The Fireplace Whisperers!!! PHENOMINAL service on a very challenging installation! I cannot believe how beautiful it is... Beyond my wildest dreams!!! They lined the chimney with brand new, UL-listed vent up through the roof, installed the Victoran gas fireplace insert, re-assembled the BROKEN original slate surround (!), and installed all the GORGEOUS vintage hearth tile... Absolutely STUNNING!!! I am so smitten with this! 💗

We thought we might need a major repair to our 30 yo gas fireplace insert as it was intermittently turning itself off while we were using it. The technician, Ben, who came for the service, suggested that it may just need cleaning. He did that and it seems to be working fine now.
Response from Instant Chimney

"Thank you for your detailed review, Charles! We're pleased to hear that Ben was able to quickly diagnose and address the issue with your gas fireplace. Sometimes, a thorough cleaning is all that's needed to get things running smoothly again. If you encounter any further issues or have additional projects, we'd be delighted to assist you. Thanks for trusting us with your repair needs!"

Chimney Cleaning and Inspection
I was very pleased with the entire process. After the inspection, all of the issues were explained fully and everything was backed up with pictures. The repairs were performed as and when they were promised and once again pictures were used to prove the work was done. The price for the repairs was higher than I was expecting but the repairs were required and they were completed as promised. I also am a firm believer in the old saying -CHEAP AIN?T GOOD and GOOD AIN?T CHEAP. I was pleased with all phases of the job and would highly recommend Instant Chimney.

I hired someone to clean my fireplace. Instead of cleaning, they tried to sell me another gas fireplace with a remote. It is a nice idea if you have $2600. I just wanted my fireplace cleaned.

Tried Angi for the very first time ever for a full fireplace and chimney upgrade, top to bottom. Immediately was contacted by INSTANT CHIMNEY, whose very name gave me a chuckle. They had the last laugh, because they were absolutely incredible! They did everything right. They accepted my preferred schedule. They called ahead as requested and showed up on time. They assigned one expert worker to the inside fireplace and one to the outside chimney. They quickly sent before pictures to their office and in moments I was not only copied; but, was also given a detailed estimate of the entire project. Each line item included a fair price along with a full explanation of that item, as well as what that improvement would accomplish for our long-term benefit. It was the very best estimate format we have ever received for any of our many remodeling jobs over the years for a house we built in 1978. After approving the estimate over the phone, the two workers efficiently went to town. Within just two hours, as the sun was setting, they managed to completely rehabilitate a Hurricane Beryl damaged chimney from top to bottom, from the owl decoy mounted on top of the new chimney cap and crown all the way down to the floor of the renewed firebox. Next the office called and emailed the final invoice equalling the estimated price (with a 3% discount for payment by check), along with the after pictures documenting the improvements so that we did not even have to climb a ladder to verify that all the elements were completed. This whole process was so surgically seamless and professional that we not only rate it FIVE STAR PLUS, we rank it as our best first-time interaction with any service company - EVER! Sincerely and appreciatively, Chuck Blanks - Missouri City PS: the Instant Chimney website is thoroughly detailed and very informational

I had them out before Hurricane Beryl hit Houston. I sustained some leaks during the hurricane. Instant Chimney immediately returned after the storm and repaired the flashing that had blown away. I now have piece of mind that I will not experience a leak during the next storm. I would recommend Instant Chimney to anyone in need of fireplace/chimney repair!
Response from Instant Chimney

"Thank you, Ed, for your thoughtful review! We're glad we could promptly address the flashing repairs after Hurricane Beryl and provide you with peace of mind.
