Awesome job! I had hired a different company (Shamrock) because they were cheap, but the wanted to upsell a bunch of stuff not even needed. A-Tec didn’t do that at all! They were respectful, professional, and did exactly as was asked! Will definitely use them again! Just goes to show you get what you pay for! I’m glad I found them!

The A-Tec crew were great from start to finish. My chimney was severely compromised due to some vegetation growing out of it and these guys went above and beyond rebuilding and making it right again. Then finishing with a cap. I was very impressed.

Contracted them to rebuild both our chimneys and put in liners for the chimney. They showed up on time for the estimate and to do the job as well, they we’re very easy to work with and explained each step of the process and even built a decorative corbel top that looks spectacular which I was not expecting. Would recommend

The chimney build was improperly completed, leading to ceiling and wall water damage. A tech tech came out to investigate twice. One tech dropped a large HVAC vent which damaged our wall and floor. He informed us that the roofing installed by the masons was installed incorrectly because “they are masons, not roofers.” The roof had to be reopened and reinstalled around the chimney. The owner did not want to put damages through insurance and told the tech had to fix it himself. I told him it needed to be fixed professionally. I had to reach out to the owner after a week. He told me that he wouldn’t be repairing anything. After explaining the damage was result of incorrect installation, he asked me to send him pictures. Days later I realized that the owner had blocked my number. I called from another phone and the owner said he wasn’t going to make any repairs. He said if I had any other issues from the install and wanted to be “a nit-picking customer”, I was now “on my own”.
Response from A-Tec Chimney Sweep
"This is a bit inaccurate, we rebuilt your chimney a year ago from the roofline up. You called us a year later stating that you saw an pencil eraser sized water stain in the ceiling after a heavy rain. We immediately sent out a crew to take a look and they identified it was coming from up on the roof not the chimney and to find the source we would need to pull all shingles along that side of the roof well beyond the chimney. this leak was coming from the roof well beyond the scope of work we did last year but agreed never the less to take care of that issue for you at absolutely no charge to resolve the leak and spent an entire day pulling up shingles along the peak of the roof and replacing them at no charge or complaint on our part. After the work was done you asked if we would also be painting the pencil eraser sized water stain spot on the ceiling and we let you know that we would not cover painting as it was not ecen the chimney that was leaking. (Water was coming in from up on the peak of the roof near the ridge caps) At which point you tried to extort us in exchange for leaving a bad reviews if we did not either paint the spot for you or give you $500 We go above and beyond for our customers and try to keep everyone happy and resolve all issues as fast as possible but we do have a limit on getting taken advantage of."

I met James first, he came over and did a full assessment of the situation. He was very informative, polite, professional and caring, overall great customer service. He came back on the day of the appointment with Matt. They were both on time and did a beautiful job with the Chimney. Both James and Matt, were very informative and gave great customer service. I can't over emphasize how great of a job they did. We're extremely happy with job and we would definitely hire them again for another job. Thank you Guys ! Job done today 11/10/2022

I can’t overemphasize how impressed I am with service and how knowledgeable James and Brandon are. We have known about chimney leak for awhile but are selling home so we needed to resolve ASAP. A Tech quoted a fair price to re-flash and although there was substantial more work that had to be done; they stood by original quote! I highly recommend them for anyone who is in need of any chimney service

A-Tec was readily schedulable and arrived in the early part of their 3 hour window, calling ahead when they 40 minutes out. The job was completed efficiently. The lead sweep, Steve, provided some valuable commentary as they went through the job. The other sweep, whose name I did not catch, did most of the on-roof work and also re-caulked our chimney's flashing. Overall I was very pleased with the entire experience. I would recommend and plan to have them back in the future.

I called to schedule and informed the lady that I spoke to of the manufacturer of our insert. She was prompt and helpful and scheduled a service visit for the next week. When the technicians arrived, they were unfamiliar with our insert. They spent time trying to figure it out, partially removed it from the hearth, broke several bolts retaining the catalytic unit and then gave up and told us "we can't help you.

"We don't have any ladies who work here nor do we work way out in Cohasset. Please make sure you are reviewing the proper company. Thanks"

It went well. Brendan was very good and professional. The price was pretty steep. I knew what it could cost in advance but one of the chimneys barely needed cleaning so I was hoping for a break. Since this was a property we just bought it was reassuring to have the service. Not sure if I would hire them again at that steep price. Way more than other quotes but the reviews sold us gong with A-Tec

Staff was very responsive to phone calls and luckily had a cancellation so I got a same day appointment. Technicians were very thorough, took pictures of everything inspected and reviewed with me. Work needed to be done and I did not feel at all pressured to commit. They cleaned up everything and showed me before and after pictures. Would absolutely recommend this company in the future and plan to continue to use for maintenance!!

A-Tec was timely, very good work, very fair price. They were professional and knew what they were doing. Reviewed 3 providers and the prices were all over the lot. I was looking for a repair and not a rebuild. He actually did more work than the estimate indicated, did not charge extra.

Our last chimney cap was sloppily installed and blew off in a nor'easter. A-TEC did a nice job for a fair price, and we're having them back to do some repointing work that wasn't evident from a ground level inspection.

James and his crew did an excellent on rebuilding the chimney (roof-line up), and installing a new liner/cap. The team arrived on time and did exactly what was quoted for the agreed on price. Plus, they did the work on the hottest day of the year, it was 98 on the ground, can't imagine what it was on the roof.

The technicians arrived on time, did a quick inspection, showed me pictures of the chimney and damper and then described what should be done. I opted for a chimney cleaning, chemical cleaning and then replacement of the damper. The team was very knowledgeable and respected my house by sealing off the fireplace during cleaning and getting any loose dust with a shop-vac. Was very pleased with the work, would recommend them to others and I would use them again.

Did not receive discount on chimney cap as advertised. The masonry joints were not completely cleaned of loose mortar and repaired. The sealant was put on over bricks and joints that were not thoroughly cleaned of moss. Crown sealer in center of chimney did not cure and washed away -
