Do not do business with this company!

I used Chimney Checkers today for my gas fireplace. The pilot light would not stay on. I called…read moreyesterday and they were here today. Joe & Vince are really good at what they do. They got it up and running quickly. Turns out there was corrosion built up. I also use them annually for my dryer vent clean out. They are a great team, always work clean and are very friendly and trustworthy. They are repair guys, not salespeople. They will work hard to fix the issue instead of trying to sell a replacement like other fireplace companies in the area do. Their pricing is reasonable. I will absolutely use them again for annual dryer clean outs and if there are any other issues with the fireplace. Chimney Checkers 757.689.3161 http://www.chimneycheckers.com

I called this company for a diagnostic repair because my gas fireplace was not working. From the…read morestart, I pointed out that I suspected the pilot light assembly was the issue, since it is a common failure point. Two technicians came out and told me the entire fireplace needed to be replaced due to rust, quoting approximately $4,000. As an engineer who works on ships, I am very familiar with the difference between cosmetic rust and structural failure. The rust present was clearly superficial and did not justify replacing the entire unit. I decided to get a second opinion from another company, and they confirmed the problem was the pilot light assembly. They repaired and cleaned the fireplace for under $600, and the unit now works perfectly. I highly recommend getting a second opinion before agreeing to major replacements, as this diagnosis could have resulted in thousands of dollars in unnecessary costs.

Their technician/project bidder, Adam, was polite and initially responsive. He was actually the primary reason I chose them over lower-bid competitor (Keithans Gas and Chimney Services) The scheduling process has been extremely disappointing. Timeline of events: Initial contact: December 9, 2024 Current date: February 22, 2025 5 canceled/rescheduled appointments Multiple no-show instances without prior notification The most frustrating aspects have been: Repeated requests to confirm appointments that were subsequently canceled No proactive communication about cancellations Being redirected between various "divisions" despite being a small company Having to take multiple days off work for appointments that never occurred While I understand weather conditions and unexpected situations can affect scheduling - I want them to be safe and understand some project need to bye dry. But the lack of basic communication and professional courtesy is unacceptable for a company. I've missed days of work to sit at my house waiting for them to show up. As a potential customer, you should be prepared for: Extensive delays - there's always someone else they have to schedule first Poor communication - Adam gave me his business card but his voicemail box is full and doesn't return calls or text The need to constantly follow up even though they send confirmations and then just say they were mistakenly sent. The quality of their work may be excellent, but I cannot speak to that as I'm still waiting for the project to begin after more than two months of scheduling attempts. Here's a copy of the appointments and quote - hopefully this saves someone a headache like we are going through.
