Nice guys, good work, but they didn't protect my windows, and some pitting of the glass resulted

Dave and his crew are top notch. They have cleaned our chimney on numerous occasions and have also done various repairs. Prices are very fair, workmanship is exceptional ... and they always take the time to clearly explain the process, technology and options to consider. We've been working with them for well over 10 years and I would not think of using any other company. Highly recommended.

I bought a propane fireplace for our family room. I needed chimney swept. The guys of Dave came over, swept the chimney, and went up on the roof to inspect the chimney. I also asked for a cleanout. They told me the clay inside the chimney had cracks and needed repair. The flashing around the chimney needed repair, and there was a lot of ash in the cleanout. They wanted $7800 for the work. The company where we bought propane insert told me inner clay walls of the chimney were obsolete because they would be installing stainless steel inserts. I cleaned out the chimney myself. It took 45 minutes and three 5 gallon buckets. I saved 1500.00. The roof repair was done by a roofing company two weeks prior. Beware of this company. I will never call them again.

Evan was very professional and kept us updated on the progress of the job. They cleaned up after each session and there was not a lot of noise or commotion while they worked. I will definitely recommend them to our friends/family.

Called for crumbling chimney and was given estimate by Juan for grind, repoint and waterproof damaged chimney and flashing along with brochures showing after pictures. First attempt at completing job was nothing like picture, chimney still crumbling and I reported to owner Dave. I requested refund but owner asked for 2nd chance. I advised for legal reason I would allow it. He came out with Juan, inspected work and assured me they would right the wrong. Juan and another worker came out and still my chimney looked nothing like they advertise. I even stood there after claiming they were done pointing out unrepaired cracks. When rinsing off my driveway Juan directed water toward car, backyard and pool instead of street as I asked. My driveway was a mess with mortar stains as well as mortar splatter on the 2 bottom rows of shingles, which I now need to paint. Owner never came out to reinspect work after clearly being taken advantage of 1st time. Said he would send someone out to clean mess and that other worker said I was happy with work. Told him I gave him 2nd chance, did not want them on my property and signed work paper just to get them off my property, as Juan was very confrontational when owner did come to house. Roofing contractor who also inspected 1st round of work repaired flashing and Dave did refund that amount. Very sad and discouraging when contractors take advantage of people this way. Especially when you explain you are unemployed and really do not have money for repairs. UPDATE*** Absolutely horrible experience! Was given pictures of what my chimney would look like after work completed. Not even close. Tried to resolve through BBB. Gave 2nd chance to correct and ended up with damage to house and driveway. Still getting water in basement too. I do not have the time or energy to take them to small claims court and will keep posting reviews until Dave refunds me in full, so I may have my chimney properly repaired. Plenty of telltale pictures backing my claim.
Response from Dave's Chimney Service, LLC
"I?m sorry things didn?t turn out the way we hope to achieve. Reason your chimney didn?t look like the one shown in our brochure is because you wanted to do the repair work to your chimney which showed signs of cracks and loose mortars. You were given an estimate for the repair which included installing stainless steel chimney liner, grind/ repoint damage areas only, waterproof entire chimney, and flashing for a total of $3125. Chimney liner and flashing were completed on January 28, 2019. You were very happy with this work which you gave us a 5-star review on HomeAdvisor. Your comments were ?They were prompt, courteous and efficient.? Thank you! Grind/repoint and waterproof were done in the Spring. For your chimney to look like the picture we showed you, it would be a rebuild entire chimney, and the cost for that would be about $10K. This would take care of all the cracks, loose mortars, white paint spots on the chimney, and all the bricks will be in sync from top to bottom. As for the flashing job, I admitted and apologized it was done poorly. I had no problem refunding you for that work. As for the grind/repoint work, I could see my techs didn?t do a thorough job in filling in all the mortars or repaired all the cracks. Thank you for allowing us to go back and fix all of that. I sent 2 guys back and they spent all day grinding and repointing your 20-foot chimney from top to bottom. They sent me pictures of the chimney before they started the job, during work in progress, and after they finished the job. As for the mess on your driveway, I was told the guys tried to hose it down and cleaned it up for you but you didn?t want them to. They even washed your car for you. I kept my communication open all day long to make sure they were doing everything they were supposed to do and that you were happy and satisfied before they walked away. They told me you were so I didn?t think my visit to re-inspect was necessary. If I knew you were still disappointed and not happy with everything that was done, I would have come over immediately. You didn?t let me know until the next day. As a business owner, I tried to make things right with my customers. I don?t like walking away from a job when my customer is not happy with my service. You requested for a full refund because your chimney didn?t look anything like the picture on our brochure. You paid us to repair the damaged areas only and we did just that and more after all said and done. I believe my guys did a wonderful job and your chimney looks great! For that, I don?t think it?s fair to refund you the money. I?m sorry. Your comment about us taking advantage of you was offending to me. I run an honest, reliable, and professional service. I treat ALL my customers with the utmost sincerity, respect, and integrity. I understand the value of hardwork, making a respectable living, and providing & educating my customers about chimney cleaning and safety products. I don?t believe in cutting corners, taking advantage of people, or running a ?shoddy? business. It would be a disgrace to my soul, disservice to my community, and dishonor to my industry. Dave L.

We had a chimney cap fly off. We called Dave's and they were out 2 days later which I thought was great. They explained what had happened and suggested a better quality cap. We went with it and I feel confident they work was done well. Guys were very courteous and work was done in a timely manner. I would hire them again.
Response from Dave's Chimney Service, LLC
"Hi Dave. My name is Pisey. I'm sorry to hear that you felt our technicians were in a rush and that our price was high. We will address this with the techs. As for our cap price, you were only charged a standard cost, nothing extra. You also mentioned we cleaned your chimney previously. Our record shows we had only 1 visit to your home, and that was to inspect and install a cap on Feb. 14, 2019. There was no cleaning. If your record shows something different, please let us know. Thank you."

Horrible experience. I am considering filing a small claim as they were unwilling to mediate and I am still getting brick debris from the chimney when it rains as well as water in the basement.
