If you're looking to have your chimney cleaned, keep looking. Chris vacuumed our fireplace and was done and charged us $200, total of less than 10 minutes time. When questioned about the chimney cleaning he said he does not climb up on roofs anymore. To call himself a Chimney Sweep is a fallacy. Find somebody else! Mary A. read more

My house was built 17 years ago by a very reputable builder in the area. At the time of building, I had a 25 year old woodburning stove installed, which was vented upwards through a high ceiling. The unit had been cleaned over the years and 6 years ago, after I got divorced, I had a chimney cleaner come out and he told me the unit should have been vented out the side because of the type of unit it was. He still got on the roof and checked things out, but charged me a $60 for coming out, even though he didn't do anything. I haven't used the unit since. Last year, I heard a bird in the pipe and it even got down into the stove and I had to rescue it. I've since heard other birds in there, so I reached out to A+ Chimney Sweep to have them clean the chimney and check the cap. I figured a second opinion wouldn't hurt and they can at least clean the chimney from the roof, even though I had no intention of going back to using the woodstove. Now, I admit I'm very naïve when it comes to chimney/fireplace stuff, but I totally feel taking advantage of as a single woman trying to have her home serviced. Chris came out and without going on the roof, told me that there is a cap on my chimney and there is nothing he can do about the birds, they can still get in. I told him what the previous guy told me about the stove inside and he agreed that it was poorly installed and he couldn't clean it, then he proceeded to tell me nothing could be done and he had to charge me the full $170 for coming out. When I showed my disbelief, he responded that he should actually charge me more for the 30 mile/hr roads to get here. As far as I know, they are only in Sparrowbush which is just over 1/2 hr from me. I asked if he could at least get on the roof and clean from there and he said no, he doesn't want the liability because the stove isn't properly installed. Totally disappointed and feeling ripped off. read more

We were not in the market for any major chimney work but the guy that cleaned our chimney in 2014 was a scam artist and I hope he is no longer in the area cheating people and doing substandard work. I saw A+ Chimney Sweep on Facebook with many happy reviews and decided to reach out. Figured we would just need a chimney cleaning but because of the age and deterioration of our chimney stack, Chris suggested we go for a stainless steel chimney liner. We gave him a deposit, and within three days he and his assistant came out and got the job done. He is prompt, professional and communicates well about the job he will do. We have the peace of mind knowing that we won't get killed from a carbon monoxide leak an there is nothing to start a fire in the chimney stack. Give him a call or message him on Facebook. read more

Terrible! A complete scam! Charged us $220.00 for 10 minutes work. Hardly enough time to bring the equipment in! Can't open our flue! They cleaned a small portion and didn't vacuum it out so now the flue doesn't open! Incompetent! Beware! read more

Wow, sent a message to Chris last night and he was here before 10 am this morning. Thoroughly cleaned a 2 story masonry wood burner chimney and cleaned out any pipes and stoves inside. $160.00 very fair price. Thanks read more

We couldn't have been more satisfied with a professional. Chris was very efficient and took time to explain what he was doing. He also gave us recommendations about work needed on our fireplace. Also he told us he did not see any need to clean one of the fireplaces. Really honest hard-working guy! read more

Beware of using this company. They will put your life in danger by installing your chimney or stove incorrectly. Chris charged for an inspection and for all of the work up front before he was finished. He also seems mentally unstable. Not the type of person you want installing a chimney or wood stove in your house. I'm sorry I have to leave this review, but after getting his work inspected by two other companies, they were appalled by the work he did. We will have to get the work redone and pay another company to fix what Chris did. read more

Chris was pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. He showed us things about our fireplace that we did not know about. He was very honest and gave us a fair price on the work. read more

Chris is amazing! We had him install a refurbished wood stove that he had for use. Very easy to work with, reasonable pricing and quality work. I plan to use him for future service. Highly recommended. read more

Charged me $150.00 for" inspection ". He took longer to write out a receipt than time spent "inspecting ". Spoke with several other companies including the one that actually did the work. They never charge for no work.Also the estimate was more than 3 times than the company that I hired. I would not use this company. Ripped off for $150.00. read more

Chris and all the A+ Chimney Team are simply amazing. We tried using another local chimney company to sweep and recommend a new stove. They did such a lousy job and wouldn't return to fix some issues or talk new stoves. This is when I reached out to A+ Chimney. Right off the bat, talking with them just showed how much more they cared about working with us and helping us out. Chris arrived a few days later, on time and very professionally inspected and re-cleaned our 2 stoves. He spent time talking over the issues we had, what he would like to do to fix them and then also worked out the new stove size. He recommended a small Lopi Answer unit and told us where to go and what to look for. The next day we placed the order. A week later Chris came and removed the old stove so we could paint. A week later he picked the new stove up form the store, installed it, replaced all the stove pipes which were 40 years old, and showed us everything to get us going. All of this was done super professionally, clean and courteously. The communication with the office was also top notch, letting us know everything that was happening and when, working easily with us to make any changes due to schedules etc. I highly recommend this company, and will be using them for many years to come! read more

I thought paying $360 for maybe 25 minutes to clean my fireplace and burner chimneys was way too much even if they drove from SparrowBush. If they cleaned others while they were in the area, they shouldn't be charging $180/chimney. They wore masks and were professional, but I don't think I should have been charged about $12/min. read more

Had Chris come by today, I live up in Livingston Manor and he had no problems stopping by, cleaned out the wood stove pipe and the furnace, neither of which have been cleaned in 20 years (:-/) . He gave me some great pointers on the lighting of my stove, was very careful to keep the home clean and soot free while he worked. Very professional. Would recommend. Will be calling for my next cleaning. read more
