Very professional and knowledgeable
Response from American Professional Chimney & Masonry
"I loved you very professional and knowledgeable comment for your review! Professional is the result of dedication to customer service and just being kind, impatient and thorough. Knowledgeable takes years of training and experience. I’m pretty sure we’re the most experienced folks in the business. We’ve been here since 1979 with the same owner still climbing up chimneys! I even go down commercial chimneys on occasion. It’s actually kinda fun :) Thanks for the great review! Dave Myers, owner"

Excellent! I hired to fix a problem with leakage on my carport. The work was time consuming and the techs were hard working and focused. I cannot thank them enough for quickly scheduling and completing my job. From where I stand it looks great!
Response from American Professional Chimney & Masonry
"Leaks like yours take a lot of time consuming and careful masonry. Water can find its way through the tiniest of spaces. It can even seep right through perfect brick & mortar, in which case a very thorough application of the best water repellent is indicated. (A blend of siloxanes/silanes) Thanks for method hard we worked! Dave Myers, owner"

I've used American Professional several times at various houses I've lived in or owned. They are an honest and professional company that does good work and stands behind it. I recently got them to give me an estimate on rebuilding the top portion of a chimney that needs brickwork. They inspected the chimney, told me it was safe to use, and gave me a very reasonable estimate for the chimney rebuild, saying that it can wait until spring if I wish. From my experience, they will do everything they can to satisfy the customer, whether it's a simple chimney cleaning or custom work. This is the best chimney company in the DC area by far.

We contacted at least half a dozen companies prior and they either 1) did not show up or 2) never sent quote or 3) came up with ridiculous amount of work and 4) overpriced. Welcome to this team. Courteous, professional, gave us for the first time a real understanding of the different options and we were able to understand what was best for us. They even had brochures to see the options in finer detail. Between the first appointment and the job done, we were done in no time. Something that took us over a year to begin with others! Payment options was also perfect for us. Tip: Let them know what use you want for the chimney (decorative, to heat the home? Etc.). Anything else you want to do to that chimney aesthetics wise? They do it all. Thank you Stefan and team for being amazing!

I have used American Professional Chimney and Masonry on three different occasions and I am very happy with the work and the service. They are my "go to". I had the upper 40% of my chimney rebuilt, I had chimney liners installed, and I recently had a couple of smart solutions done to prevent smoke from going up and out of one flue, and down the one right next to it. I'm confident that this problem has been eliminated in advance of the upcoming fall/winter wood burning season. I will continue to use APCM for maintenance.

Second year owning a fireplace and I wish I'd gone with these guys again. The rates went up across the board in the area and I went with a group that was 30 dollars cheaper this year. Where American Professional did an excellent job explaining and cleaning, this other group wanted $1900 to replace hairline cracks and ultimately left the fireplace dusty and a mess. Next year I'll definitely spend a little more to get it cleaned and inspected by American Professional again, because they just did a much better job.

We had work done from them several years ago and we noticed water damage in our fireplace. They came out and honored the warranty with no issues or gotchas. They made it right and fixed all the issues including repairing the water damaged fireplace insert. Stefan was a pleasure to work with and explained everything. I would recommend American Professional Chimney without reservation for chimney or gas fireplace work.

We had American Professional Chimney and Masonry perform repairs to the brickwork of our chimney and flue, inside and and out. We met with 3 chimney companies and selected APCM on the strength of their detailed analysis of our needs and full explanation of their proposed service. Their representative was very professional and offered no gimmicky "one day only" or "manager special" price quotes. He was knowledgeable on all aspects of chimney repair and walked us through the process and options of installing a gas fireplace. We also appreciated that APCM would do all necessary electrical, gas, and masonry work for a complete installation. All of their staff was friendly, professional, punctual and efficient. We were pleased with all aspects of our experience with APCM, from first visit to final installation.

American Professional Chimney installed a gas fireplace that is both beautiful (looks like a real wood fireplace) and warm. They installed a gasline that was done a very professional way, burying the line underground. Stephen and his team did an impeccable job, clearly explaining the pros and cons of the many options. Super happy with the service.

Charged $99 for initial estimate in December. Told a part was needed, and we agreed to order it. A month later second appointment was cancelled because they said they obtained the wrong part. Then a third appointment was cancelled because of "inclement" weather -- slight rain and snow. Attempts to connect subsequent ignored. Net result: out nearly $100 bucks! And no fireplace this winter. Insufficient explanations. No apologies. Subsequent to review, American Professional Chimney manager contacted us and personally took charge of ordering and installing the part — indeed with extraordinary evening effort. The company also adjusted its charges to compensate us for our trouble. Management's effort to rectify our situation has restored our confidence in this enterprise.

The project went really well! The team that came out for the estimate and inspection were very prompt and friendly. They walked us through the issues that needed resolving and even uncovered an issue with the roof and gutters. The team that came out to do the chimney repairs were very communicative and efficient in their work. The chimney looks great. I would definitely hire this company again.
