Steve's Sweep

GREAT job -- nice guy who saw that the cleaning didn't need to happen but a couple of things did need fixing; he fixed them and charged me LESS than the original quote for cleaning out the chimney.

Great! Chimneys did not need cleaning except for animal that had fallen down one and died. Chimneys meet code. Steve charged only for the services performed. Thanks! :-)

I needed to make sure all the chimneys had caps and needed to find out more about a damper or sealing one of them off because hot air was coming into the main living area. He gave a good recommendation and encouraged me not to seal it off because then it would never be usable. Instead, he placed a piece of think insulation on the inside ledge to hold me over until I could get a fireplace door to keep the hot air blocked off. He was honest and could've found ways to gouge me, but he didn't. I highly recommend Steve of Steve's Sweep. He is honest, dependable, punctual, knowledgeable and reasonably priced.

was booked, but made an opening for me. Called to let me know he was on the way.

The work was done efficiently, and the service was excellent. I'd hire Steve's Sweep again in a heartbeat.

It went very well! He had every opportunity to try to upsell me with repairs or extra services, but instead kept telling me how good everything looked! I'm definitely using him for another cleaning and inspection in 4-5 yrs!!

Great job, professional and prompt. Very neat and tidy.

Great xxxxxx

Outstanding! Very nice and professional! Extreme attention to detail! I wish all of my contractor experiences went half this well.

Steve and his helper arrived early and got to work right away. Both men were very polite and respectfully of our home. They even made sure the cat would not be frightened by the vacuum used to clean up the ash and soot. Unlike the sweep we had look at the chimney before and wanted $2800 to repair the chimney that didn't need repairing, he charged $250 for all his serve.

It was a wonderful experience. The guys were here on time and worked hard to repair my chimney and fireplace. Removed fireplace mortar left there from the prior homeowner and restored the fireplace to full functionality. They also repaired holes in the flashing around my chimney. Although we're planning on gas logs for the fireplace, if we decided to stick with woodburning, we would definitely stick with the guys at Steve's Sweep.

There was no charge because there wasn't anything to clean.

Everything went really well and efficiently. They had some time earlier than my scheduled appointment and called to see if I was available. Steve explained what he was doing and answered all of my (many) questions. Both men that came were friendly and professional.

I appreciate that he did this rather than drive 1.5 hours RT and charge me $65 to spend 1 minute to light my fireplace for the season.

I called because our chimney had been leaking and our smoke guard had fallen. As it turns out, we needed 3 chimney caps. Steve told us he could put them on, but it would be much cheaper to go to Home Depot and do it ourselves. He completely cleaned our fireplace and left everything neater than I think it was in the first place. He and his assistant, Eddie, are so nice and told us exactly what we needed to do the chimney caps. Overall, they gave us excellent service, and we'd definitely use them again if we had a problem or for regular maintenance.

I have to agree with the reviewer before me that wished all the people we hire could be like Steve.
       He was not only prompt but early , card in hand and introduced himself and his employee.
              He came inside and asked me to show him and describe where and how the water was leaking into my fireplace.
       He then went outside to inspect the chimney.  He showed me exactly where the leak was and that it was easily fixed. He also at that point told me exactly how much the work would cost.     No waiting until the end and being presented with some inflated bill.       His price in my opinion reflected his honesty in both the work he does and how he runs his business.
            He then came back inside to inspect the chimney area in the attic.   He found some area's to be sealed and fixed them too.
          He told me to please call if I have any questions or concerns.
           I am very happy with the job done and am very happy I checked out Angieslist before I hired someone.  His reviews are all good and I am happy to add to the list of happy customers.

Why can't they all be like Steve? He was 15 minutes early. It is sometimes difficult taking time off work and I very much appreciate it when a service provider is not only punctual, but a little early. He honored a quote he gave me nearly a year ago, to the penny. Offered great overall advice on deciding on whether to switch from gas to wood burning. Professional personality to boot. Would definitely use again. In a heartbeat. Very impressed.
