The initial visit was scheduled on a day that it happened to snow, so he was not comfortable climbing on my steep 2-story roof. So another 'Sweeper' came a few days later and completed the job nicely. Both fellows were very friendly, thorough and competent. The quotes for the recommended upgrades seemed a bit pricey, but were provided without any pressure to buy. The initial sale price to do the advertized cleaning was accepted without any discussion. I was left feeling i got a great deal, a much safer chimney, and a job well done that was long overdue.
Description of Work: My 30 yr old chimney flue and wood firebox were cleaned and inspected. (1st time ever)

Good experience. They had to come out twice because my home is technically three stories even though it is two levels (who knew). They did agood job cleaning and inspecting. Old house that needs some repairs to make it safe for a fire. They offered estimates on all things needing correction. Did not pressure me when I told them those things would have to wait.

Should have suspected something, because when they came to my house the1st time, the guy didn't bring much equipment into the house. He spent about 5 minutes looking in my fireplace & said it was dangerous, & shouldn't be used until it was chemically cleaned. Since I'd already prepaid $75 for this great Angie's "deal", it would only cost another $300. So they came out another time & sprayed the inside of my chimney once w/ a chemical cleaner & also did the normal cleaning. Am curious how many other people who get this "deal" are told the same story?

The technician arrived punctually. He took care to not make a mess and took off his shoes while in the house. Happy with the service overall. He did recommend some updates, but I don't use the fireplace so I did not bother.

It feels like we paid for a sales pitch.
Description of Work: We purchased a special deal through Angie's List without looking at the reviews for this business. The service was fair, we are not sure how extensive chimney cleaning is, but it looked as though he put a broom in the fireplace and moved it around for a minute. The rest of the time the service man was here he gave a quote for us to hire them back to do more work on the mortar of the chimney. At the time he left, it felt more like a sales pitch than a service call. For the next 4 weeks after, the office would call 3-4 times per week often times leaving no message. It was sales people finding out when they could come back and work on the chimney.It feels like we paid for a sales pitch.

It was package deal to tune up the fireplace. We had problems with the unit and thought it would be solved by cleaning and tune-up. It actually did not and we ended up buying a new unit. All elements of the package were carried out on -time, site was cleaned up.

The workman was here right on time, was courteous and pleasant. He cleaned our firebox and inspected it, then went outside & inspected the chimney. He came back into the house with a list of issues that we'll need to have handled to make our fireplace safe, and gave us estimates for those services. We plan on calling them back out in the near future to have that work done. We were very satisfied with the services provided.

Description of Work: They are fine. My only complaint is that one of the gutters was twisted around and had to be repaired (by me). It WAS winter so I can see how something small like that could happen. NOT a big deal at all.

My AM time slot turned into a 3 pm. They called the day prior to tell me I was an AM appointment but the day of the work they did not call until they were on their way from their prevoius stop. There was no appology for being late. they were quick to get on the roof to clean my gutters dragging my hose allover the roof and accross my skylights. the operation was they same for the second home. it did not take them long and as they could not sell me brick work they were gone in about an hour.

The estimator who came out in advance told me to buy 5 replacement concrete blocks for the repair, which I did. I was disappointed that of the 2 men who came out to do the job, one could speak no English, and the other limited English. After discussing the job, I left the house for a preplanned appointment. When I returned, they were done and gone, and had cleaned up fine. However, they used less than 2 1/2 of the blocks in making the repair, which disappointed me. I had thought they would dig below the ground level somewhat to replace those blocks, but they didn't. Moreover, one of the blocks that they re-used has pretty large holes in it (unlike the new concrete blocks I had bought); I would have preferred they not "re-use" any of the blocks, The repair looks "OK," although the new blocks stick out slightly more than the original ones ? and it makes me concerned about the longevity of the repair.
Description of Work: I bought a $99 coupon for masonry work. Several blocks at ground level near one corner of my garage were crumbling and needed to be replaced.

I paid $119 and they charged me for $69 worth service. They couldn't do everything that I hope to do, but that wasn't their fault. They were honest. They said that I need to pay for this, what they can do and they would be charging only for that. I overpaid for it and I am still in the process trying to get a refund from Angie's List. They did what I needed to do to get it going. They couldn't clean the fireplace because it was brand new and had never been used before. They just charged the basic service call and told me what I needed to do. They were very forthcoming and honest. They could have charged me for everything that I paid for, but they didn't do that. I just moved into the house and I didn't know how to operate the fireplace. I wasn't sure how to operate it and they provided a lot of information; but I paid Angie's List to do things that they couldn't do because it was never used before. They were right on time.

Make sure the drop cloths are covering sufficiently. Soot is nasty! They did a good job and I would use them again. Date is approximate.
Description of Work: It's been a while but I keep receiving requests to do a review so here goes - We purchased a big deal for Dr. Sweep to remove & clean the gas logs. They suggested I needed a new log rack as our existing one was too small for the space and, according to the technician, probably contributed to the increased amount of soot build up on the logs. He came back a second time to install it (I purchased it elsewhere) and it looks nice. He was very polite and punctual and did a nice job. Only complaint is that there are now a couple of stains on the hearth bricks where he was not so diligent with the drop cloths.

Showed up a little early and got started. They asked where I wanted to the leaves placed that they removed and also offered to bag them up. They were done in about 30 minutes. Very professional and were very thorough. I didn't have them do anything special with the gutters other than scoop them out but what else does a gutter need?
Description of Work: Cleaned out our gutters on our two story house. Had a lot of awkward small gutters that were packed with maple leaves and spinners and they were done in no time for a great price. I heard of them through a special offer I received through Angie's List.
