I had a great experience with 4 winds Chimney service. First time, but I have recommended them 3…read moretimes already. We needed an inspection and cleaning which revealed some significant repairs. We booked it and from beginning to end, it was smooth sailing with them. They consistently told me what was going on, where there technicians were and how much longer the work would be, each day. We had several different crews at different stages in the process and each and every one was great! They showed up on time, text to let us know they were coming, set up protective plastic sheets in the house, wore boot covers while in the house and worked hard each day. For all the work that they did, it was well worth every penny! Once complete, the work is fantastic and now we are enjoying our fireplace. Thank you 4 winds chimney!

Disclaimer to start ... Review based on 3/4 of completed service…read more Inspection process: 5 of 5. Very comprehensive to include a camera inspection of the flue & inner parts of the chimney. Execution of the agreed upon scope of work: 3 of 5. Scope of work included the install of "Full Cover Flat Lid Cap." To date, majority of the scope of work is complete with the exception of installing the cap. Satisfied with the workmanship done so far. The cap hasn't been installed & company is still waiting for delivery. 7 Months into this project when the cap dimensions were taken & I have to arrange for a 2nd install date. Company Warranty Policy: 1 of 5. In order for the company to honor any warranty re-work, the customer has to buy into annual inspections. Based on that, I can't give a full throated recommendation to a neighbor to use this company again

Amazing response to our A\C problem a few weeks ago. Came out a few hours after we called and told…read morethem our Air conditioning was not working-given that it was almost i0 degrees outside, we needed a quick fix. After looking at our furnace and A/C, he told us both units were 18 yrs old -we've been in the house for 6 yrs, so fixing it was not cost effective and our unit was 80% efficiency. After we agreed on the appropriate size and high efficiency-we scheduled for next day install. They also said that a technician will be coming by later that day to install a portable A/C , at no cost to cool our bedroom for the evening as well as the next day during the install, which was an 8 hour job. Excellent service, professional from start to finish and followed up with us as promised. What also was a pleasant surprise is that they at no time try to sell us stuff we did not need. When finished, they walked me thru everything that was done, answered any questions I had and included a 1 year free check up/cleaning. Could not be more pleased. Love supporting our local businesses as well.

Called him back to ask him to put it back, and he berated me over the phone saying he would be liable if he put the pipe back and we didn't have a liner installed. Finally got him to say he would come back but he had to check his schedule and call me back. Never called me back, so 2 months later I called a manager. She sent 2 techs out the very next day who ruined the pipe even more (they tried to align it but left a huge gap and taped it back together with tape that is not rated for fireplaces!) and also tracked mud and soot all over my kitchen and carpet. I will never have them in my house again. Working with the BBB to have them pay my bill to get the fireplace fixed and the carpet cleaned.

This is a slippery company. They are not trustworthy when it comes to their billing practices. They…read moreclaim to give you a "break" on labor but truth be told they tack it on the part. If you have a warranty be very clear that they service THAT warranty, that the look at the warranty. My furnace wasn't working, I took the morning off to meet them so when they said it wasn't covered under the warranty, I was desperate and trusted them. The next day I found out it was covered, Empire wasn't honest. They weren't a contractor for that warranty company, Goodman/Goodcare/Asure. They charged $485 for the part and only refunded $250 and claimed the rest as labor which the tech said he was being nice and not charged me. But the warranty covers labor, but Empire isn't a service provider for said company. So I am being blamed by the warranty company for trusting Empire, Empire claims the are not liable because they didn't install the furnace. Integrity is not something they have, find another company if you don't have to use them.

When he gave me the quote, it was apparent that the crown and bricks above the roof line had severe cracks and would need to be replaced. He said the job would take two days to complete. After a late start, the job took two and half weeks to complete. During the course of the project, I asked John to please let me know about any additional expenses that would be incurred and the pricing of these. He was very dodgy and wouldn't give me a straight answer. Finally, after the job was complete, he came by and stated that the final price for the work was $7100. He had added line items to his estimate, which we never discussed. Unless you want to be taken advantage of, don't hire this company.
