One call, appointment scheduled and Sean showed up right on time. Sean used a camera, showed me the sticks and nesting materials inside (serious risk for carbon monoxide not exhausting), did a full clean out and best part, was able to save the cap and re-secure it. All for an extremely good price. Send your business to this fantastic company, highly recommended!!!!

Needless to say it had bever been cleaned and needed it terribly. In doing so found out there are numerous things that need to be repaired on it that we can not afford to repair at the moment. So we will go this winter unable to use it per code. I will say that the technician that came out was very knowledgeable and did a great job cleaning it. Im sure we will get around to getting it repaired so we can enjoy it.

Her communication was on point the whole way through always kept it real, listens, and genuinely tries to help. When it came time for the work, Mario and Simón came out and were fantastic. They handled a full parging of the smoke chamber, installed a Charred Rugged Split Oak log set with remote, moved the gas line, painted the inside of the firebox with black paint, and prepped everything for us to add the rocks. Super professional and nice. The whole process was smooth, transparent, and high-quality. Pro tip Zelle is preferred.

We hired ChimCare for what should have been a routine inspection and sweep, and instead ended up…read morewith a serious safety incident and very poor workmanship. Their technician left the gas running before ignition, causing a fireball to shoot out of the fireplace while I (and our dog) were sitting next to it. It singed the worker's hair and melted his phone case/phone, this easily could have resulted in a serious injury or property damage. It also became clear during the visit that the technicians didn't know how to operate one of our fireplaces. They had to text photos to someone else for instructions and still could not get the second fireplace working (which we later discovered is controlled by a simple wall switch). Despite the lack of safety and technical competence, we were charged a 50% mid-service up charge for "deep cleaning" sweep, with no clear explanation of what that covered beyond the original inspection & sweep service, all while we were trying to calm our dog, who was scared from the fireball. The stone on one fireplace needed crack repair, but the workmanship was sloppy. Sealant was accidentally smeared onto our marble facade on the outside of the fireplace and not cleaned up, and the color of the sealant doesn't match the stone in our fireplace. None of this was disclosed beforehand, and now it will require further repair to fix. We reached out via phone and email multiple times asking for a resolution and gave the company every opportunity to address the issues. It has been over a month with zero response from management. We are now having to dispute the charge through our credit card company. Based on the safety risk, lack of technical knowledge, the questionable mid-service up-charge, and complete lack of accountability or care to resolve these issues with us, I would not recommend this company.
