Poorly
Description of Work: We ordered, paid extra and waited for two weeks for a non standard color surround to be installed . The installers arrirved and began to install a chimney surround that was a different color than we ordered. The installation crew did not check that the color and told us they don't check because someone else loads them on their trucks. The company did not provide updates in a timely fashion regarding when the correct color surround would arrive. I had to call them. Considering the overall rating this company has received, I am more than a little disappointed in their performance considering how much they charge. I would not recommend this company.

Thank you for taking your time to review our company. The Member custom ordered a non-manufacturer stocked color (Medium Taupe Grey Blend) chimney surround and patiently waited nearly 3 weeks for it to be manufactured, delivered & installed. The Manufacturer agreed to drop ship direct to Superior Chimney’s warehouse and bypass our distributor to save time because this particular surround is fabricated upon order and they were already backed up. Upon its arrival, all paperwork and packages read correctly with the accurate item number ordered. Unfortunately the surround sides within the package were a Medium Grey Blend rather than the Medium Taupe Grey Blend. We fully understand the Members frustration in this circumstance as the packaging error by the manufacturer is directly reflected upon Superior Chimney in the clients eyes– this is the nature of business. However, there was absolutely zero lag/response in communication with the member. All communications are diligently recorded & monitored for consistent quality assurance. The manufacturer corrected the error in a very respectable time frame. Superior Chimney can confidently respond that we did everything possible to accommodate the Member in this situation with pride.

Great.
Description of Work: Called them for what we thought was a clogged exhaust pipe. Ended up being an unused pipe left over from an addition. Did a thorough eval of existing chimney and installed a new chimney cap. Suggested other services but no pressure to do them.

Description of Work: Very professional group. Very detailed. Unfortunately they were very pricey. The quoted over 4000.00 for masonery work and 3200.00 for a liner for the chimney. We went with another Angies List member who did the whole job for less than 2000.00. We were very surprised at the price.

Response from Superior Chimney Services Corporation
Thank you for taking the time to review the free estimate we provided for you. Superior Chimney quoted $2700 for a UL Listed stainless steel liner system not $3200, aluminum is much cheaper and doesn’t last (hence manufacturer’s 5 year warranty). Superior Chimney quoted $3500 for rebuild reconstruction stemming from down into the home structure, not $4000 for just masonry work. Materials alone are near $2000. Comparison is quite obviously apples to oranges (or lemons). What did you not get for $2000? Prices that seem too good to be true usually are too good to be true. Some companies provided low-quality work or use substandard materials, while others engaged in questionable business practices like tax dodging, working without insurance, or using illegal workers. Only compare apples to apples. Some companies knowingly deliver low quality at a low price. However, in sales calls these companies do not stress the low quality as much as the low price. Bargain hunters who will not take the time to educate themselves about what they are buying may well overpay by taking the lowest price. Always get the details in writing when comparing companies. Thoroughly check reputation. Before hiring a company for a project, compare reputations & overall company grades with the Better Business Bureau , Angie’s List & ensure they are CSIA Certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America. These institutions will give you insight about company & employee qualification, quality, schedule adherence, cleanup, communication, etc.

Description of Work: They did work for us in 2 parts. Initially added chimney liner and did some brick work when we were having water come in. When this failed to solve problem, said we needed rebuilding side of chimney, new bricks and tuck-pointing as well as some roof work (by another company) done. We did this also. Their work fell apart in less than 8 months. Workman came out and said it was a gutter problem that caused damage and also recommended another $2000 in work. When I spoke with them about work falling apart, they said they were not culpable because it was a gutter issue that they never warned us about. Wanted another $700 plus to fix the work they did that fell apart. Feels like a scam that they suggest more work to fix initial problem each time they come out and won't fix the work that fell apart.

Response from Superior Chimney Services Corporation
Shoulder repair=$1884 not $8000. We serviced many parts of his chimney. He 1st called 3-21-08 & scheduled an est 4 chimney repair noting “miserable experiences with other companies.” We’ve been 2 his home 8 x’s. 3 appts were 4 analysis of initial/persistent water leak. 3 appt fees ($343) were waived in appreciation of our new client & in consideration of his “miserable experiences” with the industry. Our effort was 2 earn a client 4 life! A human can only make the exposed parts of chimney water tight by repairing existing intrusion points. If problem persists, U hose/water test the chimney & surrounding home structure. A chimney is approx 35%+ concealed behind roofing/soffits/siding/etc. When leak persists, U replicate rain with hose water. If U don’t make the chimney 100% visually water tight B4 a test, there’s no chance of knowing if the leak U replicated from water testing is from a point beyond your visual scope. It isn’t the proper process of leak resolution procedure 2 water test with open intrusion points. 8-18-08 multiple appts later, his leak issue was pin pointed/resolved. The chimney shoulder was rebuilt/tuckpointed/& Chimney Saver repellant applied. He, until now, has expressed appreciation of our professionalism/etc. 4-27-09, he called & said our work fell apart & his chimney is leaking again. Again, we promptly set an appt. 4-30-09 our tech arrived in the rain. He saw a “water fall” of a gutter on the shoulder side of the chimney. The water overflowed from the ill pitched gutter & fell 10+ft on the shoulder. Our tech detailed all in writing & advised gutter B repaired & water diverters B explored. We always take pics of everything we inspect & do including before/after pics. Yes, we have pics of the “waterfall.” 5-06-09 I left a msg. 4 him 2 see if he had the gutter repaired. 7-02-09 he called back. I asked if the gutter was repaired yet-he said yes. Great, we’ve discounted the re-restoration to $723. He said a contractor he knows said our work should last longer than 1yr & he feels the shoulder that “fell apart” should be warranted. I detailed that the repair would have lasted longer than the warranty terms if it wasn’t subjected 2 a “waterfall” gutter in disrepair. He asked why our techs didn’t notice the gutter B4. I said we R a chimney Co. not a gutter Co. Gutters are not in the scope of a professional chimney inspection anywhere in the USA. Your gutter sags more when filled/overflowing as it did when our tech noticed it. We’ve had seven diff techs & 4 diff assistants out there who didn’t “notice” it. He believes the “sealer” we put on should have worked better/lasted & protected our work. I told him Chimney Saver is water repellant, not a sealer. It prevents rain absorption into brick/mortar. Sealers R detrimental 2 structural longevity of masonry & R ill advised. I advised he contact the Illinois Masonry Advisory Council 4 confirmation of his disbelief of my statements. He said “but you mentioned the flashing?” insinuating-why didn’t we mention the gutter. I said flashing is an integral part of a chimney. It’s mounted 2 the roof & chimney. Gutters R not integral/mounted 2 chimneys. I said, yes, our work does/will last longer than 1yr, but not in this circumstance. There is no negligence on our part. Otherwise, we would not hesitate 2 warranty this. I re-enforced our stance in the business of customer service - without customers, there is no “business” to be in! He said he disagrees, thinks we R responsible & doesn’t want 2 do business with us anymore-hung up. If when it’s raining U notice your 8 month old patio paver bricks R separating under an overflowing gutter-are U going 2 call the patio install co. & expect warranty? This is someone’s responsibility, but not the patio install co. If during a heavy rain U notice drywall water damage inside your new home addition-are U going 2 call the drywall co. & expect warranty? This is someone’s responsibility, but not the drywall co. I called Saver Systems (Chimney Saver’s manufacturer) & sent 163 pics taken from 8 appts to their tech dept 4 review of warranty claim. They concur, there is no material/workmanship failure-denied claim. We’ve reviewed this situation from a customer service/ethical/financial/legal stand point. We stand behind our initial discount offer 2 re-restore the shoulder @ $723. Solely in good faith, we’ll extend employee discount (11%). $723-$79.53=$643.47 /*Note:Files available upon request (8 invoices/3 contracts/163 photos)

Description of Work: We called to set up an appointment to have an estimate performed on a problem we were having with one of our fireplaces. Every time we burned a fire, we smelled smoke in another part of the house. We had previous estimates performed, where the repairmen scratched their heads and could not understand what the problem might be. Or, where the suggestion to fix the problem was over $5000.00 Worse, other companies charged a fee just to provide an estimate! Superior was out within 24 hours, and they performed the estimate free of charge. They determined what was wrong within five minutes, and quite honestly told us that rather than rebuild our chimney higher (which they could have charged us an arm and a leg for) they suggested we try relocating the HVAC unit that it turned out was sucking the smoke into the house. Furthermore, they waterproofed our chimney masonry/cap on the spot, discounted us 15% (Angie's List coupon) and then swept two of our chimneys for free (normally a $200 value.) On top of it all, the workmen were so professional, so thorough and so nice. It was a real pleasure having them in our home.
