I made an appointment for the other company to do the crown replacement and, as they were finishing the work they took a photo of the inside of my chimney and showed me that Chimneys R Us had not completely cleaned our chimney. I called Chimneys R Us to ask for a refund and the owner called me back and acted very insulted and angry that I wanted my money back. I emailed him the photo of the dirty chimney and said he could come back to clean it so I gave them another chance to get the job done right this time. This morning their representative came early again (our appointment was at 8 am) and said he would not take much time. He layed out a cover on the floor and turned on a very loud vacumn and exited out the front door. In a few minutes he returned, waved the vacumn hose into the fire place. He turned off the vacumn and took it out the front door. He returned and picked up an orange bucket that had a few cleaning tools in it that I never saw him use and walked out the front door without saying a word and not showing us the finished job of cleaning the chimney. My husband sat in the family room and never heard the representative up on the roof so he thought the representative had not started the job. I'm sure the representative was probably admonished by the owner for doing such a poor job but he could have had a better attitude when coming back out to finally get the job done. Instead he silently walked in and out of the house and had the worst attitude I've ever seen of all the contractors and workmen that we've had to our home. I'd recommend not using this company since the owner was defensive when he was asked for a refund even though he could see the picture of a very dirty chimney after their representative was out the first time. If they wanted to re-assure me that the work had finally been done, they would have shown me a photo this time but their representative clearly didn't want to be sent on this job and was not going to be very customer service oriented so we're unsure if the job was finally done at all.

Steve showed up earlier than expected on the day of the inspection. The home is an older home, but has had 2 seperate additions done already. He spent 6.5 hours going over everything in details. It was great to be there during the inspection, as he showed us what he meant by several of the repairs needed, so that we understood what we were looking at. He provided a very detailed report that was 50 pages, complete with pictures of each of the issues he had identified, as well as which items he felt needed more specialized inspections - in our case, drain lines and chimney/fireplace. Overall, we found that Steve was a little more expensive than some other inspectors, but we were happy with the time and level of detail he went into to make sure we had a good picture of potential problems in the property. We figured that we would rather spend a little more to make sure that there were no big surprises after purchasing the house. I would use Steve again if purchasing another house.

He showed up in a pizza parlor T shirt on and a small maglite to look in the chimney. He reported to the sellers agent that he didn't see any cracks, and thought that the chimney only needed minor repair. We had personally seen the cracks on the previous inspections, and given our concerns, called the 1st company back out, who documented with photos the severe damage, including the cracked flue liner and open mortar joints. The damage was great enough that the chimney was deemed and quot;not safe for useand quot; and will require several thousand dollars of repairs. If we had trusted the review provided by this company, we would have risked having a house fire as a result.

"My son helped me find a Chimney Sweep company in Huntington Beach.
I’m so glad he booked the service with Chimney Sweep Masters as everything was beyond excellent and the overallservice was amazing. Jonathan and Ido did a great job replacing the Chase Cover on my fireplace and installed two new caps as well as a third cap on my Masonary brick chimney.
A big plus was to find out that Jonathan is a licensed general contactor. He was able to provide me with information and pricing on some small and medium size projects I've been planning to get to around the house and he recommended a few other things for the future.
All in all great service highley recommended!!! I'm expecting them to do some additional work for me in the coming weeks in my kitchen and some drywall and paint work."

FAQs for chimney inspection projects in San Diego, CA
The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.

If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
On average, chimney repairs cost about $455. However, because of the vast range of potential repairs needed, the cost to repair a chimney ranges widely from $160 to $15,000, depending on the type and extent of repairs required.
