Last week I had an issue with some water leaking from the seams on the chimney pipe. They could have blown me off. They could have said it was not their fault. They could have said 6 years was to far in the past. But they didn't. Bob, the owner, came out to my house, got up on a ladder and resealed the entire chimney area. And they did not charge me one dime. I believe that kind of customer service and standing behind their work deserves recognition. Use this company; you won't be sorry.

My complaint is about an extra charge of $326.93 for a "Heroes Membership" that I had not asked…read morefor, agreed to, or was told I was being charged for and the mismanagement of this charge by the office staff and manager. The extra charge was in addition to their $340.00 chimney cleaning fee. When I called the office to inquire about the extra charge, I was told the person I needed to talk to was not there, and the chimney tech that serviced my chimney was on vacation. I tried to find contact information for the owner of the business, but was unable to find any, which was as concerning to me as being mistakenly charged over $300, and then having my bank account subsequently overdrawn due to their error. I tried to get to the bottom of how this could have had happened, but every answer I got from the office manager left me feeling more perplexed, bewildered and mistrusting in the company's financial practices. I was ultimately refunded my $326.93 but never offered any sort of written apology or incentive that would lead me to want to keep my business with Chimney Heroes. If they had simply given me a discount on next year's cleaning, and/or an offer to reimburse me for the overdrawn account, I would have felt compensated for the error and wanted to keep my business with them. But you don't just help yourself to a client's bank account after they've trusted you with it to take only what is owed. 3 years ago I spent over $10,000 having Chimney Heroes install a wood stove, and have been a loyal customer for years. During the increasingly frustrating call with the office manager, she told me to make a suggestion as to how they could make it right. I told her that this was why I wanted to talk directly with the owner, as the office manager seemed oblivious to the concept of offering compensation or incentive to keep my business and trust after such a significant error. She clearly wanted me ask for it instead of offering, which added insult to injury. She was condescending in tone and approach, and left me feeling enraged. I am retired and on a limited income and this whole experience has breached my faith and trust in Chimney Heroes, as well as my bank account, and my patience. After 20 minutes I was livid, and she was admonishing me for saying that "this much money is a big f***ing" deal, so I informed her that I was ending the call, and that they had my contact info if they want to make this right. I informed her that I was going to write a review that reflected this experience, and although she balked at this, she continued to be obstinate. A good office manager knows what to do in a situation like this. A good office manager doesn't "handle" a customer, they work with them. That is what I want the owner to know.
