Description of Work: When we sold our house, the chimney inspector found that the chimneys for our three fireplaces had to be relined, even though we had never used them. The chimney inspector gave us an estimate for the work. Two other firms gave us estimates. Nicto, which we found through Bromwell's Fireplaces, gave us a price that was half the other two quotes. They showed us exactly why their estimate varied from the other two and why it was superior. We kept a close eye on everything they did. Their work was impeccable. Marco is easy to work with. It was an unwelcome job but a job well done.

Description of Work: It was good. They performed the safety inspection as scheduled. They didn't know how to get the fireplace working and I think they should've known how to do that.

Nicto is a superb company who did a great deal of work in a timely manner, with expert craftsmanship, and with great care for the house and the yard. My house was built in 1964, and the chimney's needed quite a bit of work. Marcos was right on time for his appointment, was thorough and professional in his estimating process. The price was very competitive with other offers, and the work was done in quick and extremely professional fashion. I highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: Replaced the mortar crown on two chimneys. replaced the caps on three flues, and tuckpointed the mortar in several places. Also repaired the flue liner on one chimney, swept it, installed a new damper, and cleaned the firebox.

At the inside of the house, we noticed a discoloration on the outside of the fireplace, indicating a probable chimney leak somewhere. We called Nicto. They went up via a ladder and deduced that the leak entered at the junction of the roof and the chimney. He also took a picture of my chimney cap which revealed evidence of rusting. Also, there was much mold on the outside of the chimney where rain water would roll down the roof, hit the chimney, and then run down the side of the chimney. They power washed and replaced the chimney cap on the first day, then installed the deflecter and did the water proofing on the exterior of the chimney on the second day. The chimney cap has a life=time warranty; the water proofing has a ten year warranty. Prior to inspecting the outside, Nicto inspected the inside of the fireplace and pointed out the difference in the appearance of the right inside firewall vs the left inside firewall indicating leakage on the right side. They were very professional.
Description of Work: Nicto replaced the chimney cap, power washed the chimney, placed a deflecter at the place where the roof met the chimney, and then water proofed the chimney.

I needed a chimney liner installed, as the house we just bought had a woodburning fireplace insert but no chimney liner, which was not to code and a fire hazard. As soon as I called Nicto Chimney Sweeps, the receptionist answered and was very professional. She quickly set up a free estimate with the owner, Marcos Pacheco. I will note that Nicto was the only chimney sweep we called (of about 5) that promptly called us back and wasn't booked out for months. Marcos arrived on time and spent over an hour with us for the free estimate, explaining what sort of liner was needed and how much it would cost. Inspecting the chimney, he noted several other problems. A different chimney sweep company had just completed some other work that was subpar, and he picked up on this right away. Although we were disappointed to have to start from scratch, pricing was very reasonable. The cost for the liner plus all the repairs was about the same as what a different company wanted to charge us just for the liner. Nicto did A LOT of work for $1900. Two men were there for an entire day and they also returned the second day. On the day they were supposed to do the work, it was pouring rain, and the receptionist called the day before to reschedule. She also called the day before the rescheduled appointment to remind me. Marcos and his assistant arrived on time. They cleaned the interior of the chimney so thoroughly and actually removed several pounds of soot that a different company didn't remove, even though the prior company said they did. I was truly impressed with how thoroughly they cleaned the chimney. They installed the new liner and put on a new cap and crown. They also did all the other work as outlined, and even pressure washed the deck while they were washing the chimney. The other company had done a really shoddy job of washing the chimney, but Marcos was able to get it so much cleaner. They obviously take a lot of pride in their work. The mortar work on the chimney shoulder looks great and was done very meticulously. He also examined our dryer vent and cleaned our gutters for free. Finally, he reassured us that what we thought was mold on our fireplace was actually efflourescence and gave us some cleaner to wash it off. (He said he could have done it but was nice enough to just give us the cleaner so that we did not have to pay for him to clean it.) I would highly recommend Marcos and Nicto Chimney Sweeps to anyone who wants a professional job done!
Description of Work: Removed old chimney crown and cap and installed new ones; installed chimney liner and hooked it up to woodburning fireplace insert; swept chimney; cleaned gutters; pressure washed and waterproofed chimney exterior; repointed shoulder of chimney; examined dryer vent

Everything went very well - see above.
Description of Work: Nicto installed a woodburning fireplace insert. The charge included an initial visit and the actual installation. The company is very thorough - they started a fire in the insert to be sure that everything was working, and left everything in order. We had previously used them for chimney cleaning, installing a new chimney liner and cap, and chimney repair. All jobs were done well, on time, for reasonable prices - and there have been no problems afterward. An extremely good company that I have recommended to neighbors and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

The guy’s name is Marcus. They were just efficient. I think their price was fair. I would use their services again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Nicto Chimney Sweeps LLC for chimney cleaning. I used their services last week, on the 21st of April. They came in and cleaned one of my chimneys and we capped it with some new cement and also waterproofed it on, both inside and outside.
