It went surprisingly well. We were surprised to hear that the chimney was in good condition and okay to use as we expected to hear that some work needed to be done since this area of home improvement seems to be rife with fraud. We were given many tips on operating a fireplace, storing firewood and he even gave us a cute little bundle of kindling for free! There was no mess whatsoever from the cleaning of the chimney. We had an appointment with another chimney sweep who charged one-half of Colonial's price, but he couldn't come until January 2. We decided to pay more for the quicker service before Christmas.

Fred returned my call the same night and set up an appointment for one fireplace/chimney cleaning on the following week. He showed up promptly, worked very quickly and left the area more clean than when he started. After looking at the secondary fireplace he remarked that it too needed a good cleaning (lots of Duraflame use from previous owner) and he set up a second appointment for a few days later. That appointment went just as smoothly. He was also very helpful by offering up tips on fireplace care and maintenance. I'll be sure to call him again next year for the same services (though he said he'd give a reminder call to check in then too).

wW've used Fred for years. He always leaves the living room neat and tidy after cleaning the chimney.

Easy to get in touch with and got an appointment within a few days. He was right on time and very friendly. He was so organized and efficient in how he worked and not a speck of dust was left anywhere in the process or afterward. He said it is a vacuumed contained process so no mess to clean up but he still laid down tarps to protect carpets from his equipment. Very thorough. Pleasure to deal with and would highly recommend. Several members of my family have used him as well and we all have had the same positive experience.

Not only does this company do chimney cleaning, they also do gutters as well. I cannot say enough good about them. His services are excellent. I have been doing the chimney cleaning for years now with them. I would never think of going anywhere else.

I have been using Fred for at least ten years. Can't say enough good things about him. He responds to phone calls quickly, arrives promptly for appointments and is very pleasant to deal with. He keeps meticulous records and will remind us in writing and by phone if we are due for service. Although there were certain years when we hadn't used the fireplace, Fred was understanding and did not try to pressure us to do unnecessary work, but still would call to remind us the following year. He covers all surfaces and makes sure to clean up after himself.

Colonial was recommended to me by my alarm company guy. They have a good reputation in my local area. I can see why. I can't remember what I paid for the chimney cleaning they did for me but it was quite reasonable. I will be calling them again in the future, I feel sure. I will put the word out also that they are very good to deal with and I would recommend them.

I have been using Fred to clean the chimney in my home for over 20 years, and I could not recommend anyone more highly. He is always prompt, personable, efficient, and very neat and clean in my home. He is among the nicest and most competent service person I have ever dealt with.

Mr. Heinrich was prompt, very neat and clean in his work and courteous. He was very helpful and had good advice on the use of our fireplace.

Fred has swept our chimneys since we moved into this house 25 years ago. As always, Fred Heinrich returned our telephone call promptly and we were able to make an appointment for a mutually convenient time a few days later. Fred Heinrich is courteous and punctual. His chimney sweeping is efficient, thorough and extremely clean, not a speck of soot or any lingering "sooty" odor. He also offers helpful hints/advice on how to use fireplaces safely and efficiently.

Great work. Was very clean. Fred took the time to explain to me how to use the fire place (we had just moved from the city). I highly recommend them.

HE CLEANS THE CHIMNEY FROM THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE AND DOES NOT LEAVE A SPECK OF DUST. HE USES A DEODORIZED PINE AIR FRESHENER. HE IS VERY CLEAN AND PUNCTUAL. I HAVE USED HIM FOR SEVEN YEARS AND ORIGINALLY GOT HIS NAME FROM A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE.

OUR NEIGHBOR HAD RECOMMENDED THIS PERSON. WE HAVE USED HIM SEVERAL TIMES. HE DOES A THOROUGH JOB. HE EVEN LAYS DOWN DROP CLOTHS EVERYWHERE SO THAT HE DOESN'T GET ANYTHING DIRTY. HE VACUUMS WHEN HE IS DONE TOO.

I HAVE USED THEM FOR ABOUT TWELVE YEARS. HE IS EXTREMELY THOROUGH IN THE WORK THAT HE DOES. HE IS ALSO VERY PROFESSIONAL, AND HONEST WHICH IS HARD TO FIND.
