Most of all, he explained it all to me in layman terms and he was very patient with my questions.
His scoping of the chimney was very impressive and he showed me where there were cracks or problems and then he fixed them. He was very clean with the service and left no dust, grit, or bad smells when he was done.
There aren't many people in the service trades that have his work ethic and follow through based on educated skill.
Kirk is not just your ordinary chimney sweep.
I would recommend Kirk to everyone.
The problem of the odor, however, persists. I got online later that week and discovered that the problem we were having has to do with cool air meeting warm air in the chimney, and the smell being pushed back into our living room. I covered up the fireplace with some clear plastic since we won't be using it again for a few months. We can still smell it on some days.
It would have been nice if a chimney sweep would have the knowledge of why the fireplace would draw well with a fire, but smell very bad with no fire. We live in and area that was getting very hot during the day and cooling sharply at night -- which seems to be the source of the problem.
The floor and fireplace were left in a clean condition.
Then a bill was presented which included comments on the condition of the fireplace and the flue.
Inexperienced and un-organanized.
