Since my vent goes to the roof rather than the side, I didn't want to do it myself. We haven't used the Chimney since we moved in, and with this heat aren't going to for a while, but wanted it done in case we want to in the future. He set a specific time for the appointment, not a "window" time. He was within 5 minutes of that time, even with that little of a delay, he called and let us know. He was quick and efficient, I think to do both took him right around 30 minutes including the paperwork. He was polite and genuinely pleasant to deal with. The pricing was a special he is running, if you check his page, I think it runs till the end of the month. If you need this service and don't want do/can't do it yourself, I would absolutely recommend him.

Quinn gives his customers the kind of personal attention you really appreciate, and Jose deserves a big thank-you for his work. I highly recommend Quinn, Jose, and A&R Chimney Sweeps!

Since I won't really need his services again for a decade, I figured the least I can do is write a…read morereview to help other Bakersfieldians find a good fireplace guy. And speaking as someone who *needed* chimney-related services, I know that there isn't much info about it here in town, so this review will hopefully be helpful! When I moved into my house 3 years ago, I knew it had a fireplace (that passed inspection), but beyond that, I had literally zero knowledge of its status beyond that. And because I'm totally incompetent when it comes to fireplace care (don't judge me!), I figured it would be easier (and cheaper!) to just let the fireplace sit there with the plant the real estate agent put in it. Three years later, I decided it would be nice to have a roaring fire on Thanksgiving. So, like a grown up, I gritted my teeth and called a professional, full well expecting this adventure to cost me approximately an arm and a leg. When I spoke to the gentleman at Bakersfield Chimney, these fears were put to rest: $95 if it needs cleaning and, if it doesn't, he wont charge me to come out. How many home-repair folks would do that? A plumber or an electrician will totally charge you for their time if they come out for nothing, so it's tremendously nice of Bakersfield Chimney not to charge if it turns out you're fine. He was able to come by the next morning, which is great. In the meantime, I popped over to Lowe's and picked up a set of vented gas logs, so I don't have to worry about wood, no burn days, and cleaning the fireplace. $150 well spent for the lazy homeowner, let me tell you. When Bakersfield Chimney came out this morning, I sprung on him the new logs and asked if he could install them. I knew he'd charge for this, but it was far more reasonable than expected: $75. He did a great job, too- everything looks nice and is working beautifully. So, if you need a chimney sweep or any fireplace related repairs, definitely give Bakersfield Chimney a call. They were quick, friendly, and totally reasonably priced.

It was scheduled for Noon to 2. 20 minutes before Noon, I got a call saying the guys were coming in 20 minutes. Sure enough 20 minutes later Josh Cooper & Bryce McChinak showed up with their masks on ready to work. I have a half Savannah Cat. She is a 'sniffer'. She wanted to sniff these guys and they were SO kind. They let her sniff their legs, their hands, YEP, they even bent down and let her 'sniff their faces and hair!!!! They asked her name, "Gracie", and were attentive to her. I told them she is strictly an indoor kitty. They had to go out at times to get things from their truck and would say, "don't let Gracie out, talking to Gracie while they worked. These guys are very efficient, knowledgeable and explained everything they were doing. Of course Gracie was right there while they were working, they included her!! When you schedule work to be done at your home, you usually wait & wait for the workers, can't wait for them to get the job done and glad to see them go! This was SO different! These guys are GREAT! The job was done in less than an hour. They are polite and personable. Seriously, how many workers have come in your home and did a Great Job while still being very polite AND gracious, even to your CAT??!!! I would absolutely recommend Josh & Bryce with CHIMNEY DR.! The Company and their employees are a Pleasure! If all home appointments were this nice & easy, my home would be in tip top shape. THANK YOU GUYS!! A Great Job!! Peggy Gorrell
