Good experience

We received a promotion in the mail for a $135 chimney cleaning, which is discounted $15 from the normal priced of $150. We called to schedule an appointment and unfortunately weren't able to schedule a cleaning until after Labor Day, which would be after the promotion period had ended. Fortunately for us, they stated that they would honor the promotional price and make a note on our account to reflect that. We received a phone call a few days before our appointment to confirm, and were told that the price was $150, to which we reminded them of the prior agreed upon price of $135. They said they would make a note, and that the service would be $135, as previously promised. The service was performed and we received a bill for $150. We called over to ask about the discrepancy, were told that we did not qualify for the promotional price and that "I don't know who told you this". $15 isn't much, but not honoring a previously agreed upon deal is bad business. We will not be using or recommending Chimney Corners to anyone. Stay away.

They did an excellent job. Although it is almost impossible to match old bricks, they came pretty close. They even replaced a couple of shingles that were in the same general area (but not a chimney problem). Our chimney looks great and even neighbors have complimented it!
The only recommendation to CC is that they need to do a better job of returning hone calls. It took forever to get an appointment date - mostly because many calls to them went unanswered or not followed up. Once we finally got a construction date, it was like clockwork.

It was great! He was early. He laid down cloths to keep my home clean. He was courteous, clean, and professional. He even promised to watch out for my cats. It was one of the best experiences I've had with a service provider.

Excellent! Was completely on-time (early, actually), was honest about what services needed to be performed, explained what he was doing and why he was doing it. Really nice throughout and very knowledgeable. Would not hesitate to recommend. And the best price based on the few other estimates I received.

Called Chimney Corners after reading reviews on Angie's List. The appointment was made within a week of the call. They actually arrived early. The tech was very careful bringing in the equipment and used tarps to make sure the floors were protected. They did a thorough job cleaning the chimney and furnace flue. They spent about an hour and a half at the house. They didn't try to up-sell on unneeded services, although they made recommendations for things that should be looked at next year. All in all, very professional service, and I will definitely use them again.

. I would never hesitate to recommend these folks.The gentleman was punctual, which I appreciate. He was also professional and didn't leave the house covered in soot. In fact, it ws cleaner when he left. Still, the most important thing to me was him alerting me to the danger of creosote build up. Not like a chimney fire would be a danger - it's double-walled, but still, the fact that it was promptly brought to my attention is why I'm going to continue to use these folks. I've got them coming out on 10/19 to address the creosote issue

They came right on time and cleaned the chimney thoroughly. Terry, the technician, showed me the damage to the chimney bricks, but did not think it was necessary to fix it at this time. He also pointed out a possible problem in the way the chimney liner had been installed when we purchased our wood-burning stove (from a third party) last year.

Chimney Corners have cleaned the flue for my fireplace and furnace since 2007, installed chimney caps as well as the above repairs. They are very reliable, come when they say they will and explain the work needed to be done and give estimates.

It went very well. I am in the middle of a large home renovation when they came, and they confirmed what my mason was saying and in the end saved me some money by telling me that what I wanted to do in terms of turning the fireplace from wood to gas wasnt going to solve my draft problems, but suggested some ways to solve it.

Office is very efficient and friendly. Sweep was very knowledgeable, provided a lot of useful infomation, spent a lot of time cleaning flues, pointed out and informed me about a couple of minor issues that in his view did not warrant repair at this time. Recommended replacing chimney cap (which seemed reasonable), pointed out crack in chimney which in his view probably didn't warrant repair at this time. However, we heard later that based on his photos others at company did believe chimney needed to be rebuilt from flashing up -- an expensive job.
Our experience with the cleaning/inspection was very good. But the repair recommendations were somewhat disappointing -- whose word do we accept, the sweep's on site, or the guys who were looking at the photos? Perhaps it's predictable that a $300 cleaning job should lead to a $3000 repair recommendation. We certainly won't pursue the repair without a couple of other opinions and quotes.

Response from Chimney Corners
"I'm sorry that you were disappointed by our recommendations. It is never our goal to push any repairs on a homeowner, but we will always be honest with our customers regarding what we find. Of course, it is always up to the homeowner to decide if the repair makes sense for them. As always, we keep all of our records on file. In the future, if you decide to consider moving forward with this project, we will have all of the information we need to give you an updated proposal."
