The service team was quick, efficient and professional.
Description of Work: When they came out for the inspection and estimate, they explained everything they found, what the necessary work would be and why. They gave a written estimate and were faithful to that quote. Points of entry to our attic were sealed off and traps set for the squirrels. They went under the house to set mouse traps and filled in entry points along the side of the house. They also put out stations around the perimeter of the house. They came back to remove squirrels from the traps twice. It has been two weeks since service and we have no further evidence of the squirrels in the attic.

I purchased the Deal for 99.00, I was expecting a professional to come to my home to clean and inspect my chimney, but what I got was a gentleman that came to my home in an unmarked white pick up, with no ladder, he said that he would be bring in equipment into the house to clean out the chimney. He went outside and returned with a hose and vacuum cleaner, he was in the house no longer 15 minutes and he did not provide an invoice or spend any time explaining his process. My daughter was representing me, due to the fact that I had to work and was running late, she is a responsible adult over thirty years old. I could not rate the quality of the service due to the fact that he seem to have only cleaned the visible surface, based on the amount of time and effort that he put into explaining his process, his total time spent in my home was approx 15 minutes.

This company did clean the chimney, but without them taking the top off (which I thought they would do), I can't really tell how good of a job they did, nor could I tell the condition of the chimney. They did recommend some new gas logs, which I agree are needed, but they weren't very knowledgeable about the product. They also recommended a sealant for the bricks above the roof line, which I also agree was needed.

He came on time, cleaned and inspected my fireplace & chimney, inside and out, cleaned up and left. He seemed very honest. Didn't try to sell me anything even said the chimney was pretty clean and probably didn't need to get it cleaned as often as I had, if I kept using it as seldom as I had in the past. I would definitely recommend him.
Description of Work: He cleaned my chimney and inspected it inside and out. Was very honest, professional, neat, punctual, and polite. Would definitely use him again.

Tech called ahead with estimated arrival time. When he arrived, introduced himself and stated what he was scheduled to do that day. He proceeded to set up his equipment and start working. I left the room while he worked. I could, however, hear the equipment running. Tech then went outside to inspect chimney exterior and interior. Cleaned up the fireplace and hearth area. Gave me a report of condition. Made recommendations for needed equipment plus other items that would make the fireplace more efficient to use. Provided a written estimate for the various equipment.
Description of Work: Cleaned & inspected chimney; inspected fireplace; recommended products for chimney cap and for items to make the fireplace more efficient. Gave an estimate for the various recommended products.

It was a good experience. He was very professional. He was very clean. He brought plenty of equipment to clean everything to make sure he didn't get soot everywhere. He cleaned everything up really good. He vacuumed up the inside of the box and everything. It was good.

Exceptional - the company was professional, courteous and very knowledgable. I'd refer them any time, any day.
Description of Work: Jack, the district manager, came to the house; listened to my concerns; performed the safety inspection; went on the roof; fired up the fireplace and then talked to me about what he found. He was awesome and the peace of mind it gave my wife and I was absolutely outstanding. Thanks for the great service.

He did a good job. He was on time. He came in and told me what we needed, it wasn’t that much. We had some questions. We had a gas starter in our fire place and we were wondering what it would take to turn it into a gas fireplace instead of wood burning. He took the time to explain in detail what needs to be done. We could hire him for it but it wasn’t that hard. He told us, when it would probably be better if we did it ourselves. It is not worth to have somebody do it. We were impressed that he wasn’t out to make a buck. He was there to provide the best service and give us the best deal which we appreciated.

Very Pleased. I would use them in the future, and recommend to you.
Description of Work: They did an excellent job. Very prompt, and clean. The technician Jack inspected the chimney top and took pictures of the chimney chase to inform us of some items that would need attention soon. There was an Angie special coupon that honor without question. Overall, I was very pleased and would recommend to you.

Overall everything went well. During the phone call to schedule the appointment, I was given a time frame of arrival, name of the person who would be coming, and instructions for prep work prior to the appointment. Ben arrived a bit ahead of schedule (good). He was friendly, courteous and professional - described in detail what he would be doing. He kept me informed through the whole process. Luckily for me the fire place and chimney are in good condition. And there were no "critters". I highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: Visual inspection of fireplace and chimney. Cleaning of chimney, roof inspection of chimney, inspection for any possible "critters", and complete clean up afterward.

Ben arrived early, explained what he would be doing, got to work, and cleaned up when he was finished. He was polite and friendly and seemed to know a lot about different types of chimneys, flues, and dampers. He vacuumed before he left so that I not only had a clean chimmey, but a clean rug!
Description of Work: The chimney was swept and the flue, flashing, damper, and chimney were inspected.

VERY PROFESSIONAL! The gentleman came in and covered the whole area in front of the chimney. Had all the proper tools at hand to check/clean the chimney. Advised us on keeping it clean, tho he did say that we had a very clean chimney. Reported there were no areas where any animals could get in and everything looked great!

Overall, I was satisfied with the job that was done and the professionalism of the service person.
Description of Work: The young man that serviced the chimney was very careful to take care not to get anything dirty. He placed a large canvas tarp on the floor in front of the fireplace. He used a circular brush and some other brushes along with a vacuum as he cleaned the soot off the fireplace. He went on the roof and cleaned the chimney from the top inside the chimney. He inspected the chimney cover and reported that it was in good shape. Before he left, he cleaned up his materials and left. He was very pleasant and professional.

We purchased a rental home and wanted to be sure the woodburning fireplace and the dryer vent were safe for renters. Using Angies List we found this company at a fair price and well rated. We were not dissappointed! They were timely on the appointment time, careful in the house, and suprisingly clean (i thought it would be a mess!). Will use them again.

I recieved a return phone call right away when I left a message to schedule an appointment. Scheduling the appointment was easy and the tech. arrived on time. He inspected our chimney, then informed us that it was not dirty and did not need cleaning and offered us another service or to come back at a later date when the chimney had been used more. We were very impressed with his honesty. We had him clean our dryer vent instead, and he did a great job! I would use this company again, no question.
