We were happy to find an insert that would fit in an old victorian fireplace that is very shallow. They helped us decide which unit to put into a newly built fireplace. We are very happy with all the fireplaces and use them often. The people at Chminey Concepts were very knowledgeable and they helped us understand what options we had and which were the best for our conditions and desired uses. We would definitely use them again if needed.
Description of Work: We had three gas fireplace inserts installed. Two were small with coal instead of logs, to retrofit victorian fireplaces, and one was a larger fireplace insert with logs.

Overall, the experience with Chimney Concepts was positive. This was our first time using this company, and we were really happy with the results. Dan was scheduled to arrive at 9am, and called at 9 to say he would be 15 minutes late. He arrived at 9:15am and went right to work. Dan cleaned the primary chimney right away and identified that it was quite dirty. He also said we would likely need a new chase in the next 3-5 years. We had asked him to clean the other chimney, and he was nice enough to confirm this before doing so. Dan was professional, efficient and responsive to all questions. When initially quoting us a price, Chimney Concepts made a mistake and quoted us a price that was lower than what they had intended. They honored this lower quote when charging us for the work. This is a company that we will use again.

Very good! The serviceman (Dan) arrived precisely on time - a big plus- and immediately began the inspection. He pronounced our chimney (inspected visually) in good shape, with no need of cleaning. Same for the fireplace, and he advised me on repairing some minor cracks in the block. We have had a gas feed to the main floor fireplace, using it very little, and are looking to start burning wood. The basement fireplace, which we have not used in our 13 years here, was in good shape, but has some issues since our water heater is vented in it's flue. This precludes using it until we remove that vent. He explained the whole situation - apparently an unusual one - to me several times to make sure I understood the options. He also went on the roof and inspected the chimney and cap. Overall, very professional, accommodating, and informative. I thought it was a great value for $79 as quoted.
Description of Work: After many years, we finally had our chimney and fireplaces inspected, with a possibility of having them cleaned if needed.

This is a classic example of a company doing inferior work and not taking responsibility in a timely manner. Although they are generally cordial, scheduling is difficult from their end. They have been here numerous times and not been able to fix a problem that evidently has existed since the initial installation in February. Communication is very poor- after months of waiting and paying out around $4000, we still have to call them to get any detail at all. No partial refund or other reparation has ever been offered by the company, and we are weary of having to call them for updates and wait around while they "fit us in", only to have the problem go unsolved. Hopefully we'll have it working before Christmas.
Description of Work: Chimney Concepts installed a fireplace insert in our E Side home. Although it worked properly for the first month or so, it was apparently not installed correctly and finally did not function at all starting this October. After waiting weeks for an appointment, we were told the initial installation was incorrect, and a new part had to be ordered. We heard nothing for several more weeks, then finally got them to the house again several days ago. They were unable to complete the repair and said they would come back as soon as possible. We have heard nothing since then.

We were not in any hurry so 2 weeks from date of call was fine. Arrived on time was very friendly. Got along well with our pets which was a plus. Very clean and efficient. Gave very helpful advice. Gave coupon discount without having the coupon. Price was about the same as other companies contacted. Excellent overall experience.

They came to clean and check the chimney. They said it didn't need it. We were having smoke smell in our basement when we have a fire. He covered our unused chimney for the furnace and said try that. Said they won't charge us but call it an estimate. Guy was professional and very nice. It turned out we need additional work we would call them. After a bit of confusion when we called them back it was scheduled. Mike came worked extremely hard and finished as told in a timely manner. Very professional and nice. I would recommend them.
Description of Work: The replaced the liner in our fireplace/chimney. Removed old clay liner and replaced with new stainless steel flue liner. Noew cap on top.

I don?t remember the price I paid, but they charged me for one chimney even though they inspected both chimneys and so I felt that it was reasonable. The person who inspected the chimney was very honest about what we did or didn?t need. He assured that our chimneys were safe after the inspection which wasn?t what we had heard from another company about one of our chimneys. So I appreciated his honesty. I had asked him specifically if he thought that there was problem with one and he described exactly what was wrong. He told us how we could find a remedy to the situation ourselves without having him do it and spend the money. It was pretty clean too.
Description of Work: We used the services of Chimney Concepts to clean and check the fireplace in November of last year. They inspected both chimneys.

Service overall was good. They were timely and easy to work with.
Description of Work: Pieces of one of our brick chimneys were falling off. We did estimates with three companies and Chimney Concepts came in with the best price. They rebuilt about the top half of the chimney and it looks great and has not given us any problems.

Chimney concepts did excellent work. We had them install a glass fireplace door and they cleaned after themselves before they left. They also came out to our house another time just to make sure they got the measurements correct. We will use them again for our fireplace/chimney needs.
Description of Work: Checked our chimney and fireplace back in september, installed a fireplace door in place of our fireplace screen.

Excellent service. Technician inspected chimney and installed the cap. Very professional. He was quick, but careful to protect our floor from dust. Would definitely call again. The cap has a warranty and if it comes off in a storm, etc. will be replaced free of charge.

They were very professional and honest.
Description of Work: I called for a chimney inspection and if necessary a cleaning. They had a computer breakdown on the day of the visit and did not call me until the end of the service time window to let me know they were running late. They gave me the option of rescheduling for later that day or another day. The service man arrived later that day, inspected the chimney and told me everything was in good condition and I did not need a cleaning. He also waived the $79 inspection fee because of the need to reschedule the visit
Although the scheduled work date had to be rescheduled a few times due to weather and other previously scheduled jobs, the office staff was always pleasant and promptly called us to reschedule. When the work was done, the workers on site appeared knowledgeable. They were professional and efficient. They cleaned up well after the work was done. The chimney looks wonderful. We were able to use the fireplace all winter and have not had any trouble with leaking this spring.
Description of Work: Chimney Concepts dismantled the chimney to the flashing and rebuilt the chimney. Flue tiles in rebuilt section were replaced and a liner was added from the waterheater connector pipe to the top of the chimney. Finally, a new damper and rain cap were installed. In the spring, workers returned for a chimney cleaning.

Our technician from Chimney Concepts was punctual, clean and extremely honest about what our chimney/fireplaces needed. He informed us of missing insulation and told us we could easily take care of the matter ourselves for less. He did not try to con us, in any way, regarding the condition of our chimneys or flue liners. In the past, other chimney sweep service providers we have used, would try to scare us into having more work done lest we have a chimney fire. Our Tech from Chimney Concepts explained that our chimney posed no risk. Thank goodness there are still honest companies out there!!!
Description of Work: Chimney inspected and 2 fire places cleaned. Recommendation for filling a void w/insulation.

Service was fine. The service was completed within the estimated time, and the technician did a great job cleaning up. When we booked the appointment we were told the price for cleaning and inspection, and they were clear that if the chimney did not need cleaning, they would only charge for inspection. In addition, we appreciated the Angie's list discount.
Description of Work: Chimney Concepts came to clean and inspect our chimney. We had just moved into the home, and our inspector had recommended cleaning before we used the fireplace. Nate was professional and punctual. He inspected the chimney and cleaned it. In addition, he noted that we should have some repairs to the chimney and offered to provide an estimate.
