We have a fireplace with chimney which was not in use for a few years. Based on the many positive…read morereviews here in Yelp we decided to hire Chimney Plus for an inspection. Chimney Plus owner, Rich, responded to our phone message promptly. We discussed the situation, he was very open about his experience and the cost. On the day of the inspection, Rich showed up on time, and was very thorough and informative. Plus he offered helpful advice regarding other ways of sufficiently heating our home. We highly recommend Chimney Plus, and will definitely go to Rich for all of our chimney advice! Thank you for reading.

i don't normally write reviews, and apologies for the length of this one, but I have to give a huge…read moreshout out to Rich and Chimney Plus. I have a gas fireplace that would not stay lit. I tried a couple fireplace repair services who replaced every component of the fireplace and concluded that the problem was in exhaust pipe and starving the flame of oxygen. I was told I need to find a chimney guy who would likely have to rip it out and replace it. This would be an extremely messy and costly job. I got Rich's name from recommendations I found on Facebook. After speaking with him a couple times about my situation, he told me he doesn't deal with that type of installation. I told him I was stuck because nobody has been able to figure it out. He offered to take a look and made it absolutely clear that he also may not be able to find a solution. I was impressed by his need to set expectations and told him to come and give it a shot. Rich came the next day and in less than 5 minutes he told me "It's not the pipe, it's something electronic. The fireplace is shutting down, not suffocating." He then went up on the roof to confirm that the fireplace was exhausting as it should. He didn't know what the issue was though, and honestly, he could have left at that point. Afterall, I hired him to check the exhaust pipe, which he did. He began to question me about how the fireplace works and what parts were replaced. Then he asked, "do you control the fireplace from that remote?". I said yes and he asked "have you tried another remote?" The remote is the only part that had not been replaced and nobody ever thought of it being the possible cause. We played around with some settings on the remote and suddenly the fireplace was staying lit. Again, Rich could have left at that point. Instead, he stayed about two hours and read through the entire installation manual to see if there could be anything else causing the issue. He suggested I try a few things (furniture was in the way so we couldn't do it right then). He then left but returned a few minutes later to check the gas lines to be sure they were sufficient to support all of the gas appliances in the house. He was determined to check everything! Rich then left, but called me multiple times that day with additional ideas as he continued to research my fireplace online. A couple days later he left printed copies of the documents he found online in my mailbox. All of this was done as part of the initial call! The fireplace is still working. I think his initial instinct about the remote causing the issue was correct. A couple times that the fireplace went out since then, I played around with the remote and it re-lit and stayed list. I'm going to order a new remote which I'm confident will solve the problem completely. Rich is a rare find. He's a nice guy who cares. He went above and beyond and saved me a lot of headaches and a lot of money. I can't recommend Rich and Chimney Plus highly enough.

They are wonderful. They were clean, knowledgeable and friendly. I got a text telling me when…read morethey would be here, I did not have to wait hours at home. They did not try and sell me a new chimney liner or have me do unnecessary repairs. We discussed my upgrading my furnace.

I will use them every year and if I ever need chimney or fireplace repairs I will call them.

Never got around to inspecting my chimney prior to purchasing my house, so wanted to go ahead and…read moreget it checked out before using it. Researching online, Chimney Sweepers was probably the only company that had consistently good reviews. They were also able to come quickly which was nice. Price for a camera inspection--which I wanted to err on--was on par albeit a bit high to me. On the other hand, before to pay more to get something done right (especially when it comes to your house). The workers were on time and did a good job. In addition to the camera work, they checked things out on the roof as well. They worked independently, got everything done quickly, and the company followed up afterwards with video too. Can't ask much more from a niche contractor. Would hire definitely them again if needed in the future.

Another hour passed so I called again to which I was greeted with a story about his truck breaking down and having to transfer equipment etc and tells me that he just walked back into the office and "I haven't even taken my coat off". 1. Why didn't you call me at all to tell me this and explain the delay? I sat around for 3 hours with zero communication from them. 2. Why are you back at your office and not at my house? You can't expect a customer to sit around all day waiting on you without communicating and giving them the opportunity to reschedule. It's 12pm on a Thursday during the work week so you do not have respect for other people's time either. Unprofessional!!! I cancelled and will be using someone else!
