A1 inspected both fireplaces, installed the spark arrestor, gave us a quote for the repair, ordered the part, made the repair, and thoroughly cleaned both fireplaces. They also made sure the damper worked correctly. Our fireplace is now safe and functional thanks to A1 Chimney Sweeps.

Turkish workers Vusal & Khayal arrived at 11:30 am within the given 11 am - 1 pm arrival window…read more They also pre-notified me when they were on their way to my location. Both gentlemen were 5-star courteous and professional. Removal/disconnection/disassembly of my 30+ year old twin stack washer/dryer appliance was not required for vent access. After field inspection of the condo rooftop site and unit appliance location because my dryer vent was a short location from the vent exhaust location (less than 12 LF upward) cleaning from the vent exhaust location was easy and was completed within 15 minutes. Vusal tested the dryer airflow after the cleaning and measured at 6.5 m/s (1280 ft/min). After the vent cleaning, Vusal also cleaned up all the areas where the decades old loose dryer lint that had been extracted/expelled. Afterwards Vusal also was able to recover & retrieve my mini-vacuum extension that had previously fallen down into the vent screen shaft inside the dryer vent system. Workers left project site by about 12:25 pm. For this day and this specific project they get an easy 5-star rating. Paid by check for the quoted amount and I believe all is good. I will now go do a load of laundry to confirm everything works well. Thanks Bay Services for fantastic stress-free services. BTW thanks Paula for the great referral! Kenny G.

I should have read the reviews before calling this company. Unfortunately, our experience turned…read moreout to be just as disappointing. When we scheduled the appointment, we were quoted a $95 service fee for a technician to come out and diagnose the issue. The technician was at our home for less than 15 minutes, told us the control unit needed to be replaced (which was already diagnosed by our electrician), and then left. Shortly after, we received a bill for $295 along with a quote of approximately $2K to replace the unit. Since our fireplace is practically brand new, we contacted the manufacturer directly and learned that the control unit was actually still under warranty. The manufacturer immediately agreed to send us the replacement part free of charge. It is important to note that the technician never suggested checking the warranty status, even after we mentioned that the fireplace was new. Once we received the replacement unit from the manufacturer, we contacted the company again to ask if they could simply install the warranty-covered part (for a fee, of course). They refused to do the work. Overall, this was an extremely frustrating experience, and I would strongly recommend using another company.

We had an extremely heavy refrigerator that needed to be moved, and he handled it without a problem and installed our new refrigerator for us. During the installation, he needed to make an unexpected trip to the store for an additional part, which took more time than anticipated. He only charged us for the cost of the item and didn't add anything for the extra time. I really appreciated how fair and honest he was. His price was fantastic, especially for the amount of work involved. Omar was reliable, professional, and came through for us on very short notice. I would absolutely recommend him and will definitely call him again!

We had him tackle a significant makeover and paint job on our 122 year old cottage. Omar's bid was a good 20% higher than #2. We chose him because of how clearly he talked the details, from paint chemistry for a salt air climate to the right way to replace those old cedar shingles. He also had a new kitchen window created from scratch to match the ones in the rest of the old house. Over the 3 - 4 week project, Omar and his crew invariably left the place immaculate, no clutter, no mess. The answer to nearly ever request was "Yes, we can do that." While they are not cheap, the tab for all of the extras we asked for was fair. And we have no doubt that the work will hold up very well. When you think about how valuable your home is, why would you not hire the best in the business to fix whatever is wrong with it? The property will appreciate, and pay you back 10X over.
