The technician, Val, communicated with me on time of arrival which I greatly appreciate. Val was very professional and alerted me to a serious issue with my very old chimney that I didn't know was present. I am thankful. He also provided me with options and excellent explanations of each. In the same visit I learners that Lone Star provides other services such as gutter installation and services. That's my next appointment to schedule with Lone Star! On an unrelated he was super sweet to my pestering dog.

UPDATE, 10/28/26:…read more Eli, the affable company head, responded to my original review and came out to inspect the job site in person, sporting white socks. It was evidently important enough for him to meet with an unhappy client that he drove out to work on the day of Sabbath. He struck me as a standup guy and a shrewd businessman trying to get in front of potentially damaging publicity. He assured me that he would drill the technician on the importance of proper regular equipment maintenance. Jacob, the technician, cleaned the inside of my chimney only to end up contaminating the whole house when the dust-spewing vacuum cleaner, instead of capturing the dislodged creosote, blasted it in the general direction of the kitchen in a carcinogenic dust cloud, covering everything in its wake--with the ceiling fan further exacerbating the dispersal of particulates. Eli said that his now-six-year-old chimney business averages roughly 20 jobs per day and, occasionally, people make mistakes--that workers are required to check their vacuum cleaners rigorously to ensure mishaps like this don't happen. I'd argue that this can't possibly be an isolated incident, a Jacob-specific problem. Eli requested that I not mention in my updated review that he had given me a partial refund as a gesture of goodwill to be used toward deep cleaning because he worried some people might glean the wrong lesson from it and perhaps try to extort the company in the event a job goes wrong again. I'm including it here, however, because I think it should serve as a reminder that the company paint a realistic picture of just how messy an indoor chimney cleaning can be and that a client be able to properly assess the risks and to opt out if they so choose. The kicker is that things didn't have to pan out like this. Jacob had done a beautiful job with my chimney ON THE OUTSIDE, power-washing it, filling in the gaps with fresh mortar, and putting a new cap on it. It's just that the cleaning ON THE INSIDE, which was FREE, went wrong in all the ways it could have gone wrong. Eli left my house with the bottom of his formerly pristine feet covered with soot. He was apologetic and good-humored. The now revised three-star review reflects his genuine effort to right a wrong. I wish I could give his business five stars. * * * * * My chimney guy just left my house, leaving in his wake a film of fine black dust, no doubt from the blasting of the creosote off the inside of the fireplace, on EVERY HORIZONTAL SURFACE IMAGINABLE in the house, including the kitchen, which is nowhere near the fireplace. It's a small house, yes, but still. Now I have to wipe down every conceivable surface inside the house, horizontal and (likely) vertical, and wash EVERYTHING. The fracking floors are slick with soot now. Be careful what you ask to be done. I was certainly never prepared for the aftermath of this chimney sweep / fireplace cleaning--especially as I have never used and will likely never use the fireplace. The fumes from the fireproof paint have been etched in my brain forever and are still making me woozy. Don't be like me. Ask questions before you agree to anything. Lone Star, you may want to invest in a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. This company seems to misrepresent itself by touting the "Asian-owned" badge. When asked to clarify, Michelle from the company told me she had no idea what I was talking about, that there are no Asians at this business that she knows of. Yelp, what's that about?* ------ *Eli reported that he would contact Yelp about this claim, and it has since been removed.

It was neat watching the camera go up and seeing everything inside the chimney, so that when they gave me a quote to fix everything, I felt like it was honest as far as the scope of work went. As far as the price, I'm not sure, as I haven't gotten comparable quotes yet. It wasn't outrageous though. I am docking one star for two reasons: One is the loooong wait. I mean, look, it means they're really busy, which means they must be good and in high demand, right? But a month and a half is probably the longest I've ever waited for a contractor. That said, it turned out well. Also, they didn't go up on the roof to take a peek at the chimney during the inspection. I was kind of expecting that, though it was almost three stories up and I'm sure he didn't bring a ladder for a house that tall. But still... Hmm. Not sure if that's usually part of the process. Also, I forgot my tech's name, but he was a really nice guy. I enjoyed sitting there just chatting with him as he scoped my chimney. All in all, a good experience.
