The work took 2 1/2 days. The workers were friendly and punctual. They worked very hard and cleaned up well after they finished. The owner gave us a senior discount which was very nice. We were very pleased with this company and would definitely recommend it.

Chimney is still dirty, patches of black flacks are falling when I open the vent. The original material that covered the surface of fireplace was far better quality and fashionable than the new one. Very low quality of work and craftsmanship.
Description of Work: The initial plan was to clean the chimney. But after inspection, repairs recommended. By "any" standard the price for the service was enormous.

Capitol Chimney kept constant communication prior to each appointment and throughout the process. All work was done to statisfaction and the finished product looks great. The only downside was when the chimneys were cleaned the creosote film spread throughout the main floors the fireplaces were located. After notifying them, I was given a discount for cost of cleaning.
Description of Work: 3 chimney rebuilds from the roof line up, two cleanings, and once furnace liner installed.

The chimney sweep said my flu had water damage and refused to clean the flu or do temporary repairs to stop water damage. He spent 10 min on site, and offered/upsold an expensive replacement, and did unnecessary damage to the flu pipe with his "inspection".

The price was a little expensive. There were other companies that didn’t charge as much. They were still very professional. I couldn’t see anything they were doing, but they did clean up after themselves and they did a good job. They didn’t come when they were supposed to, and they didn’t call, but they did get me in within a few days of calling. They were supposed to be here at 1:30 and didn’t show up until 5:30, but they did stay until it was finished. I was glad they came.
Description of Work: They swept out my chimney, installed a stainless steel liner, replaced the vent pipe and put a crown on top of the chimney.

The services were performed when my contractor was there but I was not present. The chimney was cleaned but I did still find some spiderwebs at the opening . While I received an estimate for potential repairs ito the fireplace, I never received the actual inspection report for the chimney.

The crew of two was professional, quiet and efficient. They left no mess. What most impressed me was the fact that they didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need. The leader noted that I had a decorative clay chimney pot and said I probably would not want a cap on top of that. He was right. I liked that they were clearly here to do the work, not to upsell other services or products.

Technitions arrived on time with proper equipment to carefully survey the condition of the flue and the dampers, and provide cost estimates for repair and replacement. No physical work was performed, but was postponed to next fall. All cost of the visit was covered by the Angie's List contract. No pressure was applied to conduct immediate work, and we were completely satisfied with the visit.
Description of Work: Having trouble with fireplace smoking up the room. Also needed help understanding use of the Flue damper.

Aside one scheduling hiccup, because of rain, the came and did the inspection and cleaning. Early winter is a busy time so understandable that we had to wait a few weeks for them to come back to do the parge. Everyone I interacted with at Capital Chimney was professional and courteous. I would use them again.
Description of Work: We ordered a chimney sweep and inspection at the start of winter. It had been several years since our last chimney sweep, so the soot had become glazed inside the firebox. The inspector recommended parging the smoke chamber with concrete spray. The cost was $575.

After waiting for over two weeks for my appointment Capitol Chimney Service called the day before my appointment to confirm the schedule, service needed, and cost. I arranged for someone to stay home from work and lose pay in order to cover my appointment. Capitol Chimney Service called the morning of my appointment to cancel and wanted to reschedule me for another week longer due to light rain. I found this very unprofessional since they could have told me the day before and also checked the weather forecast to see light rain was expected.
