I received five star treatment from start to finish. Called Joe on a Friday of a holiday weekend,…read moregot an estimate on Tuesday and the work was done on Thursday. It could have been done on Wednesday, but it rained all day. The pricing was so fair that I didn't even need to negotiate. I had not looked into chimney repair before, but a bird entering your house like it's Santa will make you consider installing a chimney cap. Joe explained chimney caps to me like I was five years old, in the most respectful way. He explained how the chimney would need two caps because usually the furnace vents through the chimney. He explained how to check for myself in the basement. He was right. He also explained the chimney crown and that it needed to be replaced. I wondered how he could know that since no one climbed to the chimney during the estimate. I asked for pictures before the work started. The crown had cracks but served the house well for 80 years. He was right again. His team showed up, explained the scope of work, gently moved our plants out of the way, and got to work. We also had several bricks that needed to be replaced. That required the team to remove the broken brick, spread mortar, and install new bricks. They match the house well. I napped in front of the fireplace while they worked. I could only hear light tapping from the brick removal process. They sent photos while the work was in progress. Great photos that I will share with you below. Joe and his team exceeded my expectations. The hardest part of getting the chimney repaired was submitting payment - because no one asked for money upfront. 10/10 I would recommend Victorian Chimney Services for your chimney upkeep needs.

I looked at three known fireplace businesses in the area including the company that put in my current insert. I chose American Professional for many reasons. Initial contact was competent and courteous. The assessment was performed by Lyle who was knowledgeable and always available before, during and after the sale. The installation was super professional. The team that came to the house put plastic around the job site (floor to ceiling), ensured that I understood what was happening at each step and the end result was amazing! Best overall value with best price for a better product! I heartily recommend this company based on my personal experience. I couldn't be happier with my experience!

They quoted an excellent price so we made a deposit of half of the price and we established a date in the fall to do the installation. They came with two people on the exact date we requested and they proceeded to do an excellent preparation of the area to be sodded by removing some weeds, roto-tilling and levelling that took many hours. It was more work than we had expected since the proposal only specified "light site preparation". On the next day they arrived with the sod and proceeded to do an excellent job of installing, watering and rolling it. When they were finished it looked beautiful. The men were very accommodating to our requests and very pleasant to work with. Based on our experience we would highly recommend Blue Collar Scholars to other customers.
