This is how the guy left my wood stove. Thanks, what a service for $29.
William L.

I called Genesis and they quoted me $149 for a chimney sweep. After they failed to show up in the 9AM-11AM window, I called them to see if they needed to cancel, and was told a tech would call me. An hour later, a guy quietly knocks on my front door. He asks me what I'd like done, and I say that I'm just looking to have the chimney swept. Guy: It's not a chimney. Me: Oh, sorry, flue. Guy: Nah, that's a pipe because it's connected to a wood stove. Me: Uh... Sure, as long as you can clean it. What follows is about five minutes of him jimmying the stovepipe/flue while trying to upsell me on a $650 "deep clean", before eventually getting a section off. When he does this, it's at a bend where some creosote has built up, and it dumps onto the wood stove. He says he can't do an inspection, can't do a basic cleaning, and can only do the $650 deep clean. I explain that I'm not prepared to spend four times what I was expecting, and he asks if I can do "$500 flat". That's still way more than I was expecting and I say no, so he puts the flue back together and asks me to Venmo him $29 for coming out to do the quote. Later that day, I call Genesis back to check the numbers and see if they were in the right ballpark. They refused to say any prices or price ranges whatsoever and said I'd have to talk to a specialist. I say I'm fine with that but it needs to not be the last guy (and give his name). Specialist calls me back a few minutes later - guess who it is? Same guy! He asks why I'm calling again and I explain that I was surprised by the prices he quoted and was trying to check them with the company. Guy: "Are you calling me a liar?" Me: "I don't know you, dude, I was just surprised and wanted to double-check the numbers." Guy: "ARE YOU CALLING ME A LIAR?" Me: "No - " Guy: "YOU GO DO YOUR RESEARCH AND SEE HOW MUCH IT COSTS" *CLICK* I called one more time to let their "dispatch" know about our last interaction, but I doubt random call center worker is going to do anything about it. Edit: Ben from Genesis called after this review to try and work something out and asked if I would delete the review. I declined as I'd already schedule service from another company. He also said that their maximum price on a deep clean is $450, so the guy who came out was apparently trying to skim $200 off the top. And for what it's worth, I called Fire Safe right afterwards. They quoted me $169 and I double-checked that there were no extra markups or anything like that for having the audacity to want the *whole* chimney swept. Edit 2: The guy from Fire Safe sent me this message after he did his sweep and inspection: "You can quote me on this, the sweep you had come in to do the cleaning was incompetent or trying to rip you off, there is no such thing as a "deep clean(ing)" in chimney sweeping, it is either a sweep or a roto-cleaning. If a chimney sweep ever says anything about a "deep cleaning" tell them you're not interested in their services, send them away, and call another chimney sweep. - Roger Austin with Fire Safe Chimney Sweep & Repair" Genesis has continued to reach out to me and ask me to delete this review. They claim that they're taking steps to make sure that this doesn't happen in the future, but it doesn't change the basic fact that they don't appear to have their own people to do work and just subcontract out to others. I would encourage others to find a company dedicated to fireplace and chimney cleaning and inspections.

I reached out to Genesis Home Services to get a quote and Dave was extremely responsive and replied right away. The price was $229 per chimney for the first 9 ft and $10 for every ft after that. I did not get a quote from other companies because the few I contacted were either slow or booked all the way to November. I made the appointment with Dave and he sent a reminder using Yelp right away. On the day of my appointment I met David from Genesis. He wore a mask and was very attentive to make sure I see what the current condition of my chimney was. He then went up to the roof to check the chimney cover. After that he spent about 1 hour cleaning the chimney and showed me how dirty my chimney was. In the end I think I had a great experience with Genesis and will definitely use them again for my next chimney cleaning.

Benjamin!

Benjamin was outstanding! He alerted me when he was on the way, he was prompt, friendly, explained what he would be doing to maintain and clean our gas fireplace. He was professional, cleaned up and showed me how to start the pilot light if needed. He is a great asset to Genesis! I highly recommend Benjamin and so pleased with his service. Outstanding! Ask for him!

David from Genesis Home Services did an excellent job doing a clean up and tune up of our very old gas fireplace. He spent the time explaining how to best maintain and operate the fireplace as well as showing me the potential future issues that might happen with such an old fireplace. He then did an excellent job cleaning all components and checking for all safety issues. I must say the fireplace looks amazing now and working very well. Overall, I found the appointment setup and all the communication to be very prompt and professional by Genesis Home Services. I will definitely recommend and use them again.

I requested a chimney inspection and Ben arrived at the schedule time and helped with an examination on our wood burning fireplace. He identified the issue being lack of deep cleaning at the beginning, and scheduled a deep cleaning in two days. Ben brought all the needed equipment over on the scheduled deep cleaning day, and did a great work to clean up our main chimney, which has not been cleaned for many years. He thoroughly cleaned it up and tested the fireplace. Then it was found that the extra smoke was coming from using a wrong chimney cap. Ben and technician visited us again after the rain stopped, and replaced our chimney cap with the proper one. Now we can finally use our fireplace! Thanks for the hard work and help with trouble shooting and solving our issue.

My husband and I were planning a bedroom remodel, which included taking out a wood burning…read morefireplace and installing a gas insert. After looking through many reviews online, we decided to go check out Max Heat showroom (Crown Hill area). Max was great. Knowledgeable and patient. He answered all the questions we had and helped guide us in the right direction! He supplied us with a few brochures, and we went on our way. He sent us a few quotes based on the inserts we were looking at in the shop. We landed on the Solas 48. Since we were taking care of the build out ourselves, I had a lot of questions on how to do so correctly. Max was so helpful in helping us with the schematics and how to build the platform for the insert to sit on. We had to build it perfectly so the fireplace window was centered in the facade. We paid a 50% deposit for the insert, and it was ordered. He kept us in the loop on order status, and was able to schedule the install once he had a firm delivery date. The day Max and his wife came out to do the install, it was one of the hottest days of the summer (go figure!) I had the AC cranked up for them so they were comfortable during the install! They did a wonderful job! Very efficient, friendly and professional! They showed me how to work the controls and recommend I run the fireplace for 3 hours to do the burn off. (This didn't happen until fall!) We love our fireplace! It turned out beautifully! (We outsourced slabs of porcelain for the surround.) We highly recommend Max Heat for any fireplace needs! They are amazing at what they do!!

I don't give many 5-star reviews, but Logan absolutely deserves one!…read more I called and explained what was happening with my fireplace. Logan listened, asked a few follow-up questions, and then told me one thing I could try that he thought might solve the problem. I took his advice and it worked! Now I have a fireplace that works again, and it turns out I don't even need to replace the pilot assembly after all. What impressed me most is Logan didn't have to help me the way he did. He could have easily just scheduled a service call and replaced the part, but instead he took the time to help me troubleshoot it first. In my opinion, that says a lot about someone and proves he is honest and trustworthy. I haven't scheduled the service yet, but I absolutely will be using Logan when it's time to have the fireplace serviced. Great experience all around. Logan earned the 5 stars!

They showed me how bad it was falling apart to the touch...this got the ball rolling in my head (since i do have some roof leaks from around the chimney maybe) to address the chimney. These guys (again, off the street, no truck or anything) weren't going to be who i hired. So i had 2 companies come inspect & bid (both priced the same) and i went with Ed's. Oscar is the owner, Ed's son, and he's been doing chimneys for his whole life. When the owner is actually doing the work himself (like i do) is always an "im sold" situation for me. He and his assistant were at my place, on time, at a time that worked for me, for 5 hrs/3 days. Oscar explained every detail, answered all my questions, spotted some minor leak related stuff on my roof and fixed it at no extra charge. He is VERY in tune with maintaining high customer satisfaction. He was also conscious of making sure no carbon monoxide would creep into the house. He improved upon that exact situation that a previous heating company handled in an inferior capacity. They left no mess. I'm super happy with the new chimney! i have no doubt if there is any issues in the near future, he will be on top of it.
