Great easy estimate. Noah, Genesis and Patrick were very personable, easy going, knowledgeable and had a great time with my Siberian Husky! read more

do not use this company. I had them come and look at my gas fireplace said I needed a new blower. quoted me 1907$ for new blower cleaning remote and option to have them come and clean with chemicals. I do not have a chimney . took weeks to get new fan/blower they finally came very much in a hurry the installer. never told me how to turn off fireplace. very hard to get a hold of company. had another company come and check my fireplace (Glowing Hearth and Home) excellent company. told me they installed the wrong blower hence why it sounded like a car running! new company was awesome they cleaned gave me a remote and blower for only 500+$. again do not use Chimcare!!! owner is very rude and told me they did correct . would not refund my money of 572$. I had to put a third down!! read more

First, very nice staff. Second, I did agree to price and didn't do enough research. My fault there. That said, I now know that I paid triple the average rate in my area for the service. In line with other reviews I now see. read more

Tried to sell me uneeded, expensive replacement parts . All I wanted was to replace the thermocouple. 15$ 20$ max. read more

Chimcare came out to my house with a BIG RED FLAG. The red flag is that the vehicle that they used had no ladders. Right away the guy try to sell me a $2000.00 flashing job and said all kids of things about my flashing without really looking at it. I told him "No" on the flashing. Then he went on to say that he did not have all of his equipment. He was supposed to call me with in a hour to see if the equipment was available. Chimcare ghosted on me. read more

Dishonest and WAY overpriced. Told me I needed to have multiple parts replaced for $1200. Then had another company with a higher rating come out and replace the one part for $300. DO NOT HIRE read more

They sent a guy who claimed he wasn't an expert for my fireplace. Still got charges $50 for a person to come and say they don't know about the system. Such a scam read more

zero stars. this company is crooked and fraudulent. reading the other reviews, they're doing the same thing over and over to people by recommending services and grossly overpricing them. the cleaning I called them for wasn't even done until I made the technician wipe down the cover of the gas fireplace. Then he didn't know how to put the covering back on and just left a heavy metal covering leaning on my fireplace unsecured, and I have little kids at home. when we called management they told us they did a service of costing the inside of our chimney with a special sealant, which they never did, to justify the cost. in follow up for the before and after pics they mentioned they had, they never provided. they charged me $1100 to put basic roof tar on a 12" piece of flashing. avoid this company. no knowledge, didnt complete the basic service, overcharging, lying, and leaving material unsafe in the house. read more

Chimcare did come out and finish the job of installing the bricks, seasoning the stove and made sure that it drew correctly and the fan was working. It was completed on November 14, 2024. read more

Scheduled a call and they never called. Never replied to follow up correspondence. It's fine if you need to reschedule, but please don't waste my time. read more

My husband and I recently purchased a house with two fireplaces. With the winter coming and neither one of us knowing anything about fireplaces we scheduled a level 1 inspection, as well as a cleaning. Daniel arrived on time and promptly started with his inspection. He was very knowledgable and took the time to explain to my husband what he was doing. He also told my husband what he should be looking for to make sure we safely enjoy fires in our fireplace. What we really appreciate and value is an honest business. Daniel told us that there was no need to clean our chimney because they was no build-up in our chimney. That saved us $200. Thanks Daniel! We also used the Yelp deal and saved another $50. Bam! Time to go spend the savings. read more

The whole process was pretty seamless from start to finish. The estimate was competitive and they have some swanky automated texting service that messages you with your scheduled information. Everyone who came to our house - Andrew, Antelmo, and Nathan - was really polite and professional. The work - chimney tuck, scaffolding, venting, and water treatments - was completed on time, on, budget, and seems to be done well. We would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and neighbors, and would definitely use them again in the future! read more

When the ceiling in our garage collapsed because of excessive rain, I knew we were in trouble. Turns out our chimney hadn't been maintained in decades, and our inspection during the buying process (we just moved in 3 months ago) didn't catch the depth of the issues. Enter Chimcare. It took a few weeks for us to get an inspector out due to the high volume of chimney issues in our region. I called a few other places and the timelines were similar, so I stuck with Chimcare based on reviews. I'm glad I did. The inspector was knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. The work was completed within days of the inspection. And while it wasn't cheap, it is quality work - and has a warranty! Not only are we happy that our leaks are fixed, in a few days I'm excited to have a warm and cozy fire in our fireplace for the first time. Hooray! read more

Wish I could leave zero stars.. Called because of a gas fireplace that was not working. The technician arrived late, which is acceptable as these folks are busy. But once he arrived, he spent a half hour conferring with someone, likely a coworker. After a half hour of doing little to nothing, he recommended that the unit be replaced as it was old and beyond repair. There was no follow through as to what was wrong, nor was there follow up after repeated calls to inquire as to what was actually wrong. The fees were disclosed up front, however that was for a full cleaning and inspection, none of which actually occurred. So $500+ dollars for essentially absolutely nothing. I called a local fireplace shop, and after assessing and ordering parts, was able to repair the unit for just a bit more than I was charged for essentially nothing. Did I mention how disappointing this was, to have one vendor do nothing and charge an exorbitant rate, but another vendor was able to repair? Steer clear read more

I recently purchased a mid-century house and wanted to start using our old-fashioned fireplace. I called Chimcare, and they came out today. The positive experiences: 1) Chimcare was reliable and communicative. 2) The Chimcare employee who serviced our fireplace, Daniel, gave suggestions on fireplace care. The negative experiences: 1) Chimcare had the audacity to ask me to tip the employee on top of this high price. read more

On time and professional. Emailed pictures and estimate for repair. Explained what needs to be done to keep from getting smoke in our house.

I needed a chimney cap reinstalleit was great to have you on my side.d and from the moment I spoke to Harold on the phone who set everything up fr the next day to Geoff coming out and being right on time, the whole experience was perfect. I always am grateful to find a business like this that says what they are going to do and then follows through with exactly what they described. Thanks Harold and Geoff, during these difficult times, it was great to have you on my side. read more

So I made an appointment for a straightforward inspection of my wood burning fireplace. I didn't catch the name of the technicians, but they showed up an hour early than our appointment window so they ended up chatting with my elderly mom at home. They called us after the inspection to let us know the results and they started going off on a list of all these things we needed to fix up in a way that genuinely felt like they were making things up on the spot that amounted to $1200, so we politely declined a cleaning to consider. And then they started haggling the price down which felt a little under board... We finally got them to leave, but they convinced my mom to give them the security code and number on her credit card for payment for a payment on their ipad. That felt odd. Also they never gave us a work order result which was probably the biggest red flag. I don't know who these hyper professional chimney technicians being mentioned in the reviews, but we didn't meet them? read more

Pat and Noah came out and fixed the masonry work on our chimney. They were on time and courteous. They explained the work that they were going to do and cleaned up well after they finished. I would definitely recommend chimcare. read more

Scheduled a chimney inspection after recognizing some brick had fallen off. I scheduled initial inspection, Adrian came out on time, and showed me all my chimney flaws. He recommended a full chimney repair and he throws in a free chimey inspection and sweep on my other chimney-cool. I got that scheduled with Stephanie for November. Per policy, Chimcare wants 50% deposit before project begins, no problem, I call Stephanie say hey on my way to drop off my deposit is anyone in the office. She states yah, Darryl is there and he can take your check. I pull up see a chimcare van,door is locked, lights are off, and no one is answering my door knock. I call Stephanie tell her no Darryl. She states oh he must be in a meeting let me call you back, she promptly returns phone call, he is out just place your $1500 check under the door mat. Oh ok...can I get a phone call when Daryl receives the check, and a email also? She replies yes. No phone call, I had to call the next day to confirm if the check was received, and ask again for a email receipt. Jump to day repair begins....no one shows up, no phone call....nothing. I call they reschedule for two weeks out again no one shows up, and no phone call...nothing I call again I am told they are running behind on work scheduled before me and since Christmas is coming they will probably get to me in January. Now scheduled for January 19-20 8:00-9:00 am start time... and guess what no show and no call. I called them was told they are cleaning up last sight will be there at 12:00 pm. Again no show no call. I call again and I am told he is getting the brick for your job he will be there a 2:30, let me call and confirm with driver can I call you back? yes you can, did they..nope, and they did not show up either. They do show up on the 20th work till 5:00. I am shocked as I watch them stick there ladder right in my wife's plant. The work they did looks great. I am told it's Sunday and they can't get the chimney cap on today because it is at the office. ok. Week later chimney cap is installer comes ,nice man did good work, except he had no idea about the chimney sweep and inspection. As he is prepping to sweep is he does not enter the house for 10 mins. Where did he go? He is on my front porch taking a personal phone call about his car maintenance. Now this morning I go into my back yard and the plastic bag that covered my chimney before they cap was installed is in my back yard! Really! read more

We recently bought a house with two fireplaces and had no idea of the condition of either. We arranged for an inspection and cleaning, knowing that further care would most likely be needed. Geoff arrived on time and after a quick inspection, told us that neither fireplace needed a cleaning, as they were both in good condition. He only charged us for an inspection and for caps that were needed to prevent rain leakage we had noticed during the last thunderstorm. While the caps were a bit pricey, we appreciated Geoff's integrity and honesty about the cleanings. We will definitely be considering Chimcare in the future for further cleanings and repair. read more

Hands down one of the best interactions I have had with any home repair company. We had Andrew out to look at an old chimney in a house we had just purchased. Not only did he do a thorough inspection and video inspection he also spent a tremendous amount of time explaining everything about chimneys. He helped us determine what we want to do in order to repair the chimney. He was no pressure, but gave us pros and cons to all our options. I can not recommend Andrew enough. Best 200 dollars I have spent in a long time! Only drawback is it is very tough to tell where all there locations are at... I ended up getting a hold of Oregon one time by accident. read more

I called Chimcare to have my chimney/fireplace inspected (to insure the concrete and brick structure was sound), swept and have a cap added. I have to say I was impressed with the entire experience from start to finish, from the original inspection and quote thru the scheduling and completion of work. Professional, courteous, on-time, great communication and no pressure, upselling or hidden fees. They answered all the questions/concerns I had and Pat even reset a few extra bricks that had come loose. I will definitely be a repeat customer in the future. Thanks Pat and entire Chimcare team! read more

Andrew came to our house to give us an estimate and he was very knowledgeable, explained everything throughly, and provided pictures. He encouraged us to get other estimates and compare it to Chimcare. After getting other estimates we determined Chimcare had the best prices and the best warranty. We booked through Harold and he was able to get us in right away. Bob and Carl showed up early and stayed late every day they were here. They did a great job working on our chimney! They even came back the following day after the job was done and finished cleaning up. They even left some flowers as a nice touch! read more

They came out and cleaned my built in stove without making a mess. Daniel cleaned my flue and stove interior and was professional and courteous he also explained the work that was done. Used Yelp deal for my cleaning which was an added discount! read more

I found chimcare online, I called because my chimney chase cover was needing replaced. I called on a Monday and they were out that Friday afternoon. Andrew was very polite and got to work right away assessing the issue. Hey gave me an estimate that was very reasonable and actually a lot less than what I expected. They were out about a month later to install my new cover. Andrew was actually earlier than what they said which was great. He even called to make sure that was ok. I live in Covington and it's nice knowing there are still local companies around that do great work. The new cover looks great and should solve the leak issues I was having. read more

Super happy and impressed. We bought a groupon for a chimney inspection which informed us that our chimney had suffered a chimney fire before we bought the house. We received a quote for a chimney insert, crown replacement and firebox rebuild. Harold was a fantastic communicator. The team was on time, friendly, worked hard, cleaned up after themselves, and finished quickly and efficiently. Final price was the quoted price - no additional or hidden costs. Could not be more pleased. Thanks so much! read more

He inspected my chimney, made a list of needed repairs but won't give me an estimate! Strange! Maybe job was beyond his expertise? A waste of time! read more

Disappointed. Flashing replacement looks like a DIY project. After pressure washing and sealing, the outside of the chimney looked exactly the same as it did before. The initial consult and inspection made it sound like we would be getting a clean and functional chimney. We ran into a scheduling conflict, and asked to move our appointment. The assigned worker said it wouldn't be a problem, and that he would be to the house at 12:30. He did not show up....at all. We called him a few hours later and he informed us he wouldn't make it that day and that I would have to call Harold to reschedule. I called Harold and said I just need the work to be done, to which HAROLD replied "YOU and everyone else with a chimney." When the work was finally done, I wasn't notified that they were going to come to the house. I was told multiple times I didn't need to be there for them to do the work, but I wanted to be. And that should be up to me, it's my house and my money. From top to bottom they were dishonest. I felt like they didn't care about a smaller job, as the service technician literally said he had other jobs to do before he got to mine. I emailed Chimcare and received no reply. We will not be using them again. The pictures we taken from my backyard, on the ground, without even being on the roof. Not what I expected from a "professional" read more

I found Andrew on the website of Chimney Safety Institute of America's list of Certified CSIA Professionals in the Seattle area. Andrew is very busy but I am glad we waited for him to sweep our chimneys. He arrived on time and did an outstanding job in cleaning the chimneys. Due to my allergies, he took extra care to not let debris into our house and kept the area clean. Stephanie in the office was also helpful in scheduling and providing pertinent information. read more

This is the second time we have used Chimcare. They are thorough, professional and give good advice re. maintenance and care of our insert.

Our chimney constantly sent smoke out inside our house when we tried to use it (yes the flue was open). We found Chimcare through a special on Angie's list. Although they were booked out by a couple months, we waited for them and they didn't disappoint. Chimney works like a charm now. They also didn't try and upsell us on other services although they did answer some questions we had which would require some other work. I wouldn't hesitate to use Chimcare again or recommend to a friend. read more
