SAFE CHIMNEY INC

Work requirement: Crown repair/replacement  on a chimney approximately 35 feet high.
I had 2 estimates for crown repairing/replacement ranging from $450.00 to $1200.00. The service provider for the low end estimate decided he could not do the job due to a lack of proper equipment. The provider of the high end quote accepted the work, but rescheduled the start time so many times that I called other providers for for estimates.
I spoke with Art Sanderson at Safe Chimneys on the phone and scheduled a time for a visit to do an estimate. He called me approximately an hour prior to the morning appointment to inform me he would not be able to make it on time and offered to reschedule later that day. He arrived promptly at the reschedule appointment time and provided a quote and start date.  His appearance was that of a hard working man and his demeanor was quite personable and professional.
Art called by phone a day prior to the start date to confirm when he would be arriving to start work.  He arrived on time, then he and his assistant erected scaffolding  to the top of the chimney as needed to do the work. It took about 1.5 days to complete scaffolding, crown prep, and rebuilding the crown. After consulting with Art it was decided to  allow the new crown 3-5 days to cure prior to applying the sealer. He returned on schedule and completed the job.
After each work day, the work area was left in an orderly manner, no sloppy treatment of my home environment. 
When contemplating engaging people for do work that I don't know much about I'm always worried about finding someone trustworthy to do good work at a fair and reasonable price.  Dealing with Art at Safe Chimneys was probably one of the best experiences I have had in this regard.
