The office called a couple days in advance and left a message reminding me of the upcoming installation. The two installers showed up on the assigned date and removed the two old covers and installed the new ones. They look great. Whenever I have a need for chimney services again I would certainly give them a call.

After this and a very high cost estimate, my Mother canceled the work with this vendor and went with a "non-Angie's list" vendor who did the job for less than half the quoted price by Wells and Sons.
Response from WELLS & SONS CHIMNEY SERVICE

"(removed member name), Thank you for your comments. The "cell phone" is actually a video inspection of the flue that was necessary to inspect the condition of the flue following the chimney getting hit by lightning. This allows us to validate the integrity of the inner part of the chimney which can not be seen from the outside. As for the price difference, I can not comment as I have nit seen the other proposal but I suspect that the repairs we recommended were more encompassing. The safety and satisfaction of our customers is always our highest concern and I thank you for your comments as we continually look to improve our service. Thank you again!

We had Wells come to do a standard cleaning of our fireplace in March (cost about $100). We also asked them to look at one of our chimneys which we think had a slow leak into our bedroom as the paint was discolored. They could not get on the roof at that time because of the late snowfalls. They came back in April and reviewed the job, taking photos of both chimneys. One of the chimneys needed more work than the other but both were fixed for $1200 total. They were very professional about setting up the appointments, arriving on time to do the work, etc.

They did a good job.  They were neat and courteous.  They used shoe covers to avoid a mess and the service was quick.

We needed the chimney cleaned.  We also have a new leak coming from the chimney on our second floor. We set up an appointment and they came today to do the work. They were on time, careful to cover things up, and cleaned everything before they left. Very professional job.
Because of the snow they could not get up to see what was causing the leak from the chimney. We made an appointment for them to return in March to do that.
I am not sure if we will use them to complete the repair.  They attempted to sell us a stainless steel liner for our fireplace at a cost of $5,000.  If the chimney repair is anything like price that we'll have to get several more bids.  We have no interest in lining the chimney. We have a gas fireplace and there's no need for that.

They did a really good job. Liked the idea of the camera to be able to show me the crack in my chimney. They protected our floors and kept the house clean while working.

The owner of the company actually came to our house to do the initial inspection and took the time to explain everything to us very thoroughly, including making sure we could see all the damage. He was extremely professional and instilled a sense of confidence that naturally made us want to work with his company. On the day the work was scheduled, company staff arrived on time and completed the job as expected.  We can easily recommend them to others.

Wells & Sons was great to work with.   The lady who answers the phone was very pleasant and helpful and delivered an excellent first impression and was able to work around my limited schedule.   Guys showed up within the allotted time frame and performed the work as requested.  Both gentlemen were very professional and left my house cleaner than when they came.  
I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Their pricing is fair, and the guys are honest and professional (they saved me from grossly overpaying a chimney outfit in Media for unnecessary work). I'm very satisfied with Wells and will use them again.

They were great. Very professional and were honest in said my chimney was very clean and I obviously didn't use it much (which we don't) so he didn't charge for a cleaning but did get the dead squirrel out which smelled awful. No complaints at all.

These guys were great. In every interaction I had, either in person or on the phone, the staff was always professional and helpful. The first contractor looked at all the possible problems inside the house and explained everything very clearly- because of how high my chimney is they had to send a second contractor to assess the outside, but setting up the second appointment was very easy, in fact they called me to set it up less than an hour after the 1st contractor left. The estimate was very reasonable and much less than what I had been quoted by a different contractor. The work was done on time and well. I would definitely use them in the future.

Here it is Monday morning, 6-30-14 and its 8:40 in the
morning and no one has called or showed up for the appointment. I called the
office, it rang for a long time before someone answered and asked me to hold
which was for about 2 minutes. When the man come back on the line, I explained
about my appointment time and how no call & no show. The man told me he
didn?t have me down for a time, just for the date. I advised him I was given a
time of between 8-8:30 he said not that?s not right they give a window of
between 8am and 12. The man was not nice, had a poor attitude and definitely
should not be speaking to customers on the phone. He acted like I was lying
about being told between 8 and 8:30. If this is the way your company speaks to
their customers on the phone I am surprised they are still in business. I told him 
that I would not be using their business for my needs and I would leave a review 
on Angie's List.
Response from WELLS & SONS CHIMNEY SERVICE

"(member name removed), I am the owner of Wells & Sons and want to personally apologize for the inconvenience and poor service from my staff. I assure you that I will ensure this does not happen again. Customer service and satisfaction is one of our highest priorities as you can see from most of our reviews. If there is anything I can do to rectify this please call me personally. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience. Avery Soderman"
