He is very good, but does not carry a cell phone. The only number he has is a LAN line. Communication is poor, due to lack of cell phone. I had to cancel an appointment, and did so the day before. I rescheduled...and called to let him know I would be a little late, but because he couldn't get the message he assumed I was a no show. When I called to reschedule, he refused and said he would get to us when he could. We were established clients. Quality of work is excellent, but ability to reach him during the day is impossible.
Evidently, this was the first wood furnace they'd encountered, because I had to direct operations.
The furnace was just over a year old, with different chimney connections than my old one, so we had a bit of a mess when we finally figured out how to do it. They had all the right equipment to clean up the mess quickly, and I was sufficiently satisfied to contract with them to clean it again this year.
Following a recommendation on Angie's list I called "The Chimney Man" over a month ago and got on his schedule. He arrived at the time promised and was very courteous and professional. He not only did the work, but thoroughly answered my questions about the operation of the gas pilot and gas log fireplace, made sure I could operate the damper on the wood fireplace, and responded to my questions about possibly converting to a fireplace insert at some point in the future.
After the rooftop inspection & sweeping, he explained that there was some rust on the metal covers that are at the top of the chimney. He said they were okay for now, but would probably need to be replaced in a year or two. He gave me an estimate of what that would cost, and I'll be having him back later this season to install two stainless steel "tops".
I was totally satisfied with the work done, with The Chimney Man as a professional who took pride in his work, and with the price.
