Tex is great! He is super responsive and efficient. I highly recommend! There are few chimney cleaners in the area and he made sure to get back to me and fit me in at short notice read more

Tex is a rare find. When he came out to the house, he remembered coming out for the previous owners and even remembered what was wrong with the fireplace! He was communicative while trying to schedule, even though he was booked up and having health issues. Don't mistake his no non-sense approach as rudeness, Tex is a great guy who knows exactly what he is doing. As someone new to the mountains it was great to encounter such a knowledgeable professional. I will use Tex for all of my wood burning stove needs in the future. read more

He was great. Called me right back, came out soon after and really knows his stuff. I appreciate honesty!

Had Tex come out and inspect and clean my wood stove in my new house. He was honest and clearly knows what he's talking about. he did a great service and shared a bunch of knowledge with this first time wood burner. I appreciated his schedule style of just playing it by ear for when you have free time, worked great for me. read more

Tex Anderson is a true gem - a diamond in the rough! When our wood stove began leaking smoke into the home and no chimney sweep knew what was wrong, we reached out to those we thought could repair it. All they wanted to do was sell us a new one. Then came Tex! Tex's knowledge and expertise in the field not only determined the cause but he was able to repair it when others said it couldn't Because of Tex we saved thousands of $$$$ and now have a more efficient and productive wood stove providing the main stay of our heat. Tex went out if his way to help us and for that we are extremely grateful. If you are considering a renovation or repair call Tex. He is fantastic! read more

Do not bother! Tex is RUDEST business owner I have worked with. I called to schedule an appointment over a month ago, and he said he would call me when he knew if and when he could "squeeze me in". THREE weeks later he called, left a message and TOLD me he would possibly be to me the next day. I let him know via text (He had texted me first, so I believed that was an accepatble form of communication with him) that I would not be home and that would not work for me. I did not hear back from him with alternate times. I just sent him another text asking to get on the schedule and he left me a voice mail saying, "I don't text" (weird, because he texted me first as mentioned above) anyway, I called him and asked when I could get on the schedule and he VERY RUDELY let me know he does not schedule ahead and would get back to me when he could get to my neighborhood. UMMMMMMMM..... NO THANK YOU! I have no desire to support anyone who can't respect me or my time. read more

Legit local who'll tell you the truth versus quoting you on repairs you don't actually need. Will definitely call him again in the future.

This is the first time I have ever felt compelled to write a review on Yelp because the service I received was absolutely outstanding. It was a pleasure having Tex and his son Hunter design and build my Regency wood stove installation. I purchased a very nice used stove off Craigslist and have been waiting for the right time to install it. After hearing a few very good personal referrals to Tex I was convinced that he was the guy I wanted to work with. He and his son turned around a quote within a day and completed the chimney and stove pipe installation within a week. There are several tricky features about this installation that had me scratching my head, but Tex quickly figured it all out and built it in from start to finish, including refinishing and repainting the stove and stove pipe to match. These guys take great pride in their work, they only do what's right, and they care about their clients. read more

Thrilled with Tex's performance in fixing up our highly unsafe chimney issues and getting our stove solid. He's straight up in his dealings, he shows what's up instead of just telling, he outlines options, and he and his worker and very respectful of our house and our space. He advises on good product upgrades and he's not a hard seller. He's the real deal, a perfectionist, and I'm happy to give him my business. read more

They have been in business doing this longer than any bay area chimney sweep company. Get in line though cause they get booked!!!! Well done tex well done! read more

Cocky, arrogant, rude! Not what I was expecting when I called to make an appointment. Maybe he was having a bad day but you don't speak to prospective clients with the tone and attitude he displayed over the phone. read more

TEX dismantled my fireplace after cleaning it because he did not like the way the installer had put it in.He left me without heat in the middle of a cold snap. stating that I should find an alternate source of heat. It turned out the fireplace did not really need to be dismantled. I would not recommend his services. He was also pretty unprofessional and caused more problems than he fixed. read more
