I cannot praise Osmin enough for fixing my wood burning fireplace! It was an old fireplace and the house got very smoky for days every time I built a fire. Before I found Osmin, I had gotten 2-3 other companies to come, evaluate and give me estimates for the repair. But I just did not feel comfortable with their explanation of the problem and how they were going to fix it. And, Osmin was the only one who could guarantee he could fix my smoke problem. Evolution is a small business and Osmin is the one who evaluates your chimney, knows exactly what needs to be fixed, creates the quote and performs the work himself! I think that was the big difference between him and the big companies. Also, he was very honest and gave a good price. He did so much work: remove the old terracotta liners, install new metal liners for both my fireplace and furnace, built up the brick wall between the two shafts (there was a big hole which was the main reason the smoke was coming back into the house and which none of the other companies addressed), coated the interior with high temperature cement. Then he worked on the exterior: power washed the stained bricks, replaced some damaged bricks, replaced the chimney cap, and even matched the color for the exterior mortar. It took him 7-8 days to finish the work on my chimney. He only takes on one job at a time which I also appreciate. Lastly, the smoke problem was fixed! I was truly amazed. All the smoke went up the chimney and I barely smelled any smoke in the house. Even on days when there was a little breeze outside I could enjoy a beautiful wood fire in my fireplace. Thank you so much, Osmin! I am truly enjoying my fireplace now. read more

I highly recommend Evolution Chimney Services. Osmin is great to work with. He is very knowledgeable and his prices are reasonable. I originally asked him for an estimate to replace my crown and flue, which were cracked and repoint the shoulders which were in bad shape. Since I had the crown and flue worked on not too long ago, he encouraged me to try and get the work redone under warranty as opposed to just taking my money and doing the bigger job. And glad I took his advice as that work was covered and repaired for free under warranty, so he just did the shoulder work. I really appreciate his advice and trustworthiness. And he does excellent work. The shoulders look great now and I shouldn't have to worry about my chimney for a very long time. Thanks Osmin. read more

Osmin was helpful, reliable, and got my fireplace working again- we will definitely use again.

I highly recommend Evolution for fireplace service and repair as well as dryer vent cleaning. I had Osmin clean our gas fireplace and he did a very thorough job. During the service he discovered that the gas control valve needed to be replaced - not surprising for a 25 year old fireplace. Osmin ordered the part and kept me informed throughout about cost and timing. When he came for the repair I also asked him to clean our dryer vent. He did an excellent job for a very fair price. read more

This company was excellent on communication, pricing, advice, friendliness, and customer service oriented. I had a fireplace changed from a gas to a wood fireplace. I originally asked for a repair on the gas fireplace. He took several hours trying to fix it and it was unable to be fixed without a very expensive repair. Turns out changing it over to wood burning was cheaper. He walked me through the process, explained pro's and con's and completed the job as promised. I would highly recommend this company for any fireplace needs, gas or electric. read more

Extremely happy with the service. Reasonably priced and even spent extra time of his own to figure something out that was previously configured incorrectly by someone else. Nice guy. Efficient and very knowledgeable Definitely recommend read more

I called evolution after being told the first appointment to fix my gas fireplace was February. When I called Evolution they offered to come out that day. They inspected the fireplace. Noted some earlier work deficiencies and quoted me a price to fix some earlier shoddy work. The estimate was fair. They scheduled a visit rebuilt the burn chamber, replaced the 10 year old unit and did it for a fair price. I'll have them back to fix a bad job on the outside chimney this spring. Great work great company read more

Evolution Chimney Services (Osmin) did a great job! Not only was he very responsive (he was able to service the fireplaces within one day), but he showed up on time and was very personable. Our house has a gas fireplace upstairs and a wood fireplace downstairs. Neither had been used in several years. He was able to diagnose the (many) problems with the gas fireplace. After he cleaned the chimney and the fireplaces, he was able to safely repair the gas mechanism in the upstairs unit and get the fire working again. Not only did he provide the promised services, but he also explained how the fireplaces were constructed, including showing us pictures from inside the chimney that reflected damage we wouldn't have been able to see if he hadn't pointed it out. He climbed up on the roof and performed an inspection of the chimney exterior, reporting back some of the issues that he found (and also helping to explain the source of water in the fireplaces). For both of these issues, he has promised to send us an estimate for repairs. He was careful to roll out protective mats to keep our house clean. All things considered, I'm pleased to have found Osmin online and to have hired him and his company to help us out. The fireplace looks great! read more
