They took a while to come out and do the work. First appointment was in December and no one showed or called. Second appointment for inspection was in January. Then they said they would come out to do the work and it took them another 3 weeks. In that time they were also looking for a new fireplace screen for us. Could not find what we needed so came out and sealed the chimney as requested. They came in and did the work and we felt did an honest job.

Due to bad weather, the first appointment didn't happen. Unfortunately, I had to call back to reschedule; no one called me to let me know the service person wasn't coming nor did anyone call to reschedule. Other than that, the service person was knowledgeable and helpful.

It rained on first scheduled appointment, but no one called to say that the appointment would be rescheduled. I had to call again -- there was no follow up on their part.

Called when en route as requested and was on time. Due to circumstances, had to schedule a return trip to finish the job and this occurred within two days. Very happy they returned so quickly. Very professional, fast, and courteous (Much appreciated!) Quality of work was very good. Overall, very satisfied! Would hire again.

Called to let me know he was on his way and was very prompt. Very professional and polite. Did a very good job. No mess. Black Goose installed a new wood stove for me last year with a new chimney liner. They are a very reputable company. Would recommend them to my friends and will definitely use them again. Ben did the job at my house.

Went fairly well. They put a lot of pressure on the "upsale". Trying to get me to do a lot more than I was willing to do with the chimneys. They did good, clean work. They were a bit later than they said, but I wasn't too annoyed that day. 
I've found a different company to clean chimneys since. They are a little bit more down to earth, and don't put pressure on me to spend more money with them.

Black Goose came out in early Oct to review, inspect and clean two chimneys.  We never had caps on either chimneys.  They recommended Stainless Steel caps and could order/instal these for $210 each.  While there are lesser expensive options (galvanized metal); these types of caps are around the cost of caps ordered from Home Depot/Lowes.  The caps took about 2 weeks to come in - but the provider came back and installed.  Caps are as promised.  Chimneys were cleaned on first visit.  Team was professional and courteous.

They are an excellent company to deal with and it was perfect. They were very professional and their recommendations are right on top. The price is reasonable. I would hire them every year to clean my chimneys.

It took a few days for Black Goose to call me back after initially calling their home office, but once they did everything went great.  The team that came out to my house were prompt and called when they were on their way to make sure I was available.  They took the time to inspect everything and explain to me what they were doing and why.  They used blankets to make sure that they were keeping everything as clean as possible when sweeping the chimney.  Overall they did a great job and I have already recommended them to by brother.

Needed the chimney swept, but had Chimney Swifts present. Educated us as to the laws with regard to these birds. Waited until the birds flew south, came back and swept the chimney, installed caps and repaired the chimney sealant up top. Very pleased. Schedule early if you're calling "in season". They are in demand.

After moving to the area in October 2012, into a house with gas logs in the fireplace and a gas stove ( both inoperable) in the basement, I was looking for a chimney sweep to inspect the flues and tell me if I could install a wood stove in the basement.  I found Black Goose Chimney Sweep on the internet and it was clear from John Briscoe's web site http://www.blackgoose.net/ that he was a certified chimney sweep and someone who was going to provide knowledgeable advice and safe, thorough services.
On his first visit he swept and inspected both flues, he determined that the flue to the basement could be used for a wood stove.  He advised on a wood stove based on our room/home size and intended use of the stove.  Since the flue was located in a sheetrock wall, he let us know that we needed a zero clearance thimble for safe installation.  After thinking about it a few days we ordered a Hampton H200 stove from John.
He ordered the parts and stove, installed all on 21 December and our house is now much warmer and cozier feeling than what we get with our primary heat pump heating system.  He did an excellent job of installing and his crew put on our new chimney cap to prevent any breakdown in the mortar on the top of the chimney.
Highly recommend Black Goose for chimney, fireplace, and wood stove or insert services.
