Allen was great. He worked with us to fit us into his busy schedule, and really pulled through with…read moregetting the materials on such a short notice. We needed holes cut in the concrete block walls between our basement and crawl space for ductwork that our HVAC contractor was putting in and for the cells of the surrounding blocks to be reinforced based on report guidelines from the structural engineer. Allen did everything perfectly, efficiently, and at a very fair price. We were really impressed with the quality of Allen's work. As part of the job, Allen repaired an old hole in the concrete block wall, and it looked so good that we couldn't tell it had ever been repaired except for the fact that the blocks looked cleaner. Allen came to us highly recommended to us by word of mouth, and we hear he does awesome masonry work and builds beautiful chimneys. We were very glad to have found him and hope to be able to work with him again in the future for other types of masonry work.

First Choice Chimney Service was wonderful to work with! Our house was having chimney/wood stove…read moreair flow problems and we hired Michael to add an outside air intake. This was to improve efficiency and heat output by helping our older wood stove achieve optional combustion temperatures. We also wanted to avoid an issue where soot had blasted through any crevice in the stove twice when oxygen level shifted quickly (at least that is what I think was the issue; I am no expert). This outside air intake would also help oxygen not be depleted in the room. It was an unusual request to make because of the type of wood stove we have but we wanted to make the system more functional and Michael installed the intake. He did good work the first day but I wanted to comment on his helpfulness the second day he came over. After the install of the air intake, the downstairs of our house was very cold because outside air was streaming through those same crevices that soot got through. Michael came back quickly after we called to add special insulation where he could on the stove and around the pipe/tubing leading outside. He made sure everything was sealed extra well and also put in a sort of switch thing to open and close the tubing when needed. This cold air coming in was not Michael's fault; it was because of the kind of non-pedestal older wood stove we have. I don't think any of us realized how many crevices there were that air would seep through. We are grateful that Michael came back to do these extra steps and fix our system at no extra charge. It was obvious he wanted to make sure we were happy with the work overall, and we are. We would hire him again and probably will if we have future issues or want to install a new stove one day!
