They even fit me in before Christmas ahead of schedule. Wasn't cheap but considering amount of work done I think it's been totally worth it. We've enjoyed several fires during this abnormally cold winter. Would recommend this company they know what they're doing.

I called again so that I could make an appointment for the work they said need to be done on the outside of our Chimney. Still waiting for a response. This is something that has to be done in warmer weather because of the bricks and outside Chimney work. I will update my review when the job is completed. Which includes setting up an appointment for the additional work need outside of my Chimney with the brick work. I do appreciate their honesty about for safety reasons to not use the fireplace.

Steve and his team replaced our tired old gas log fireplace with a new, beautiful, full-enclosure gas fireplace. From the beginning of the project until the end, Steve and his team were friendly, courteous, prompt to reply, and genuinely took pride in their work. Steve made sure that at the end of the project, he was there to ensure that the inspection passed without any issues. He also made sure that we, as the customers, had an opportunity to ask any questions we had about the operation of the fireplace insert. Steve and his team also refreshed our 20+ year old gas lantern in the front yard, replacing the old mantle system with a beautiful gas flame and refinishing it from top to bottom. We could not recommend Steve the Fireplace Guy more highly. You will not regret selecting Steve over the competition.

Called Amazing Flame; was familiar with them from having periodic service before. Nolan D was on time, set up very efficiently, worked very methodically and was very clean. He was clearly knowledgeable and experienced. Performed a full diagnostic and a very thorough service -- important for a gas appliance. Not only brought the fireplace back into original working condition, but went to some trouble to remove battery corrosion from remote control receiver and save the cost of a new one. That was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. Amazing Flame isn't cheap but the expertise and value are there.

They are professional, punctual, knowledgeable and do good quality work. I very much respect the…read moretechnician, but the problem appears to lie with the company's practices and fees. The main problem and downside is that they are very expensive and overcharge. Despite the Yelp page saying that the company provides a "free estimate", I was quoted $49 for the technician to travel. In addition, if I had not chosen to go ahead with the repair, the company would have charged me an additional $150 diagnostic fee. Essentially, despite the yelp profile stating a "free estimate", it will cost you closer to $200 to get a quote. I see this as false advertisement. In addition, when the technician concluded that the problem was the capacitor, I received a final quote of $600. When I googled the price of the same capacitor online, the price range was in between 75$ - 150$. Essentially, they are charging a premium of at least $450 per replacement for a single part (capacitor). Despite their professionalism and quality work, I do not recommend this company for the reasons stated above. If price is not a concern for you, and you would rather pay twice the market value for a job then you should definitely choose them. EDIT: I actually googled the price of a capacitor and offered to buy my own. I was told that by the technician that if I purchased my own capacitor that the company would not install it. In conclusion, they did not address any of my concerns. Unfortunately, after reading the other bad reviews, there seems to be a consistent pattern of discrepancies between what they tell customers and what they instruct technicians to say on site. Making an honest living is so much more rewarding than making it dishonest living.

The crew that came to install the insert were competent and efficient. They solved several unusual problems particular to my ancient masonry.

Guy was nice because he looked around my home and saw money. When I received the quote and asked how long it would take, no response was given. Big red flag-shady. Did it myself for fifty bucks in materials, which included a $10 masonry bit (tool to use again), and it took three hours. Five hundred an hour is fifty dollars more than what I pay my lawyer.

When he came he cleaned the chimney and serviced the fire box for the Jotul woodburning insert. Then he serviced our Heat N Glo gas fireplace. After he left I noticed the gas fireplace was not operating by the remote switch as it had been previously. I had asked for two receipts, one for the woodburning fireplace insert and another for the gas fireplace, which was promised to come by email. After a few days I tried to call Simple Sweeps to get the receipts as promised, but there was no response to calls or texts. A few days later, a heat exchange pipe fell out of the chimney of the fireplace insert while putting a log on the fire. I hope that this unfavorable review gets their attention and they contact me to correct the problems and provide me with the receipts I am entitled to.

I am so happy I chose Frederick County Chimney Sweeps to have my fireplace and chimney inspected…read more Harry was fantastic. He took the time to show me and explain the few issues with my fireplace. All fairly minor and even things I could do myself.
