Get matched with top chimney or fireplace pros in Fort Washington, MD

"The technician, David, arrived on time, and the company gave me the heads-up beforehand that I had requested. He went right to work, looking at the clog in my dryer (it had stopped several days earlier and the fault code told me there was a blockage), and then setting up his ladder to do the cleaning from the vent outside. He explained the process so I knew what he would be doing, and didn't seem to mind that I watched him closely. First thing we saw was a sparrow fly out of the vent, so as he noted, we could expect a bird nest. He then proceeded to pull out about a foot of nest material (thankfully only one egg and no babies). After he got out all of the big stuff, he ran a brush all the way to the dryer. Running the dryer then pushed out all of the lint. He bagged up as much as he could and took it away, but a lot of it disintegrated on touch. He assured me it would disappear in the next rain, and I'm sure it will. I then asked him about installing a bird guard, and he told me how much it would be ($85) and showed it to me. I liked the design since it does not appear it will collect lint, like one I had in a previous house, and it was metal so it should last. I had him install it. He then wrote up the invoice and I happily paid ($125 for cleaning, $85 for vent). No hidden or extra charges, no attempts to upsell. He told me that they usually recommend cleaning every two years, but given our small household size, three should probably be fine. I will be in touch with SixPenny in spring 2022."

"Stefan was the first to come out and he was efficient and friendly. He didn't sugarcoat or appear "sale"-sy. We discussed various options and he provided quotes. He's a keeper for that organization. Those that came out to replace the chimney (approx 3 day repair) were respectful of my privacy and property."

"The Finest Chimney techs were fast and efficient and even took their debris in a bag with them(they could have put in my garbage can)."

"Vitaliy came to my house to inspect the chimney and was extremely professional, knowledgeable and patient in explaining what needed to be done to the chimney. I was very pleased with the experience and will recommend this company without hesitation. Any follow up work was done in a timely manner and very professionally. Keep the good work!"

Two reps from A&T Chimney Sweeps came on time and quickly went to work, making sure to wear booties and laying a mat on the floor to keep the area clean. 

At first, one of the workers said he thought the chimney was extremely dirty, but it turned out that was just accumulated dust from when he removed the "stopper."  The chimney itself was actually clean.  I was glad to have this verified.  I had never used the chimney, though I didn't know if the former tenants had when the house was rented out, which was why I took advantage of the Angie's Special Deal. 

The two reps were efficient, spending perhaps a total of 20 minutes doing the job. 

My only complaint was that. since I never used the chimney, I asked if A&T would be able to remove it, thereby giving me more space in the basement where it was located.  The senior representative took a few pictures of the chimney, inside and out, and sent it to his boss who promised a reply about what removal might cost. I never got an answer. (But to be completely fair, I never followed up either.)

This is the second time an Angie's List Deal has proved to be an especially good bargain,  When I used a Deal to get my gutters cleaned, the company also found the gutters to be debris-free.  You feel better when you don't have to pay top dollar for the service that proved not to be really needed.

"My experience overall went very well. They did a great job. The staff was punctual and efficient, as well as professional and friendly. I would highly recommend this company."
