We just bought a house and wanted to have our air ducts and dryer vent cleaned. The company we…read moreoriginally hired to do both was, unfortunately, unable to clean our dryer vent because it's on the roof, but they recommended McDowell's. They were quick to respond and quickly scheduled us to clean our dryer vent. They showed us before and after photos, and we're so glad we had this service done! Our house is only 10 years old, but it looked like the vent had never been cleaned, and it was caked with lint! We will certainly use McDowell's for our dryer vent again (and we would use them for our chimney if we had one)!

Purchasing my current home and inquired about getting the chimney inspected and possibly cleaned…read more Home was 60 years old and oil furnance in use. Prior owners never had chimney cleaned or inspected. Met with Vince and upon inspection of chimney and the thimble connection access that was blocked off by cinder block wall recommend a demo of the wall and a stainless steel liner, and was given a quote. Got a couple more quotes in the spring and went with ChimneyTEK because of the inspection QUALITY and pricing of the quote. The demo work needed on the thimble connection threw off all quotes and given estimates from others that were pricey (sub out demo work) or poorly estimated (unnecessary add ins not needed). I called Vince SEVERAL times to discuss and go over the quote/work (not familiar with work involved and wanted to understand the what and why) each time Vince answered my questions and definitely had a better handle on the job (no subs) had experience on my thimble issue. Crew did a GREAT job, the demo work went better than I imagined. The stainless steel liner was really needed based upon seeing how blocked the thimble was 60-65% and all the soot removed from the chimney prior to installing the liner. This job was a learning experience for me and the job went a lot smoother than I anticipated (did not know what to expect). Proof of insurance also provided before job started. GREAT JOB! Highly recommended this company A+++

So I woke up early, and no call at 7:30. Am hour later I end up calling them to see what's going on and they didn't seem to know, but reached out to the tech who ended up calling me and telling me they were about 45 min away. The office is only 45 min from my house, so don't know what's up with that. Next the 2 techs showed up and cleaned 1 chimney and we're here about 1.5 hours. Then they told me they were deeming my chimney unfit for use and gave me an estimate for a new liner at 7k. the sighted several issues. The first the there was to much creosote, and looking at the pictures i remember thinking , if they had worked a little longer they could have done a better job. Then they said my fire box needed to be re-shaped or it would cause smoke to come into my house. All the years i've lived here, i've had raging fires all winter long and not once had smoke coming into my house. The tech also noticed where i repaired some of the mortar in the fireplace and said 'whoever did that used the wrong mortar and it would have to be re-done'. Little did he know I did and used fireplace morter that i purchased at a fireplace/chimney store (still have the can it came in) In conclusion it felt like I was at a car dealership and these guys work on commission. I only used them because the regular chimney service I use every year to clean my chimney was unavailable this week and I needed it done because i'm going out of state for awile. I will not be using Chimneytek's service ever again.

I've never been…read moredisappointed--always receiving the highest quality of product, exemplary service and professionalism--all with a personal touch. I purchased a grill from Fireside, which is still going strong after many years. Fireside installed our spectacular 2500 square foot patio, completing it under the scheduled time table. And that's just on the personal side. Tom and Fireside have also done 2 gas fireplace installs complete with stunning stone work, handsome mantels, and custom hearths--one in an office, and in a lobby for my business/organization. They each "make" the room and are the centerpiece for gathering. Integrity. Quality. Personableness. Professional. Prompt response. Fair price. High value. That has been my experience with Tom Gross & Fireside. I'll never go anywhere else.

However, Cole and Mike had it working in about 10 minutes. They then cleaned the fireplace. Cole took the entire fireplace apart and cleaned every inch of it, inside and out, even the logs! I didn't realize how dirty the fireplace was until I saw it clean! It now works, and looks great. I would recommend Fireside Stone and Patio to anyone needing service.

(winter 2018) They gave us their availability, and came on time when they said they would. The problem took some diagnosing and a follow-up appointment to make sure that the venting of the chimney was corrected.They also did some insulating and that greatly helped with the down draft of cold air that had been pouring in from the fire-place. Meaghan was very helpful in instructing us in how to use the fireplace, since we had never had gas logs in any of our previous houses. Everyone from Complete Chimneys was completely friendly and professional. The price was fair, reasonable, and close to the original estimate. I highly recommend Complete Chimneys, and would certainly use them again.

He was thorough, professional, w great attention to detail, communicative, and went the extra mile to make sure it worked perfectly. He also explained to me how to work it. Last time I had a repair company come it was OK but not great. John Golden, did an excellent job. You can trust him to get it right. I had to wait a month to get in but it was worth it. I have used my gas fireplace, almost every day since it's been cold. There is no burning smell. It's very clean. It's very quiet. The flame level is perfect, and it's keeping the room warm.

Be CAREFUL! Very friendly owner has apparently retired. Now…read morethe fireplace Chimney.com sold has failed after just 2 seasons. The problem is not our pilot or gas, it's the solenoid gas valve part that Chimney.com installed. (A master plumber has identified the issue 100%, but doesn't do gas repairs.) Since the whole device is controlled by remote, we know we did not break it--we never touched it ever, but the like-new fireplace did not come on this year. We were charged full price for the unit, which should have lasted for many years. Now Chimney.com is now wanting another $300 just two years later to repair. Paid a lot for a new unit. Chimney.com they says they are not responsible for quality of their products and will charge for labour to "evaluate" the issue. They act very folksy/ocal--until there's a problem, then they cut you loose. Be forewarned that you need to be lucky because they don't stand by their products sold. This feels scammy.

This incredible company provided the most exceptional service I have ever encountered. After…read moresearching Virginia, DC and Maryland for a reliable gas fireplace seller/installer, I was referred to Tiffany and Jimmy. This company had every other beat in terms of price and service by a landslide. First, their prices are significantly lower than the competition as they have their own gas fitters and electricians. Most other companies contract out this work which adds a lot to the cost. They also have a beautiful showroom where you can see fireplaces before buying. Second, the service was unparalleled. Every single step was carefully explained and communicated. The technicians were on time, pleasant, careful, clean and skilled. It simply could not have been a better experience. This is a company that provides old-fashioned standards of excellence at incomparable prices. You will not be disappointed if you are lucky enough to do business with them. I consider it a tremendous stroke of luck that I had the good fortune to find and work with them. I think you will, too.

We didn't realize the chimney had a large internal crack and would require a full replacement and relining. Chelsea's Chimney was fantastic from start to finish. The owner personally came out, inspected everything, and took the time to explain what was going on and reassure me that it could be fixed safely. That personal attention meant a lot during a pretty scary situation. After paying the deposit, they moved quickly, within a week we had an entirely new chimney system installed along with a new cap. The work included removing the old flue tiles and throat damper, installing a UL-listed stainless steel liner with a lifetime warranty, insulating the flue, parging the smoke chamber, and installing a new top tile and top-closing damper system. Everything was clearly explained as they worked, which I really appreciated. The total cost was $5,400, which felt very fair for the amount of work, quality, and peace of mind we received. The craftsmanship looks great, and we now feel confident using our fireplace safely. Highly recommend Chelsea's Chimney if you want knowledgeable professionals who stand by their work and keep you informed every step of the way.
