Chimney Sweeping
$3,262
showed him boiler and he looked at it fast. It is a 300,000 btus with hot water heater that got vented into the chimney totally 40,000. The boiler is an 8inch vent to the chimney and he gave me a 6inch vent and the t he put on was wrong. Boiler man turned it on and fumes come into the house. It has to match the 8inch boilers with 8inch liners.

It was fine. It went really well. They did some cement work on my steps out front. I have all the brick and everything, they did the cement work. They didn't do chimney. They do other things besides chimney.

"Hello [Member Name Removed], Yes our men went to your home and cleaned your dryer vent and chimney for a fair price. When you called our office and said the lint pipe for your dryer came loose our men automatically went back and re-attached the pipe. Our men did recommend to you earlier to change your dryer vent pipe, because it's old and falling apart. I apologiize if you feel that you were mistreated,but as you explained you replaced or corrected issue with your dryer vent pipe, which has nothing to do with us. We went there for a service and we completed it. Given a poor rating was unnecessary and shows your character."

They were competent and good people. I had my chimney rebuilt and that's what the problem is with the roof. They responded and came right out. The experience was good. I have no problems with it at all. They were considerate and on time. They were very professional.

Original schedule crew Leader did not show first day, resulting in an inexperienced Crew leader coming day 2, who rushed, was sloppy and was more concerned with beating a timeline. He did not have enough help or should have been scheduled for 3 days.  Team leader was not concerned with protecting surrounding area, to prevent damage. I had to stop work in early stages, climb to roof (40+ ft.) and push for a plan to protect the wooden Yankee gutters. I had to put pressure (hold back full payment) on the team leader to properly seal the new brick a second time, also I had to push to get plaster debris removed from gutter. I had to address issue with office to get project completed.
It was a stressful experience, also I did not get credit for my pre-payment  $149) to Angies, an oversight on my part.

"Hello [Member Info Removed], I think you have us confused with another company. Please check your paper work. We don't even service your area. I also called Angie's list to rectify this matter. Thank you, Jeanette"

They started by trying to clean the chimney.  It was very dirty and they stopped a few minutes into the process.  They sold me on plugging up the chimney with insulation and charged me over $200 for one roll of insulation - plus the $59 I had already paid.
Response from Certified Chimney Service Inc

"Hello [Member Name Removed], Please know We get $199.00+ to clean a chimney in NYC. This is due to the height of the buildings. As you know,we tried to clean your chimney... but it was dirty and had other issues. Yes our technician sealed your chimney and insulated it to prevent any draft. The price, that we gave you included labor & materials. Thank you for your purchase, Jeanette"
