They guys that showed up to do the work were awesome however, scheduling was a real pain. Every time we had to re-schedule we had to wait an additional 3 to 6 weeks so it took a long for them to come out to do the work. They were very punctual on letting me know. They told me I needed to have an additional $950 worth work done to fix my chimney but they provided no pictures and just sent me the quote in an email. I thought that was odd.
Description of Work: I purchased the big deal for Chimney Sweep & Chimney Cap.

Thank you for your feedback. If you received an estimate, there should have been pictures taken and attached to your estimate which is sent via email. If you would like for us to come back to your home and do so, please contact the office to make an appointment. I would be more than happy to schedule a technician to come by your home.

They didn't show when expected and didn't return calls that day, but apparently there had been an emergency with the technician and the backup was on leave. The following day, they called, were very apologetic and more than made up for it the very next day! Would definitely use them again.

They had to reschedule the appointment twice. The last occasion, they were were supposed to show between 9 and 11 am. I specifically asked that they arrive closer to 9 due to our work schdule. They did not arrive with that time window, and they did not call to let us know they were not going to be able to make it on time. We live about 45 minutes from Woodbridge,so I recommend that you choose another company closer to your home. Certified Chimney and Masonary Services Inc. apparently has a scheduling problem, or has a problem providing services outsie thier immediate area. Don't waste your time.

Thank you for your feedback. Although we always try to accommodate our customers, scheduling is done in block scheduling for the day. Some appointments take less/more time than others and therefore we can not specifically guarantee specific times upon scheduling. The technicians will call prior to arrival or if they are running behind, if this did not happen in your case, I do apologize.

Heather gave me a time period in which they would arrive, which they did, and although it was raining, still cleaned both the fireplace chimney and dryer vent without a complaint, although they were soaked by the time they were through. The dryer vent had never been cleaned before to my knowledge and had a lot of stuff in there, but they cleaned all the lint up afterwards. Would recommend to anyone looking for professional services at a good price!
Description of Work: Cleaned chimney, but for an additional $79 cleaned the dryer vent without paying a service call fee.

I have used Mitchel's Chimney & Masonry Specialists, Inc. for many years. Mitchel's had excellent service and technicians who knew what they were doing. Since the company was bought a year ago, I was very pleased to learn that Heather Davis is still the office manager and Te'on Dixon is not only the lead technician but also a partner in the new company. They do a great job in telling you what they plan to look at in your chimney inside and on your roof. They are very professional and do an excellent job. I would highly recommend this company and I will continue to use their good services.
Description of Work: I had two chimneys cleaned and inspected.

Description of Work: I bought this deal on June 7. That following Monday I contacted them by phone only to get their answering machine. I waited a couple of days that week and heard nothing back from them. So I proceeded to email them in which they replied saying something was wrong with their phones and that they would get back to me. Again, no further contact. I emailed them again and they replied with a date to come out on June 19 between 9 and 1. I did not get a courtesy reminder call the day before and had to contact them by email asking if we were still good for this date. No reply. They did show up about 10 am on the 19th in an unmarked van with a big giant ladder on the top of their car and a man and woman who looked like they had just come from the corner of a 7/11. The man had dreadlocks a t-shirt, shorts and sneakers. Not something I was expecting from a so-called professional company. They proceeded to check out a vent on the side of our house that was not our dryer vent but the vent to the bathroom on the inside. My laundry room is located on the second floor of my house and I was not aware until I called my neighbor that our vent is located on top of the roof. Once these two learned this, they sort of stood there not really knowing what to do next and told us that they would contact someone in their company who is a master mason I guess and see if they could get him out there that day and asked us if they couldn't get him out today what days would be good? I told them any day would be good. She said she would call me which never happened later that day. I contacted them by email the next day to find out what the status was since I hadn't heard from them? They emailed me today (two days later) to tell me that if we wanted the work to be done it would be an extra $65 being our vent is on the roof. No where in this deal I purchased did it mention there MAY be an extra cost which I mentioned to them via email. I also had mentioned that our neighbor had a company come out and do their vent and they did all their work from the inside. This company replied with that they never do their work from the inside with something like this and being that it hasn't been done in four years it will be quite a mess and to be advised. I do NOT recommend this company to anyone that's looking to get a dryer vent cleaning. This company is beyond unprofessional in my opinion. They do not know a thing about customer service or how to make a customer happy. I give this company an F plus plus plus!!! I am beyond disappointed with the lack of attention they provided regarding the service we wanted done. I do not wish to be contacted by these people again and I highly recommend Angie's list users stay far away from this company. If I had known that there would be an extra cost because our vent is on top of our roof, I would have never contacted them. Perhaps they should have a list of questions to ask potential customers before going out and wasting both parties' time.

Response from Certified Chimney & Masonry Services Inc
I was advised by Angie's List, my account rep to post a response to this review. First, and foremost, I was shocked to see Angie's List would allow such a review. The comment, "the man and woman arrived, looking straight off the corner of 7-11, in a white van with a ladder on it and the man, with dreadlocks, T-shirt, shorts and sneakers, not what i would have expected from a professional company", is a racially profiling comment. We are a service company, who cleans chimneys all day, not an accounting firm, who would show up with a suit and tie on. The style of someones hair does not determine the quality of work and expertise they possess. Us as a company, does not discriminate when hiring our employees. Not to mention, the technician that showed up to [member name removed] home, is one of the owners of the company. When [member name removed] purchased her Big Deal on Angie's List, she indeed called the office to schedule, only to receive our answering machine, due to issues when had with our telephone company, she at that point, emailed us. I responded promptly to her email, letting her know that the service company was at the office, working on our phones and as soon as they were finished, I would give her a call. Unfortunately, they were unable to fix the problem that day and would need to return. When [member name removed], contacted me again via email, I set up a date with her, in which she never asked for a call the day before to confirm service. Our company calls 30 mins in advance, when the technician is on their way, in which we did. When we arrived at her home, her husband advised us that that dryer vent was on the side of the home. When we accessed the vent, we found a huge bees nest inside the vent, the technician had to remove the nest before he could gain access to the vent, in which he did. At that point, [member name removed]returned home. I asked her if they were having issues with their dryer, due to the fact there was no air blowing out of their vent. She replied with, "no, but our clothes stink after they are dry and we have not had our vent cleaned in the 4 years we have lived here". It was at that point, [member name removed], said "I don't think that's the vent", let me call our neighbor who's laundry room is on the second floor, in which she did. It was confirmed that their dryer vent was on the roof. The technician proceeded to try access the roof to clean the vent. Unfortunately, the roof pitch was to steep. We explained to [member name removed], that we would need to have another technician, who has the proper safety equipment to perform the cleaning, due to the roof pitch. I contacted [member name removed] via email, to let her know that there was an additional fee for rooftop cleanings, due to the extra safety precautions and safety equipment, that needed to be used and if she did not want to endure the extra expense that Angie's List would be more than willing to refund her money. I would assume, she did not like my response. Therefore, she proceeded to send me nasty emails, threatening she would ruin our name on Angie's List. Our company strives to maintain a professional, high standard of customer service and will not cut corners to destroy our integrity.

It was easy to make an appointment. They came to look at my dryer vent and they said that it was completely clean and I didn’t need the service.

The service was fine. They did take a while to get it scheduled and it was a little confusing as during this time they switched company names. The actual service did turn out well. They did not call to notify that the original company had been dissolved.
Description of Work: They did a standard chimney cleaning.

The techinican arrived at my home and introduced himself, and explained what he was going to be doing. He went back to the van to get the equipment and started the chimney sweep. The service took about 1 hour to complete and he aslo did a full inspection of the chimney. He was very tidy while he worked. After he was done he cleaned up and left. I will continue to use them as my service company.
Description of Work: Teon Dixon was my technician, he was very informative and professional. He called me 30 minutes prior to arrival to let me know he was on his way. I would recommend Certified Chimney & Masonry Services, Inc. to anyone who needs a chimney sweep company.
