What a great experience today. I had a 9am appointment but found out he was running late, and that…read morewas fine. Things happen, and I am sure another job took longer than expected. When he arrived, he assessed the issue and explained that I did not need a cleaning, as the chimney was clean. He went on to say that at one point, there was a chimney fire, there is a liner, and smell is coming from that liner. He provided information on how to get rid of the smell (it only happens when damp out) and only charged me for the inspection. He explained everything, wrote down everything, and re-iterated what NOT to do. He was friendly, honest, and informational. Alpha will now be my go-to for all fireplace and cleaning needs.

As far as chimney services go, I have no sentimental attachment or preference as to which one to…read moreuse. This one comes as 1 of 3 recommended services within my HOA driven community. Alpha was first on the list, so I called them. Multiple times, actually. And I'll explain why right now. Setting an appointment with this company was easily the least convenient part of the process. See, first time I called, we set a date (with no time window to narrow it down, btw), I waited at home for them ALL day, only for them to be a no-show. Okay, fine. Whatever. Probably had a breakdown in communication or something. Some weeks go by whilst I'm contacting other places for quotes. Long story short, I stuck with Alpha because they are honestly the most affordable option here. I call again, get a quote of $150 (even though the previous quote was 100 dollars less, but whatever), set a date for a full month later, call to reverify the appointment since nobody reached out via email or phone to reassure me I still had an appointment, got the time window narrowed down to one half hour (very impressive), dude comes out, inspects my chimney in 5 minutes, charges me the original quote of $50 and he's out. Bing-bang-boom! We got ourselves a usable chimney for the next foreseeable year. My only problems were regarding appointment confirmation and (evidently) receiving misquotes. Despite this mild confusion, I'd still recommend them for, if for nothing else, their frugality. Alpha Chimney Sweeps receives 4 chimney check quickies out of 5.

Our best decision ever was to visit Mike at Complete Sweep. From the minute we walked in the door, Mike answered all of our questions with consummate courtesy and demonstrated an in depth knowledge of how best to heat using coal. We ended up ordering a Kodiak Hand Fired Gravity Fed Coal Stove and we were absolutely delighted with the seamless ease with which Mike and his colleague Roy installed our stove, right on schedule and with professional precision. As a disabled U.S. Army Captain, I hold all retailers to extremely high (but reasonable) standards, and Mike and Roy exceeded my lofty expectations in every possible respect. A product of outstanding quality was installed by two seasoned experts who were focused like a laser on providing exemplary customer service. As a former Army intelligence branch officer, I chose to ignore one (critical) review posted about Complete Sweep because both the text and tone of the write up were so far over the top that the credibility of the (quasi-hysterical) consumer / writer could legitimately be called into question. Thank God I "passed off" the initial negative review as an anomaly and a self-centered rant by an individual who likely sees negativity in every single interaction with every retailer. Mike promised to be the best, and that's exactly what he was and is: the best. Go nowhere else if you need assistance or guidance with any issue relating to chimneys, coal / pellet / wood stoves, etc. Mike will be pleased to count you as his newest, very much appreciated customer for life. Call him or email him today!
