"We love the fireplace. The guys were professional and quick, and when the fireplace needed service they were responsive and got everything back up and running great."

"The technician arrived late and I needed to follow up with office to make sure I had the right expectation, which I did, and then shortly after he called me to let me know he was on the way. Not really too big a deal since he was about 45 minutes later than his window. My gas fireplace was not lighting properly and the pilot light would go out periodically. At the end of last winter I shut off the gas for safety reasons. I called Chimney Cricket because of the recommendations of Angies list, they have all A's. The technician was professional and did an inspection of the situation and components, he checked the remote starter and ended up changing all batteries. The remote was not "connecting" and the fire would not start. Shortly after the fire seemed to start on its own. The technician continued to assess the situation but eventually made the assessment, because he could not determine definitively the manufacturer of the log set and the apparent randomness of the fire starting, that I should completely replace all components of the fireplace. In follow up emails he was going to check into the situation further and get back to me on some recommendations, I did not hear back after more than a week so I went to the local fireplace shop (Chadds Ford Fireside Shop) to buy a whole new set. The shop salesman really questioned me and doubted that I would need to spend 2,000+ on a complete new set up including the chimney inspections and installation. He recommended that I spend another fee for "their" guy to come and have a look. I was not at all interested in paying another inspection fee, I argued with the salesman about how a professional had already assessed everything and that his guy was going to find the same, but I relented after the owner of the shop realized through our conversation that his shop had installed this fireplace and all components just 6 years prior. So the new chimney Technician came out today and after checking everything essentially pushed a reset button on the remote receiver to re-sync the remote transmitter and receiver. Now the fireplace is working fine again, he also cleaned the components and pilot light. I'm writing this review because 1) the price was very high for the service received (The other technician who fixed my remote today was MUCH more reasonable). 2) Chimney Cricket didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know. 3) For a technician who has been in the gas log fireplace business for 30+ years I don't understand why he didn't know to try pushing the reset button. 4) He ended up fixing nothing, he did not fully follow up to give me recommendations and aside from an honest Fireplace shop owner who was more interested in getting my fireplace working vs making a new sale I would have spent 2,000+ for a new set up."

"Great. Is my fireplace lit immediately?"

"The person who came was very knowledgeable and friendly. He did a great job and he was nice. I ended up needing help with the electrical switch on the fireplace. We are very satisfied with them."

"Al was fantastic! He clearly explained that my fireplace was shutting off as a safety feature due to low oxygen levels. He also reassembled the logs in the firebox and showed me the proper way to start and stop the fireplace. Highly recommend his service!"

"Michael was very attentive and thorough in inspecting our fireplace and chimney to confirm what kinds of repairs would be needed prior to him providing an estimate. We recently just moved into this house so didn't know what condition the fireplace was in but glad we gave him a call prior to lighting it. He answered all my questions thoroughly and patiently. Our conversation alleviated a lot of the concerns I had about what would be needed to ensure safe use of the fireplace. From our conversation, I was able to confirm he took great pride in his work. I would recommend him to anyone looking to get their chimney and fireplace inspected."

"Boy if you're looking for masonry work - end your search here. From the first inquiry to the completion of our project, they were responsive, respectful and do great work! They cleaned up any mess, they even rinsed my driveway. This is how it is supposed to be. We added a full fireplace wall of brick veneer and we couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you to the entire crew at Disciple!"

"I had Chimney Swift LLC out to clean and inspect my wood-burning fireplace, and I couldn't be happier with the service. From start to finish, they were professional, thorough, and respectful of my home. They took the time to explain what they were doing, showed me before-and-after photos of the flue, and even gave me tips for maintaining the fireplace safely throughout the season. The inspection was very detailed, and I appreciated how honest they were (no upselling) just genuine care for safety and performance. I feel so much better knowing everything is in great shape before winter hits. Highly recommend them if you're looking for reliable, knowledgeable chimney professionals!"

"The guys did a great job putting up my new chimney and closing off the old one etc. I would recommend them for the job."
