This company was difficult to communicate with. I feel that some things that could have been…read moreexceptionally simple were made more complicated... for no reason at all. All of my frustration, however, was with the over the phone conversations. Possibly this is an area your company could consider changing. The person who deals with callers didn't do a good job, and was downright offensive. Sort of blew my mind how rude she was. With all that being said... James came to our home twice and he is a gem of a person and an excellent fireplace repairman! I was impressed with his kindness and hard work. It was SO refreshing to interact with him and we are really thankful for his help! He completed the job and we found him very pleasant to work with. My advice to this company is that you're blessed to have James!!! He redeemed a very annoying situation.

Overall: Fast, friendly, and efficient! Definitely glad we went with Ashbusters…read more The good: Our chimney sweep (?) was very friendly and gave us a lot of helpful tips. He was talkative and relatable, and told us things we needed to know (including during the inspection). Everything was straightforward, including the invoicing and payment. Everything was done in probably 1.5 hours, and that includes a small repair. The not-so-good: Not very transparent on the pricing beforehand. I booked and forgot about it, then the day-of my wife asked what it was going to be. Couldn't find out online or in my emails (I may have been able to call and get it?) Without doing price comparisons, the fixes they do are expensive, but that may just be the industry standard.

If you wait until winter you could be waiting weeks before service arrives. Chris came to our home and was very professional and proficient in his work. He was very open and honest about the repairs and the costs. If you have repairs over $1000 they will let you put money down and then pay off the rest over 3 months. I got emails of my repairs list and pictures of the before and after work. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for great service on their chimney.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS..Our natural gas log fireplace ignited only intermittently. Ashbusters showed…read moreup twice in December 2022. The job was to clean flue, inspect chimney and repair ignition. We had one day previous vacuumed the firebox and removed lava rock. Ashbusters chose to vacuum a 2nd time. Failed to clean the flue and refused to examine exterior of chimney. After two trips they were unable to repair the ignition. Charge 449.00 for essentially nothing. At that point Ashbusters stated they would complete all repairs at no further charge. January 2023 Ashbusters contacted my wife advising they would require 120.00 additional. Thanks to Ashbusters our fireplace has failed completely and now appears to represent a hazard. We believe Ashbusters to be incompetent and manipulative. It is our opinion they grossly exaggerate qualifications and experience. Lacking in basic business ethics.

He was incredibly thorough in his work, and spent several hours cleaning out our chimney and fire place insert.

Strongly recommend him for anyone else in the market. We will certainly be using Carolina Chimney and Roof for anything that comes up in the future.
