He was excellent. We got an appointment promptly, his work was professional and he immediately installed the attachment so that we didn't need for him to come back. Everything was cleaned up very well.
Description of Work: He cleaned out our gas log fireplace and suggested an addition to the damper to keep any fumes from going into the house in case the pilot goes out.

Ron was running late but called to inform us of that earlier. He did the job and laid out material to put dirty logs on and when he left everything was all clean and working good. Very polite gentleman and did the work very efficiently. And when we asked if they did chimney repair too, he got up on the roof to check it and would have written up an estimate, but he said our chimney was still good. We would definitely use them again and are referring Detroit City Sweep to a friend of ours.
Description of Work: Ron checked the gas burner in fireplace. Cleaned all the logs and replaced sand and rocks and repositioned the igniter so it was easier to start gas logs. Also went on roof to see if our chimney top needed any repair, which he said was good.

I paid, and as requested, I marked possible dates. (1) Three days later the company send me a message claiming that my contact number on Angie's List is incorrect, asking for a phone number. (2) I responded immediately with my phone number, and also asked them about the wrong contact number that Angie's list allegedly has for me. (3) A week passed, and they did not respond. I understand it's a busy time of the year, but that is not an excuse for such lack of communication.
Description of Work: A deal of chimney sweep for $99 was offered through Angie's List by Detroit City Sweep LLC.

THE B'S ON MY REVUE ARE FOR VERY TRIVIAL THINGS AND SHOULDN'T NECESSARILY COUNT AGAINST THEM... HOWEVER, SOMONE ELSE COULD HAVE GOT A'S AND I AM FAIR... OVERALL, THEY DID EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED IN A TIMELY MATTER AND IT DIDN'T COST ANYMORE THAN WHAT I EXPECTED. YOU WANT YOUR CHIMNEY CLEANED, USE THEM.

Great so far NO PROBLEM. Technician Chris was very good. Highly recommend at this time !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Description of Work: Clean my gas fireplace and showed me how to work it!!! Chris did a very good job. Brownie points for him !!!!!!!!!!!
They called to let me know they were on their way. They arrived when expected and were very professional. They checked out my chimney and did a through chimney cleaning for my wood burning fireplace, making sure none of the mess got into the house. They took pictures of the chimney so I could see it and did a great job explaining what work needed to be done. Did a great job cleaning up after they were done. I will use them again and would recommend them.

Really great service providers. Did the work per the Big Deal offer, pointed out some repairs that needed to be made, converted gas fireplace to wood burning. Very nice guys, and they cleaned up after themselves REALLY well. Couldn't even tell they were in the house, which is pretty impressive since as far as I can tell the chimneys haven't been cleaned in about 15 years. Really looking forward to using my fireplaces this winter, and I'll use these guys again!
Description of Work: Cleaned per the terms on the Big Deal offer, and did a few small repairs on the chimney.
