After our chimney fire, which happened after George Chimney had cleaned flu 4 years in row.

George Chimney "cleaned" our chimney four summers in a row. Then we had a chimney fire on a cold night in early spring. We use only seasoned wood that was many months old when we got it in August 2020. The fire chief said it looked like the top of the flue had not been cleaned. Here is the inspection report: * "After further inspection inside of chimney 8x13 flues some are cracked, completely toasted from the fire. * The damper is no longer working due to fire (the cap and damper were destroyed). * This chimney had so much creosote seems like previous company never cleaned the flues properly. * Fireplace now needs 10x6 stainless steel liner kit with new stainless steel damper kit. * Clean out all debris as much as possible before installment of liner. * The fireplace cover screen is also damaged from the fire dept putting the fire out. $: 7,850.00 Total Cost of Work

You are the only person not telling the truth because I never spoke to you until way after the cap was delayed. I have no clue where your story is coming from. I only talked to your wife and your technician. You were never here and only once did I speak to you after the cap was delayed. I hope you get a better handle on treating your customers because this is not the proper way. O

I had water coming into my chimney during big storms. The first three companies I contacted suggested wildly different options ranging from repointing the fireplace, lining the entire flue, and waterproofing the entire chimney exterior. Someone eventually recommended George the Chimney Guy. They sent someone who checked the chimney carefully and told me that all the other recommended work was unnecessary. They identified and repaired damaged masonry and added a new cap, and so far I haven't gotten any rain coming down the chimney during any of the last few big storms. I appreciated the honest assessment, fair price, and quality of work.

I called on Saturday and they were able to come on Tuesday which I appreciated, because the new A/C…read moreis being installed on Thursday. Malik cleaned our ducts and vents and sanitized them. Sanitizing the individual duct/vents was added ($25 extra for each vent) to the originally quoted package which he said only includes sanitizing the main duct, but I wanted that done after seeing the mold build-up on the vent registers. He also helped taking out the moldy vent registers because it's probably better just to replace than trying to clean them. Overall, glad we did the cleaning, though I wish it was clearly stated the vent sanitizing was NOT included in the quote, because the quote just said "...air duct cleaning includes up to 15 supply vents and returns, two main duct per single unit, sanitizer (to prevent mold growth)..." A little update: Later through the check-in with the owner, the owner Nick answered all my questions, told me how to maintain, and that we won't need to do a cleaning again until a few years later. Also after hearing my concern about the mold on the registers, he said the registers needed to be thrown out and replaced, but the ducts behind the vents themselves didn't have mold so didn't have to be sanitized, even though it was my request to sanitize them. I was told main duct/trunk sanitization is what they usually do and individual duct/vent sanitization is not a recommended practice actually. He offered to refund the extra charge for the vent sanitization that I didn't need. I appreciate that honesty and accountability.

I live in Hoboken and my brown stone condo dry vent requires cleaning. Malik and George are…read moreprofessional. They did a thorough cleaning without leaving any mess. And the service fee is very reasonable. Highly recommend!
