Al's Chimney Service Inc

Generally speaking, I would say that this mom & pop company are taking on work far beyond their level of expertise. The fact that the owner of this company insisted that he could fix my original problem by extending a chimney that had always been too short without evaluating it's relationship to the firebox, says it all. Every time it became clear that the latest "fix" was not working, they had another "solution". I'm sure that when they realized there was no more money in it for them, they would simply cut their losses and refuse to stand behind their work. I do not believe there is any malice involved here, but as this cost me twice what the company originally bid and I still do not have a completely satisfactory outcome, I cannot ever imagine recommending Al's Chimney Service to anyone.

He did good work, but the problem was they damaged my lawn when mixing the mortar. It turned a big spot on my front lawn brown and I had to reseed it. I told them I didn't want them to do that so they moved it into my backyard and did the same thing. They didn't offer to discount my price or do anything to repair the problem they created.

We found them in the phone book and asked them for a general quote. They were very prompt. They gave me an estimate for the additional work that I requested and came the day they indicated. They left everything very clean.
