended and I definitely will shop around any work that we eventually decide to have done. I marked "B" on the price because I feel that we got a good price on the sweep & inspection, but if I had to comment on the prices of their estimate for additional work, I would lean more toward a "C" or a "D". I was REALLY SURPRISED at how EXPENSIVE chimney maintenance can be! (In all fairness though, this was my first experience with chimney work, so I really have no basis for comparison. I just know that it was a LOT of darn money!)

Response from Ashbusters Chimney Service Inc
Dear Member, Thank you for your recent patronage and review of our services. I completely understand the surprise of some chimney repair estimates that we provided, especially when it comes to many safety related repairs. All of our suggestions are backed by picture documentation and we follow national fire codes and building code guide lines. We also have worked on over 50,000 chimneys in the Nashville area and know what it takes to do the job and to offer the best warranties possible. If it comes down to price, we do have "multi service discounts" so we can give a discount if you have more than one of the repairs are done at the same time. If you have any questions or would like me to find the best possible price for you please call 615-459-2546 and ask for me. Mark Stoner - President Ashbusters Chimney Service

Josh the technician was very nice, professional, and knowledgeable. He had recommendations for a needed chase cover. Even though my chimney and fireplace was in great shape, I had not used it for 30 years and I wanted assistance in cleaning it out and checking it out before using my new gas logs. They did a great job and I would highly recommend them!
Description of Work: I purchased the $99 special on Angie's List and had them clean out my fireplace and chimney. They took pictures of inside and outside the chimney and later emailed them to me.

Ashbusters couldn't have been better! Very prompt, efficient, neat and courtious. The work was done almost a year ago, and even after this unbelievable winter and many fires in the fireplace, everything seems as good as new.

I scheduled the deal within a few weeks of purchasing it. They came out for the inspection and ended up coming out a second time to clean out the inside of the fireplace. I also had them install some gas logs and paint inside the fireplace. The service was fine and they did a good job.

They fixed the leak on my chimney and it stopped at most of the time but it still has a slight leak so I have to contact them again. I think it has a guarantee for several years otherwise they are very good too. They seem to be professional, they got most of it but it still has a slight leak when it rains so hard.

I simply showed him my chimney and fireplace. He was able to zero in on what needed to be done. I learned a lot from his co-worker Mark Stoner, too. Make sure you learn everything you can about chimneys, flues, smoke chambers, different types of flue liners, etc. This will give you confidence in your professional and a vocabulary you can communicate with.

It turned out okay. When I signed up the deal they said that they will contact me on the same time but they didn't reach out. I called them a couple of times so they showed up and did the work. They were decent guys and I felt like it was a good deal. We went above and beyond because it was a complicated set up so there was a $40 extra on top of that.

It went well. He did a very thorough inspection using cameras that went the entire length of chimney. He showed me everything on a monitor. I have gas logs so I thought I would not have any issues but there are some spaces in brick and some crumbling in mortor. .i don't think I'll be using fireplace for a while as these repairs would be rather costly

Have used Ashbusters before and was very satisfied. Had come time to have our woodstove/chimney inspected and my daughter had moved into a home with a fireplace which had never been inspected. We called Ashbusters to set up appointment for ourselves and saw the special they had going on for $111 for fireplace inspection, so we included that also. Matt and his helper were very prompt, professional and thorough in their service. We have a masonry issue and Matt made suggestions to have some things corrected and we also have a couple of items that need to be repaired. As far as my daughter's fireplace inspection, it went just as well as ours. There are a couple of issues which need to be addressed there and we will be contacting Ashbusters in the very near future to take care of all open issues. Would highly recommend them for any fireplace/woodstove needs.
