Cleaned out and ready for action Nov. 2023
Rebecca D.

What a great company! I don't think I have had the double chimneys cleaned for about 20 years. I looked on Yelp and these guys got great reviews and they were able to come within a few days, during the busy November season. They protected the rain gutters while putting up the the ladder. Armand and Andre were courteous and explained a few fire-safe tips and showed me how to open the damper. They were upfront and reasonable with the pricing for our 1938 house's needs. Armand recommended some repair work to the flashing and concrete cap that we will be doing soon. Would give them 6 stars if I could!

After

The windstorm last week blew off our chimney cap and honestly, if it didn't land in the driveway, I might've never noticed it missing. Called around to replace the cap asap before birds make a nest in there or rain coming down. Armond responded quickly and was able to come out the very next morning. He assessed the repairs needed and got to work quickly. As someone who doesn't know much about chimneys, Armond explained well why the cracks on the crown can be an issue when it rains. Extremely honest and an expert at his craft. The after pictures! Would definitely call again for any chimney related work in the future and recommend to friends & family.

I can't thank them enough. From the first call to the final wave bye, this company was exceptional! He returned my call in a timely manner, explained the process and provided a fair estimate. I called a few days later to schedule the appointment and again he returned my call promptly. Armond & Andre showed up on time, explained the process and went to work on this old chimney. Armond was kind, friendly and knowledgeable. Once they were finished, they cleaned up and off they went... with the exception of my now clean chimney, you'd never know they were here. Great job

I have an old-school wood-burning fireplace that had never been properly serviced, so every winter…read moresmoke would seep into the house. Michael inspected the chimney with a camera and quickly found the problems. The original damper was mounted low and blocked much of the smoke chamber, the smoke chamber itself was rough and poorly shaped, and the deteriorated flue liner left large gaps that disrupted the draft. Rather than simply repairing the chimney, he completely re-engineered how it worked. He removed the old damper and installed a top-sealing damper, enlarged and reshaped the opening into the smoke chamber, then rebuilt and smoothed the chamber so the smoke could flow cleanly and efficiently into the flue. The result is remarkable. He took a 50-year-old chimney and made it work better than new. For the first time since we've owned the house, the fireplace drafts perfectly without a trace of smoke entering the room. As a bonus, it looks fantastic too. His crew was equally impressive. They paid attention to every detail, and even though chimney work is inherently messy, they sealed off the entire work area with plastic and left the house absolutely spotless. I'm incredibly grateful I found Michael. It's rare to find someone who combines this level of technical expertise, craftsmanship, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm for his work. He clearly loves what he does, and it shows in every detail. It's also a reminder of what's been lost. Today, so much of construction is about replacing rather than restoring, and many fireplaces and chimneys arrive as prefabricated systems assembled from factory-made parts. There's nothing quite like finding a true mason who understands how a traditional masonry chimney is supposed to work and has the skill to improve it rather than simply replace it. Craftsmen like Michael are becoming a rare breed, and I'm grateful there are still artisans who take this much pride in their work.

Michael and his team are wonderful! I wouldn't bother hiring anyone else for any work needed to our…read morefireplace and chimney. I first reached out to Michael for an inspection when we were in escrow on our home. The home was built in 1967 and nothing had been done to the fireplace/chimney since then. He was incredibly thorough in his inspection and report, to the point that both the seller agent and our agent asked how I found such a good inspector. His quote for repairs was extremely fair and his detail helped us get a credit for the repairs needed. Fast forward to once we moved in, I reached out to Michael to schedule and he was able to get his team out less than a week later. It was over summer, so I would guess in fall/winter, it's likely a longer lead time, but he's extremely nice and accommodating so I'm sure he helps people if they are in a bind. Michael said it would take 2 days to complete the work, which it did (this is honestly refreshing because usually people quote less time and then end up going over), his guys were prompt and did a great job on all the work. They cleaned up after themselves and left the space looking just the way it was before they came. Michael then came out at the end to check out the work and ensure it was up to his standards. He installed faux wood logs and charged exactly what he paid, he didn't upsell us or anything. 10/10 would recommend!

After doing an initial inspection, Tom gave me a fair price for chimney cleaning, cap installation, crown repair, wire mesh install around the vent and mortar joint repair-all things necessary to make sure the fireplace was safe to use.

He brought in a device that was supposed to video the chimney. He told me no squirrel. I believed him. He then said he would add a screen over the chimney. The whole thing, the visit, the screen and checking to make sure there was no squirrel = $769.00 The whole visit was 30 minutes. He did the worse job imaginable. Looks like a hack job. mesh wire cut hap haphazardly. Not bent around the edges all the edges on 4 sides are uneven and ragged. The squirrel's dead body is now stinking up my living room. Then he pressured me into giving him a 5 star review. I had injured my back and wasn't able to get up on the roof and look at it myself. I should have insisted he do everything over again. Horrible experience. I wish I found the other horrible reviews before I called.

After connecting with the company on Yelp, I sent over the full inspection report ahead of the appointment. Before even arriving, Joseph had already reviewed everything thoroughly and came prepared with thoughtful answers to all of our questions. When access issues prevented him from completing the inspection on the first visit, he promptly returned the following week to finish the assessment without hesitation. Not only was he able to track down the replacement part, but he ultimately saved us a ton of money by avoiding a full chimney replacement. He returned the following week to complete the repair, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. Joseph was honest, responsive, incredibly kind, and professional throughout the entire process. He cleaned up carefully after the work was completed and made what initially felt like a very stressful situation feel manageable. We would absolutely work with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for trustworthy chimney or fireplace work. Great value and great service.

It's refreshing to work with a company that truly values customer service. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again for any future fireplace service.

Joseph and Irwin set up the cleaning process after the inspection and the whole service was fast, reasonably priced and super clean! Joseph explained that the chimney cap on the house was badly deteriorated and needed replacing, which we also did and I was really glad that he noticed that. He had a new one in the truck so we didn't have to make a second appointment. I feel really good about the cleaning bc it probably hadn't been done in decades. Before he left, Joseph told us that they also install grates and ceramic logs and he recommended those instead of real wood for safety. We'll definitely be reaching out to him to get those installed next. What a great company and what a great team with Joseph and Irwin!! Highly recommend!

We're talking about chimneys and fireplaces but not just these things. I'm talking about customer relations and skill, and so I give great praise on these points, overall the way they run their business. Few businesses are accountable, courteous and competent.

They performed repairs on the chimney of my home in Glendale, and their expertise was evident from start to finish. After the initial inspection, they developed a plan to repair the chimney, including the flue and smoke chamber. However, when the technicians arrived to begin the work, they suggested a different approach: installing a new stainless steel chimney liner instead of repairing the existing flue tile mortar joints. After discussing the options with them, I agreed that the new liner was the better solution. What really impressed me was that Fireplace Freddie completed the new installation at no additional charge, even though it involved more work and took longer than originally planned. They clearly cared more about doing the job right than simply sticking to the original scope of work. After the repairs were completed, they came back to inspect everything and make sure the work had been done properly. They also repainted the fireplace, making it look brand new again! Everyone I worked with, from the initial inspection through the final follow-up, was fantastic. They were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely a pleasure to work with. It's refreshing to find a company that takes such pride in its work and stands behind what it does. I couldn't be happier with the experience and would absolutely recommend Fireplace Freddie!
