From the first call for a quote to the job beautifully completed, Chim Chimney was professional,…read moreprompt, attentive and creative. Our first encounter was with Elias, who thoroughly inspected and offered his expertise on design and what to expect. He was honest and didn't rush us or give us unreliable expectations. Initially, we just wanted a wood stove inserted into the "hole" where the old fireplace was. He kindly explained that this wasn't possible without dropping out the prefab FP, along with cutting out stone for proper clearance. Fast forward, Elias found that we had an old chimney to the left side of the unit that spanned from basement to third floor and out the roof. Long story short: in order to make this happen, we had to demolish the entire unit. We chose our stove and the flooring. Next appointment was demolition! Walks in Ben! This guy was the real deal! He was professional and courteous, but what we admired most was that he was honest! This wasn't the usual slam dunk job. Our house was built in 1980. Once demolished, we found all kinds of issues that needed addressing. The builder cut up the hardwood floor to meet the old FP, so there were odd gaps, the old side chimney was in the way! At first, Ben built out too far. We weren't happy. No worries! He came back, removed the frame and backing and built tightly around the chimney column. Throughout the entire process, they made certain all work was done to code! The initial quote never changed, even though wrenches were thrown in. What seemed like a nightmare, this company turned into a dream! They exceed our expectations and then some. I would highly recommend this company, as well as their employees and subs. Absolutely stellar job! Thank you Chim-Chimney for making our dream come to life.

I called them & requested a quote to repair our chimney. The guy was knowledgeable just like the…read moreother to companies I called afterwards. Before he left he said I had to pay 99.00 him for the quote before he left. He said they would deduct it from the bill if I gave them the job. If I had know that ahead of time I would have moved on. I called 2 other companies and they didn't charge a fee. They both gave me a quote for the same work for nearly half the cost. Needless to say, I hired Alligiance Chimney & they did a fantastic job. Never again will I call Chim Chimney. I felt tricked & taken advantage of.

We hired this company in late winter/early spring to tell us whether the gas log fireplace in a…read morehome we purchased could be converted to a wood-burning fireplace, and if so, to make the conversion. Also, to either repair or replace the back wall of the fireplace as the imitation masonry wall had split. They told us it could be converted and ordered a replacement back wall of sheet metal. They made the conversion. When preparing for the next winter, we checked our propane tank and it was completely empty. We had had it filled in the spring and had not used it at all. We contacted the propane company to check our gas lines and they found that the gas line that terminated behind the fireplace for the gas logs had been cut (actually bent until it broke) when the fireplace was being converted. It had not been capped! A gas line connection had also been bent which caused another leak. Had the leaking gas caught on fire due to us making a fire in the fireplace it could have burnt our house down! Not to mention the hundreds of dollars in lost propane, the metal piece has no feet or anything else to keep it from falling over. We have to shove the firewood grate up against it to keep it from falling over. To beat all that, when I tried to send a certified letter, return receipt to the registered agent for their company, it was returned as the company had moved. I wouldn't trust this company to do ANY work of ANY kind - ever!

After the no show he didn't answer any calls or texts and we had to scramble to find another company as we were on a deadline. After having another chimney issue they were recommended by a trusted colleague so I decided to give them another shot. Appt was "around 10:30" so I left work and arrived at 10:18. I stayed and waited until nearly 11 before I called to check on their arrival time and they said they already came and left because no one was home. A phone call when on their way and/or a call before they made the judgement call to leave would have gone a long way. The prompt for my review, though, is the way the owner handled the situation. He was extremely disrespectful, he acted as if his lack in communication was my fault, and the conversation ended with him saying "I don't like your attitude and I don't want to do this job for you anyway." I've heard he's a nice guy but that was certainly not my experience. All of it could be prevented with better communication and quite a bit more professionalism.

One of the reasons I scheduled an appointment was to have chimney cap looked at as well. Guess running a vacuum up the chinney/visually looking at it from the living room, while being in and out in 15 minutes, is their idea of an inspection. Save your time and spend a little more money by going with someone else!
