After doing an initial chimney inspection, prior fire damage was found in the flu. They tore out the old tiles and relined the chimney with a metal liner. It was a very professional crew and I would definitely use them again.

It went very well. I chose an insert based on Jayson's recommendations and set up an appointment for them to come back and install the new fireplace. They ran into some other issues with siding and handled it with care. I have a beautiful new fireplace and I am happy to have worked with Fox.
Description of Work: Fox Chimney came out to my home to inspect and clean the chimney. I had been in the house about 4 weeks and knew that the chimney was not only in need of cleaning, it also needed repair. After inspecting the wood burning fireplace and chimney i was told that it was not safe to use. I was not charged at this time as I decided to have it removed and replaced with a gas insert.

The two men arrived on time and got right to work. They were pleasant and worked quickly. It is important to note that we purchased a big deal, so the price was discounted from the $225.00 usual. Also, they were not able to obtain the new handle or the catalyst, so we purchased them at another dealer at additional cost. They accidentally put a very small nick in the finish of the stove. They voluntarily told me about it and took off the charge for installing the handle to cover the cost of purchasing a little jar of touch up paint.
Description of Work: Cleaned the stove pipe for the wood burning stove. Replaced the gasket seal around the door openning. Replaced the handle on the door. Replaced the catalyst. Generally cleaned the unit.

They cleaned the chimney without issue and provided some recommendations for improvements. The main item had been pointed out to us previously by other sweeps. These people had a more modest and reasonable plan to fix the issue, and after considering it for a while, we will have the work done this time. The only other item they brought up involved an inexpensive insulation repair that we are also doing. We had received previous proposals for this work at three times the price to do work that was frankly far and above what was actually needed to fix the problem. This time we are doing the work because the proposal makes sense. We are likely to use Fox again.
Description of Work: Cleaned the chimney and reviewed its condition.

I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for this service and they worked out fine. They were very smart and gave us some good advice as to how to go forward after the cleaning. They also were courteous so we had no objection. It was a good deal. The people who came out were young and one guy looked a little rough, but he was polite.

Provider was punctual, professional, took time to do a good job and explain details to me. They determined we had had a chimney fire and repairs were needed. Stayed and answered questions from the insurance claims rep. I felt they wanted to help me, not just collect their payment and rush out the door.

Showed up on time and got right to work. Very personable and friendly. Cleaned the chimney and did a video scope and pictures. Shared them all with me and invented me to go on the roof to see what they found. We had a several small chimney fires and presented several options to fix and what we should convey to our insurance company. Contacted our insurance company and they had a few reservations about their reputation but the photos they provided backed them up. All in all a positive experience and we are looking at option for repair.

Thank you! I am sorry that you had to deal with any issue from the insurance company, but I can assure you that we only recommend a claim if the Evidence points to there being damage from a chimney fire and never try to "make up" a situation that is not real. There have been a few times where we have had to resort to calling the Wisconsin insurance commision to intercede in an event where we felt the insurance company was not doing it's due dilligence and I do wish to apologize if that has caused any hassle for you. Thank you again!

The providers were excellent after dealing with many other contractors who have been a real let down. They were on time and got right to the job. They adjusted the door on my wood stove to make it more efficient. They were also not intimidated by my metal roof. I have them on my list now for next year. Great job, good additudes!

They inspected it and informed me that the chimneys were very clean, and that they really didn’t need to do anything. They showed it to me on the video camera. They were in and out in a short time, and did a good inspection. I was satisfied with them.
Description of Work: It was a Big Deal for $99 for a Chimney Sweep and Inspection. They didn’t do any cleaning and they just charged me $99 for the inspection of both chimneys.

It went fine. They advised that I use a chimney sweeping log a couple times this winter. This was new advice for me. My former sweep service never mentioned it even tho they noted that the chimney flue was getting a creosote glaze.

Hi [member name removed], Thanks for using us again. I also wanted to let you know that the logs are working well. Your smoke-chamber is completely clean. It is just going to take some time to get the glazing all out versus using the chemical treament but each method will work. Thank You Again

They informed us that our fireplace has rarely ever been used, and that it was in very good condition. We bought our house 2 years ago and wanted it cleaned so we could have a fire without worrying it was clogged or not vented properly. Mr. Fox assured us everything was good to use, then provided us with how to properly open and close the damper. He seemed a bit shy at first, but we quickly learned that he did indeed know what he was talking about by being very descriptive on how everything works.
Description of Work: Fox Chimney Service was an Angies List "Big Deal"... 99 dollars for a chimney sweep/cleaning. They showed up and did just that by cleaning out our chimney.

Jayson and his crew had replaced the defective piping in my 3 yr old house in 2010. He came back in 2011 to sweep our chimney and found it to be in excellent condition, as we had expected after he had done such a great job the previous year!
