Wolfman did a very good job. Inspection identified deficiencies, estimate or proposal provided a plan to fix them. In our case it was a whole rip out and replace but once we were on the schedule, it didn't take long and the crew removed the old system and installed the new one in one working day. They were friendly, polite and professional. My wife and I are very happy with our new, safe, system. read more

outstanding service, quick and reliable technicians. My go to for chimney cleaning and repair.

The original appointment was on time, and the service man answered all of my questions. The measurements were taken and instructions on what to do on our end were given clearly. Payment was made and the work was scheduled. The scheduled work was accomplished promptly and without complications. Everyone that I dealt with or had any communication with was very polite and accommodating. A very good experience! I would highly recommend. And P.S., my chimney cap is really beautiful! read more

Nice gentleman came out to look at my fireplace, however he gave me an absolutely outrageous bid of over $19,000 to make the fireplace safe and ready to put in a gas log. I called another fireplace company and they gave me a bid of a little over $3,000 to get it ready for the gas log install. Wolfman also wanted $9500 up front... before the work even began. I don't think so. read more

They were great on the front end with equipment sales & installation of gas fireplace log set. The set has a remote to start fire. I called for help to relight pilot light on the set we purchased last season. They wanted to charge over $200 for a safety check before they would answer pilot light question. I looked up the manual online & was able to figure it out. Just be prepared for the safety check potential charge. read more

We had our chimney cap replaced, and had a new fireplace installed. The men that came out were very professional and had our fireplace up and running by end of day. They cleaned up their mess and were very patient and professional when our mode of payment was not cooperating. All in all, I would recommend their services. read more

Returning customers, once again pleased with the customer service, follow through and tidy work provided. Adam just left and was fabulous from start to finish getting our fireplace ready to go for safe use during what we hope will be some cooler weather in Fall/Winter 2022 - read more

I asked for an estimate on inspection and replacement of chimney cap. The estimate was not itemized and included a custom (expensive chimney cap), waterproofing and flashing repair. I asked for pricing on various caps but he was not able to provide me with any figures except for final estimate. He also wanted 50% down payment. Another company provided itemized estimate with a standard cap and similar service for half the price. They may be professional but were not willing to provide any discounts or alternatives to original estimate. read more

Wolfman Chimney & Fireplace - What needed to be inspected/replaced - Chimney Sweeps Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

One edge of chimney cap came undone. Needs a screw or two. 50 dollars to come out. Then wants to replace the whole cap. Or $779 to put in the screws. Bait and switch to get you to put on a whole new cap. And they get your 50 bucks for doing nothing. Look elsewhere if you need repairs. read more

Fabulous company. Thorough, fairly priced, and communicative. We had them do repair work on our 1970s chimney, plus custom build a flue cap. They kept me updated throughout the process and when Jacob came yesterday to complete the work, not only was he a delightful person to work with but an exquisite craftsman who left our house clean and our fireplace looking good as new. 5 stars, all around! read more

So our initial experience with Wolfman Chimney & Fireplace was not the smoothest but Jack reached out and we agreed to schedule another appointment. His technician Jacob, who was sent to clean and inspect our fireplace and chimney, luckily identified a safety issue with the installation of our chimney pipe and insulation in the attic space. Jacob showed us pictures of the construction in our attic and it seems there is zero clearance between the chimney pipe and building materials around it. Thankfully this was identified before we began to burn wood in our fireplace. Had it not been discovered we might have inadvertently heated up the materials that were in direct contact with the chimney pipe. This might have led to an actual fire in the attic after several uses of our fireplace. We are currently awaiting an estimate on labor and materials to make our chimney safe. read more

Most incredible customer service we have ever seen. Jacob and his team did an outstanding job building our new fireplace; very professional, courteous and personable throughout the process. Jack went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy. It is difficult to find companies like this one that place customer service above profit. We highly recommend them! Fred & Rosemary Young read more

I was able to get my chimney inspected and cleaned the following day after reaching out to Wolfman. It was affordable and quick! Highly recommend. read more

Wolfman did a good job of cleaning the inside of my fireplace chimney. However, hold on to your purse! The service person gave me a greater than $3800 quote to an outside cleaning, sealing, cap and top repair, flashing and shingle improvements. I should have said NO! But trusted them to do the minor repairs and improvements. They were polite, hardworking, but the flashing and shingle work? It was not attractive and very expensive for the actual work completed. I did complain and ask for improvements, but I gave them all the money and NEVER heard back from them as promised. Word to those net yet taken grated if...get several quotes and estimates. Never give full payment until after 100% done and satisfied with completed work. read more

John just left after cleaning my chimney and getting my fireplace ready for the coming cold weather (I'm hoping cold weather is coming...). Their customer service was excellent from the beginning, and John is real easy to have around. He got stuck in traffic and knew he was going to be a little late, so they called me a let me know. No problem, but they called! John is pleasant and knows his stuff. He inspected my chimney inside and out, and talked about how I might want to have the siding redone in the next couple of years before the varmints get in. He showed me how to use the propane fire log, so I should be able to have a fire whenever I want to this winter. A pleasant experience all around. Come on, winter! read more

Wolfman cleaned my fireplace and chimney, and they gave me a great deal on a new RealFyre G-45 LP Gas Log set. Jack runs a good business and Rudy is the best around! read more

The 3 Stars doesn't have to do with the actual chimney sweep service. Please BE AWARE of extra charges with this contractor. I made my appointment with them while driving, gave them my credit card as a deposit to hold my appointment, that is required was never told about the 4%. Then the sweep showed up, provided excellent service and then stated "we'll bill the card on file". Well low and behold there is a 4% added to your bill if you pay by card. Called the office to talk to them about the extra charge. And asked them if they were willing to loose potential future business over an undisclosed additional 4%. Was left with the answer, after speaking with the "manager", ...."I'll have to talk to my manager". I gave them 30 min. to call me back. Will update... read more

Our fireplace was a mess!!! Logs had turned solid black and flame did not look good at all. The logs were such a mess there was no way I was going to attempt this one. After doing some research I called Wolfman Chimney and Wildlife. So glad we did!!! Their technician Aaron did a great job. Very polite, explained everything he was doing and what caused our issues. If you have an issue I would highly recommend this company read more

Wolfman Chimney & Fireplace - Chimney Sweeps Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

The technician was polite and on time. He gave me a quote for $2500+ in services I did not ask for, and he had to call his boss to ask about the services I requested at scheduling (replace rusted out damper and broken ash drop cover). His boss (Jack) was highly abrasive and defensive, berated me for asking questions about the quote and other options, and pulled his tech of the job. So unprofessional! As a small business owner myself, I hope Jack's boss sees this and takes corrective actions. read more

In 2018 Wolfman Chimney came and rebuilt my fireplace from bottom to top. I have been unable to use it since that time due to drafting problems and it filling my house with smoke. I have called them multiple times to come and look at it and they just say that I can spend another $1000 to have fans placed to draw smoke out, but they can't guarantee that will work. They have been out to my home 3-4 times over the last 4 years (not to mention numerous emails that were never responded to). The last gentleman that came out said he was pretty sure that the problem was (forgive my ignorance of appropriate terms) the pipe that sticks out at the top is too long and extends to far into the chimney cap for the air to catch the smoke and pull it away. They said they would contact me the next day. Needless to say, that did not happen. I called them about 2 weeks later to ask about the situation and was told they had no record of the visit. After discussing for awhile he said "oh yes, I see the visit here now". I'll have to discuss it with my general manager and get back with you. I was surprised that indeed they did call back and stated that the cap they put on was not the appropriate cap. They ordered the correct one and came out and installed it. Too bad it took 4 years and many emails and calls for them to make good on it. read more

Had them come out to give a second estimate on some repairs that, according to another company, needed to be done on our firebox and chimney. The technician was honest in his assessment and told me that no repairs needed to be done at this time and that the chimney cleaning wasn't done thoroughly. He also let me know of some stuff that we will need to address in the future. The first company was happy to lie to me to get us to pay for unnecessary repairs. I very much appreciate the honesty of Wolfman Chimney & Wildlife and will plan to use them for all future chimney needs. read more

Wolfman representative, Ruby, was extremely professional and thorough in his inspection and recommendations. We appreciated the time he took to explain everything as well as the pictures he provided. We will definitely call them for all future work. read more

I have used this company for the last 3-4 yrs, to clean my dryer vent system. Great company, easy to schedule appts, and they do a great job. Rudy G. just did this service for me last week. Thanks Rudy for great service and helping me with the outside vent! read more

The wolfman team came out and gave me a list of major repairs and alterations that cost several thousand dollars. I paid the large required down payment, and even months later still nothing was done. They kept telling me the parts and supplies were not in. The guy that came out said my roof had been built wrong and I needed major structural alterations. He also said my gas logs were a fire hazard and I needed a new set. And I had a leak on the inside wall behind my fireplace and the chimney cover needed replacing. After almost a year, I asked for my down payment back so I could look elsewhere. Jack wachsermann wanted me to give him more time, etc. I just wanted my money back. He became very angry and even though nothing ordered had come in and nothing had been done at my house, he refused to return any 9f my down payment. He was very angry, yelled at me and hung up on my lawyer. Another fireplace company came out recently and said none of the repairs wolfman listed were needed, my fireplace was sound and safe. I should have suspected something when wolfman proposed such major work and wanted a large down payment. Sadly, I learned their expertise is something other than fireplaces. read more

Fantastic and efficient with INCREDIBLE customer service. Their rep Rudy came out to inspect and sweep our fireplaces and chimney. He arrived within the time window promised, was very courteous and personable and explained everything he was doing thoroughly/was very informative. We actually learned some new things about our type of fireplaces and chimney from him that were very useful information. He also took special care to protect the area surrounding the fireplaces clean and tidy while he worked and cleaned everything up afterwards. There was some confusion with the price the woman who scheduled our appointment on the phone quoted us originally (she was new) and the company was kind enough to still insist on honoring the price she originally quoted even though it should have cost a bit more. A truly great company with outstanding service! Our chimney sweep and fireplace repair go-to for all future needs for sure! Thanks Rudy & Wolfman!! read more

Rudy came out to help us find a water leak coming through our chimney. He was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. He quoted me for the work and was very kind and polite. I am excited to work with this company and get my issue fixed once and for all. They will come water test after the work is complete to make sure it's fixed properly. I will update this post once the work is complete! read more

If you are looking for a reliable, punctual, and expert chimney cleaner, call Jack. My experience using his company's service was great. He came to my home on time, did the work promised, and the fee was in line with same service providers. He'll be my go to guy when it comes to chimney needs. Thank you Jack. read more

They called and cancelled our initial appointment. A nice young man finally came out two weeks later, and inspected our fireplace. We knew from our new home inspection, that the interior box needed some mortar work and it needed to be fireproofed, etc. The young man mentioned possible work needed to the chimney crown or cap on the roof. Two more weeks go by, and a call asking for JUST an estimate from their initial visit, was met with a laugh that they were too busy to provide us a quote. read more

Appointment cancelled before the technician arrived because I questioned their late arrival outside of the scheduled appointment time. I was given the reason "S**t happens." read more

The level of service these guys provide is top notch! John and Aaron did an amazing job with the repairs that were needed on my chimney. They even educated me and explained everything throughout the entire process. Highly recommend this company for your chimney and critter removal needs!! read more

I recently had my entire fireplace replaced. Jacob and Rudy were thorough and polite. I spoke to Both Sarah and Letty on the phone multiple times and they were both eager to please and their customer service skills were thoughtful! Thank you to the entire team for making sure I had a wonderful experience, I appreciate all of y'all! read more

Awesome service. Jack is very knowledgeable, helpful, and willing to go the extra mile. I would definitly recommend his services to anyone.

I researched and called several places to have my chimney cleaned before I located Wolfman Chimney. He had the best prices and reviews on home advisor. I couldn't be more pleased with the service. He did a thorough job cleaning my chimney and and identified a potential fire hazard that even my inspector missed when purchasing the home. He was able to repair my fire hazard and get my fireplace in shape for the winter. I was so pleased with is work that I referred him to several of my friends and they have already called and thanked me for sending him their way. Jack does an outstanding job, I guarantee you will not find a better company around. read more

Excellent service! Very prompt and professional. Andrew was very informative. Would definitely recommend and will be using them in the future. read more

Thank you Jack, Wolfman Chimney, for your excellent work on rebuilding my chimney, especially grateful as the work came at an especially critical time of extreme weather. It is reassuring to have someone as yourself, and your company to rely on for being at my home on time and for the efficient manner in which the work was begun and completed. read more

I recently called Wolfman Chimney and Wildlife in San Antonio to have them come out and conduct an inspection along with a chimney sweep. setting up the appointment was easy over the phone, and I was told I would need to give a $75 deposit which would go towards any work they did. I wasn't thrilled about that, but it was fine as I knew I would be using them for the work. I had been experiencing a smokey smell in my living room that was stronger than usual, especially on cold damp days and I communicated this to the owner (Jack) of the company who came out to my house. He spent some time talking to me and told me that a top damper may help with the issue as it would provide a better seal than my current bottom damper. He also stated that it would be best to wait to do the sweep during the time of the top damper install as the sweep comes free. If i did the sweep now, I would be charged and not credited back even if I elected for them to come out and install the top damper. So I agreed and decided to wait. I was thankful he told me what he did. A few days later, another Wolfman technician came out and conducted the sweep. Polite man and he did the sweep rather quickly which was concerning, but I'm not knowledgeable in this area. sweep was done, I was quoted for the top damper work that I decided to put off due to the amount that those cost, I paid and he left. After the fact, I thought it was odd that neither of the Technicians ever got onto my roof. I called another company to come and quote me on the top damper so I can compare bids, they did not ask for a down payment and their inspection included them getting onto my roof. That made me call Wolfman back. The same lady answered the phone that I made the initial appointment with and when I told her that I was concerned about the inspection not being done she got defensive and basically told me I was wrong, that the inspection was done. She was rude. After calling her the owner call me, and confirmed that there was some miss communication and that the inspection was never done. I appreciated the honesty. I asked if they could reimburse me the inspection piece of the work, but they said the inspection is free with the sweep and I said okay. They did offer to come back, but I told them I had another company out here. After the conversation, I went inside and the new company showed me pictures of my chimney flue and top of my chimney. They said there was no way anyone swept that portion of the chimney. From the pictures they showed me, you can clearly see brush marks on the bottom portion of the throat and damper, but nothing on the flue. There was even old spider webs across the flue. This was the very next day that the sweep was done. I told this to the owner (Jack) of the company after my other conversations with him about the inspection and he sounded annoyed and was rather rude and all he said was, "okay." So I paid full price for a half completed job. read more

Great company all around. Fair prices and very professional staff. We had them repair work that another chimney company did, and they were a pleasure to work with. They always arrived when promised and gave us courtesy calls before every visit. The tech was very friendly and professional. They did not try to sell us the most expensive repair and were honest and fair. Highly recommended. read more
