AB RICHARDS PROFESSIONALS

As a businessman, I am extremely impressed with not only the work ethic of the owners, Bartholomew & Kathy, but also their integrity. On tow levels of our home, my wife and I have a free standing wood burning stove as well as a wood burning stove insert in our fireplace. The exterior of our home needed some masonry repairs, and that was taken care of as well. I highly recommend AB Richards professionals. Thank you for a job well done! Tom

Very professional, friendly, and did a great job with cleaning & repairs of our chimney on 9/22/23. We definitely recommend AB Richards!

All the work we have had done at our home by AB RICHARDS PROFESSIONALS through the last 6 years has been absolutely top notch. Our most recent visit from their team was for chimney and fireplace cleaning at which they did a wonderful job. Our chimneys are very tall and our main fireplace hearth is massive. We don't know if the previous owners of our home ever had a professional chimney sweeping done, but we are confident to know that all is safe and as clean as possible for when it is allowable in our county to enjoy a wood fire. Over the last 6 years, AB Richards has also done excellent interior and exterior window cleaning for us, meticulous gutter cleaning, and heavy ivy trimming/removal from our home. Our house is quite tall, so those jobs are challenging, requiring extension ladders, expert equipment and experts to get them done right. The AB Richards Professionals team has always delivered. They've never failed to go the extra mile, with regard to their diligence, the care and respect they show to our home and property, and their genuine concern that we are pleased with the results of their work. We highly recommend them to anyone in need of the specialty services they provide.

Very well. Good communication. Friendly and professional. Would recommend to others.

AB Richards brought in a different company to do the duct cleaning. They claimed that we had 3 mains. He made a big deal about why mains were expensive and why they had a flat price for all if them because they might have to cut in to clean them. Well they didn’t. They cleaned all three mains (our house is 2300 square feet) and two chimneys in less than 3 hours. Whenever we showed hesitation he’d say he’d give us a deal. Oh your in cottonwood heights I will give you a deal. At the end of the whole thing the pricing ended up being very confusing and there were no deals given except for $100 off a dryer vent cleaning. He charges over $200 for that but if you look up the average price on Angie’s List you know that’s a rip off. He also didn’t consult with us about the chimney sweep. We didn’t know that our chimney didn’t have a damper. It is wide open which is why the last owner never used it and put insulation inside. AB Richards claimed it was too messy to inspect first, but the reality was that there was insulation in it. Charged us for full price for both cleanings. Angie’s list gives you average prices for work done. Do the research and decline the jobs that don’t seem fair. If you think $1,600 for three hours of work is fair and appropriate please continue with AB Richards.

Bartholomew and Kathy did a fantastic job, again! I am so pleased that I found them to maintain our chimneys. They are punctual and very professional. I really appreciate how knowledgeable they are and how they educate me on the needs and work that they do. Definitely get my money's worth!

It went well. They also found some holes and sealed them up.

Ir was quickly completed and the finished product was very excellent! The cinder block wall was disintegrating and desperately needed repair. A patio wall and fireplace were also in need of repair. The finished walls look like new. It is very a very satisfying job!

Higher quality service and parts than anticipated. Cost more, but worth it.

Prompt, efficient. I should have done a price comparison before I hired them -- over $700 seemed excessive in retrospect. They didn't wear booties on their shoes and walked all over my white carpet in boots fresh from outdoors and snow. Also they didn't really have towels to get equipment from door to the fireplace -- although cover for fireplace area was more than adequate. I had to point out part of the screening that was still dirty when they were about to leave and they had to bring their huge vacuum inside again -- more dirt on the wood floor.

It went perfect! This is a great company. I would highly recommend them. I plan on having them back for window cleaning and gutter cleaning.

I was very impressed with the work done by these two. They took time to make sure that the dust and dirt was contained on tarps and inside the fire box while doing the cleaning. Our fireplace contains Pipes the circulate the heat from a fire back into the room and made this a difficult job. I was not given excuses for why this could not be done, but rather was explained that it would take a little longer than expected, given this and the overall size of the fireplace. I would highly recommend these guys to anyone needing their fireplace cleaned.

Returned my call promptly, I got appointment within a few days, and owner Bartholomew and assistant/wife Kathy showed up on time. He worked outside from top while she ran the vacuum setup in the small, 1937 fireplace. They were thorough. We discussed condition of the gas log that's been there for many years, and decided to reuse the cleaned up concrete logs and replace broken metal grate that they stack on. Bartholomew suggested a bit smaller grate would better fit the size of the existing gas jet assembly (he was right). Regarding this manual style gas jet assembly, we discussed merits of putting in a new one or keeping the one that has always worked fine. He thought if we're satisfied and it ain't broke . . . . One last thing: Chimney needed steel caps, he pointed out, as moisture, debris, critters had access. I agreed and he located fireplace grate and chimney caps on the phone, then drove off to get them while Kathy finished cleaning. All done efficiently. Good cleaning job, good suggestions. Happy with it.

They are terrific. He and his wife did a great job and were completely thorough. They took their time and did it right and windows turned out great. Was more expensive than we thought, but we had no context for the type of work and it was worth it and we more than got what we paid for. He is a great guy and has done our gutters as well and did a great job. He is our go to for these type of services and we would not use anyone else.

Wouldn't Hire again. Saw a "Gutter Cleaning" special on AL. Called to set up appt and identify price. Was told that a "smaller house" would cost around $150 pre AL coupon. Gentleman came out on time spent approx 20 minutes, charged $215 after AL Discount and attempted to sell us into additional services that we absolutely did not need. Gutters were clean but will complete job personally next time - now way worth the expense.

A.B. Richards did a great job in assessing our roof and letting us know what needed to be done, and was sure to let us know what was a nice to have and a need to have. We ended up needing a chimney cap, and sealing of our dummy chimneys and some other exhaust vents. Bartholomew found us a chimney cap that fit ours, even though it was not a standard size that was made anymore. His wife did a great job of thoroughly cleaning the chimney and was really helpful in showing us how to use our dampener. They even recommended a wood supplier before they left.

AB Richards fit me in emergently. Eric and Kris were top-notch. They came in and knew exactly what they were doing and did the work efficiently. They got a ton of crud out of my dryer vent and duct work. Kris fixed a problem he found with the dryer. And Eric fixed a problem that could have been fatal. The previous owner had stuffed insulation in the space where carbon monoxide is supposed to disperse. We felt so much better and breathed so much better after having this work done. Amazing results.

Bartholomew does excellent work and is great to work with. He's a kind man by nature, it's easy to see that he really cares about his customers. My experience has been that he always goes the extra mile to make sure his customers are satified. I highly endorse the service he provides.

They were awesome! it was cold and getting dark, and they hadn't been done for a long time. They stayed very late and got the job done. I feel like they sacrificed a lot to do this work for me. They were very professional and pleasant even though it was hard to do. I will definitely hire them again.

We hired A B Richards Pros to clean our raingutters windows, and dryer vent. They showed up on time and did an excellent job. They even removed some stubborn hard water stains on some of the windows that needed restoring. They cleaned our dryer vent and all the raingutters. They installed downspout protectors to prevent debris from getting in the downspouts. Good price on protectors and services. We will definately hire them again

This is a family owned business, and I was thoroughly impressed. Some of the windows were oxidized and had water spots on them which required acid washing. They came fully equipped with ladders, equipment, supplies, even water. I HIGHLY recommend this company. They were thorough, and worked quickly. I could not believe the difference in the windows!

They were very professional, provided great advise on maintenance and care of my fireplace and provided a comprehensive assessment of all items that needed to be taken care of.

Fantastic! I called Bartholomew with very short notice and he was able to fit me into his schedule. They did an excellent job and provided helpful advice to avoid long-term roof related issues. Very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend. I've found him to be less expensive than other providers.

Bartholomew and his crew were great! Not only was I able to schedule them quickly, but they did great work. He showed up at the time he promised and had the crew and equipment needed to accomplish the project. They noticed a few minor repair issues with some of our gutters and he was great to communicate with us and discuss solutions and costs. I would definitely hire AB Richards again.

They showed up on time and did everything they said they were going to do in a very professional manner. I would hire them again for any of their services. In fact this is the second time I've had them come in the last week, the first time they did chimney cleaning, repair and sealing of vents and chimney cover.
