Get matched with top chimney sweeps in South Vienna, OH

"Used a shop vac to sweep what they did get out, leaving a coat of dust on everything in our living room. Used 1 sponge they wet once to clean. We were quoted $75, with multiple discussions on what they could do. Explained all the $75 was for inspection and sweep from the top of chimney, which we had removed last year. $600 for a deep cleaning and then tried to charge $1200. If this was a deep cleaning, I ll eat my hat. We signed contract with no amount on it."

"They showed up as promised. Called when they were on their way. They were respectful of the yard and neighbors. They were slightly more expensive than another company we had out but decided to use them because of neighborhood referrals."

"Not well. The young men who came were pleasant, but inexperienced. The job was to sweep AND inspect. They said it did not need sweeping (though we later found out it did) and they asked if we wanted an outside inspection as if it were an add-on. It was raining and I guess they did not want to get wet. They then were delayed sending us a quote and when we asked for one, it was nebulous and prohibitively expensive. Four quotes later we found a company that would do the work needed and not upsell us. We paid $250 effectively for nothing."

"Air Duct Crew did a great job and I REALLY appreciated the guys that showed up to do the job. Very nice and professional, had no concerns about them at all."

"I contacted the provider upon receiving the Angi referral. They contacted me and came the next day to provide an estimate. The technician inspected the chimney and provided an estimate. I agreed to the estimate and charged my credit card for the $1,214.14 deposit. I received two different invoices via email for the deposit and estimate. They were from two different companies, neither of which was A1 Chimney Services. I became suspicious of a possible fraud situation and emailed the address on one of the invoices asking to cancel the service request and receive a refund for the deposit. I sent a second email with no response and spoke to two different representatives with the same request. No one responded. I filed a Better Business Bureau complaint and registered a dispute with my credit card company relative to the deposit. I received a text from an A1 representative on September 26th asking if he could assist me since he saw that the deposit charge was in dispute. I made the same refund request. He said that he could not do anything until the bank finished their investigation. The bank closed the dispute and restored the charge to my credit card on October 19th. I texted the representative again with the refund request. There was no response to request number 6. I have not been contacted again by A1 since 9/26."

"I got several quotes, and after talking with Mr Chimney (John), it became apparent how knowledgeable he was. One of my co-workers had John fix his chimney after a tree fell on it years ago, and he was happy with the job they had done. Even though it was a lot of money, his quote was significantly cheaper than another replacement quote, and I went with them. Another company quoted a non replacement solution, which would have been a bad choice in my case. I signed a contract spring '17. John was having trouble matching the brick because my house is almost 40 years old. He checked with 25 companies before he found the perfect match. John was willing to jump through other hurdles, such as putting the scaffolding on stilts because of our multiple tiered flower beds that were in the way, and working around our schedule when it wouldn't be safe to work because of guests. It turned out that the chimney brick was coming off in sheets because some previous company had disposed excess concrete down the chimney, between the flue liner and brick, so there was no room for expansion, or for a place for the water to go when the chimney crown started leaking. Mr. Chimney finished the chimney, all the flashing done the right way, replaced the shingles around the chimney where they were working, cleaned up, fixed some other pre-existing issues, and the chimney looks great!"
