Chimney Sweeps of America LTD

I asked the new owner (Tim Smith has sold the business to one of his former employees) to check the chimney cap installed by their business several years ago, due to a bird in the flue recently and, while here, to clean my dryer vent. The new owner and a trainee arrived to perform the requested services. The owner made no effort to get on the roof to check the cap; he said he could tell ("190% certain") from closing the cap from the fireplace opening that it was sealing propertly. Sounds like nonsense to me. He and his trainee then moved to cleaning the dryer vent. Here a total of less than 1 hour and essentially only cleaned the dryer vent, at a cost of $139. Pretty pricey vent cleaning. This was a reasonably priced, reputable business when owned by Tim Smith. I will not hire again.

No problems and the process was completed in about 25 minutes.

Went perfectly. Skilled and knowledgeable.

Great. Services were performed in timely manner.

Imagine our dismay when the huge stone fireplace in our newly purchased home leaked like a sieve the first time it rained! I contacted Chimney Sweeps of America to get a plan of action for ending the leaking around the chimney. We were able to get on their schedule quickly. On the service date, they were very thorough and contientous even when we had several other contractors at our house for repairs at the same time. I also appreciated the care they took with our newly installed metal roof making sure it didn't get damaged. It's so nice not having buckets and tarps throughout the living and dining room now!

I am getting my basement finished and I had a leak that I could not figure out. I had multiple other companies come out with no success. I called Chimney Sweeps of America based on the Angie's List reviews and within days, Mike was able to come out and give me a free estimate. Initially he was convinced it was an issue with my grading around the foundation and I agreed. He proposed putting an adhesive on the brick to stop the seeping. His price was reasonable so we moved forward. He changes his schedule and came out the next day. The following weekend we had a huge storm and the leak was still there. I called Mike frantically and he agreed to come back out. We worked through some options and did some testing and Mike came to the conclusion that there was an issue with a leak from the top of the chimney. We discussed some options and the quote was very reasonable for the scope of work that he proposed. I needed the work done asap so Mike worked extra hard to get his week done early so he could come out by the end of the week leading into Labor Day. When most people are taking off for the Holiday, Chimney Sweeps of America was at my house going above and beyond to help solve my problem. They worked diligently but didn't cut corners. Mike discussed the work he and his team performed and made sure I understood why the problem was occurring. They took off the chase cover, replaced and painted the trim boards, replaced the piping to my chimney cap, installed a storm collar and made sure everything was sealed up with a special caulking material. I lost a lot of sleep over this leak but I feel very relieved to have found such an honest and hard working team to work with. Trust this company, they will go the extra mile to make sure they help. Bottom Line, if you have a leak in the Indianapolis area, call Chimney Sweeps of America LTD.

Tim came in below other estimates I received for this work and it was apparent that he was very knowledgeable about the work I was needing so I felt confident hiring him.  He was able to get me scheduled within about 10 days.  His crew showed up on time (weather permitting) and completed the job on schedule.  As far as going above and beyond, Tim was willing to paint the chase for me after installation, which another company would not do.  That may seem like a small thing, but I knew it would be a headache to get someone else up there just to paint the chase, so that was a definite plus.  In addition, while they were up on the roof, they also noticed an ugly pipe which needed to be painted and did that for no charge!   All in all, very satisfied!

Said the Chimney was clean and did not require a cleaning. (we use only the "Duraflame" type logs, and only about 10 times a year). Also had a Dryer vent cleaning that was well past due. Service was great, N/C for the chimney, and the dryer is running much better now. Very happy with their service and would use them again!

Tim Smith provided an accurate quote with options to replace the tile flue with a stainless steel liner.  When removing the old flue, it was determined the crown should be replaced as well, which was not added to the cost.  Tim also took the time to build up the chimney 4 rows just to meet current code even though it wasn't required.  His staff was profession and considerate of my schedule since the job took multiple days.  I would highly recommend Chimney Sweeps of America and I will use them for all my chimney sweep needs in the future.

It was great. Quick service.  Quality work.  Fair price.

It went very well, they cleaned up the area when they finished and fired up the stove to make sure it was venting properly. They also went over different things about the care of the insert and answered our questions.

We are very pleased with the work that was done and would hire Chimney Sweeps of America, LLC again.

The experience was good. He was very knowledgeable of what he was doing.

Mike Bogus from Chimney Sweeps of America arrived within the scheduled window on the scheduled day.  All work was completed during his visit to our complete satisfaction.  Mike was extremely professional and took the additional time to walk through the repair/replacement once it was completed.  In addition Mike took the additional time to repair a dryer vent issue which had been addressed but not resolved at a previous visit.
We have used Chimney Sweeps of America for over 10 years and continue to be impressed with the quality of their work, the fair pricing of their work, and the professionalism and expertise with which they accomplish their projects/jobs.  We will continue to use Chimney Sweeps of America as our needs dictate and have and will continue to refer them to prospective clients.
