They arrived right at the beginning of the time slot. They repaired all three crowns with new mortar, then sealed them plus the top crown. They wire brushed the chimney and applied a sealant on the whole chimney. Since I did not obtain any other bids for this work, I have no idea how good or bad the price is, thus the B grade for price. They have done prior work for me and have cleaned my chimney for years so I trust them. Workers were friendly and polite and cleaned everything up when they were done.

Workers arrived in their scheduled time slot and completed the job in less than a half hour. Made no mess in the house and cleaned up very thoroughly. They were friendly and polite and followed all COVID precautions.

The vendor recommending replacing cap and sealing the brick. They performed the work with little or no impact on the leak. When I called back, the repeated the sealing. Again, little or no effect. The third time they recommended I call a "water leak specialist". I hired the vendor to stop the leak. They did not stop the leak, but were happy to charge for the work they did.

Jud and team were extremely professional and set proper expectations that since this was an outdoor job, we would need to "play it by ear" in terms of weather. We scheduled the repairs and got the reminder call a couple days prior that everything was a "go". Everything was completed on time and per the scope of work. I would highly recommend The Chimney Specialists and would use them again to service our other rental homes.

It went great. It was quick and easy to get the estimate and get scheduled. The work was performed on time and looks beautiful. Things were nicely cleaned up. Jud was even quick to get back to me, on several occasions, when I had questions.

Collin and his crew were fabulous. They were punctual, called ahead, and consistently courteous. I felt comfortable having them in my home. They inspected the chimney and gave us an estimate for the repairs. We booked our repair appointment with the office and they were back the next week. The masonry, dampener and cleaning took about two hours. Due to rain it needed to be wrapped to set, so the crew returned a couple of days later and gave it a final look over. Collin showed us how to work the new dampener and shared tips on warming the flue to prevent smoke blowing back before leaving us to enjoy our functioning chimney. If we'd had the grate etc. he would've liked to set a fire for us. Our fireplace and chimney dried up really well with all the fires. In February I noticed one side of the fireplace had dripping water. When discussing the wrk originally, Collin had said they'd seal it all up. I took that to mean the whole chimney had been waterproofed, so I called and asked for help. Collin and the owner came the next day and had a thorough look. Apparently the heavy rains were causing water to pool on the stepped sides of our brick chimney, and that was causing the seepage. A normal issue. The sealant was on the flashing etc.. Upshots? I learned more about how chimneys work, received awesome after care and needed no further work. Chimney Specialists are professionals who care about the quality of their craft and the happiness of their customers. They have earned long term customers here. I wholly recommend them to you.

Toby and Johnny came to clean the dryer vent. They did an excellent job. They are fast, friendly, thorough, and care about doing a job well. Chimney Specialists has excellent customer service--easy to contact, show up when they say they will. Wes and Johnny even went under my house to fix part of my dryer vent that fell down and fastened it so it would not happen again--all this at no additional charge. I used them in the past and gave them a good review then also for excellent chimney cleaning. This is a great company to hire.

Very punctual and polite.  Worked me in for a last-minute sweep right before Thanksgiving. Pricing was markedly less than other sweep companies I spoke with.

The two guys arrived on time. The chimney was swept from the inside. The chimney was also inspected from the roof, and no problems were noted. The entire process took about 15 minutes. I've never had this type of work done before, so for the cost and duration, it seemed over-priced. There was also very little dirt that came down during the sweeping. It also felt like the guys, while they were very efficient, were in a hurry.

Prior to the repair work, an estimator came over and gave us all the details regarding the work that needed to be done to repair our chimney.  The person who did the repair work did an excellent job.  We're extremely happy with the work that was done!  We definitely would recommend this company to anyone who needs work done on their chimney.

They get an A. I only work with the A team. I'd call them back but I don't know that I am going to have to because everything seems to work fine and those logs last a long time.
