We had him rebuild our chimney 5 years ago and several blocks are crumbling. There is no way this should be happening already. He refuses to honor his work and won't come even look at it. Don't hire this guy. read more

My experience with ABC Chimney Service left a sour taste. Full disclosure, I made a quick, impulsive decision to hire Mr. William. I should have taken time to get other estimates and educated myself in chimney repair. So, I take much responsibility for this mistake. According to my estimate from ABC Chimney, I needed the top layer of bricks repaired and a new crown poured. Materials listed were 1 bag of concrete. They quoted me $1000 to complete the job. At that point, I did question the amount. Mr. Williams said " It's a two man job and a day's work". I agreed because I wanted it completed before winter and gave him a $500 deposit to hold my spot (my mistake, I should have waited). The day the work was to be completed, I came home from work at 11:15 A.M. They had already completed the work and left the bill at my door. I was dumbfounded. My neighbor said he saw them leave a bit after 10 A.M. So, I am thinking that they spent 1.5-2 hours (maybe) at my house. I called Mr. William, because I interpreted his "day's work" comment to mean it would take a full day to complete the job (dumb, I know). He quickly said "no, he would charge me for a full day's work". So, I am paying him for two hours of work and a $20 bag of concrete! I have an older home and have needed extensive repair over the past few years. I have hired some great tradespeople. I do not have a problem paying for services rendered. I am paying ABC Chimney, but this feels much different. Learn from me and get a few estimates. Very few people can afford my mistake. read more

Went with ABC because my usual chimney service raised their rates significantly and they had a lower rate and regret the choice. They left a huge scratch in my soapstone stone stove and left it covered by the water pot as if trying to conceal it, dismissed it as an issue and made no gesture to try to repair. Also left creosote on the floor, which I was not pleased with, especially with having a toddler at home. Not a big fix hopefully, with the soapstone, but would not use again. Learned after that other front porch forum folks also had not great experiences. read more
