They did exactly what they were suppose to do. Inspection before work was very carefully done and well documented. The sweep of inside on chimney was done and care was taken to keep everything clean. I was disappointed that work did not include a good cleaning of the inside open area of fireplace but I agree that description of a sweep does not include that.

They were on time, smart and informative without being overbearing, and performed their job professionally.  They even cleaned and repaired another problem I had while at the house.  I was impressed with their knowledge and professionalism.

They arrived a few minutes early, which was great! I had to stay home from work this morning in order to meet with them so it got me to the office a little earlier than I anticipated.  Before David stepped foot in the door, he covered his shoes in order to keep my floors clean.  He examined the fireplace itself, took some photos, and went to the roof to examine the top of the chimney as well.  When he was done, he came back inside to explain his findings and show me the photos.  He even recorded everything we discussed so I can share it with my husband later - it is really nice they do that because there is no way I could have remembered all of those details.  They will be emailing me suggestions on how to fix the chimney/fireplace (it needs to be completely replaced after improper initial installation and 25 years of total neglect).  I will definitely be using them to replace the entire system when we are financially prepared to do so.

Response from Chim Cheree, The Chimney Specialists
"Mr. [removed member name], I hope that you will call our office at (864) 895-4204 to set up an appointment for servicing your chimney. The Chimney Safety Institute of America and the National Fire Protection Agency recommend annual chimney inspections and chimney sweeping when necessary. Depending on the type of wood stove you have, it likely needs to be swept every year, at least. Some wood stove chimneys need to be swept multiple times each year to remove excess creosote accumulation. If your chimney was last serviced in 2011, it is not surprising that the flue has become obstructed with three years of use between sweepings. In checking our records, we can find no record of ever having serviced or inspected your chimney system. We have no record of ever having visited your address, although we have seen some of your neighbors. It seems like you may have confused us for somebody else. Please call our office and set up a chimney inspection. We will tell you more about your chimney than you ever wanted to know, and can certainly remove any obstructions in the chimney flue for you."

VERY well!  As I explained above, David was the utmost professional and paid great attention to details.  His summary session at the end of the day was very well done and supplemented with the pictures he had taken through the day.  He performed the work that was expected with the cost that was explained up front ... no surprises!



I would recommend everyone to use Chim Cheree's service and will use them again when needed!

Company was very punctual and professional.  All.carpet and furniture was covered and protected from the ash and chimney debris. Other than the cleanliness of the chimney and fireplace it was impossible to tell they had been here.  Cannot over emphasize how clean and efficient their service was. As a home owner, you felt comfortable having the .guys in our home.

Chim Cheree was incredibly professional and punctual. They provided a list of items that would be included in their preliminary report upfront, along with an accurate cost of work to be preformed. The service tech was great - very thorough with explanation of report and functions of chimney components. He gave us options ranging from basic to complete overhaul if we wanted to do any work to our chimney, but made sure we understood it did not this work immediately and was functioning acceptably. At the conclusion of the inspection, we scheduled a time for a flue cap to be installed the following week, which was completed without us having to be home and by all accounts was installed well.

Chim Cheree is a family operated business. They are very professional and pay attention to every detail.They did a great job and after installation, they went over operation instructions and answered any questions we had.  We will definitely use Chim Cheree in the future.

They cleaned chimney and installed a 'faux fireplace' system that was a fraction of the cost of making either fireplace fully functional.  Also installed new chimney cover on roof.
They showed up when expected, were very careful about not making messes (even though the house was already a mess!) and worked diligently, explaining everything clearly and thoroughly.
If we decide to invest the $10-15K to turn make fireplaces wood burning, we'd go with them; but after they set us up so nicely with a much cleaner and safer alternative with all the ambiance but none of the hassle, why would we? My husband and I continue this debate.
