I found Bay Area Chimney Sweep listed in Angie's List and since they were located not to far away I gave them a call. I discussed that I could hear water drops fall inside the Chimney everytime it rained. I asked what a new Chimney crown and cap replacement would cost and was given a price of $575.00 I requested an inspection and possible followup repair. Bay Area Chimney Sweep responded promptly and the next day the came to inspect my Chimney crown and Cap. I was advised to replace the existing galvanized components with all stainless steel components. The mechanics left and some hours later I received a phone call reconfirming the price and I was promised repair on Monday; thus from the day of inspection I received almost immediate repair (the weekend was the only reason the period extended to 4 days). The office kept me involved when exactly the mechanics would return and again they showed up as promised. The repair was performed in speedy fashion and I was shown the old parts with their defects and water leak traces. Clean up was done professionally and I am very happy with the service that I received.
Description of Work: I live in the Galveston area and everything that is metal is subject to salt air corrosion. Bay Area Chimney Sweep replaced the existing Chimney crown (65X 42) and Chimney cap with all stainless steel components. All welds and leak-prone connections were soldered instead of rolled or calked. The Chimney cap size was increased to improve Chimney performance.

I emailed to see if they had an opening on the day I needed. Received a call back that they were and we set up appointment. They came in did their work quickly, were professional and suggested I clean it more often due to the build up that was in our chimney. Would definately use them again and actually gave their name out to people at the post office and our pest control person when they said they needed the same service.
Description of Work: Had them come to clean our chimney as it should be done yearly, but had fallen behind on getting it done. They cleaned and did a checklist inspection.

Great job! They showed up a bit early (and incidentally were eve finished before appt time (no biggie for me). Cleaned, inspected, went through some basic operation and safety instructions with my wife and me. Even converted our gas log back to wood-burning, for which I bought lunch as a tip. Would gladly call again and recommend.

He arrived about 45 minutes early which was a little inconvenient since I have a dog and a baby and wasn't prepared or dressed yet. He did the work quickly and even gave me a $10 discount from his original estimate. I would definitely call him again.

Bought the house almost 10 hyears ago and never used the fireplace. Had birds last year build a nest so knew the fireplace needed work. Called on a Tuesday and he was able to work me in two days later. Owner came out gave me an estimate on repairs and cleaning which were only 60-70% of the other estimate, but his was much more detailed and answered all of our many questions. Inspection was very thorough. Got on the roof, in the attic, and used something to look up the chimney. Owner and his helper performed the service that day. Was very professional and clean. Explained every option. Couldnt tell he had even been working by the way they cleaned up. Have already given his information to other friends who need chimney work
Description of Work: Inspection and Cleaning Bird Nest and debris removal Bricks replaced/remortered ensured that an old gas line was no longer connected and safe. Gave tips on how to care for chimney and fireplace.

It is very easy to do business with Bay Area Chimney Sweep. They had no reluctance about coming to Huffman from La Porte. They showed up on time, got right to work, protected the area around the fire place, cleaned the chimney and fireplace without making any mess, and recommended replacing the gas starter pipe. There charges were very reasonable and, given our frequency of using the fireplace, we're good for several more years of service. I appreciated doing business with Bay Area Chimney Sweep.

Prompt arrival, friendly staff, cost competitive(lowest price I found). I've never had a chimney cleaned before so don't know the process, but it only took 10 minutes of actual sweeping/cleaning once the equipment was in place. I didn't see much in the way of dirt or debris so maybe this chimney was pretty clean to begin with. They also removed a dead bird and squirrel which had fallen into the chimney where the logs go. The company didn't try to talk me into any additional services which is always nice.
Description of Work: Cleaned chimney with an elongated brush/bristles. There was no visual/camera inspection which was not included in services up front.

I got them through Angie's List. I had them come to do the chimney sweep but they disconnected my dryer exhaust to clean it out and reconnect it in my attic. It turned out that my chimney really did not need cleaning up when he checked it and I did not have to do that service. He did go in, blow out my dryer line and reconnect. There were two people that came and they worked together. So, it was not just one person that was going back and forth. They were relatively fast. They seemed to know as to what they were doing. They did not mind me observing. They did not do what they did not feel needed to be done. He checked and inspected the chimney but did not feel that it needed to be cleaned yet which was fine with me. I called some others and they were comparable in terms of the pricing. I had one person do this before that I did not get off of Angie's List and it was outrageous. It was ridiculous for what they did or did not do. It was affordable pricewise but it was quality service. They were efficient. They were on time and within five minutes of the appointment.
Description of Work: I used the services of Bay Area Chimney Sweep on the 1st of December 2011 for chimney sweeping. They disconnected my dryer exhaust to clean it out and reconnected it in my attic
Called Bay Area Chimney to come out and clean and inspect my chimney. They showed up exactly as planned and called a little before to let me know they were on the way. I had just bought the house and never had a fireplace before so that's why I called them. They caught stuff even the home inspector had missed. They had to order a few parts and put 'em on the next weekend, but again they showed up on time and were always more than curteous. All work was done fast, clean and high quality. Can't see myself using anyone else in the future.

Description of Work: Our mortar in our chimney's bricks had receded from the winds and rains of hurricanes. The bricks were decentagrading. They were replaced. A new chimney cap was put on. Then the bricks were resealed. Inside our fireplace water had leaked in and bricks and mortar had to be replaced there also. The company arrived on time . The work was finished within 4 hours of arrival. We will gladly use him again.

They were honest about what needed to be done. There were two options. They explained the benefits of both the less expensive and more expensive options. They showed up on time and did exactly what they said they would do for the price that they quoted me. I didn't feel like they overcharged me. Everything has worked out since then.

They were very professional and very quick. As there was nothing wrong with my fireplaces, the chimneys were cleaned in about 30 minutes. They protected carpets and furniture and left my home spotless. However, they arrived an hour early due to a cancellation but failed to call to notify me they would be early.

Mr Dale Lewis was happy to be of service. The cost for the chimney sweep and inspection was $90 and then he had a coupon on Angie's List for $10 off. Mr Lewis was able to have a crew out to my house within a couple of days of my call. They were on time and performed all duties requested in a timely fashion and with no mess. They were very helpful in teaching me how to use my gas fireplace. They also gave me a quote for gas logs with installation. They were not pushy salesman, just informative. The price for the logs and installation was only $360.00. This is what the logs from Home Depot would have cost and I would have had to install them. I contacted Mr Lewis and placed my order. Within a week I had beautiful, quality logs in my fireplace. I can not say enough about the service I received. I will definitely use Bay Are Chimney Sweep again!
