Absolutely horrible experience with Clean Flow. They came out to repair the starter on our gas…read morefireplace and said the unit needed cleaning. After servicing it, they failed to put the logs back correctly and left the flue closed. Within hours, soot blew throughout our entire house. Black soot covered walls, ceilings, upholstery, linens, and furniture in nearly every room. The damage was catastrophic. We had to go through our homeowners insurance because the cleanup costs exceeded $60,000. The restoration required professional soot remediation, sealing and repainting walls, cleaning all upholstery and fabrics, and extensive cleaning throughout the entire home. What made this even worse was the company's response afterward. They would not provide the business owner's information or their business insurance information, and they took absolutely no responsibility for the damage caused by their work. We were left to handle the nightmare ourselves.

Over the course of a year they still never properly fixed my pellet stove. Each tech that came out thought it was a different problem. Then they said they're weren't able to find parts for my stove but in 5 minutes I found options online. I ordered the part I needed, replaced it and it works fine now. Sadly that was after wasting way too much money on this outfit. If you haven't engaged them yet, run away while you still can.

First Class Chimney Services just cleaned my chimney and they did a great job! They were prompt (3…read moreminutes early!), clean (not a trace left behind!), fast, and very professional. The lead technician, Tony, was courteous and excellent to work with. Originally my appointment was scheduled for a very rainy day last week, and they did a great job at rescheduling me before Thanksgiving as I had hoped. Overall, top-notch service! I highly recommend them.

Wow I have mixed feelings about First Class Chimney. Let me start off by saying. We rented a…read moretownhouse and used them as a final move out Chimney cleaning and inspection. They arrived on March 17th. They charged us $180.00 for the service. When the tech arrived he cleaned the fireplace and he broke one of the glass doors with his equipment. He said he would replace them at the warehouse within 3 days. I told him we had to turn in keys by the 31st. He promised to have the doors back in 3 days max. Ok I gave them the whole week. No word from him or his manager Josh. Ok so now we are 10 days out and no response and I called Josh and explained that if we are charged for the doors during our walk thru I will be taking this to small claims court. It wasn't then that I was told the doors were available for replacement. Really so you had the doors but didn't intend on replacing something your tech broke until I called again. If you break something it's your job to replace it. Simple as that. If this company had been straight up with me. I probably would have used them for our new house we bought that also has a fireplace. Now I can't trust their services. We'll Josh eventually made sure he replaced the fireplace glass doors two days before the final walk thru so I'm thankful for that. Overall 2.5 stars. Since they finally replaced the doors.

12/19/23 - Fire-Safe Chimney Sweeps G.T. Clift Inc. MHIC #65416 - DO NOT TRUST OR USE THIS COMPANY…read more Do Not Trust Fire-Safe Chimney Sweeps G.T. Clift Inc. MHIC# 65416 nor its owner Gary Clift. Fire-Safe Chimney Sweeps, G.T. Clift Inc. is wholly dishonest, does not complete the work, will not return to correct their incomplete work, and blocks your phone number(s) when you attempt to work with the owner (Gary Clift) to receive a full refund or complete the service. First Warning Sign - Will not accept Credit Cards for services. With a Credit Card, you can dispute the Charges. Fire-Safe is then required to either complete the services or have the Credit Card Company refund your payment. In my case, I am out $475 (Check). I contracted with Fire-Safe to clean my chimney on 12/7/23, only to have the smoke back up into the house an hour after they left the home. I called Fire-Safe (Gary) immediately (12/7/23), Gary stated he would call back that afternoon, but there was no call Back as of 12/18/23. I attempted to call Fire-Safe on 12/18/23, to find my phone number Blocked by Fire-Safe. Second Warning Sign - When you call the Owner 'Gary' they Block your phone number on all their lines. Blocking the call is evidenced by the call going directly to voice Mail on the first ring. Clearly, there is no expectation of a 'Return Client'. When you call from a phone number Fire-Safe has not blocked, they answer immediately or quickly return the call. Yes, this is real and occurred on 12/18/23. Gary returned a call from my work phone within one minute of calling. Gary said he would call me back the following day (12/19/23) however, Fire-Safe has now blocked my work phone and will not return the call. Third Warning Sign - I spoke to Gary on 12/18/2023, he lied to me claiming Maryland Law prohibits Chimney Sweeps from going on a roof to clean the Chimney Cap. To verify Gary's assertion of a Law or Regulation against servicing the Chimney Cap at the roof end of a Chimney, I contacted the Maryland Department of Labor (MD-DOL) that regulates Maryland Chimney Sweep Contractors to ask if this was a Maryland law or regulation? The MD-DOL Employee stated that the Chimney Sweep was not being honest, that there is no such law or regulation, and to stay away. Sadly, this advice is too late for me. If you are reading this, it is not too late for you and your wallet. As of 12/19/23, there has been no response or contact from Gary Clift or Fire-Safe, and my 2-phone numbers remain Blocked. I will call from a new phone number to inform Gary and Fire-Safe of the Maryland Home Improvement Commission Complaint, the BBB Complaint, and Social Media Reviews we are posting in hopes others will not experience our loss of $475, an incomplete job, and how Fire-Safe has rendered our wood stove unusable until I pay a reputable Chimney Sweep to properly complete the work.
