The person who did the work was courteous, professional, and pleasant. He was about 45 minutes late, which was a problem for us as we had to leave for an appointment, and I had left work early in order to meet him at the house. He was thorough, and seemed to do a good job.
Description of Work: He cleaned the chimney, went on the roof for an inspection, and cleaned the fireplace area very well afterward.

We called several chimney sweeps from the list provided by Angie's List. We were in a hurry because we had just had a smoke problem with our wood stove. Of all of the sweeps we called, Peter was able (willing?) to come on short notice and on a weekend. He promised to call on Saturday afternoon as he was wrapping up another to tell us when he would arrive. He called, but it turned out that his job went longer than expected and that would put him in the dark if he came to do ours. He offered to come Sunday mid-morning instead. He arrived as scheduled and spent about 1.5-2 hours on the project. We talked about the stove and how it works before he started. He cleaned the chimney, catalytic converter and air intake ducts. It turns out the smoke problem we had was dues to a clogged intake duct filter. He did what appeared to be a thorough inspection of the equipment. He noticed a problem with our rain gutter cover and fixed that while he was on the roof and also commented on the condition of the roof. We felt he was very thorough, on time and reasonably priced. We will definitely use his services again.
Description of Work: We have a wood stove fireplace insert with a catalytic converter. Peter cleaned and inspectied our chimney, the the catalytic converter, air intake ducts and equipment in general.

I purchased the Angie's List deal for a chimney sweep. He did a really great job but the only thing that rubbed me wrong is that during the job, he complained that he would have charged me more for it. Well at no point during setting up the appointment or on the coupon was there any mention of the size or shape of the chimney. As far as I am away my fireplace/chimney are standard. That just turned me off to him.

A bird got caught in the stovepipe for my wood stove, and I didn't see how to get it out. Pete came by the same day I called, gave the stove a thorough cleaning, and got the bird out and released it outside. He also did a fine job sweeping the chimney, and looked at another wood stove I had some questions about free fo charge. I called him a few days after the work was done with a chimney question, and he was happy to talk on the phone and gave me some useful pointers on how I could take care of the issue myself.
Description of Work: Removed bird from chimney, cleaned chimney and stove.

We had just moved into our house, and wanted to make sure that our chimney was clean and ready to use. Peter showed up on time, checked out our chimney and climbed around our roof and informed us that nothing needed be done... our chimney was perfectly clean. Rather than take our money and run, he instead offered to come back and install chimney doors for us at no cost, and also spent a bunch of time to see if our chimney was ready to be turned into a gas fireplace, should we want to do that. All in all, we would highly recommend using him again.
Description of Work: He came out to sweep our chimney, but went over an above what we expected when it turned out our chimney didn't need swept.

They are the only chimney service we will call. Others we have tried don't live up Badger Chimneys level of excellence.
Description of Work: Bdger Chimney replaced the cap on our chimney and installed a screen on top. They did a very professional job! We use Badger Chimney for our chimney cleaning, and they are very professional, very detailed, reasonably priced, and very careful to not get sot in tthe house.

The guy was very polite, and he cleaned up very well. He also looked at a cracked flu tile that we had, and told us that it would be okay for a while. He could have charged us for that but didn't.

I was very impressed with them; they were here and left when they said they would and there was no clean up afterwards; it was like they were never there. I will use them again in the future.

Well don't expect to set your clock by his arrival. He was (very) late, but did call and let us know he was running behind. Overall the work seemed good, no mess inside, he was in and out in a reasonable amount of time. Very, very nice guy!!

Very impressed with the quality of service. This is the first time we have used Badger Chimney Spec. We burn a cord plus of wood each winter in our fireplace and in 20 years Peter was the first to remove the glass doors to clean them, offer to order replacement screen for us and overall did a more thorough check and cleaning than the the other company we used in the past (Hansen) and charged less. We will definitely use him again.
Description of Work: Total chimney sweep. Cleaned from the roof down (eliminates alot of mess inside your house), checked chimney and all parts for wear or promblems. Cleaned firebox, glass doors and checked for any problems inside.

He looked at our chimney, saw it didn't need cleaning and told us about a problem on our roof that we didn't know about and covered it for us. We are unable to climb up on the roof and had to wait until Ted was able to do that. He's very nice and we would have him back again...

Peter was great. low key and efficient. He explained what he planned to do, did it and it went very well. Finally he wrapped up by with the condition of the chimney, how to prevent future problem and even gave us the name of a great cleaner we can use periodically.

We were impressed with Peter from the initial estimate. We had several other masons out to look at the job, and all noted a bent damper. Peter also noted the bent damper, but said, "I can fix that for you" and did so, without a fee, even before we hired him. Peter and staff worked into the night (which was fine with us as we were not living in the house at the time) and got the job done in the expected time frame. We are so pleased with the work, that we're are contemplating another job, and will definitely hire Peter again!
Description of Work: We purchased a house with a chimney that was falling apart and not safely functioning. Peter rebuilt our chimney from the roof line up (including three new flue tiles, proper cap, flashing, etc.) did some repairs inside, swept the chimney and both fireplaces.
