Some of the issues were more cosmetic but others were quite substantial. As I live in a different state, 360 miles from where my mother resided, I needed to entrust my mom's home to them while they worked and needed to be able to have confidence in them to get the work done. These fellows were great to work with. They kept in regular touch with me during the times when I could not be present there; they did their best to keep the costs down while ensuring that the jobs got done properly. They had a good working relationship with the city inspection office and were able to get clarification directly from the inspector when they had questions about some of the items on the list. Their subcontractors also did their jobs efficiently and in good time. The entire job took longer than any of us had hoped mostly because there were times when they could not proceed until I had the opportunity to get there to clean out things. Some of the exterior work was also delayed simply because of weather conditions, but once the temperatures were high enough, and once I gave them the go-ahead, they were right back to work. The reason for my assigning them a B grade for quality is simply reflective of the fact that I asked them to do what was minimally necessary for compliance; it has nothing to do with what they are capable of! Where I needed them to do a great job, they did! The work included interior painting, drywalling, removing wall papers, replacing electrical outlets, installing smoke alarms, replacing windows in the basement, replacing an asphalt garage floor with a concrete floor, replacing and repainting exterior fascia, cutting back foliage, just to name some of it. The Beards were always professional, very responsive, flexible, and helpful; I would use them again without hesitation were I living in that area and I recommend them without hesitation.

I didn't even have to pick up the phone to make appointment as I was promptly contacted by their very courteous staff (a great first impression) not more than a day later. The day of my appointment, I had written down the time block wrong (9a-1pm instead of 1p-5p) and when I contacted their office, I was once again pleasantly surprised by excellent customer service and they quickly set about reworking the schedule for later in the day. I expected the technician to be irritable due to the last minute schedule change but that wasn't the case. Dean (I think) had such a great attitude and clearly enjoys his job as he took a good deal of time assessing the vent situation as well as climbing on the roof to identify if uncapped chimney was actually being used for other vent purposes (it wasn't) and providing me with options for capping (very reasonable pricing). My vent cleaning was definitely not a simple task (remember, 10-years of built up lint = blockages in vent bends, etc.), however, Dean took the time to ensure the job was done properly. Clean as a whistle. A very good experience from start to finish. I will be using Dr. Sweep again for chimney cap and most likely conversion of wood burning fireplace to gas.

"The whole process of quoting, sales presentation, finance arrangement, installation was simple, timely, professional, complete and painless. The price was very competitive, the installation was smooth and prompt, and the end product is thing of beauty. This review is from a homeowner who has had a couple of terrible furnace experiences in the past decade."

"They did repair the furnace and the chimney lining (which they'd put in about 8 years prior when they were known as Bob's Sheet Meta)l. I paid them $1065 for the repair and was grateful they could fix the problem. One week after they performed the work, my ceiling and chimney began leaking. I hired a construction company to find/repair the leak and the guy let me know that he found pieces of sheet metal on my roof and wondered why. I explained about the furnace job the week before. He also found that there was no seal between the flue and heating cap on the chimney top. He called Byron's and spoke with someone who authorized him to finish their work. I had to pay the construction company $750 to repair the damage caused by Byron's. I gave Byron ample opportunity to do the right thing (reimburse me the $750) and even offered to accept a credit instead. Byron refused to accept any accountability and instead was mad at the construction company for "throwing him under the bus". There are many good repair folks in and around Houghton, MI but sadly I've learned this is is not one of the reputable companies."

FAQs for chimney inspection projects in Big Rapids, MI
The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.

The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
