Reviews
Write a ReviewThey did a great job, my front steps were broken I had a white PVC banister and slate and brick steps the banister broke and it broke one of the slate steps and it was dangerous it was a hazard I reached out to them immediately they got back to me right away everything was A+. They did a great job they came in significantly lower cost wise than the other folks that did estimates and I did my homework and I got many estimates. They were normal a few of the folks that I've worked with in the past and I have gotten as far as contractors and similar professions are a little bizarre sometimes and everybody from Fred's chimney magic from the front office to the folks that did the work did a wonderful wonderful job and I have nothing but good things to say about everyone from start to finish. They cleaned up they were very competitively priced and they did excellent excellent work. I would definitely recommend them. I have a very large driveway they power washed sanded and sealed it.
The job was scheduled right away and was done 2 days after the estimate. Mike and the crew did an excellent job repairing the front stoop of the house. It almost looks like an entirely new stoop, if it were not for using the same slate and bluestone and railing. It was all done in one day, too. Very professional.

Fred's Chimney Magic refused to honor the "Groupon" promotion they advertised for a fireplace cleaning and inspection, claiming I had a "nest" in my flue. This "nest", as it turned out, consisted of a small shopping bag full of leaves and small branches (see photo below). Removing such small amounts of debris is part of any standard seasonal chimney cleaning. Not only did they try to charge me five times more that what I agreed to pay for the service prior to scheduling a service visit, they tried to upsell me on additional chimney work which had nothing to do with the basic cleaning and safety inspection I paid for (big red flag). Moreover, the two chimney sweeps they sent couldn't have looked more unhappy to be there. No. sooner did they arrive for the appointment, that they bolted into my house as if someone were chasing them--obviously looking to do a quick rush job, with literally zero effort made to explain any aspect of the process to the homeowner. They immediately seemed exasperated and jabbered to each other nervously, as if I were not even there. I felt uncomfortable with the situation from start to finish, as I could tell from the outset, based on their behavior alone, that they had no intention of cleaning our chimney that day without extorting a considerably higher fee from us. When we refused to fork over the extra money for their "nest removal service", they abruptly begged off the job and then quickly departed, visibly annoyed. The chimney sweep who did most of the talking spoke to us in tone which was blatantly condescending and rude. To make things worse, the service was scheduled just four days before Christmas, which means that we were nearly deprived of the use of our fireplace over the holidays as a result of this highly regrettable incident. Fortunately, we were able to get another Chimney sweep out to our residence that same day on extreme short notice, who promptly ascended onto our roof and brushed out our chimney for one hundred dollars less than what this company tried to charge us for the same service. See the dated photo below showing the safely working fireplace exactly one day later. There was such a pronounced lack of professionalism evident in the way the visit was conducted by this company, that I could never in good conscience recommend their services to others, nor hire them for any further work on my chimney. When I do decide to have maintenance work done on my chimney (repointing, caulking, and a new chimney cap) in the near future, I definitely won't be dealing with this company. In my sincere opinion, they just can't be trusted.
Dear James/[Consumer Name Removed], We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and I want to address your concerns to ensure a fair representation of the events that transpired during our recent service visit to your home. Firstly, I want to clarify the nature of the service you purchased through the Groupon promotion, which was for a basic cleaning?a standard industry term referring to the removal of creosote and soot from a chimney flue, free of any debris. The photograph you kindly provided revealed the presence of a nest, composed of branches and leaves, in your chimney. This meant that the service required additional steps, namely the removal of the nest before a proper cleaning could be performed. Our technicians, far from demanding anything from you, sought to provide a comprehensive solution. They explained that a nest removal and cleaning would be $239, but in recognition of the Groupon promotion, they offered a discounted rate of $189 by deducting the $59. Unfortunately, the communication seemed to break down at this point, as you responded in a manner that our technicians found vulgar and disrespectful. Contrary to the impression that our technicians were in a rush to leave, they took the time to ascend to your roof and explain that the oversized chimney cap was the entry point for the creature that built the nest. This information was meant to help you avoid a recurrence in the future. They also diligently inspected your chimney, ensuring a thorough understanding of the situation. It's important to note that the cost you mentioned for another chimney company to perform the nest removal and cleaning, at $159, falls within a competitive price range, reinforcing that our offered rate of $189 was reasonable for the additional work required. While we understand that emotions can run high during such situations, we pride ourselves on great customer service and felt compelled to reach out to you despite the challenges faced during the appointment. Your desire for a discounted new chimney cap, however, presents a challenge as we strive to maintain fair and competitive pricing for all our customers. We acknowledge that misunderstandings can occur, and we remain open to further discussion to address any lingering concerns you may have. We value your feedback and strive to rectify any misconceptions about Fred's Chimney Magic. Thank you for your understanding. Sincerely, Fred's Chimney Magic
They offered a very thorough estimate and even gave time for us to get other estimates from competitors. Wonderful turn around time on job completion without a long wait. Showed up on time, all workers were professional and complete clean-up and haul away of debris and garbage. Even followed up to confirm satisfaction after job completion.

I looked for a contractor to fix my chimney for 12 months. I interviewed five contractors but I didn’t trust any of them. Finally I contacted Chimney Magic, they came, gave me a fair estimate and I hired them. They arrived on time, fixed my chimney, and cleaned up, I would recommend Chimney Magic.

They look around for bigger jobs to do and I paid more then I should have. For a ten minute service. They were pleasant enough but it is all about bigger jobs.

I agree with the consensus of other high rated reviews on here. The team was courteous, professional, and offered in-depth explanations of the work. This is great for me because I like to understand the technical side of things and how the job gets done. Worth a call to see if they can earn your business!

They did a great job, we got multiple estimates, and they came in significantly lower than the other estimates and they did a great job. They came exactly when they said they would, they called exactly when they said they would, the ladies in the front office were very nice, the workers were very nice and courteous, they did a great job. They were very thorough and gave information about how the job works and the reasons for the work that they did. Super nice, super neat, professional, very affordable, were not pushy sales people, very happy. Highly recommend.
