    Gasoline powered monster vac used by Ron.

    I have been looking for a neat, professional experienced chimney cleaner for 3 years. This is the 3rd company I've hired in the last 3 years, in search of a permanent company I can trust. I called Ron, he picked up the phone, and explained that he is personally on every job. I liked that. He quoted the price on the phone for the 2 woodstoves. When he arrived, he put down drop cloths from the door all the way to the stoves and started his work. There are 3 things you want to look for when finding a contractor to clean your chimney: 1. They use a rotary "weed wack" technology to fully clean the chimney. Many companies simply use a sweep that just feathers the creosote, but does not dig in and remove it. Make sure to ask this question. The technology uses a tip with vinyl strings like a weed Wacker, with 3 foot rods that get added as the tip is pushed up, and attaches to a drill that spins the tip to clean every inch of the pipe on the way up. 2. Does not let ash and creosote drop out of the piping system so it never has a chance to create dust and ugly soot. The prior contractors allowed the creosote to drop behind the stove, and then scooped it up and vacuumed it. But this allowed soot to travel in the house and a very thin film on my furniture. I can tell you that Ron prevents any soot by vacuuming all the creosote before it drops out of the piping by keeping a strong vac in the pipe before starting the sweep. 3. Previous sweepers had portable vacuum cleaners which they were proud of as powerful. Compared to the monster vacuum cleaner Ron has, those are all in junior league. Ron has a huge vac built into his trailer which I believe is 35 hp. It is the biggest vac in RI for chimney sweeping. The vac runs in gasoline, and he has 100 ft hose. I was very impressed by this vac system and how powerful it is. And yes it is loud, but thankfully outside! See the attached photo of his set up. Ron cares, does not rush, and open to questions and special requests from the homeowner. Check if your chimney sweeper uses the 3 methods above. If not, call Ron!!

    Fireplace repaired and ready for use!

    Ron responded very quickly to my inquiry for an estimate. He came out to inspect the fireplace in my recently purchased home within one day. I was very impressed with his explanation of each and every repair he recommended and even the resources he provided for work he wasn't able to do. The fireplace looks brand new again! I definitely recommend him for any fireplace repair and cleaning needed;he was very quick and courteous. I will definitely be calling him again for future cleanings!

    This has to be the most unprofessional experience of any business I've ever encountered. Because we…read morewere not satisfied and were charged over $500 for work not done, my husband and I gave this business a bad google review. (After requesting a refund that was refused). Unfortunately, when you own a business you get good and sometimes bad reviews. The owner was so mad at the review, and that my husband voiced his frustration on his personal social media, she contacted his employer through facebook. She harassed his employer continuously to let her know her feelings about my husband's character and that she wouldn't support her business because of his involvement. She was literally trying to get him fired for bad reviews. I owned a business for 10 years. I got a couple bad reviews along the way about employees work and had requests for refunds. I did so willingly because the customer satisfaction outweighed my ego. I would NEVER call a clients employer after they left a bad review to voice my personal opinion of them. It's absolutely insane that the owner took this route instead of just refunding the money. The owner did offer to have someone else come to do the work but our trust in the company had been diminished. We wanted a second opinion and got one. That's also the prerogative of the customer.

I gave the tech a knee brace I had that was custom made for me when I tore my ACL/MCL and cost over $4,000 because I felt so bad for him. Chimney sweep still charged my card that I had given them to book the appointment for no services rendered. They offered to come back and "re-do" work that was never done and the owner admitted as much in writing, but at this point the way they spoke to me on the phone, wanting to bring back the injured tech basically to shame him in front of a customer and even told me if there were no brush marks in the chimney he is fired, I don't want anything to do with your company. They told me my fireplace needed a new liner amongst other things and was not usable so why would you charge me to clean it? They also charged me for an oil flue cleaning and I didn't notice this till a few days later but there is a giant tag on it that says it was cleaned on 1/6/26 by the woman we bought the house from (just closed on it weeks ago). I have confirmed the cleaning with the company that services the oil burner and they are sending me the paperwork confirming this. They quoted me a price of almost $10,000 for repairs verbally but never sent the estimate. I also had 2 chimney companies come in for repair estimates and they both confirmed (in writing) no cleaning was done here and I had company that day and they can confirm no vacuum was ever run and no cleaning ever happened. I was told my dryer vent would be cleaned for free on the phone and they wanted over $100 to clean it the day of. With all this they refuse to refund the money they charged me. This is unethical business at its finest. The pic of the cleaning door shows its rusted shut and was never opened.

The first sales man I talk to when I brought the door to them was great. Talk about the issues. Called to resolve how to best fix them. When the door was finally ready, I went to pick it up. And the was a different salesman at the desk. The original guy I was told was busy with another customer. So I had to deal with Kevin who proceeded to speak to me in a rude tone immediately. Told me my door was not there. Lie. I could see it sitting on a box. He was speaking to me so loud and rude I has to ask him why he was talking to me like this. other employees that were working there witness the exchange going on , and said nothing!! When I checked the door gasket it was not properly finished the two ends were not together part of the gasket was pulled down and gasket material was all flayed out. I ask the rule guy if he thought this was good work ? He starts the yell at me again and says come back in a week! And yelled at me to have a nice day!! I Forgot to get a receipt. When I asked for one Then threw it on the counter at me .Yelling at me again to have a good day.. Sorry so long winded. So I call to speak to the owner. Who called me once and I was working I missed the call I finally called when I could. His first comment was I called you twice... me ok I don't see that on my phone. Anyway he said he spoke to his employees. they said they they heard the both of us yelling ". Me) really !! I'm the customer. I only Came to get my door you've had for 31/2 weeks As for his employee the owners comment was " I don't know what his problem was " Me) oh so that's ok with you! The the owner said that before I came in that day, A family with a special needs child must have touched the gasket and had routined my gasket. Me ) really your blaming a " special needs child " me unbelievable " To conclude that ridicules episode the owner said he would deliver the door to my house and how was I going to pay the $100 repair! Me really you want me to pay for being verbal being harassed at your place of business. ( Him oh ok) same shitty attitude . The own did deliver it. They have a bad rating on yelp . Which he argued about too! My answer is him is that he has clearly been overrated. WTF I only went to get a simple gasket fixed
