I was disappointed because I paid for the estimate with , Chimney Tek and I had at least two other companies who did the exact same inspection for free. Chimney Tek was caring, and did explain things well though.
Description of Work: I had them come out to do a chimney inspection. I used a Big Deal coupon with them.

I apologize you had a bad experience. However, you never contacted me prior to purchasing the big deal for cleaning and inspection. When we came out to perform the cleaning and inspection, you indicated you did not want the chimney cleaned but just wanted an estimate. If you would like a refund please contact Angie;s List for a refund. Again, I apologize you had a bad experience.

Having utilized Chimney Tek for previous repairs, with excellent results, they were my first choice. Vince personally responded to my needs and efficiently performed the repairs at no cost. Hows that for customer service!

Chimney sweep took only a few minutes as well as inspection. Chimney Tek suggested that the cap be replaced with galvanized steel. Chimney Tek provided a timely estimate for the replacement and labor. I was a little astonished at the price-over $1300. We chose not to replace as we were getting ready to move.
Description of Work: Chimney was swept and inspected. Chimney tek indicated a repair needed to be done in the future and provided a price quote for the repair.

The person then proceeded to discuss the need to change items on the furnace and hot water hearter for over $2100. When asked about the chimney was told that the possibility of carbon monoxide poison prevented any other discussion on the fireplace. I declined to purchase the extra package. I decided that this was a classic bait and switch. I expected a cleaning and an explantion of what needed to be done.
Description of Work: The company was to perform an inspection and cleaning. Inspection consisted of shining a flashlight into the fireplace. Nothing else was done.

I apologize that you were not pleased with our service. We did perform the inspection on your fireplace, and also inspected the furnace flue. Cleanings were not needed due to the extensive repairs that were needed by both flues in order to bring them up to current building codes. The inspection which is done with a powerful flashlight revealed several dangerous situations, and estimate was given to do the repairs. Again I apologize that you were not satisfied with our company, and I would be more than happy to give you a refund.

Highly recommended! Professional, prompt, efficient, and fast. We've had several different chimney sweep company's over the years and most have been good. I have to say these were the best. They called twice to confirm. Called to let us know they were on the way. Once here they were super efficient and professional. Took great care to keep the area around the fireplace (we have an insert) clean. Couldn't even tell they'd been here afterward. And the inside of the fireplace was clean enough to eat off :-). They inspected all in and out parts of chimney and took photos of areas of concern like cracks in the cap and plant growth on bricks. Very thorough. And the price was a bargain compared to others. Would definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: Hired to perform periodic fireplace chimney inspection and cleaning. Note: we have an insert and there was no extra charge.

Vince was amazing! I have never worked with someone so responsive via calls, emails as well as text. I needed an estimate as soon as possible and he actually stopped by the same day within just a couple of hours!!! I needed to get an inspection done and asked him if there is any possibility to get the work started as soon as possible and he squeezed my job in to start the next day. Since I had couple of things done that couldn't be done at the same day, he finished it all within 3 days. He was going to do it within 2 days, but bad weather caused a one day delay because they could not access the roof with the high wind gust. They did a great job in an amazing time and all the time he was always just a call or text away if I had any questions since I was not able to be at the property myself. Overall I was amazed and super delighted to have found someone like Vince. It does not happen often that you can find someone that you can trust to take care of things and keep you informed every step of the way. He is AMAZING!!!
Description of Work: They did lining of the chimney as well as rebuilding the top part or the chimney that was about to fall apart.

Description of Work: After the initial inspection of the chimney Vince explained that the Terracotta lining in our chimney had cracks and openings that could allow carbon monoxide enter the house. He gave me an estimate to reline the chimney and put a cap on top as well.

Not much to tell. They spent two hours here with 2 guys and were very polite. They cleaned and vacuumed, inspected the chimney and cleaned up after themselves. Their boss followed up later with a call inquiring about whether we wanted further work done and we said not at this time.

Excellent service. Did not charge me to install a new bolt in my chimney cap, which had shaken free during a storm. They showed up on time and preformed the services without any problems. I will definitely use them in the future.
Description of Work: I purchased the chimney cleaning on Angie's List and I was impressed. They performed the services requested and made sure they kept everything clean in the process. I also asked they check the cap of my chimney because it was making noises. Not only did they check it out, but they fixed it for free.

Chimney Tek got the job done well and quickly. There was no mess afterwards. We picked them because we needed a chimney cleaning and we waited for a Big Deal to come up. We have a high level of trust in Angie's List. So, we took advantage of it when the Big Deal came up.

The workers arrived on time and performed the work in a reasonable time. They were very tidy cleaning the chimney to the point we didn't need to clean up after their visit. They came back later as promised to perform the further work we contracted. There was some weather that kept them from finishing as planned but they completed the work as soon as the weather permitted. After the work was done Vince called us to arrange payment of the balance. He made sure to ask if we were satisfied with the work. I would have no hesitation recommending them to anyone.
Description of Work: We got the chimney swept from the Big Deal package. During the cleaning they inspected the chimney and identified some areas that needed to be repaired. On my request, they quoted a price to do the repairs.

The chimney sweeps were very polite and respectful, but unfortunately, they never made it to my house for the first appointment. They called during the last 15 minutes of the four hour window to say there was an emergency and couldn't come. Whenever this happens, I can't help buy feel resentful of the four hours I waited (taking off work, etc.) only to find out it was for nothing. Once they came they were great.

Very well. The crew was very professional, effective and focused on meeting the customer's needs. The owner of the company was part of the crew and not only supervised the work but also helped complete the work itself. He was very honest about the state of my fireplace and chimney and explained what I should look for over the next few years. I would hire the company again without hesitation.

The job was pretty clean; I'll give them an A. Their pricing was not cheap, cheap but was okay, I guess. The quality of work looked pretty good afterwards. Right after I got the bid they were pretty quick and called me immediately on the next day. They were very involved, very engaged. I didn't need to call them, they called me. It was probably the only company that actually called me out of the couple of deals that I bought. They called me the next day on a Saturday. There was very good communication between us and them. His vacuum broke so he called me right away and said he could not make it and rescheduled immediately. His schedule was extremely flexible.

I bought a coupon for a special offer of sweeping and checking condition of the chimney. Making the appointment was easy and they came within the two hour window. The chimney was swept and he took photos of the condition of the exterior cap and interior of the chimney. Some repairs were suggested and a new cap which we are considering having done in the spring.

Vince from Chimney check showed up on time to preform all services. During an inspection and sweep he showed me that my chimney was cracking and unlined which the house inspector previously missed. He explained the services reccommended. Since I was not supposed to use my boiler or fireplace until my chimney was lined, he got me on his schedule as quickly as possible to make sure my chimney was safe for use. There was one piece that he had to special order for my chimney and will be back soon to finish the job. He has had great follow up for the entire job. I would reccomend this company to others.
