They did a good job. It was excellent. They had to pull something out and get out a dead animal, and they did it great, because I wouldn’t have done it.
Description of Work: I used Neat Sweep for chimney sweep services. They put a chimney cap on top of the chimney so birds and things couldn’t get in.

I have already used them before and they were okay. They completed their job. I do not have any benchmark to which I could compare them.

They appeared to be very honest. I have had a company come out before them to look at our fireplace in our home and they had told me I needed Nu Flue and all kinds of stuff. I called Neat Sweep as a secondary estimate and they came out but I didn't tell them that they were secondary estimate, I just had them come out to look at it. They said it was a brand new Flue lining and the chimney was clean but probably needed to be brushed. They said it looked like it had been well maintained. They were on time. The fellow that came was very polite. He cleaned up after himself very well and told me things that I might want to do at a later date. He gave me a written estimate for those. They were just a very professional company. They were probably the lower priced companies in the area. They did an excellent job. They were here when they said they were going to be and they charged me what they said they were going to charge. The guy took the time to explain a few things and I was very well pleased.

The visit was very helpful and I now know what to do in order to make the fireplace work properly.
Description of Work: Service professional was on time and provided review of my chimney and fireplace. No cleaning was required however he fixed the damper chain connection and re-secured the chain holder to the firebox. He reviewed the fire-worthiness of the rebuilt fire box and explained what needed to be done in order for the fireplace to work properly.

Services and professionalism was great!
Description of Work: Purchased a Deal through Angies List for $89.00 to have a complete chimney sweep and inspection in my new home. The man that came by was very professional and honest. He gave me great advice about my fireplace without trying to sell to me all day. He also added some feature at no cost just to make sure animals couldnt sneak under the chimney cap.

Service seemed fine for chimney cleaning.
Description of Work: Chimney cleaning $125. He seemed prompt & courteous & cleaned up well. Marcell the owner of course recommended other work to be done to the chimney to the tune of about $500 but I didn't do the work.

The fireplace had not been used in several years and they were very honest that it did not need to be cleaned after they inspected it. They also advised us about the number of fires we planned to burn each year and how often to have it reinspected. I would use them again.

Called for services on Friday afternoon and was able to get first call following day. Contractor arrived on time with two people. Good deal for $90. Were here for 45 min. Inspected the cap top in the rain. Only negative was that my basement carpet got a little muddy and tracked up because of the weather. I felt they could have been a bit more observant and conscious about tracking up carpet. Other than that I'm pretty happy with the service but felt the estimate to correct cracks in my crown by replacement of whole crown for $400 seemed high but it is about 35 feet high with two flues.

He showed up a little early and inspected the chimney. We were having trouble opening that metal door thingey at the bottom of the chimney. He is going to order the part for us and install it soon. He also discovered a couple of other little problems that he will take care of at the same time. So far they haven't charged us anything, but the estimate is 150.00. Can you imagine? He came out and checked everything and is going to order the part we need and come back and fix everything for that amount? This is the third time we have used Neat Sweep. We are not just happy customers, we are fans!

They did a good job once they got there. They had to reschedule the first appointment on the day of the appointment. Putting the chimney cap back on my chimney took less than 15 minutes so being charged $65.00 for 15 minutes of work seemed a little pricy. They gave me a quote for a better chimney cap and minor repair to the chimney which is excess of $300.00. Again, a little pricy. Will probably look around to see if I can get a better price.
Description of Work: I already had a chimney cap but was blown off a few year ago during one of the wind storms. They just needed to put the chimney cap back on the chimney.

This company was very prompt and thorough. The service person was very professional and knowledgeable. The whole process was fast and easy. I would definitely use this company again in the future.
Description of Work: The service professional cleaned out the chimney as he was scheduled to do. He first checked the chimney from the outside using a ladder. He then cam inside and put down cloths and began cleaning the inside of the chimney. Once he was done he gave recommendations for getting a new screen for the fireplace. After that he cleaned up and left.

We had an estimate from 2 years ago by Neat Sweep for $785. The brick had deteriorated since then, so the price had to be increased, but it was still much less than I would have paid with another mason I contacted who was going to charge over $1000 just for the chimney cap. They started within a week of when we agreed upon the job. It took two full days and a part of a third day. The worker seemed kind of slow, but careful. We had weather interruptions including Hurricane Sandy, so the whole job stretched over nearly 3 weeks. John fully explained each facet of the job before doing it, and we are very pleased with the result.
Description of Work: John was the brick mason who did our work. He tuck pointed the brick on the front and side steps. He had to re-lay about 8 bricks that were too loose already. He added one brick to replace one that had broken. He water sealed both sets of steps, and he re-did the cement cap on the top of our chimney.

I emailed the company twice after I purchased the deal and received no response. Upon calling, I was informed that the email address used in the advertisement was incorrect. I made an appointment and the gentleman showed up on time and was very informative. He told me I did not need a chimney sweep for my furnace flu and that doing so would get soot in my furnace unless they took the whole thing apart. My furnace people would tell me if it needed cleaning, he said. He was extremely knowledgeable, spent time answering my questions and answered several more questions for me with a promise to apply a portion of the fee to future work but I was going to be charged for the visit. After a promise for an estimate and a credit, I have heard nothing since. Given that this company was recommended by Angie's list, I am disappointed I paid money for something and didn't get what I paid for.
Description of Work: The service I wanted performed was to clean out my furnace flu. The service was not provided.

I was most impressed by their service technician named Carey. He came first time in November 2007. He told me that if my current use of fire log and occasional wood continues, then I would just need it to be done every four years, so to call them in 2010. They came again in April 2010 and did the discount cleaning and inspection for $69. Again they told me that the fireplace chimney had to be done in 2014. I would use them in the future.
Description of Work: I used Neat Sweep. They are not a chimney cleaning service. They relined the furnace for me.

We had never had the chimmey cleaned and meant to get a cap for years. With the house being over 20 years old , thought it was time. Dave provided pictures on a camera to confirm the problems he found. He also took care of scheduling the next appt and I received a call to confirm they were scheduled the day before. Very smooth process. Total for Cleaning, Cap and Repairs ended up being $504.
Description of Work: My service was done in the Glen Allen area of Henrico co. We had the chimmey cleaned, a cap installed before the chimmey shallows could get in again on April 20. They found a crack in the chimmey and flashing problems, came back and repaired the next week. Very professional, curtious and took care of the problem.
