"Scheduled fireplace insert three times over 6 months. First time canceled due to emergency. Second time canceled same day because did not have the insert (so scheduled work twice without actually having insert)..Today, scheduled for after 2 PM work. No show. No call. No response. If they happen to come, will update review Currently, Flue Tech appears to be just a big joke. Would not trust them to clean my floor, much less fix something that could burn your home down."

"They make sure the area was clean, there were no dirt. when they clean chimney they made a walk link to make sure that the house wouldn't get dirty. The supervisor is very knowledgeable they explained to me what they are doing and very professional and did a good job. They made recommendation of different fireplace design if i wanted to do upgrade in the future.."

"Good work"

"Quickly came to our home during the holidays. "

"Saul was hands down the most professional and helpful craftsman that I’ve seen in a long time. I am ‘old school’ and am often disappointed with the so-called professionals that I’ve been having to hire to maintain my house & property. Saul inspected all chimneys of my home and then we had a REAL conversation about the what, why and the how. He explained everything about the problem and the solutions —- and without the ‘double-talk I often get from many other repair/maintenance contractors. Saul was straight-forward and, as it turned out, trustworthy. He and his workers cleaned and lined the furnace flue, repaired the chimney and replaced the chimney cap. They got the job done quickly and done well, and within my fair price budget. I do not often write Reviews, but I have no problem in highly recommending Saul of Chimney Safe of CT to address your home’s chimney needs. "

"Very nice and honest business to work with. Courteous, hardworking and efficient. I would recommend them to others! They repaired my chimney cap and replaced the flue cap with a squirrel proof cap. Also cleaned both flues and inside of wood stove from squirrel debris."

"Had them paint 3/ rooms in duplex . Also 2/ custom closets done. Repair a front porch. I was satisfied with the work they did."

"I want to write a rebuttal to my first review. I wanted to delete it, but I don't know how. I'll say that my first review was written at the request of Kayan LLC. Now that I'm having problems after work done by Kayan LLC, I'm writing my own review of this work. My problems after the work are the same as in the review by Richard S. Everything is described absolutely accurately. We even had the work done in the same months. I can say one thing: If you want to have problems, contact Kayan LLC for help. You won't have to wait long. Here's a photo confirming my words. I invite everyone to visit my home and see the aftermath of this work."

"From the first meeting with Ilir Iljazi, I felt at ease. I had multiple issues from trees that damaged a stone wall, stone steps and stone chimney. Punctual, polite, and listens to all of my concerns. Their crew were hard-working, and kept everything neat and organized, and when finished they tidied up the areas and removed all the depris. Every detail was addressed and they worked with the insurance company so their work was paid for in full. Lucky to have found such a wonderful company."

"At the beginning it seemed that Chimney USA would have the expertise to complete the work well. There were some waiting on parts, that wasn’t a big problem at the time because I wanted it done right. The estimate listed that they would remove the front stone work to be able to get to the steel box fire box for removal and install new steel firebox, then replace all the stone work. Neither one of these parts was done. The 4 metal vents weren’t removed and replaced, the ash door was not installed. There seemed to be a problem figuring out how to get the steel firebox manufactured and to have it installed. The steel firebox was needed so that the side heating vents in the fireplace would work to bring heat into the room. As time went on, there was no resolution to get the firebox and install it. Very frustrating. I finally made the decision to just build the firebox using firebrick. This was a mistake now because there is no exchange of heat for the room vents now. We agreed to have grey firebrick and they installed a grey “cement” (not a fire brick and wouldn’t stand up for the heat of a fire) brick and the installation wasn’t complete to seal off the firebox. The masons didn’t seem to know what they were doing. This would mean that smoke would fill the room. I texted, sent photos, and sent a video of the issues and Chimney USA decided to send their masons back out the next day to fix this problem. This time they didn’t have the grey firebrick, but only red firebrick. They removed the grey “concrete” bricks and installed the red firebricks. None of the workers spoke English which made communication difficult. They had to use a translation app on their phone to communicate with each other. The masons didn’t understand that the firebox had to be completely sealed off so smoke wouldn’t enter the room. Finally, that firebox was complete, but not what I was expecting. The ash door was never found to fit my opening and never installed. The rock face removal and steel firebox was never completed. Those costs were far more expensive than just building the brick firebox. Their cost for the custom stone removal and install of the face of my fireplace was estimated at $3,200 and the steel firebox with damper was estimated at $2,135. Total of $5,335. This was taken off Angi on what it should have cost just to do what they did which was to remove the steel firebox and build a brick firebox. “How Much Does Firebox Repair or Replacement Cost? [2024 Data] Normal range: $160 - $750 Firebox repair or replacement costs $455 on average, but it can cost between $160 and $750, depending on the project's scope and details.” Based on this I’m being charge almost $5,000 for work not complete. This should have been adjusted based on the work complete and the estimate scaled down to represent the job completed. They want me to pay the whole original estimate. I contacted Chimney USA to say that the bill needed to be updated with a lessor amount based on the final work, but they didn’t respond, except to keep sending me the same estimate bill to be paid in full."
