CHIMNEY SWEEP: I was a full time chimney sweep for 36 years but have now semi-retired and am willing to consult and inspect your chimney system. I still sweep and do minor repairs. It's going to cost $95- $125 to come out and inspect, sweeping is usually $100 -$150 more.

I had Mr. Blume come out to sweep my chimney on a wood stove that had been professionally installed a few years ago only for him to tell me the chimney support was not installed right and I needed to have it reworked and some other things done. He charge me a $125 service call and was going to get back to me with an estimate on what it would cost to do this. He never got back to me. I feel totally taken advantage of and ripped off!!!!!! I'm a widow on a fixed income which he knew.
Response from BLUME, THE MERRY SWEEP
"I'm pretty sure I did send her a price on what needed to be done... it might have been a couple of weeks though .... tough time for me back in 2019. Also, I was at her house 10/23/2019. Just looked back and I emailed her a price on Nov. 5th and never heard back."

Although very nice and responsive to our request for a quote, we chose to go with another company since his cost for the inspection was not specific, and we are working within a specific budget. We would consider for future services though.

Chimney inspection- sweep not needed.  Gave good info on future upgrades
of fireplace but no hard sell and actually advised us to wait until
spring when prices would drop.
No major issues.  Took a while between contact and appointment, but was his busy season and not urgent on our part.
Compared to other areas of the country, the fee for a sweep if needed  (around 300) would be a bit high, but seems par for the course in this area.

It took a few days for him to call me back. Very straight forward but pleasant to deal with. Arrived right on time for his appointment. Got right to work. Explained exactly what he would be doing and provided detailed report upon completion. Price was a little lower than originally quoted. I'd use his services again and gladly recommend him to others.

After playing phone tag for a few weeks (he was always prompt in returning my calls and extremely friendly in his messages), we scheduled an appointment time.  He was prompt and extremely informative.  He was thorough with his inspection and provided recommendations through out his review.
The communication is always clear and honest.  We felt valued and understood.  He never seemed rushed (although he has a very active business).
We enjoyed working with this provider and would certainly use him in the future!

This is a follow up to an earlier review where Mr. Blume came out and reviewed the issues we were having with the chimney. 

Mr. Blume is a very down to earth business professional who gave us a full recap of the services he provided when he finished his work and took the time to answer our questions before requesting payment.  Payment was for the amount agreed on for the repairs and the damper with the handle was included at cost.  Our front top step was repaired at no cost without us requesting the repair. We are very pleased with his work and recommend him highly.
