Clifton Park Chimney Maintenance

it went very well. Very quick response to my message and an appointment set up. Andy was very thorough and explained everything to me and did a great job cleaning and there was no mess at all. He also did an inspection at my son's house which also went very well. I would recommend him to anyone looking.

Very well.

I  had a chimney fire on Saturday January 31.  I sent a message that evening asking Andy to come and inspect the damage and/or safety of the chimney.  Jill, Andy's wife called me on Monday, which happened to be a day we were hit by a horrible snow storm.  She was extremely pleasant and overwhelmingly accommodating taking down all the information and explaining the charges for different scenarios of services they provided.  Andy arrive promptly on Tuesday, Feb 3rd (only 2 days after I had the chimney fire) and inspected the chimney as well as the fire box.  I can not express in words how impressed I was with his professionalism.  He made several calls to me explaining his findings as well as letting me know approximately how much it might cost me when I hired someone to fix the issues.  He provided recommendations and names of businesses/individuals who did that type of work.  Much to my dismay the damage coupled with shoddy initial construction of the fireplace posed too great a cost for me to repair fireplace.  Instead, I decided to install a gas insert.  Andy recommended 3 sources.  I went with Woodburning Warehouse in Watervliet. Amazing price and once again quick installation scheduled.  I have already recommended Andy to 4 other friends who will be calling him.

Smoothly--he arrived on time, did his work so quickly that the house didn't even have time to get cold with the boiler off. He was very careful to explain the condition of the chimney and the fact that we need to reline it or stop using it soon and gave a referral for someone who could do that.

Our insurance company gave us a small punch list of items to
address in order for our policy renewal to be up to snuff. Among the items they
listed was our chimney. Some agent that came by our house said the chimney cap
needed repairing. He didn?t specify what. I found Clifton Park Chimney
Maintenance through Angie?s List and gave them a call to explain that I needed
an inspection and a repair of some sort. I spoke with Jill (Andy?s wife) who
was informative, friendly and genuinely friendly and eager to assist.
On short order, Andy came by my house when I was at work. I
know this because friends and family saw him on my roof so I know he did his
job. Andy called me at work and explained that he couldn?t find anything wrong
with my chimney! In fact, he said it was in better condition that 95% of the
chimneys he works with. He applied some caulk and said the chimney was dirty
and a little ugly, but otherwise it was structurally fine. Note: This chimney
is not used for any purpose whatsoever.  Andy charged me a nominal fee of $25. You can?t
beat that with a  stick!
This small, family-owned company was professional,
informative, timely, way more than fair and HONEST. I would highly recommend
Clifton Park Chimney Maintenance (Jill and Andy) to anyone in need of chimney
work.
