Chim Chimnee Master Masonry Inc

My experience with them was really kind of vague.  I just didn't get good vibes from them.  First of all, they sent a guy who had only been doing chimney stuff for about a year which put me off because I thought I would get somebody with more experience.  When people go up on your roof you are kind of at there mercy because I don't know if its true or not.  I am definitely not going up there to look.  Of course he had pictures of it on his phone but how do I know that it was mine?  Then, he kind of offered to do work on the side, like moonlighting, to undercut his employer.  I just didn't think he was quite on the up and up.  I would certainly not give him more than a C.  I didn't initially have any problems with the price but then I wondered if I got the truth for the price.  I am just not sure of the value.  It was an okay price but did I get the truth?  The quality is sort of a question mark because you can't see what they do.  That is my point.  I wish there was a category for honesty because that is the issue I had with this company.  With the categories listed, I don't have a problem with the price.   Oh, they were on time.  There's a sucker born every minute and you wouldn't want to miss one of them.  I would give them a D for professionalism.  I would not use them again.

I called Chim Chimee on a Saturday morning requesting a quote on a chimney cleaning and installation of a chimney cap.  The owner said he would send someone out that same day.  Later, I got a call from the service guy and he said they were overbooked, but he could come see me Monday.  ( I actually think they only have one service guy ).

The service guy arrived about an hour late for my appointment Monday.  Then he went on my roof for a couple of minutes and came back down to tell me I need to get my chimeny crown replaced and flasing installed.  He wrote up an estimate for everything and then charged me $75. 

There was no mention of a charge for estimates, when I made the appointment, so this surprised me.  Then he says that they apply the $75 towards the final bill should I choose to have Chim Chimne do the work. 

I've checked with other companies and Chim Chimnee is very overpriced in my opinion.  I will cut my losses with them at $75 and not work with them again.  Be sure you specifically ask about a free estimate when calling service companies.  You should not have to pay someone to bid on a job for you.

(please see above).    These clowns are lying cash rapists.  They deserve to be put out of business.
