"Had him come out to my house to check my new house's chimney and fireplace. He was very professional and helped us out with information on never owning a fireplace. Placed protective gear around the fireplace so nothing would get dirty. He checked everything including the mortar around the fireplace. He showed us how the blower works and what to expect when using certain woods and fire-starters. He was very personable and friendly. Would use their services again.  <br />"

"One screw type pier installed. 2 workers hand dug hole below bottom of foundation. Cleaned out under foundation for platform. Although foundation was deeper than I thought, the hole was done much better and quicker than I envisioned. Pier was screwed at bottom of hole with a hydraulic motor. Once limit on hydraulic pressure was reached, the pier was cut at proper level, platform installed, and cracked section of foundation was raised with a hydraulic jack. Crack in stonework closed up nicely without going too far and creating additional cracks. Workers had 5 and 15 years experience doing this work. Very professional and did a very nice job every step of the way. Note that I (homeowner) chose to move and reinstall landscaping stones and gutter drain. Also, tuckpointing/repairing the cracks was not included in the quote. I plan to do that myself at a later date."

"These folks are professionals - from the nice person who answers the phone to the gentleman who did the repair work at my home. I will definitely use them again should the need arise. <br />"

"Des Moines Area Roofing was professional, trustworthy, and demonstrated excellent attention to detail from initial contact to job completion. Cleanup was so thorough that the next day you wouldn't even know that such a major project had taken place. It has been 2 weeks since the new roofs and we haven't seen even one stray nail left behind (and they did a complete tear down to both buildings, right down to the wood). An excellent company with which to do business. I offer my highest possible recommendation."

"Jeremy replaced the flashing and sealed the area. Very prompt, professional, and extremely easy to work with. Job well done!"

"Excellent in all aspects - arrived early, was very professional, gave lots of good advice on using the fireplace, recommended that I install a screen on the chimney cap to keep animals out."

"The initial contact was good and the price was fair. So they started the work and replaced the flat roof which went well. Then when they started on the chimney they found they would need to remove some of the roof to access everything which would be some additional cost. I agreed to this and they started the work but then there were delays and communication issues for over 2 months. They ended up not completing the job and leaving me high and dry to complete it myself."

"I left messages with three different chimney sweep services in the Des Moines and Ames area. Tom, at Mr. Sweeps is the only one that returned my call. I live about 30 miles away from Ames which was not a problem for him, so we set a date.  We communicated the day before he was scheduled to do the inspection and cleaning to confirm details.  He showed up on time, inspected and cleaned the chimney.  He provided fast and efficient service and left my fireplace cleaner than what he found it with no mess at all.  Tom recommended how often we should inspect and clean the chimney in the future and Tom at Mr. Sweeps is who I will call for all future service."

"I called him about some water damage around my tub and he gave options to have it re tiled with the same style or to upgrade to a more decorative tile. The new tile looks great, no leaks around my tub now, and he also cleaned the grout on the bathroom floor. He stayed in contact me with me about when he was going to be here and progress on the job. 10/10 will use again for my next project!"

"Prompt. Polite. Efficient. service member made repair affordable."
