Fantastic job. Knowledgeable and helpful. Had a couple other estimates. This company was the only one that actually went up onto the roof to inspect the chimney.

The guys that performed the work were professional and courteous and did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend chimney cricket for cleaning and inspecting your fireplace.

No shows across the board, and a bunch of poorly crafted excuses. Brain dead owner.

Crew arrived at appointed time, finished on schedule, and clean-up was so complete, I could not tell they had been there.

Beware of this company. We had an appointment for them to come out to give us an estimate for a new front porch. They never showed and didn’t call. Three days later the owner returned my husband’s call and apologized for the mistake. We got an estimate and he gave us 10% off because of the inconvenience. We financed through them and waited for our work date. My husband took off of work because we were told they needed someone home. At 11:30 the day of the install, when nobody had called or shown up my husband called and they said, sorry nobody can come today. They gave us another date 3 weeks later saying that it was no problem doing the work even though it was half way into November. That day came and we came home at lunch time to see the progress to find nobody here. When my husband called, they said that someone had been out to start the work and were then called to another job. We were told they would be back the next day. It was a lie. Nothing had been started and from that day on we couldn’t even get them to return our phone call. A month later, my husband had to cancel the financing because it was clear they were never going to provide the service they promised. DO NOT use this company. We have a cracked and falling apart porch that we’re stuck with now until spring when we can try to hire another company. We’re hoping that not getting it fixed will not cause more problems with leaks, etc.
Response from Chimney Cricket
"[Member Name Removed], we're very sorry for your recent experience. Our company has delayed the all masonry exterior projects until the spring. Our team has been in communication with your husband on your project. It's unfortunate that we couldn't complete the job at your home the days we were there but again this was simply do to the weather. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused."

Waited 2 weeks to get an appointment. The guy came in and looked up the chimney told me I had a crack in the fireplace and I needed to pay $3000-$4000 to get it repaired or buy a vent free unit they MIRACULOUSLY had “in the van for $1500 (how convenient). He told me I had to pay $200 for this... no cleaning... just looked up there and said oh I can’t do it you owe us $200 and it cannot be applied to the repair unless you give us $550 today! What a scam... DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, hire a company that will come out and give you a quote. Not a company that will charge you for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I’m disgusted.

I was impressed with the professionalism and courtesy. They arrived right on time and provided clear and helpful information on options. Would definitely use again.

The install went well, they did a real nice job, cleaned up good too. My only complaint was it took about two months from the time I paid the deposit,until they did the installation. I am assuming it was because of the steel tariffs and they can't get the product as quick.

Everything went well. Great job cleaning and cleaning up. Showed us pictures of what was found in the inspection.

They did an excellent job! They (Shadrick & Sam) were very knowledgeable, friendly, and prompt! Cleaning fireplaces is very messy work, but they protected our new carpet nicely with drop cloths. And they did a great job cleaning up after their work was complete. We will need some repairs as a result of the inspection, but Shadrick was very informative and explained why the repairs needed to be made and how the repairs would be made when we schedule the work.

Very well, everything went smoothly and we are happy with the result. We also use Chimney Cricket for our annual chimney sweeping and they do a good job.

They did the job, but it wasn't to my satisfaction. It was really hard to reach them by phone to correct the issue, but once I withheld the check, they came right away and did a really good job! I was pretty satisfied, and the price was fair.
