I recently purchased an Angie's List Big Deal to have my gas log fireplace cleaned/inspected. It had been several years since it was done, so I figured it was probably due. Once I bought the deal, Fox Chimney quickly contacted me to set up a time to come out. They called me again on the day of the service to let me know they were on their way. The technician was prompt, courteous, and very knowledgable. He answered all of my questions, and I was pleased with the results. I thought the price was reasonable, and I plan to use them again in the future.

I had not had the gas fireplace checked in years, so having it inspected and cleaned up for the winter seemed appropriate. The repair man showed up promply for the appointment and did a great job. He also gave me some safety tips which I appreciated.

I was very pleased with the service Fox Chimney provided. The technician was extremely knowledgeable about our fireplace and fixed a problem with the wiring that had apparently existed since it was installed. We enjoy our fireplace much, much more now that the fan works correctly, the glass is clean, and we have more embers. Very much worth the expense!

Travis was punctual, friendly and took the time to answer all of my questions. He cleaned our gas fireplace glass and even explained to me how to remove the glass to do it myself if I would so choose. He replaced our embers and make our fireplace look fantastic. I am definitely happy will the service and would not hesitate to hire them again.

Technician arrived and started work on the lower fireplace/stove, removed glass, cleaned glass, painted rust that surrounded glass with high temperature enamel spray paint and then removed some of the loose rock and replaced it with "glowing embers". He then reassembled, lit pilot and then check burn. He then cleaned area and moved to the second unit which was a repeat of the first (slightly different unit, but basically the same steps as above. Technician was great, very informative and knowledgeable. He made suggestions for efficient use of the gas fireplaces/stoves and also for another wood burning stove that we have at a cabin.

Jayson Fox and his technician Dustin responded to my request promptly, and quickly determined the problem. He told me my chimneys were clean and so did not try to sell me unneeded services. However, the initial measurements for the covers were incorrect and therefore the replacement covers could not be installed on schedule and had to be re-ordered. However, the new covers were efficiently installed immediately upon receipt by Dustin and his assistant, without further problems. Also, Jayson mailed a copy of the inspection report for my records, as promised. Despite the delay, I would definitely use Fox Chimney Service again.
Description of Work: Inspected both chimneys to determine cause of leakage into fireplaces. Discovered old chase covers had deteriorated. Replaced chase covers for both chimneys. Problem solved.

They were great. There were two men who came and thery friendly and seemed to really enjoy their job. The gentleman who cleaned my fireplace was very careful about not getting anything dirty. I have light colored carpet and it was covered up very well. He was very friendly and funny. The gentleman who looked at my wood burner gave my husband great advise on what we should and shouldn't do with it. He also was able to give us an estimate on how much it would cost to replace it. Both men worked fast and did a great job. But, they took their time answering all our questions. I would not hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them.

In my review, I explained well enough the transaction.
Description of Work: With a wire brush, one of the two guys simply rubbed away any buildup from the main opening in my living room only. After that they picked up their tarps from front door to fireplace. Outdoors the other guy placed a ladder up to the top of the house. Seeing that, I came outside to see what he was doing and he was already coming down. I asked if he actually looked at it all over, and both guys smiled and said yes. I was uncomfortable thinking he had just climbed up there and couldn't have spent enough time to thoroughly examine it. Also, I was shocked they did no cleaning from the top from the top of the chimney.

Hello (Member name removed), I would like to apologize if you felt our service was not up to par. But saying that i also want to stress to you, or anyone reading this, that if you have questions or concerns at the time, please bring them up at the time so that we can take care of your concerns while we are there. Although you may not have noticed, we did actually clean your chimney from the bottom, It is a common misconception that all chimneys are cleaned from the top,in fact most chimneys we clean from the bottom. You also should know that you have what is known in the industry as a pre-fab chimney. These are basically a metal pipe inside a wood chase with siding and a metal plate on top. To an experienced eye it takes maybe two or 3 minutes to determine if there are any issues in relation to the outside of the chimney. We are professionals and look at hundreds of chimneys per year. While it may seem fast to you i can guarantee that our people do not miss things of importance. If you were not happy with the service or have questions or concerns I would really urge you to call and speak with me as I would be more than happy to send out another technician to give it a second look at no charge if that will assist you in feeling more comfortable about the safety of your fireplace. Thank you.

The communication after the purchase was prompt and clear. I was able to pick our day and time a couple of weeks out and purchase a second cleaning at the same special price. The technician arrived on time and was thorough and efficient. My husband was at home to handle the appointment and had nothing negative to say, which is quite unusual for him :)

An experienced and knowledgeable Fox Chimney professional arrived on time to inspect and clean a wood burning fireplace chimney. He inspected the chimney using a video camcorder, which could be extended to the full length of the chimney. I watched a Real-time video display while the camcorder was in the chimney; afterwards he provided me with a written report. Upon completion of the job, the site was still as clean as it was before he arrived. We were completely satisfied with Fox and would recommend their services.

When they looked at the chimney they said it didn't need to be cleaned but we didn't have a chimney cap. They installed the cap, didn't charge us for the sweep and we just paid the difference for the materials.

They arrived on time and got right to work. One person worked on wood-burning fireplace and its chimney while the other worked on the pellet stove in the basement. I had not had time to clean the firebox since the last fire, so there was a little extra cleaning for them to do (wasn't charged!). The only extra charge above the Angie's List special was the pellet stove. They spent most of their time dismantling the the connection to the chimney to discover it had not been installed correctly (Top Hat Fireplace installed) and ash was not being dropped into the chimney collection system...just piling up in the vent. I was extremely happy with their service and professionalism and will use them again.

They came and did the inspection but they still have not provided further work that they said they would do. They said they would contact us with a date and they have not done that yet. They said they need to fix a leak at the chimney cap at the top of the chimney. We had a smell coming from the chimney and they said that the material covering the flue needed to be removed and they said they need to spray that in the fall to soften it and then they would remove it. The masonry work on the chimney was quoted at about $1,000.00 and the additional work for the flue was an additional amount as well. They did come when they said they would initially and they were polite to work with. I would have liked to have heard from them by now as it has been about two weeks.
