We understand that repairs to the fireplace & chimney can be pricey, so if you would like to go over things that are of more importance we would be happy to help. For example the 3rd stage cleaning is very important. Thank you for the review and we hope to hear from you.

Description of Work: Cleaned and inspected fireplace/chimney. Made repairs. Feel good about the work performed. However, I had not expected the repairs, but glad they took care of it. Also helped me to know how to properly use the gas with wood. |I appreciate the care they took to not track any dirt in the house and keep the area free of debris. Very happy with the service call.

Description of Work: A-1 performed a safety inspection and determined the flue did not open completely, that the cement base of the chimney was cracked, that some mortar was missing between some bricks, and that the sealant around the flashing was cracked in some areas. |They removed the flue and added a LOCK-TOP fireplace damper; put CROWN Coat over the chimney crown, added a terpolymer sealant grout where mortar was missing; applied CHIMNEYSAVER clear solution to the brick on the entire chimney, and sealed the flashing. Work done was good but a bit expensive in my opinion. I did not compare their prices with any other company. The price paid included the $109 prepaid special inspection fee as well as a $229.00 10% discount for being an Angie's list customer.

Description of Work: A-1 came out for a chimney sweep I purchased from an Angie's Deal. They showed up on time and told me what needed to be done in order to get my chimney in working order! They were able to fix it in about an hour and we've had fires almost every night since! Great value for great work! Thanks guys!

We are sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the price. We just wanted to assure you that the prices were very reasonable. We did the fireplace cleaning, installed a stainless steel cap, seal & coated the crown, sealed the flashing & performed a mechanical cleaning for excessive creosote build up that could not be removed in a level 1 cleaning alone. Please let us know if there is something we can do or if you would like us to go over exactly what was done again.
