"If you want to wait around all day, rescheduling plans and not getting the expected service, schedule with this company. BUT IF YOUR TIME IS IMPORTANT DON?T BOTHER. They are completely unreliable and unprofessional. 3 times in a week I was scheduled and then rescheduled for a chimney cleaning and inspection and 4 times they failed to show up!!! At least in the first 3 instances I received a text indicating they were not coming about 1 ½ hours into the scheduled timeframe and they would come later in the day or another day but the 4th time they didn?t show up or notify me they were not coming to do the job. When I called the office on Friday, 12/27 at 6:19 pm to find out when they would arrive, I was told they were done for the day. The employee, Lucas, had no answer as to why they didn?t show up or call to cancel. The supervisor, Stephanie, also had no idea why the technician didn?t show up or call. One would think that when they rescheduled me on 12/19 and again on 12/20 due to"
