Stan's Fireplace & Chimney Service

Highly professional and fast.

Great. Stan was prompt, courteous and was able to acquire replacement set in same day. He did a thorough cleaning of the chimney and He put down his drop cloths and the house remained as neat and clean after he was finished. He also noted that the old set was not installed properly with the shut off. I was pleased with the service and would recommend them to others.

Quickly and clean

As a new home owner who has never had a wood burning chimney, I had many questions. Stan patiently answered each question. I got several quotes and Stan was in the middle for the price, so it seemed reasonable. Stan also discovered an issue with my chimney cap that will be addressed when the weather is warmer.

Did a very good

It turned out okay. I wouldn't rate them as great. They did the job but I probably wouldn't recommend them. They came out and gave a lower estimate but I didn't know they were going to use the old brick. The chimney and the bricks were starting to chip. The only thing they replaced was the bricks that were chipped. Another company told me that had a higher estimate, they'll come in and give you a lower estimate but they'll use your same old brick which is what they did. They did replace maybe 8 or 10 bricks out of the whole chimney. When they showed up with their truck, I thought they had a load of bricks. They charged me $50 or $100 for a cheap cap to put on it. I could probably buy one for $30 at Lowe's or Home Depot myself. I said I don't want that, just turn out my old one. It's too late now, we've already bought it. I said, you can't take it back to the store? No. It serves a purpose a guess, but I wouldn't know.

Very professional. Showed up at scheduled time. Quick and efficient diagnosis of the problem. Educated me (with pictures) on the issues and then offered me a quote. No pressure to use his company for repairs. Prices were better than those I received before. New custom cap on my chimney later that day. Would definitely work with them again.

Stan and Jason came over right on time. They were punctual and friendly. I moved into a new home that had a gas log which had not been used in approx 8+ years. I wanted them to check it out and make sure everything was safe. They went over using the system and checked to make sure everything was safe/clean.
I'll be using them in the future for any maintenance/repairs I may need, and will happily recommend them to others. Stan just seems like a good guy who cares about his business.

Very friendly and efficient, great responsiveness and punctuality. Did a great job and also gave me recommendations and advice on other things they noticed while they were doing their service (such as the state of the chimney joints, advice on where to buy a fireproof rug for in front of the stove, etc.) They were polite and courteous, the stove looks brand new and they cleaned up every speck of dust. Will definitely use again.

The initial appointment was September 15th.  He actually called us and could come earlier than planned which worked out great for us.  He initially inspected our gas fireplaces and determined that that were not ready for maintenance for another two years. He determined the model of remote that we would need and ordered it, and told us he would call to schedule a time that would work for us, to install it. He would not charge us for the service call since the fireplaces did not need any maintenance.  My husband insisted he charge us something for his time and the trip out to our home.  Stan suggested we just pay a deposit for the remote and that would take care of the service call.  My husband paid him that day for total cost of the remote. Stan called the following week, and scheduled the install for the following day.  The remote was installed quickly and worked great.  We were not charged any additional fee for the labor and second trip to our home.  Stan and his staff are friendly and courteous, and we could not be happier with their work!  We will call him again when our fireplaces are due for inspection and maintenance.

We moved into our home approximately five (5) years ago and never used our fireplace.  We decided that since it was used to burn wood and later converted to a vent-free gas log, the smart thing to do was to have everything cleaned and inspected before using.  After researching Angie's list, I found and read the reviews for Stan's Fireplace & Chimney Service.  After talking to Stan, arrangements were made to have our chimney and fireplace cleaned and inspected.

Stan and crew arrived promptly as scheduled, even calling prior to arrival to let me know when they would they would arrive.  After introducing himself and crew, they covered the floors and brought in their equipment.  The chimney was cleaned and inspected for height, chimney cap, custom flashing, roof flashing, inner liner and moisture resistance.  The fireplace was cleaned and inspected for proper damper operation, firebox/grate, ash container, spark screen and general condition of hearth. 

After all work was completed, Stan explained all the work that was completed and demonstrated the proper procedure for safely lighting and shutting down the vent-free gas log system.  Since we did not have a gas log shut-off key, Stan stressed the importance of having this key and offered to order it for us and have it shipped to our house. We gladly paid for the key and Stan made sure we received it as promised.

Stan's Fireplace & Chimney Service went above and beyond what I was hoping for.  Stan and crew were polite, professional and delivered high quality service.  After the work was completed,  they made sure they left the work areas spotless.  I highly recommend Stan's Fireplace & Chimney Service!!

They were on time and polite and very knowledgeable on what needed to be done!

The appointment went well.  The team was prompt, clean and professional.
Answered questions as this is the first house we've had with a natural fireplace.  
Following the examination/sweep they discussed future care and eventual concerns as well as included a timeline for future service.
We will use them again in the future.

Stan is a complete professional in every aspect. Examined the fireplace from top to bottom literally, chimney top to basement. We are in a "new" old house and did not want to use the fireplace without having it checked first. It's a good thing we did. Stan found the fireplace and chimney fine but when he went to the basement to check the ash receptacle and base of the hearth safety issues became apparent to him. Stan discovered the bottom of the hearth rested on wood and could cause a fire from heat transfer. He took the time to explain what could be done to make the fireplace usable and safe. Then said No Charge! We will definitely recommend him to everyone and give him our business.
