Steve’s Chimney Sweep & Repair

I needed a new chimney cap because there was no cap at all when I purchased the house. Steve came out and said he’d order a cap and when it came in he’d put it on. A week later he was back and he put it on. I wasn’t there, but my wife was. The following day I noticed movement inside my wood stove. There were two birds trapped in the firebox. We had a difficult time getting them out. I went outside and looked up at the chimney. The new cap was on, but I noticed no spark screen on the cap. I figured it a fluke and didn’t feel it was a big deal. The next day tho, it happened again. Two more birds. I called Steve and explained my problem. He said a screen would only dirty up and clog things more often. He really sounded like he did not want to climb back up and fix the problem. When it happened for the fifth time I had to do something. At over sixty years old, I propped up a ladder and took the cap off, bought some screen for it and reinstalled the cap. After talking with other people in the construction trade, they told me chimney caps do not come without screens for the reason of preventing fires on the roof (and fire codes). So I believe he took the existing screen off before he originally installed it. He charged me $ 175 total for his services, but I am not happy at all with what I got in return.

Steve is superb! From my first phone contact, to the completed work, Steve demonstrated professionalism and an authentic commitment to providing personal and efficient service. He picked up on an error that occurred from the re roofing of our home that could have caused a fire. He promptly focused his attention on fixing the problem; I knew we were in good care. I am thankful to find someone as committed to his craft and equally pleasant. Hesitate no further, give Steve a call. Thanks Steve!

Excellent chimney sweep services. Steve is such a nice guy and so prompt and professional. I was even having issues getting a fire started a week after he had been there and he came out within a half hour at his busiest time of year to check everything out as a courtesy to me. Would highly recommend him if you are looking for an honest and professional chimney sweep!
