They arrived on the date promised. This was probably more difficult than most jobs they do since it was inside the wall, but it was still completed in the same day along with a second job, installing a new exhaust duct for our hot water heater. We were very pleased with how well they kept the dust down. This is very dirty work, don't be deceived, but they tried to keep it down as much as possible. They helped with moving some furniture, laid down drop cloths, put up plastic to seal off the living room where they were working and cleaned up afterwards. Best price we found for doing this job. I can't speak to whether his prices are the lowest, but he doesn't charge a Franklin Mint! Good job, good price, good, hard-working crew. He made sure the job was done to our satisfaction when they completed. (I had to reschedule with him once, Chris was very gracious and accommodating) This is one of the FEW reputable contractors I have dealt with in Washington State. I would not only Absolute Chimney again, but recommend to anyone needing this kind of work done. Highly recommended!

Chris was very pleasant on initial phone contact. He quoted me a price at that time for chimney sweep. He called to notify me one-half hour prior to arrival. They arrived on time. They both used covered booties when they entered our home. They cleaned up after themselves. Were careful with their equipment (did not hit doors or walls). They were professional, courteous, and pleasant to work with. They worked efficiently but not hurried. Chris ordered the insert parts for us and called us when he got them; install appointment was the next morning. We are very pleased with their work. They seem like a very dependable company. We look forward to using them again. Price quoted above includes installation and tax.
Description of Work: Chris and his associate cleaned the chimney from top to bottom (wood-burning fireplace insert). They also replaced worn parts in the fireplace insert.

Description of Work: this company did the brick work for the inside fireplace to sit on. It looked as though they didn't know what they were doing and after work was done it was so messy and the Brick floor was not level. the brick they used was REALLY brittle..... we called them back and he wanted to get paid for re-doing the work. we said no, what I can say about them is that they are very nice and polite but really don't know how they got a license to do this kind of work. not happy with the end result but will not pay to have it redone. and the price was way too high... They quoted us one price and then charged us 300.00 more after work was done.( I see a problem here... the guys name was Chris Arndt but the paperwork we have says: Absolute Chimney, 253-905-4117 and address is 1905 S Hosmer St Tacoma, Wash, 98405) Construction Lic#ABSOLC992MJ) I questioned it at the time the work was done..... if maybe these guys were working under someone elses name??? we have had brickwork done before and I could have done a better Job. what a shame!!
