Get matched with top chimney cap installers and replacers in Essex, MA

"This is the first time I used Affordable Chimney Sweep and I was so impressed. During a storm, my chimney cap fell off. The office staff was efficient and so easy to deal with when I called. The work was completed today (around my schedule!) and I could not be happier. The repair technicians were friendly and professional. They actually called their boss to see if they could charge me less than my original quote as the job was not as difficult as expected. What great customer service! Will definitely be calling them again in the future and will recommend to everyone I know. Thank you for a job well done!"

"Excellent! We were quoted a much higher price but once we removed the wall and they had access to the area they were going to be working in, we learned that they could use our original pipe that connected our furnace to the chimney. All they needed to do was install the liner and this saved us several hundred dollars! They left the area as clean as it was when they arrived and were very professional throughout the entire process. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and I highly recommend Boxford Chimney Sweep!"

"Looks and works great again. I did not get a bill of sale listing the work and parts replaced. Every penny counts at tax time :) Excellent repair technician, he even carries kitty treats! Thank you!"

"I have an old roof and I wanted to get a good amount of estimates. I was a little put off that the consultation didn’t actually include someone actually going on the roof to look at it. I mean I am looking at roofing work wouldn’t a ladder be appropriate? Before even sitting down with the sales rep, I was told how old my roof was and that it basically needed to be torn down. Granted, that might have been the case, but my roof is extremely hard to see from the ground up. The area that the leak was coming from is not even visible from my yard or even across the street for that matter. Once I showed him the leak area he noticed that I had old skylights. He made a point to continue to point out how old and outdated they were. I mentioned that I was going to look into getting those replaced in the near future but right now I wanted to focus on the roof. However, once the “quote” was given to me, it included solar skylights (at an outrage price at that). Since then, I was quoted by 3 other people at half the price of what they wanted to replace them for. Again, I knew this was going to be an expensive project. I full expected that. As a positive note, I will say that the sales rep was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The consultation lasted for probably an hour. I felt like I was in a boardroom and someone was giving me a sales pitch on the company – which wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, but my goal was to get the quote. As great as the company may be, it all comes down to the dollar amount for most people. I had to wait 60 minutes to actually be told what the quote was. I almost fell on the floor. It was $25,000 (3x the amount of what other companies were quoting me at for the same work). I’m not saying they wouldn’t have done a great job, but for me and my budget, it was extremely unreasonable. Please understand, it's not the price that has me rating this as a C. The only reason why I am giving this a C rating is because I did feel pressured to call in for financing. The sales rep mentioned numerous times that I could get approved right then and there. I told him that I hadn’t made a decision yet and he told me I could still call and get approved and they would hold it for 30 days. I felt that he was put off by the fact that I wasn’t going to do this and that I wanted to think about it. I also felt pressured as to letting him know when I would make my decision. Again, I had a lot to think about here. I wasn’t even thinking of financing as that was the last thing I wanted to do. In the end, it was at that moment (along with the astronomical pricing) that I decided to not go with this company. If it’s one thing a consumer doesn’t want to feel, it is pressure. I appreciated the options he gave, but when I say that I need to think about it that is where it should have ended, don’t pressure me further. It actually rubbed me the wrong way. As a result of this (not to mention the high pricing), I went with another company who ended up doing the same work for nearly a third of the cost and was just as professional with no added pressures."

"The work was done on time by professional workmen. They also patched up some loose bricks at no additional cost. Also cleared out most of the house gutters! <br />I would highly recommend this company! <br />"

"Technicians Eric and Travis were the best ... got the job done, and went beyond ... Eric even cleaned out my gutters when I had my flashing fixed without a complaint ... just did it for me and it was a God-send ... honestly, they saved me. I have used this company for years without fail ... they're great, and I have recommended them to my family as well"

"I got the info on Gaffney's Chimney service from Angie's list.  Mr.Gaffney  showed up on time. Was very professiional, did a great job at a resonable price. What more can you say. I would absolutely recommend him, and use him again. <br />"

"FRS was great to work with for our roof replacement. They walked us through options, showed the material and answered all questions promptly. The work was done in one day and our property was left spotless. I also appreciated that they followed up to make sure everything was fine, both right after the work and again later in the year."

"I am a realtor and have had a lot of experience with many contractors over the years - I had a handful of chimney people visit my house and these people from the owner on down were HONEST, RELIABLE, CAPABLE - I cannot say enough good words to express how happy I was that I decided to use them - and they were well decently priced for the work done!"

"He did some work in the spring and July. The, he did a big job last summer. He rebuilt the chimney, pointed and foundation because my house was built in the 1800s. He fixed an area that a previous contractor did not fix. He's really good. He's not cheap, but he is good, very, very good."
