Blackburn’s did a thorough job of inspecting the chimney. Photos revealed the need for a chimney liner and associated repairs. The estimate was complete and reasonable (we got competing bids), and the work was scheduled promptly. Levi and his assistant arrived on time, laid down tarps and did the work carefully and efficiently, explaining everything along the way. Although planned for two days, they were able to complete in in one. Excellent serviceshow more

Our furnace had been vented through our chimney which ruined the chimney liner. Steve Guthrie took care of the venting issue a couple years ago, but we waited to have the chimney liner replaced because of the expense. Steve did an excellent job the first time so we went straight to him to replace the liner. Besides doing excellent work, he is honest and very dependable. I should mention that given the dirty nature of chimney cleaning and repair, Steve leaves your home and outside chimney area spotlessshow more

I CALLED THOMPSON TO GET AN ESTIMATE, WAS TOLD THAT CHIMNEY LINERS WERE STANDARD WORK, AND WAS QUOTED AN ESTIMATE OVER THE PHONE. AFTER RECEIVING TWO OTHER ESTIMATES (THEY CAME TO THE HOUSE TO LOOK AT THE WORK), WE DECIDED TO GO WITH ANOTHER COMPANY, BUT THEY DID NOT RETURN OUR CALLS TO SET UP A START DATE. WE CALLED THOMPSON AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY. THEY ARRIVED AT THE SCHEDULED TIME AND COMPLETED THE WORK IN THE ESTIMATED TIME FRAME. WE WERE ABLE TO USE A COUPON FROM THE ANGIE'S LIST MAGAZINE THAT HAD JUST ARRIVED, SAVING 10%show more

After discovering missing masonry during a chimney sweep, I received three estimates on repair. Two for a steel liner and one for a masonry fix. I chose the steel liner and DM Thompson Co. was the lower estimate of the two. Based on their Angie's List reports, I chose them. They showed up right on time and did a fine job on installation and clean up. The chimney works well and I am very satisfied with their workshow more

They did a great job and were always responsive with questions, etc. Also, their price was fair. They were one of 3 quotes I got, and they were the lowest (although not by much). When they did the job, they ran into complications and spent a lot more time than expected, but they honored the quote and didn't charge me more. I would definitely recommend them for any type of chimney repairshow more

Did full inspection; chimney liner too small and in process of checking, found the liner wasn’t even secured. Crew from Kicking Ash did superb job of evaluation, diagnosing problem, explaining everything clearly and providing detailed information on solution. They were polite, friendly, professional and competent. They replaced the chimney liner, fixed damper, insulated as needed and secured new liner and completed repairs on chimney on roof. Very complete and each step explained. While I really appreciated their competence and expertise, what was even more important to me was their honesty, commitment to quality work, high standards and comprehensiveness of services. This was the best service I have ever had through an Angie’s List service, I would strongly support their service and urge working with themshow more

During the cleaning and repainting of the wood insert black paint was painted where it should not be and gold paint was painted on stove front where it should not be. Minor but not professional none the less. Chimney sweep stated that chimneys clay flue tiles had cracks and needed a new flue liner. I got a quote from him. Later spoke with the owner and the chimney sweep receiving a slightly better deal on a new flue liner install. For the flue liner install the Installers arrived a little late due to traffic. Spent all day trying to install and having issues. They worked from the roof and I was/am concerned that there may be damage from the time and effort they put in to the install while on the roof. Finally they knocked out bricks on the exterior so they could get the flue insert around the smoke shelf and told me the flue was now in correctly. When replacing the bricks, which were knocked out, there was too much masonry and not enough brick making the visual effect non aesthetic. I spoke with owner and he had the same individual come back and redo the job a week later. I was still not impressed but I accepted the work which was completed as I did not want any more damage to the masonry. They did put a nice cap on the chimney top. I recently tried to use the wood burner and believe there to be an issue with the install. Twice I have started a fire within the stove and twice I have had a room full of smoke before the fire and smoke begin to exit the flue. (Yes, I opened the flue vent cover.) I believe the flue is crimped and when warmer weather arrives will have them back to take a look at their work and be sure that I am getting the proper draft from the flue. Smoke before heat is indicative of an issue with the new flue insert installationshow more

We are in the process of selling our home and after the buyers had the home inspection performed, we were made aware there was a large crack in our chimney liner. I called a local masonry company and Whempy's for estimates. Whempy's came on the date and time they promised and wrote up a work order. The representative sent the work order to the home office the next morning. Approximately 3 business days later, we received a written estimate from Whempy's to replace the liner for $2,100. This quote was $1,400 less than the one from masonry company. I immediately printed the estimate, signed it and mailed it, along with a check covering the 50% deposit to the home office. Approximately 4 business days later, I was contacted to schedule the work. We scheduled the work for the morning of 9/26. Bobby showed up on time and was finished in less than 5 hours. He was clean and professional. We are very satisfied with Whempy'sshow more

They cleaned the chimney and they put something on the top so birds would not fall in. They also recommended some other service. My interaction with them was very good and they did not pressure me that I needed a chimney liner like other companies did. The work was fine and there was a dead bird and he took it out. He also took pictures of the mesh he put at the top so I knew he did the workshow more
