The service that Black Goose offered was excellent. Their inspection was thorough and they caught a problem that several other companies had missed. You felt that they were treating the job like it was their own home. Will not hesitate to hire again.

Outstanding. First time that I have ever had a company that actually measured the airflow before and after the cleaning. Cleaned roof vent and the dryer vent pipe very thoroughly.
Response from Black Goose Chimney

"Thanks! We always measure air flow and back pressure in the system before and after the sweeping; it's part of our training for the national certification for servicing dryer ducts. The "after" reading will also give you a baseline for your next checkup. Your comments will also go into the personnel files for the technicians. Thanks again!!"

Awesome service! Dryer had been taking longer to dry for a while, to the point it took 2-3 cycles and still didn't dry. Technicians were extremely prompt, actually earlier than promised, and took plenty of time to diagnose the problem with backflow and air speed meters, could actually see the difference before and after. Had a major blockage--pegged the backflow meter and only 400 ft/min, ended up with less than .2 backflow and over 1400 ft/min. Very generous with time and advice. First batch of clothes dried in less than one cycle, working like a brand new dryer! Don't know why I waited so long, extremely pleased with the service, would definitely hire again.

It went perfect. The two men were ahead of time by 5 minutes. I welcomed them and showed them the inside dryer location and the outside dryer vent location. They set right to work. Following their inspection and cleaning they explained that part of my problem was the dryer was too close to the wall vent. So when they moved the dryer back into position they had placed bricks (from my extra supply in the yard) so the dryer would not be too close to the back wall. Both young men very polite and took great care with the job. They were here less than 45 minutes. GOOD JOB.

They arrived on time and conducted a thorough inspection of the chimney inside the house and on top of the second story roof. The guys were friendly, knowledgeable and didn't recommend any unnecessary work. They provided me with pictures of all of the areas they inspected.

The inspector could not find the cause of the leak, but suspected it was due to some caulking that needed to be replaced. So, they did some re-caulking.

Showed up on time, every time. Installers were very professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. Installers went above and beyond the install of the insert and repaired a leaky flash that had separated from chimney bricks. The woodstove showed up with a couple defective/damaged parts from the manufacture, Black Goose called while on-site, parts were shipped from the manufacture in a timely manner and installed. Scheduling an appointment and showing up or arriving on time is a rare commodity in our area, I have nothing but high praise for their commitment in meeting these obligations.

I would recommend Black Goose Chimney Sweep to anyone needing Chimney Work.

It went well, they put a cover over the top of the chimney incase of rain while the new pan/cap was being made. (it was a rainy period) As soon as weather permitted they came out and completed the job. I had the choice of galvanized or stainless steel. I picked stainless steel.
Response from Black Goose Chimney
