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.
Very professional. Used a camera on a cable to inspect and show me the issues with my chimney. Discussed possible solutions. I would highly recommend them!

They were very professional and did a complete and through job. Would recommend them highly!
Description of Work: Repaired chimney crown and mortar joints
The service was excellent. They were efficient and there was no mess from the chimney cleaning. I was told that the chimney was missing a cap and that water has come down the chimney, rusted the flue and there was evidence of moisture in the fireplace. The technician was going to send me an estimate to correct the problems. However, it's been 10 days, one phone call to the office when I was assured it would be send immediately, but so far I haven't heard from them. So I got the name of another company from friends and have called to see if they can check my chimney and give me an estimate. Ashbusters may just miss out on the repairs.

Response from Ashbusters Chimney Service Inc
Dear Member, Thank you for your review to bring this to my attention. I looked into the delay and I apologize for it. Our technician took too long to get the estimate for repairs back to you. I did confirm that the estimate was emailed yesterday and would like the opportunity to make it right if possible. The technician has been made aware of your dissatisfaction, as far as the timeliness is concerned, and he would like to call you tomorrow. If we missed the opportunity window to work with you, I certainly understand...it was our fault. If you have any further concerns or questions please feel free to call me at 625-569-6371 Mark Stoner - President Ashbusters Chimney Service

I purchased a coupon 11/8/13 through Angies List. We initially had a terrible experience. Coupon asked for convenient dates, which I asked for three possible dates in the following week. When the company called to schedule service, the earliest date was 11/26. Scheduled for 11/26 between 11:30 and 12:30. At 12:30 received a call from the tech, his truck broke down, they would need to cancel and reschedule. Rescheduled for 11/30, 12:30 to 1:30, they were a no call/no show. I left two messages with the company on their voice mail. It was Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. Called Angie's List CS the following Monday, they in turn contacted the company. The owner of the company called me, apologized for all the inconvenience, offered to refund my money and perform the service at no charge. I accepted his offer, thanked him for doing the right thing. We rescheduled for Sat, Dec 7, 8:30 to 9:30, the tech was on time, very professional, did a wonderful job and I would recommend Ashbusters to anyone looking for a chimney sweep company in Nashville. The initial impression I had was not good but the company stepped in, took the initiative to make things right and I ended up a satisfied customer who will definitely use them again.

Got the inspection on a deal from AL. The inspector called and asked to arrive early, which fit in to our schedule perfectly. He was quick and professional with the inspection, taking great care not to track dirt into our home or leave a mess around the fireplace. I was very impressed with the service and plan to use Ashbusters again. Would definitely recommend to others without reservation.

When they returned, we did not get good news in that they explained our stove was very old and was a fire hazard. They strongly recommended that we not use it and provided options with what they could to do put the fireplace in safe working order. The options made sense, and we will likely contact Ashbusters when we are ready to move forward. I especially appreciated the fact that while they could not perform the purchased service, they were willing to work with us to apply what we bought towards services that met our needs.
Description of Work: We purchased an Angie's Deal for an inspection and cleaning of our fireplace. However, when our tech arrived, he informed us that because we have an old Buck stove, he would not be able to perform the purchased service - mostly because the stove was too large to move on his own in order to perform a proper inspection. We rescheduled with him to return with help and for the deal price, they would remove the stove, inspect it and our chimney, and provide us with options of how to proceed.

They were very nice but it looked to me as though they kept telling me that the main part of this was an inspection and when I really paid for an inspection and a cleaning, they said I didn't need to have a cleaning, they didn't clean and then so when I used my fireplace it smelled for the next 2 weeks after using it. I think I'm going to use someone else who would actually clean it. It seemed to me to be a sales ditch, they were very nice, they showed me everything but I was very dissatisfied. It looked like it needs one and I thought since I've paid for it, I should get it.

Dear Member, Thank you for your review. The most important part of the service is the inspection but I understand your feeling about the full service. The technician didn't see enough build up to warrant a cleaning in his opinion but if you would like a cleaning we will be happy to come back out and clean it at no additional charge. I'm not sure about the smell that occurred after we left but I would like the opportunity to make this right and also check the chimney for reasons for the issue. I want to make sure that we give you good service and value for the money that you paid. Thank you, Mark Stoner - President

It took a long time to get them in. One issue I had with them is they didn't call me back after I signed up on Angie's List and after a week, I called them and they said they don't call people back and they don't know why Angie's List tells people that. They did the job well once it was complete. It just took a long time to get it scheduled and get them in to do it. Other than getting him scheduled and getting him in, the guy was certainly professional, efficient and effective, did the job quickly, and I was very satisfied with it. It was a good price.

It turned out alright. They seem to clean it well. They found out we have some couple of issues with it which we haven't gone through a repair. They were nice, informative, and respectful.
Description of Work: I had a big deal for Ashbusters Chimney Service. They did chimney sweeping and inspection.
Mark was the tech. He worked expediently, was very knowledgeable, honest & extremely efficient & clean. He had a correct answer to any question I had and educated me on his trade. He also connected me with an expert in another area of need. Mark is an exemplary employee and Ashbusters is fortunate to have him. Because of this service, I will use this company for any service they provide & I need.
Description of Work: Examined fireplace; inside & out. Was honest about no need for service scheduled. When asked if he could inspect dryer vent while on roof, he did. Tech, husband & myself all agreed dryer vent needed cleaning.

I have two chimneys and thought the deal would cover both but it didn’t. The service turned out fine. They told me the chimney was not connected inside the wall which I did not understand how the smoke would come into the house without the previous owner seeing it. He told me my piping was dislodged so I cannot use my fireplace and that I need to replace but that the previous owners had used both fireplaces. He said they would have to install a new insert and correct the piping. Scheduling was ok; they were able to get me an appointment within a week of my call. They did a fair job with cleaning up; they left some soot on my floor but I was able to get out easily. I tried calling the manager regarding my chimney being dislodged and the manager never called me back after three tries.

The office followed up to confirm the appointment a couple of days in advance and the technician called to let us know an estimated time of arrival about an hour beforehand. Everyone we talked to was courteous. The technician was on time and very professional. He put down a protective dropcloth and I could see him slowing down as he swept the chimney before the dust had a chance to move out into the living room. He showed us pictures of the deteriorating condition of our chimney cap explained the benefits of the cap Ashbusters manufactured. Everything was clear and understandable. We chose to replace the cap. We are glad we chose Ashbuster?s and appreciate Angie?s List for guiding us to quality suppliers and service companies. I will continue to do business with Ashbuster?s.

They were great. On time and very knowledgeable. We had just bought our house and didn't know hardly anything about our fireplace and how it works. They told us of some things we need to prepare in the future but overall our fireplace is ready to use. A great experience. We will use Ashbusters again.

We were very pleased with Ashbusters, particularly with Mark Harris and Dalton. Very professional, careful around furniture, covered carpet carefully, careful with equipment. Were very pleasant and courteous, explained the results of the inspection as well as alternatives in curing problem areas. Hopefully, they will be coming back in January to remedy some areas of concern.

On or about November 26 I received the email from Angie's list offering a $111 chimney cleaning from Ashbusters. I purchased it on November 28, but did not set a service date. I contacted the company on December 3. The first opening in their schedule was December 23. This is their busy time of year, I understand, but waiting for 3 weeks to save $68 was not acceptable to me and canceled the order. So what I would caution Angie's list subscribers about is that the savings comes with a price of time. I may use this provider in the future, but for now I will look for others performing the same service and if the wait is similar, will postpone the cleaning and not use my fireplace until next year.

Dear Member, Thank you for trying to book with us and I apologize for the time frame in which we could provide service. I added additional trucks and staff this year to try to handle customers in a more timely manner during our busy season. This year, however, has been a record year in the chimney industry and my additional trucks and staff members were still overwhelmed with the calls for chimney service. I hope that you did find another company to get you taken care of before we could but if there is anything I can help you with feel free to call me 615-569-6371 Mark Stoner - President
