From the scheduling process to my interaction with the chimney scientist, everything was handled efficiently. I was scheduled promptly, and Brandon, who came out for the inspection, was very professional and friendly. He took aerial pictures to assess the condition of our chimney, clearly explained the issues, and outlined the recommended remediation steps. Great service overall!

My Chimney was condemned and other chimney specialists quoted high price for creosote removal. These companies also tried to move me to a steel liner replacement with a fireplace insert. I just wanted what I had - my standard fireplace. Chimney Scientists creosote removal and ceramic chimney repair came in at half the cost. But more importantly, gave me my fireplace back! The entire team was responsive, friendly and professional. I also received a 25 year guarantee on the ceramic repairs. I would recommend Chimney Scientists to anyone who wants quality work, friendly service, and a good price.

Everyone I dealt with from Chimney Scientists was very professional and friendly. They were also very knowledgeable and took the time to show pictures and diagrams and explain every step of the process, including how to work with my insurance company. I will definitely hire them again for any future chimney/fireplace needs.

The technician,Tahj, was very knowledgeable and explained each step. He was also able to immediately diagnose the problem and went above and beyond normal cleaning/maintenence steps to insure the job was completed to our satisfaction. As an added benefit, the technician used 3 mil plastic to cover flooring and area around the stove. This is a step above other companies that simply use drop cloths. Cloth is porous and will allow soot to premeate the material. Upon completion, the technician cleaned the entire stove and surrounding area. Wife was ecstatic because the carpet in the room is white. I will continue to use this business and am recommending them to family, friends and neighbors.

A very thorough, professional job over two half days to fix many chronic problems in a 64 year old fireplace and chimney was done well using some techniques I could not find in any other company.

Joe and his team were very professional and competent from the beginning to the end of the job. Tyler and his crew arrived at the time they promised to start the work. They finished the work ahead of schedule. They cleaned up after themselves each day they were here. I would very highly recommend Chimney Scientists to anyone who needs any type of chimney work done. We are very pleased with the look and the performance of the final product.

I hired this company to clean to 2 chimneys, to clean a dryer vent, and to consider a gas insert going forward. The guy arrived promptly, made sure to use drop cloths keeping everything clean inside. He was thorough in his work and in his explanation of problems found, and possible solutions. Extremely happy with quality of work. Would definitely recommend to others.

The Chimney Scientist experts arrived on time and worked professionally, focused on the job at hand at all times. Our chimney flue is in a hard to reach spot and they had no problem getting the job done efficiently and expertly. From the inspection appointment to the completion of the work the representative and crew were courtious and professional throughout. So glad I called the Chimney Scientist!

They were great - One time ,really nice people, on budget to the penny! ALSO ---They were insured and sent a COI none of the other companies we asked for quotes sent one . It's important to have a COI before the start of a job you could be on the line if someone gets hurt (falls off the roof) !

Joe was the consummate professional. He showed up on time, explained everything, and told me how long he would be working. He explained to me his findings and told me I was good to go with an insert. I had the report the same day. I would hire them again.

Chimney Scientist were a real pleasure to work with -- both from scheduling the visit, explaining the work that needed to be done, making the repair. They were able to fit us in before Xmas so that we could have a fire for the holiday!!! They were very polite and quick!!! I would hire them again

My Chimney needed a liner. I have used Chimney Scientists for my clients in the past so they were the company I called when I needed an evaluation and repair. I was very happy with their service and knowledge for my clients and still feel happy they will now provide me with their excellent service

The workers were very thorough in explaining what they were doing (cleaning out the creosote in our chimney), showed us photos of before & after, & cleaned up afterward. They then issued a very thorough written report about the state or status of our chimney, which will be needed to show any housing inspector if we decide to sell our house. This cleanup/repair was needed in order for us to be able to install a gas fireplace.
