Had an excellent experience hiring Steve and his crew to install an "emergency" chimney liner for our new oil boiler. Did not even know one was needed until middle of boiler install. Oops! Timing was Halloween in NH, so already getting very cold and most other chimney companies I called were booked for months. Steve stopped by the very evening of that first phone call and prepared an estimate. After patiently emailing back and forth with detailed explanations, it became obvious that he was going to "do it right", unlike my other low-ball estimate that was going to install a bare-bones liner similar to the previous one that had failed, and most likely would not have lasted long (not to mention potential condensation issues.) And BONUS - he rearranged his schedule to come that very SUNDAY (now early Nov) and get it done, so that we could stop shivering! AND he even honored his Angies discount. Liner install went AOK, furnace was online the very next day after my plumber came back to finalize set-up and we've been warm ever since. Took only 5 days from our initial phone call and plumber was impressed with their work on the liner. Kudos to Fireside Sweeps. Look no further. I can highly recommend. Thanks Steve & Lisa!!

They are going to do our property in New Hampshire. They did a good estimate. It was like $7,000. They had to call my son when they came out so he could go to the house, so he could have them look at it. I think it went pretty well. The lining was $2,583.20. The chimney was $4,255.34 They probably won’t get to it till spring now because they are filled up. I talked to Steve.

Fine. Glad they did a thorough inspection from the roof.

What can I say about Steve. He's a consummate professional with over 30 years in the industry. A real pro that knows the solutions to problems and doesn't fall for the latest fads.
I got a call from Steve while I was traveling and said that there was a big problem with my chimney specifically where the flue meets the connection to the chimney stack. Since he was in the process of relining the chimney it wasn't noticed until he got elbows deep into it. He said he'd have to do some demo to the inside because of the shoddy installation that was originally done.
I told him to go ahead and do what needed to be done to make it properly usable since we burn about 5 fires per week in the winter. This was Friday afternoon when I received the call. The next thing that happened astonished me.
I returned from my trip Friday night. Saturday morning, Steve was there with 3 other crew members. 2 guys had worked 1/2 day Friday. All 4 were there all day on Saturday. All 4 were there on Sunday. 2 more came back on Monday. They worked their tails off each day.
My wife were certain that our estimate got blown out of the water. Further, I knew I wasn't being fleeced since there were 4 guys working full days on Saturday and, more importantly, Sunday. When they were done, Steve said it was the 3rd worst chimney he's ever worked on (over 30 yrs experience, mind you).
When we got the bill, it was the same as the estimate. Let me repeat that....the SAME as the estimate. It should have easily cost 2x the estimate. I brought it up to Steve and said that this cannot be correct and that I must owe you more. He responded that he's a man of his word and that he should have scoped the chimney with a camera before giving the estimate.
In other words, he owned his mistake and is a stand up guy (in addition to being an expert). I felt guilty and gave him an extra $100 or $150 bucks to take his guys out to dinner. Needless to say, Steve at Fireside Sweeps has a customer for life.

The three workers were very friendly and positive about their work. They provided a detailed report within a day or so. We plan to have them complete the maintenance once we are clear on other needed renovations. We enthusiastically recommend them for any type of chimney work.

He arrived time in bad weather and went right to work. Obviously an expert in his work and able to explain in layman's terms what needed to be done and why. He did his work efficiently and cleaned up and disposed of refuse from the job.
He agreed to do another job not related to cleaning the pellet stove flue--he replaced a defective portion of pipe on the oil burner flue with a part I had purchased earlier. He did not request extra payment although I wanted to pay him for his services and ultimately did pay him.

Basically performed a chimney sweeps reach on the Angieslist website and found and found Fireside Sweepers. Sent an email to set up an appointment . We settled on a date. When he came he was very professional. He performed an inspection and swept the chimney. He took pictures of the condition of the chimney and provided options . We told him that we were going to buy a woodstove insert and wanted options, as wel. He came back to us with 3 options for the chimney and wood stove installation. His communications were excellent. We Willis definetly use and recommend his services in the future.
