UPDATE: I sent this email to WNC 8 days ago in response to their factually incorrect reply and give…read morethem a chance to correct it or reimburse me for the $10,000 difference they stated in their response, and have not received an answer, yet another example of poor communication and customer service on their part: "The total quotes you gave me #2223, 2224, 2225, 2226 totaled $38,331.68. The total amount I ended up paying you was $31,365.69, ($3420.50 invoice #4129, $3279.50 invoice #4128, $6583.00 invoice #4127, $5652.50 invoice #4126, check #504 $12,430.19) a difference of $6,965.99, not the $17,000 you said in the response to my review. The difference in price was due to us having to change the fireplace order because your employees measured incorrectly, not because you gave any discount from the damage or inconvenience. The cleaning and repairs were due to your company's negligence, and thank you for acknowledgement of that." I don't wish to argue this in the public space but only want to warn others that this is what could happen to them if WNC fails to do their job correctly again. I would discourage using them for any major project. ORIGINAL REVIEW (shortened for space): I wish I could say that my experience with WNC Chimney was anything but a series of disappointments and frustrations. Unfortunately, from start to finish, dealing with this company was nothing short of a nightmare. Let's start with the timeline. The initial agreement, as discussed with Tristan, was to have all work completed before my move into my newly purchased home on August 14th. However, the actual start date was pushed back to August 21st. We never knew day to day if they would be here, calls and texts weren't returned. What was initially promised to be a 6-day job extended into what was an endless ordeal, with the latest completion date being slated for November 13th, a staggering 84 days since the job commenced. We finally asked them to stop the job, remove their things and leave the premises with the job not finished. But it's not just about missed deadlines. The incompetence displayed by WNC was astounding. From botching the initial chimney measurement to the negligent behavior of the employees during the job, every step seemed to bring about a new disaster. Failure to properly cover my floors and furniture, turn off the HVAC and secure the area meant that soot from 100 year old chimney infiltrated every corner of our home and freshly painted white walls, necessitating extensive cleaning and even forcing us to seek alternative accommodation due to health concerns. After 5 days Ande finally arranged for ServPro to come and clean up the damage, it took 12 people from ServePro 3 days to clean up the mess that WNC left. The manager at ServPro told me that it looked like we had a house fire without the fire. The aftermath of their shoddy workmanship has been both financially and emotionally draining. We've had to invest in air purifiers, cleaning supplies, and professional services to rectify the damage caused. Our furniture, floors, and personal belongings were damaged, with some items requiring expensive replacements or repairs that we shouldn't have had to bear. We had to have the area around the fireplace repainted due to the scratches, our front porch had to be re-stained because they didn't cover the porch when they did show up and tracked soot in and out for weeks. When we had the 2nd company come to repair the job that WNC did they found that the both of the 3" liners for the fireplace insert were never properly connected to the cap. Both liners had unnecessary extensions pieces foil taped to each other, and lacked a hose clamp / screws to secure to the appropriate connection of the cap. To add insult to injury, there was never a mention of compensation for the additional expenses incurred or the unimaginable stress we've been subjected to. In fact they demanded a restock fee from us when we asked them to remove the partially completed job. We refused. It's clear that customer satisfaction is not a priority for WNC

I just ran across Carolina Ductmasters' business card and realized I never left the review I had…read morebeen meaning to make. I recently had my air ducts cleaned by Carolina Ductmasters, and I couldn't be happier with the service. Technicians Alex and Brittany did a fantastic job. They were professional, knowledgeable, hardworking, and had great attitudes from start to finish. You can tell they take pride in honest, quality work. This was hands down the best $575 I've spent on work done in my home in a long time. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Highly recommend Carolina Ductmasters if you're looking for dependable, hardworking professionals! I would definitely request Alex and Brittany if possible these two work great together as a team and get the job done!!

I tipped them both for taking their Sunday to do the job, although my Sunday was also compromised. On both days, I initiated a phone call to inquire about the status of our appointment as time was slipping by and the courtesy of a phone call was not extended to me. The next day I made an appointment for duct cleaning at my daughter's house the following Thursday at 9:30 and they DID NOT SHOW UP. No phone call. Just a no show. I called the owner, Marshall, in Arden and he hurriedly mentioned possible car trouble saying he would reach out to Greensboro team and get right back to me. NO CALL BACK. This company is not reliable. Choose another.
