The provider arrived on the scheduled day, calling ahead to confirm the time.  They provided a good inspection of the roof and chimney from an animal control perspective.  Additionally, they found a small issue and quickly repaired.  Their representative was both courteous and knowledgeable.  

Fixed my problem and was very professional

I thought long and hard about this review and what to write.  I was pleased with the way the owner of the company resolved the problems I had with this job, but there were some bumps.  The first part of the job went well, and they removed the raccoons quickly and effectively.  They also made and installed a nice new chimney cap and Josh, the worker, cleaned my chimney very well.  My problems came with the cricket they did for the roof near my chimney.  This work was performed by another person, according to the company.  When it was done, there was no flashing on the sides of the chimney, as was explained to me.  I had to wait about a week for that to be done and when it was, it was completely wrong and very unsightly.  The sealant looked as if it was simply squeezed out of a tube and no smoothing was done at all.  It was awful.  I took pictures and sent them to the worker with whom I first dealt, Josh, who promised me it would be resolved.  The owner, Tony, did eventually look at the work and agreed it was badly done.  He did make sure it was fixed and did not press me for payment, which I said I would not make until I was satisfied with the work.  All in all, despite that one bump, I was pleased with the work.  I would recommend the company to others, but if roof work or flashing of any kind is done, get photos of the finished product and make sure it's done well.

Unknown to us, a mother skunk was apparently raising her young in a pocket under our slab caused by erosion.  The mother was wounded by a dog and died in the burrow, leaving four babies roaming our front lawn.  When they did not move on after several days, we sought a removal service.  We tried C&W Specialist because the service we used for a previous incident was unreasonably priced.
A 2-man crew arrived promptly (not over 24 hours) after we called and set live traps for the babies.  Trapping took a couple of trips because the traps didn't close on the very lightweight animals.  Finally, two were in the trap, one died, and a fourth was still at large.  Returning, C&W captured the loose baby and removed all live skunks to an animal rehabilitator.
On a third trip, they removed the remains of the adult skunk from the burrow, and surrounding soil, then mixed cement to fill the cavity.  They explained that odors left by the resident skunks would make this place a target for digging and home-making by other animals in the future if only filled with dirt.
They sprayed chemical deodorizer,  and offered to return to spray more if the odor lingers after a couple of days.

Went fine.  The chimney sweep explained everything he did and made some suggestions for the future.

Tony Darrah responded and found a couple of small areas of concern. He applied additional sealers. Waited a couple of days and returned to check effectiveness of sealants. After spraying water all over cricket and chimney area, it appears that water leak has been corrected. I'm very satisfied with all the work that Tony & Josh has performed. I will continue to use them and to recommended to others.

Carlos was very punctual and knew what he was doing.  He even came back to check on a holiday to make sure everything was OK.  I would definitely recommend this business to anyone with an animal/wildlife issue in their home.

Unfortunately, the worker closed up the drain for my AC unit, not realizing what it was.  I found out when my AC stopped working properly, and I had to call the company that maintains my system to come out. They found the stopped up drain and removed the foam that was used to close it. Other than that, the service from Chimney and Wildlife Specialists was very good.

They worked out okay.
