This was the second time in three years that Adam has come to our home, and once again his honesty…read moreand professionalism stood out. The first time he visited, he told us we didn't actually need a cleaning yet, and this time he was upfront again, letting us know we could probably get another season before it's necessary. That kind of honesty is rare and so greatly appreciated. Adam is incredibly thorough and takes the time to explain important details about the chimney. From maintenance tips to what to look out for, to help ensure it lasts us a long time. He's also extremely clear, kind, and transparent about billing, and was flexible when we needed to make a change. This is a local business worth supporting. Give Adam your business, you won't be disappointed!

Be very cautious when working with this business…read more After the work was completed, there was a verbal agreement that I would receive a link to their payment system so I could make my final payment, but I never receive it. (The link was sent to me weeks before, but I told the business owner at the conclusion of work that I had trouble accessing it). One day later, I was assessed a penalty of $100 and all the fees that was originally agreed was nullified. I reached out multiple times by e-mail, phone and text to try to settle my balance in a timely manner but did not get a response. Later, I received an invoice indicating that my account will be sent to collections, and I ultimately had to pay significantly more than the amount I originally had agreed upon. This experience was very stressful, and it cost me much more than any other business quoted me and would have ultimately charged me. Based on what I went through, I would not recommend this business.

Requested to find source of mice in my gas fireplace. Ethan was sent to investigate the issue…read more None was found in the fireplaces which he cleaned and plugged an opening in a vent. He went on to check every room in my house for openings and found none. The outside vent was secured with a metal mesh to catch any unwanted animals from entering. He also went upstairs to my attic and found nothing there. The source of the occasional mice visitor is still a mystery but I feel so much better and recommend GARDEN STATE CHIMNEY highly. Excellent service ethic. And even better excellent tech. I highly recommend this company for all your chimney and fireplace needs. VERY FAIRLY PRICED

Dan at Garden State Chimney is a reminder that there are good people in our world. You will not get…read morebetter customer service anywhere. Dan will help you solve your chimney or fireplace issue with a smile. You will feel like you made a new friend. Dan has gone out of his way, on multiple occasions, to help me with my fireplace. His kindness is unmatched. In the past, he has made videos to help me light my pilot light. Today, he coached me through a fireplace issue, and when I couldn't get it to work, he called me and said he was in my neighborhood. He remembered that I am a teacher and might have the day off, and said he could come by to help. He was at my door in 20 minutes and refused to charge me for the visit. Dan runs his business professionally but with an extra dose of humanity and kindness. I cannot recommend Dan and Garden State Chimney enough.

We hired Ryan & Son to perform a Level II chimney inspection during our first home purchase. The…read moreinspection day went smoothly, but afterward we really regretted working with them. They told us we'd need to fully replace the firebox and flue, and that doing so would trigger a series of code issues, recommending a full rebuild in the $15-20K range. This directly contradicted the seller's professional, who said the issues were easily repairable for closer to $7K. We eventually had to bring in in a third party, who confirmed the seller was right and said Ryan & Son seemed to be "trying to sell us way more than what was needed." We felt incredibly frustrated because we paid for clarity and guidance but ended up with more confusion, making our home-buying negotiations unnecessarily difficult. They were not in our corner, even though we paid them to be. A quick check of their Yelp reviews shows others have had similar experiences, so this doesn't seem like a one-off. I wouldn't recommend using this company if you're hoping for honest, helpful insight; especially during something as stressful as buying a home.

They told me I needed a chimney liner. I could have told them that I did not have one. Did I need to pay $199 to be told that? When I asked for the fee back, they said they would only fold half of it in if I agreed to their overpriced proposal. This is not good business although I am sure the owner will have an answer in response to my ad. Actions speak louder than words.

I called on Saturday and they were able to come on Tuesday which I appreciated, because the new A/C…read moreis being installed on Thursday. Malik cleaned our ducts and vents and sanitized them. Sanitizing the individual duct/vents was added ($25 extra for each vent) to the originally quoted package which he said only includes sanitizing the main duct, but I wanted that done after seeing the mold build-up on the vent registers. He also helped taking out the moldy vent registers because it's probably better just to replace than trying to clean them. Overall, glad we did the cleaning, though I wish it was clearly stated the vent sanitizing was NOT included in the quote, because the quote just said "...air duct cleaning includes up to 15 supply vents and returns, two main duct per single unit, sanitizer (to prevent mold growth)..." A little update: Later through the check-in with the owner, the owner Nick answered all my questions, told me how to maintain, and that we won't need to do a cleaning again until a few years later. Also after hearing my concern about the mold on the registers, he said the registers needed to be thrown out and replaced, but the ducts behind the vents themselves didn't have mold so didn't have to be sanitized, even though it was my request to sanitize them. I was told main duct/trunk sanitization is what they usually do and individual duct/vent sanitization is not a recommended practice actually. He offered to refund the extra charge for the vent sanitization that I didn't need. I appreciate that honesty and accountability.

Cancelled on me the first day and came three hours late the next day…read more To clean my dryer vent the guy on the phone said it would be a 100-200 bucks. Turns out they charge $30 a foot and my bill was about $750. They were at least supposed to quote me before doing the work but they didn't. I spoke up and they apologized for not showing me the quote first and charged me 400. I paid. And now that I'm playing it out in my mind, I feel like this might have been all by design. I think I was just played big time.
