So I called these guys and they were booked out like months in advance for the work I wanted done…read morebecause they're so busy. Which I take as a good sign, and all I wanted was a sweep done and nothing major so the wait was no problem. I was told I would get a call within a certain timeframe, I did, and the service guy even texted me to let me know what was going on as he was running just a hair late. Unlike other companies who just leave you hanging around wondering what's going on and not answering when you call to see what's up, so I appreciated that. The thing that sold me though was that when the guy, Ryan, got here and took a look into our chimney, he asked how often we used it and how long we'd lived in the house and et cetera. So after hearing my answers, he nodded and said the chimney was super clean and that he would get me a card so I could call him in another two years to take another look at it because there was no need to do anything this time. He could have just went on about his way and "cleaned" and took his time and I would have been none the wiser to it. That honesty is hard to come by these days. Will definitely be hanging onto his card to have him come back out. The *only* complaint I have is that they don't accept card payments, so you'll need to find a check or go to the bank to get the cash you were quoted. Even then that's only because they're a small business and the fees for the card stuff is crazy. So. Yea. :)

I would strongly recommend being cautious when working with Appalachian Chimney Service, especially…read moreif you are an out-of-town property owner. I initially contacted them to inspect and repair a fireplace at my rental that was not functioning. After their visit, the scope of work quickly expanded, and the estimate grew to over $15,000. This raised concerns for me, so I sought additional opinions from a licensed electrician and other trusted local professionals. Every single one of them expressed shock at how high the estimate was and mentioned they had never seen pricing that extreme for this type of work. Based on my experience, it felt like unnecessary issues were being identified in order to significantly increase the total cost.

He talked to me about what he found, what he could do and what he recommended and when he recommended it be done.

I had Kevin who is one of the owners clean my chimney. I was able to speak to someone immediately…read morewhen I called and made an appointment for the following week. When Kevin arrived on time he explained what he was going to do and put down drop cloths and brought in his equipment. The cleaning was done from the fireplace to the top of the chimney. I do not use my wood-burning fireplace on a regular basis, but it had been seven years since it had been cleaned and desperately needed attention. He even removed the wood I had loaded for my next fire and then proceeded to remove the damper for access to the flu. Within a half an hour everything was done and there was no dust whatsoever in the house. He then proceeded to go up on the roof and check the top of the chimney and found that I had some cracks in the crown of the chimney. He took photographs and explained what needed to be done. I am very pleased with his thoroughness and professionalism and would highly recommend him to anyone in the area.

I paid $485 (include $40 tip) for an inspection/sweep (including pictures) and didn't receive what…read moreI paid for when expected. After I followed up, I was told it would be sent within 24 hours--but that was just the start of the problems. During their service, the technician removed components from my wood stove and failed to reinstall a cotter pin that secures the front air tube. As a result, the air tube fell down while red hot during near-zero temps when we depend on the stove for heat. I burned myself trying to get it back in place while a fire was active, and I had to deal with an urgent mess at the worst possible time of year. The air tube fell on a log and rolled within inches of the glass, I contacted the company immediately with photos. The owner admitted the technician had been making "a few mistakes recently," yet the situation was downplayed. Ultimately I had to fix it myself because I couldn't wait in freezing conditions and risk further damage. Their idea of "making it right"? A $100 coupon for a future service. After the disruption and the negligence, I'm not trusting them in my home again--so a coupon is meaningless. What really sealed it: The owner's response was condescending and dismissive, telling me I "blew this way out of proportion" and that my understanding was "flawed," instead of taking accountability for a simple but critical failure to reassemble equipment correctly. I compare it to getting your tires rotated and the tech forgetting to put the lugs back on. If you value competent workmanship, urgency when something goes wrong, and professional customer service, AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS. I never received a call, all communication was handled via email. There was 0 accountability for the issue and to quote: "you've blown this way out of proportion" and "your understanding of how things work in a stove is flawed, but that's ok, and is typical of may consumers and that's why we're here.
