After trying to contact multiple different chimney service companies for the last month, we were so…read morehappy when Pinckletink returned our phone call for a request. We had reached out to three other companies, two of which we never even heard back from and one who said they wouldn't come this far out to our house (only a town or two over.) We were in desperate need of a chimney sweep and inspection. The woman who returned my call was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and got us booked with an appointment for the following week on a Monday morning! The two gentlemen who showed up to our home were very nice, professional, and knowledgeable. They went right to work and seemed to have everything taken care of in not talk much time. Although I wish the results of our chimney inspection were better (thanks previous owners of the house), the inspection was thorough and seemed reasonably priced. The young gentleman who gave me the results of our inspection was actually the owner of the company and said they would be emailing over photos of the complete inspection along with an estimate for any repairs we would need to have done before potentially installing a wood stove. If you're in the need of any chimney servicing, I highly suggest Pinckletink. Friendly, professional, and knowledgeable!

Both the person performing the chimney sweep and the person whom I paid the bill for over the phone were really rude for no apparent reason. I have no other chimney service to compare them to in regard to quality of job performed so I can't say they are better or worse than anyone else. However, I do know I will not contact them in the future just due to the fact they were so disrespectful.

I always assumed that because I was getting an annual furnace tuneup and cleaning that that was enough. Turns out I was wrong! Boiler technicians aren't chimney experts and things do build up over time. I contacted Dana at Larabee Chimney Services--he had actually helped install my then-new chimney liner ten years ago along with Pickett's which is how I was referred to Dana. (I was very happy with Pickett's.) He confirmed our appointment the night before and then, per my request, called when he was on his way. He and his helper inspected my chimney and liner. Turns out it didn't need a cleaning. I had my checkbook ready and asked how much? NO CHARGE! As a homeowner I really value contractors who are honest, experienced, professional, personable and charge a fair price, and that defines Dana! We are considering getting a wood stove and will definitely pick Larabee to install the new liner if we end up getting one!

They discovered that my woodstove inserted into the fireplace had a back plate attachment that made it impossible to get to the stovepipe connection going up the chimney. They pulled out the woodstove, removed the back plate and performed a thorough cleaning.

David and his assistant were extremely professional and efficient. Not a speck of ash was left behind. I highly recommend Baker Chimney!
