We had an excellent experience. The representative was very responsive, punctual and professional. They thoroughly cleaned our chimney and discovered that there were cracks. They gave us a quote on site and scheduled to come back and repair the cracks. They arrived as scheduled and repaired the cracks a week later. Also, they noticed that there were some bricks that had fallen from the front of our home and addressed it. They explained that by having this hole in our home this could potentially become a big issue if any critters were to go in. We asked them to give us a quote on the work that needs to be done and we are still working with them to resolve the issue. The representative was very personable and very nice. We will use their services again in the future.
Description of Work: We had our chimney cleaned and cracks repaired.

Very punctual , he called several days ahead to confirm appoitment and the call day of appointment as a reminder. When vacumning the chimmney he was extremely careful and placed drop cloths around as to catch anything coming from the chimney that the vacumn didn't get. He was very informative and extremely outgoing.
Description of Work: Brushed and vacumned inside of Chimney. Inspected the inside , went up on the roof checked the cap and while he was up on the roof , notice the shingles at the base of chimney did not have sealent. So he applied sealent Very punctual , called ahead to confirm date and called before coming out. Very neat and took every precaution to insure soot did not blow out of chimney onto furniture.

He was honest and didn't charge me for services I didn't need. He recommended stores where I could buy updated chimney inserts and offered to pick up the products to install.
Description of Work: He inspected my gas fireplace insert, inspected and cleaned the chimney, checked chimney vents on the roof, checked for critters. The seal around the chimney was not done properly so he fixed that. He looked at a couple of other roof vents. He discussed areas of the roof that could attract critters. I purchased a Big Deal through this compny that was $89 for a Chimney Sweep, Safety Inspection, and Wildlife Intrusion Evaluation.

It went very well. The chimney sweep called me twice. I had been given a window of 9-11, and he told me it would be closer to 11. When he was ready to come to my house, he called again and gave me an approximate arrival time. The chimney sweep was courteous and professional. He did the job quickly and effeciently and did not make a mess of any kind.
Description of Work: The chimney called to let me know when he was on his way. He came in and introduced himself and explained what he would be doing. After putting down a tarp to protect my floor, he brought his equipment in and began the inspection and cleaning. When he was finished, he gave me a report on the condition of my chimney and pointed out a crack he had found upon inspection. He said that fixing the crack was not an urgent matter, but something we should look into fixing the next time we had our chimney cleaned.

The technician was puntual and professional. He worked quickly and informed me what he was doing. I appreciated the advice he gave me on how often to have these services performed and his friendly disposition. I ended up having a bird's nest in my dryer vent! He was able to put a cage over the outside vent to prevent the problem in the future. It was an additional $50 which I thought was rather expensive, but I wanted to have it taken care of immediately-which he was able to do. The cage is just a little plastic basket with a door that is screwed onto the side of the house.
Description of Work: I had my dryer vent cleaned and my chimney cleaned with a special for $175, then I needed a cage put over the dryer vent which cost $50.

I was impressed with the contact from the company. On the day of the original appointment, the scheduler called to let me know that it would be closer to the end of the "wait time" before the sweep would get to my house. I appreciated this because no one likes to wait and wonder. When the sweep got there, I explained that I seldom used real wood, but the Duraflame logs and occasionally the kind of log that is supposed to help keep the chimney clean, but that I hadn't had it cleaned in many years. It took no time for him to complete the job, and he commented that the log did help keep it clean. As an afterthought, I asked if he could help me determine the type of key needed to use the gas pipe since I had mistakenly thrown away the wrong key when the gas pipe was replaced. He went to his truck and had a key that worked. So now I can use my gas pipe. I was impressed with how clean he left the fireplace and how quickly he was able to complete the job.
Description of Work: I purchased a service for a chimney sweep. I was contacted within a day to set up the appointment. I checked N/A for punctuality because the original appointment had to be rescheduled due to the chimney sweep having an unexpected .

It was excellent. Jack called within hours of my buying the coupon and we set up an appointment. He arrived promptly and did a thorough inspection. Since no cleaning was necessary, he applied the $89 to the work that did need doing. He gave me an estimate, which was exactly what he ended up charging, and we set up an appointment for the work. Again, he arrived promptly and put a cap on top of the chimney and packed the lintel, the area where the fireplace meets the chimney, to fireproof it. He was efficient and friendly. I'd use him again.
Description of Work: I had a chimney inspection and cleaning coupon from Angie's list. After Jack inspected it, he said It didn't need cleaning, but it needed a cap and some fireproofing in the fireplace, which he did.

I purchased a coupon on your site and the company called me very quickly thereafter to set up an appointment. I believe the person who came to my house was the owner of the Austin division. He found a crack in the back wall of the chimney but told me how I could order a replacement part myself and save me money. He would then come back and install it himself if I wanted him to. In case, I wanted to install it on my own, he showed me how. I plan to have him order it and install it at some future date. I trusted him fully and appreciate his honestly.
Description of Work: Cleaned my chimney and inspected it for damage. He conducted a thorough review of the fireplace and chimney for issues and then cleaned out the fireplace.

He was really nice, he took time to answer questions and explain things out because there was terminology about the chimney that I didn't know and my wife didn't know either. My wife said he took a lot of time with talking about all the different things and making her feel comfortable with talking about the chimney and making a good informed decision about it. He called beforehand just to verify the time and he was very polite on the phone and said he would likely be early instead of later and that was fine with us.
