Thanks for the B review. The best way to gauge a price is to get other estimates. We welcome understand the high cost of maintaining a home and are usually one of the least expensive companies in this industry and if our estimate does turn out to be a little higher than someone else's, we can almost always match it! Dave Myers, owner

Thanks for the straight B review. I couldn't help but notice you marked a no in the hire again category. I would love to know where we fell short. The great majority of our clients give us A's and only through learning why some people don't, can we do what is necessary to improve. If you wouldn't mind, I would appreciate you sharing thoughts and feelings with me. If you feel so inclined, please give me a call, at your convenience.

Description of Work: American Professional Chimney cleaned the chimney and inspected. They found cracks in the exterior masonry and also a need to parge (coat) the inside of the smoke chamber and resurface the crown at the top, outside. I could see the cracks and the need for coating myself, so I had them do the work. They took my observations and questions into account and gave me a fair estimate. It took a couple of visits (various jobs, bad weather, cold etc.), but they were very responsive and prompt in finishing as quickly as possible. The teams were Rudy/Alonso, Howard/Pedro, and Oscar--all very good and helpful. I would definitely use them again.

Description of Work: They replaced a cracked chimney liner and cap, as well as re-pointing the firebox. Excellent work. On time and excellent service. Very neat. Even came back to complete one small overlooked item that they identified that I would not have noticed. Strongly recommend. Felt they gave a solid estimate with no unnecessary items.

Description of Work: American Professional Chimney and Masonry did an excellent job cleaning the fireplace and inspecting the chimney. They provided me with a report of future work and potential safety issues with using the fireplace prior to the completion of the work. I may use them in the future to address those issues. They were easy to work with, were very accommodating of my schedule, arrived on time and completed the work within the projected time for the project. Overall, they provided excellent customer service and I would definitely use them again.

Description of Work: The company did a chimney sweep and inspection of my fireplace. They did a good job with the sweep; however, after they did the inspection they left a rather pricey quote to fix what they found wrong. They recommended lining the fireplace and replacing the flute. However I don't use it enough to warrant spending almost $3300 to fix what they recommended.

Thanks for the leaving your B review and for your comments and feelings. If you'd like to discuss other options, there may be some way to save money on the repairs. Doing it off season and only addressing the most urgent issues or safety concerns are a couple of possibilities. Dave Myers, owner Dave Myers, owner
