Excellent. Both fireplaces cleaned, inspected, and repaired.

He was extremely professional and all business. He checked all components of my fireplace, readjusted my ceramic logs for better flow, and added necessary sand. He noticed my grate was peeling, so he painted it at no charge. Geoff took the time to make sure everything was right with not only the chimney, but all aspects of the fireplace. I was very impressed. He cleaned my dryer vent, even though the appointment was only for the chimney. I definitely feel that I received more than I paid for on this visit.
Description of Work: I had the chimney swept and dryer exhaust cleaned.
They did an excellent job, both in cleaning and assessment of the chimney's condition. They offered some improvements - a chimney cap and a heat reflector shield - which we decided to accept. The work was completed at the same time. They will return at a later date to repair a loose brick on the top of the chimney.
Description of Work: We needed our chimney cleaned.

Geoff cleaned one chimney and fireplace, including painting the fire bricks and cleaning the logs. It looks and works great now. He also fixed a leak in another chimney and left everything cleaned up and looking good. He also took care of any problems that showed up as he was working, including replacing a pilot thermocouple that quit while he was here. He re-stacked the logs to make them work better and cleared up the problem of the pilot fumes not going up the flue. We will definitely use him again for any fireplace and chimney work.

Geoff was contacted on short notice, but was able to squeeze me into his schedule. He was running late and called to confirm that a late arrival was workable. There was some discrepancies in the MLS, Sellers Disclosure and fact on exactly what this fireplace and chimney were designed for. Geoff set to work quickly and professionally. A lot was found that helped me immensely in negotiations. There's something to be said for having an Irishman as your Sweep. Any future work will have Geoff at my side and in my chimney.
Description of Work: Chimney inspection and guestimate for repairs on a home I am purchasing
Geoff was great, timely and thorough. He and his partner explained every step, made sure my wife and I had a complete understanding of the fireplace and left us feeling confident. We will hire him for any and all future fireplace services.
Description of Work: Inspected my chimney, replaced a faulty chimney cap and sold me a wood grate acceptable for my fireplace.

They were amazing and friendly. I put my big dog up and left my puppy out and they were great with her. Super friendly and engaging. I also let the person o set the appointment with only that I had a day sleeper in the house and not to ring doorbell. So they called me when they arrived. Amazing service and let me know if possible future problems. I seriously would recommend to all my friends and family that I like ;-). Will continue to use them for my fireplace needs.
Description of Work: I used the coupon for $65 inspection. Then they let me know they could clean it for $30 while they were here.

Geoff Lowans, the owner, came to my house and was able to get the gas furnace running after many years of not running by the previous owner. He not only is a professional he is also a teacher. He stepped me though the entire process and asked me to start the pilot and the furnace so I would know how to do it in the future. He had all of the equipment to clean the gas furnace, check the outside vent and even checked my dryer vent. I couldn't have asked for a better job in fact I gave him a tip. Excellent work.

They did a great job! It was very well priced. Everything is good. I got more service than I would have ever expected from them. It was really good, it was awesome! I got them from Angie's List. They were friendly and on time. There were two of them, one was downstairs and one was outside working on the top of the chimney. They even went down to polishing the glass, casing around the fireplace and the grates and vacuuming everything out. I just did not expect them to do all that. It's not like they really made a mess but we had never used the fireplace since we lived here. They even left a note that the chimney has been inspected. I would take them anywhere I go.

They were very thorough and explained everything in detail and answered all my questions and concerns. We have been concerned about having a fire in the fireplace and they put our mind at ease and assured us it was safe. Then they replaced the embers and painted the back of the fireplace to where it looks really nice. I will be hiring them again next month to add a cap on the top of the chimney! Would definitely recommend them! Very honest and punctual! Showed up the same day and did the work!

I feel much safer having the chimney inspected. It had been several years since we had used it. There was an 80 ft. pine tree a few feet from it and after removing the tree we looked forward to using the fireplace again. These guys did a good job and got it going again. They had to fashion a piece of sheet metal to fit in the flue next to the shutoff where water had seeped in and rusted out a small piece. They told us about the fire-back panels that you can use to direct more heat in to the house. We didn't purchase one at the time, but the price quoted was comparable to ones online. I highly recommend these guys. I will be calling them back next year to check things out again. Thanks Guys.

The gas fireplace in a "new-to-us" home would not ignite. Geoff resolved the problem in just a couple of minutes! He also cleaned the entire fireplace (including the glass doors) and rearranged the gas logs so they ignited properly - we were not expecting this to be part of his service. He explained how to efficiently use the fireplace. Geoff had an unexpected problem earlier in the day, which caused our appointment to be moved back a bit - he called us with updates on his arrival time. Even though he had a very long day, he was pleasant, efficient and thorough. The fireplace area was spotless when he left. We found him to be honest and fair with his charges - since we had no idea of what was wrong with the ignition switch, he could have told us it was much more serious than a loose wire inside the firebox. Thank you Geoff!! We will definitely call him for any future fireplace issues and will be calling him to clean our dryer vent.

The owner and a technician did a fabulous. What a difference the set-up of the logs and some extra ambers on the right spot can make! Our old fireplaces look spectacular now! The two gentleman are most polite, careful not to drag dirt in or out the house, cover their workspace, clean up after themselves ... EXCELLENT company.

Geoff was great! He had done some work for my neighbor and was prompt, accurate with his month that he had done a few months before and was very thorough with his explanation of all that was done. He also left me with some literature with some tips for wood burning fireplaces like mine.

Everything worked like clockwork. He was very professional and focused on his work. He brought a helper with them, and they both stayed busy the whole time they were here. We were very pleased with their work and with the price.
Description of Work: Geoff arrived right on time. He went straight to work, laid out a drape to keep the hearth and the floor clean. He took out the ceramic logs and disposed of them. He capped off the gas so that the fireplace is now a true wood-burning fireplace. The fireplace had not been used in at least 14 years, so there were lots of bird nests and so forth in the chimney. He cleaned out the entire space in a very detailed manner. He then put a stainless steel cap on top of the chimney so that no more birds could get down into the flue.
