Don't let the sooty stuff fool you; Hudson Valley Chimney runs a clean ship. A clean tarp is placed…read moreand all of the tools are maintained in a clean fashion. HV Chimney has been the only service I've used since purchasing my home 17 years ago. And Larry has been my go-to for advice and insurance that the job was properly managed. On this cleaning trip, Larry thoroughly inspected and cleaned the wood burning insert they recommended and installed a little less than a year ago. I didn't expect it to be a big job since we've used the fireplace just about four months in 2025. ( I almost put the service off a bit longer to save a few bucks.) My safety minded brain would not let me. THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT: my stove was not in use for months over the warm weather, so we we able to proceed. TIP: DO NOT USE UOUR FIREPLACE FOR AT LEAST 48 hours and insure there are no hot coals or they will need to reschedule for safety. We were ready to proceed. I'm glad I kept my appointment because more soot had built up in the nooks and crannies than was visible. SAFETY FIRST!!! Larry did his usual thorough examination and cleaning an left my living room tidier than he found it. I am considering options for a second fireplace that we decommissioned nearly 15 years ago. Larry took a close look and offered several great options for me. He's honest and Kelly at the office is wonderful and responsive, too. If you are lucky enough to have Larry work on your home, have the black coffee ready. FIVE STARS!!!

My husband and I recently purchased a house with a chimney in poor condition. We called Hudson…read moreValley Chimney to have them come out and inspect it. Kelly answered the phone and was very pleasant, professional and helpful in facilitating an appointment and explaining the process of what the inspection would entail. This was very helpful as we have never had a chimney before and weren't sure what to expect. Eric came out for the inspection and was very professional and explained everything in detail. Despite this, there unfortunately was still a misunderstanding on our end. We reviewed the reports and decided to get both the creosote treatment and boiler liner installation. Dave and Matt came to do those and were friendly, efficient and clean. Later, when my husband looked at the work they did, it did not appear to be what we were previous told it would be at the initial inspection. We expected masonry and busting through the cinderblock and there didn't seem to be any of that. We wanted to make sure they were doing what we had been told they would do. We called and spoke to the owner, Robbie, who listened attentively to my husband's concerns. He very professionally and calmly explained the misunderstanding and apologized, explaining that honest work and customer satisfaction is of their upmost priority. We were very impressed with how he handled this and left the conversation having 100% faith in this business and its service people. He even came out again to repair some cracks that had formed once the cement had dried. Robbie went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied customers. It is rare to see such dedication and commitment in customer service! Thank you for your quality work in restoring our chimney!

I got a call back from Jonah, who's been a plumber for 19 years, and he spent a lot of time talking through the options. The valve is probably 12 years old and parts are difficult to get. While Jonah researched parts, I decided to work on it again, with a friend. Armed with Jonah's suggestions, I was able to fix the issue. Jonah was generous with his time and knowledge and I will definitely have him on my list for whatever I need in the future. Courteous, helpful, and experienced.

The pump finally gave out from months and months of short cycling (pressure tank broke and we didn't replace it). I called and left 2 messages with AAA American Pump. Jim called me back within a couple of hours. They were completely booked for the next 2 weeks... but since it was an emergency Jim was able to come at 7:30am the next day and replaced the well pump and pressure tank. We had running water by 10am on Monday. They were quick, professional, and followed all Covid protocols. I was amazed to see Sara pulling up 200ft of hose and wires to get to the pump. Pretty impressive back and biceps workout! Price was high-ish but fair, no complaints here especially on how fast they were able to get us all fixed. Less than 24 hrs from original call. Overall, very happy. They really were life savers.

The boss there. phoned me right after that and tried bullying me into spending $24.000 for a new roof with them! When we had a severe rainstorm about 2 weeks ago, I got a fresh brown spot on my ceiling in an area very close to the original spots. I called them asking for them to come put a barrier over the area until the contractor I'm using comes in early August. The new contractor is charging $10.000, the right price because I checked elsewhere. The man in charge at Lyndsey at first denied that I paid him $1500, which I had been asked for to pay cash, and said I'd paid him $200 for the work done. He is no longer denying it because I found supporting cancelled bank proof. And he is refusing to cover my roof. I rate this company very, very poorly.

From the very first visit, this team has proven they know exactly what they're doing. I remember a…read moreQ&A session between my husband and the company and from there, their focus shifted to identifying the root cause of a sulfur/rotten egg smell coming from every hot water faucet in our new home. They conducted a thorough investigation, diagnosed the underlying issue and recommended a treatment plan tailored to fully eliminate the odor. Since June '23, their technicians have been on point- responsive, knowledgeable and consistent. We also decided to invest in a specialized water filtration system as part of a more thorough solution, not just for odor elimination, but for long-term peace of mind and health reasons. I mean...who would want to bathe in, brush teeth and cook with water that has a fart smell??? David came out on a Thursday back in '23 for a follow-up and took the time to inspect everything thoroughly and confirm that the new system- from the pipes to the additional components installed earlier that summer were operating properly. By late August of that year, we saw major progress and the sulfur smell was completely gone. We signed up for a maintenance plan because we want continued oversight to ensure everything stays in excellent condition. The service has been outstanding and the price goes hand in hand with the tremendous work these guys do. David's communication was especially appreciated- he'd keep my husband informed by text with ETA updates, which is exactly the kind of service we value. Til this day, our water is perfect!
