He did a review of the chimney before sweeping it. He let me know there were problems inside the chimney and outside above. The price he quoted me was too high so I didn?t go forward. The communication wasn?t great via email, but communication was good in person.

They missed the initial appt. and did not call us. We had to call to ask why not a phone call to reschedule. The tech. Did not clean the fireplace. He inspected it for damage only. The tech was very knowledgeable. His follow-up was timely and good. I would work with them if they improved their responsiveness and punctuality
Description of Work: We wanted the chimney cleaned. When the technician realized that the fireplace was gas, he said that they can't clean a gas fireplace and recommended a refund.

They have been very professional so far. They told me exactly what they would be doing. It took a little while to schedule them out because of the weather, but that has not been an issue. I have asked them to do some additional masonry so there will be an additional fee for that.

I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal, but did not use this company for the Big Deal service that I bought. Instead I had them do the front repair work. The work they did was good and complete, but I did not use them for the chimney work because I thought their quote was too high.

They initially came out to inspect the chimney and concluded that it did not need to be swept. While they did not sweep the chimney, they quoted us on other projects involving the chimney that we were not interested in. Everything else was good in terms of them being professional and on time.

Masonry Outfitters called me and made an appointment to come out to see how big the job was and what materials were needed. They came out on May 6th and the worker went beyond just estimating the job. Because it was a small job he went ahead and cemented up the hole there and then. It looks good. I would use them again.

They came out and gave me an estimate and by the time we got everything organized it was too late in the year. I wanted to wait until it got a little bit warmer to do the work, but I haven’t heard back from them. I wanted it done last year, but scheduling was so difficult. When I purchased the Big Deal I emailed them and it took so long just to hear back from them. They said they hadn’t checked their email. I would suggest them to check their emails every day because it draws the concern of how reliable and responsive they are. I am inquiring with Angie’s List for a refund. I plan to reach out to another service provider to have the work done.

It took several contacts to get an appointment set. Responsiveness was very slow. They did fine with the work and inspection. It was noted that a new cover was needed for the top of the chimney. This was something that I was aware of and so was interested in what the quote would be to get that done. I feel like the price quoted for what should be a fairly simple straightforward replacement job, and a part that is not very expensive was way above what I expected or would ever pay. It felt like a "I don't want to do this price to me."

They called to confirm the date of work and, again, to tell me they were on the way here. The work was performed, however one brick (specifically mentioned at time of estimate) was not replaced. I mentioned that to their staff member, who then secured the brick to the corner of the masonry. Job was then completed.
Description of Work: This was the Angie's List deal for 3 hours of Masonry Work for $99. They came out to look at the job and prepared an estimate. I was surprised to learn there was a "trip charge" for them to come out to do the work, added to the $99. That was not mentioned in the advertisement, thus for any work at all to be done, the bill would start with the customer furnishing an extra check. I received an email of the estimate with photos and accepted the work.

They were alright. I feel like they could have just told me that my chimney was clean and didn't need to be cleaned, instead of taking my money. They did a good job, but there is no way for me to tell unless I climb up my chimney. The interaction with them was fine, it was professional.
Description of Work: I had purchased a big deal for Masonry Outfitters. The big deal was for $99 Dollars, and it was for a chimney sweep, and $100 credit towards masonry repair. They cleaned my chimney.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to submit some feedback regarding your experience with us here at Chimney & Masonry Outfitters. I do want to first apologize that it did not seem as though you were able to well utilize your deal with us - for future reference, by all means, if the chimney is not in need of a clean/sweep, it's completely understandable and appropriate for you to request a refund as the deal was not utilized. I am sorry this was not made clear to you at the time of the sweep. However, I did notice that in the deal there was a $100 Masonry Credit - we'd be happy to honor this as well if you had any work which needed to be done, or that may have been proposed to you at the time of the sweep and inspection. We do appreciate your feedback, and again we look forward to any opportunity to serve you in the future! Kindly, The Outfitter Team

Their estimate was far higher than we expected so we procured another estimate which was much less and ultimately had the work completed quickly and satisfactorily by another provider.

I purchased the big deal from this company. All attempts to contact them and schedule an appointment have been to no avail. I have received no response when I emailed them through Angie's List or by phone where I have left multiple voicemail messages. I previously reported this to Angie's List more than a month ago and have heard nothing from them either. My question - who is running either business?

I do see that you are on our schedule, next week in fact, for your sweep and inspection, so thank you for your persistence!

They told us that the guy that came out a few years back used NON-FIREPLACE-SAFE materials! I was stunned. When they got up to clean the chimney, they said they couldn't clean it due to the condition. They wound up installing an entirely new chimney and fireplace insert. They did a great job, and we were pleased with the repairs. They cleaned up very well, and they were very trustworthy.
