The finished chimney looks great but I would not hire this company again because of their lack of professionalism. They would not take responsibility for scratching my gutters even though I have pictures showing where they loaded their blocks onto the roof in the exact spot where the gutters are damaged.

I was going to go into a whole long lengthy text but the fact of the matter is is that [Member Name Removed] was not easy to deal with from the start. He was looking for discounts even though we agreed to a price. My word is my bond, when we agree to a repair number I stick to that repair number. I don’t raise the agreed price after the fact. I did give him a discount still and then he was still looking for issues? The scratches on the gutter were from the nosey neighbor that redid his roof a year or so back. Sliding the bundles of roofing onto the roof. We are talking paint worn off of the gutters above the roof line. If we would’ve been sliding blocks on the gutter there would be dents and scratches, not just worn paint. I talked to my guys and they insisted that they went hand to hand on the handling and staging of the block. I don’t like feeling taken advantage of and I’m not afraid to express that. Check our reviews. We are very fair and honest with our customers. That’s why they keep coming back.

Went great. Originally scheduled for a later date and due to a cancellation I was able to get things done a week ahead of time. Specialist was on time, friendly, efficient and clean. Provided great advice will definitely refer people to them and use them again when services are needed.

Chimney Sweep Specialists responded to my voicemail requesting information within an hour, which I found impressive. They have a 30ft height limit for chimney work. I was not sure of the height of our chimney, so they had me send pictures. The following day two polite professional men arrived to survey the situation. Unfortunately, our chimney is such that they could not perform the work safely. I appreciate that the company sets limits to keep its employees safe, though I was disappointed not to be able to support this company. If you have a more standard chimney, please consider hiring Chimney Sweep Specialists.

Great communication from first call to service day. James was 100% pro: kind, considerate, knowledgable. Dropped price a bit because flue wasn't too dirty. Most of work done inside in living room, and left zero trace of ash, etc. Maybe cheaper service is out there, but it's relief to find a company to trust. Will happily call them in future.

I have worked with Chimney Sweep Specialist for several years to assist my clients with their needs, they are always prompt in responding and I have found over the years that I have worked with them their pricing is very fair and the quality of their work is excellent. I highly recommend them for any Chimney and masonry work.

Chimney Sweep Specialist was the quickest to arrive and give me a bid, the cheapest bid by about 30%, and were flexible in squeezing in this quick job in between other jobs. Only problem is that when I went to check the work (re-doing the flashing into two short roof chimneys where they connect to the roof), there were multiple holes in the mortar that hadn't been caulked. There was some caulk, but it missed multiple spots where water would enter. I emailed photos and asked them to return to fix it, they replied, "Yes, we'll return to fix it next week." No oops, no sorry, no acknowledgement that I shouldn't have had to climb on the roof to check the work. So when I followed up a week and a half later to ask if it was done, they said yes, and I checked the work again. It appeared that the holes were filled on one chimney, but not the other. Including two that I literally had sent a picture of in my first email. They were a much cheaper bid than others, so I went ahead and paid but gave them feedback about quality control. UPDATE: I received a message saying 'I will send my main mason over next week to fix everything correctly .'" I will update the review upon completion of the 2nd "fix." UPDATE: I received an apology and responsive email from the company, "My main mason is heading over today to fix what needs to be done and I apologize about my other technician not fixing what he needed to Sent from my iPhone" The work was fixed on January 2nd, almost a month after the original job was completed.

Really well. travis inspected the fireplace and chimney, determined that it did not need to be cleaned and suggested installing a spark arrestor top to the chimney that also prevents rain from entering the top. After conferring with me on the phone he was able to do the instalation on the same visit.
