"WONDERFUL! Jimmy and his fellow technician did a fantastic job of cleaning the dryer vent. I was appalled at how much lint was removed! They were fast, efficient, and cleaned up the area just like new. I was so impressed I asked for an estimate to replace panels in my fireplace while Jimmy was here. I'll be using Finest Chimney Sweep again in the near future! Well done!"

"Chimney Doctor gets a "A" for the actual chimney work and a "F" for clean-up (which averages out to a "C"). The mortar between the bricks of our chimney was beginning to deteriorate. We hired Chimney Doctor to tuckpoint most of the chimney and perform other minor work re: the cap. The work itself was done in a reasonable amount of time and looks great. That said, the chimney is located right next to our new composite deck that we had built a few months ago. I emphasized several times in writing to the company that the deck was the largest investment we had made in the house and we were very sensitive about protecting it. They acknowledged this sentiment multiple times, also in writing. Despite these requests, the furniture and the deck surfaces were a complete mess after they finished their work. The workers allowed the dust to settle on the deck and, due to the high humidity, this dust adhered itself to every surface. The company acknowledged this issue and did send an employee days later to clean the deck. Unfortunately, this was ineffective. It took me hours over several days (I had to wait for the deck to dry each time to see spots I missed) of power washing and scrubbing to get the deck clean again and to clean each item of furniture. When I informed them of this situation, they did apologize but provided no other refund or resolution. I recognize this process creates dust and that's just part of the work, but I think they could've done much more to either proactively protect the deck, to suggest that WE should've put some tarps down on our own, or to pay for a professional 3rd party company to come in and clean up. All told, if your chimney is nowhere near a nice patio/deck/etc., then by all means hire Chimney Doctor. If it is near an area you're sensitive about, then I'd look elsewhere or at least be prepared for a large clean-up effort on your part."

"Called Dave to inspect and repair chimney of 40-year-old house after home inspection stated that both chimney and furnace flu needed re-lining and chimney to be rebuilt from roof-line on up to the tune of thousands of dollars.  Dave inspected the chimney and found that the chimney flu did not need re-lining and the chimney could be repaired & weatherproofed, rather than rebuilt - this saved us money and maintained the rustic charm of the existing chimney.  He was very thorough in his inspection and taught us everything we would need to know about chimney maintenance, safety and structure.  His partner, Ken, did a masterful job of repairing our chimney - he replaced the individual bricks with aged ones, then sealed/waterproofed the brickwork - our chimney is safe and maintains its' charming appearance.   He also re-lined the furnace flu and placed the chimney cap.  Dave returned to replace our worn-out fireplace damper and cleaned our chimney.  Although the price for each service was a little on the higher side of other estimates, his creativity and knowledge of alternative fixes saved us money in the long run, and the quality of the work was well worth the price charged."

"Needed a water heater replaced and code says that a chimney liner is necessary. I called around and Capitol Chimney had a competitive quote. We had used them once before for chimney cap, and the work there was good. They came out as scheduled and finished the work in a few hours. Everything looks good and they left extra pipe for the plumbing company to attach the water heater. Recommended"

"Stood behind his warranty for the chimney cap. Came over and did no cost replacement when my gutter cleaner noticed some work needed. Very honest. I had forgotten about the warranty."

"From the start of the process, making an appointment, to the final installation of the roof, the project was GREAT! Even before the initial meeting, I was sent a very informative email along with an comprehensive slide show describing the entire process of roof replacement. I had a lot of information going into the initial meeting. The quote came in quickly with many options, the scheduling was simple, and the installation crew was great: professional and thorough. And when they left, other than a beautiful roof, you never knew they were even on our property. Great job from start to finish!"

"Jay and his crew did an outstanding job replacing my 20-year-old roof. I went with Home Wise Pros after getting 5 total quotes as the owner, Jay, was authentic and focused on delivering value. He explained everything clearly, recommended what was needed without bells and whistles, and was punctual in answering follow-up questions. Once I put down a deposit, he maintained communications throughout the process and was there on the 1.5 days of the roof replacement work. He would call and text throughout and his crew was thorough in the work done and cleanup after to pick up the nails and debris. I even needed a new b-vent rain cap and his crew picked that up and attached that to the pipe. Couldn't have asked for a better experience in working with Home Wise Pros. The roof looks great and I would highly recommend them for your next roofing project."

"Punctual, efficient and professional. Thorough explanation after the service."

"What was discovered was that the chimney had been damaged by the earthquake that had hit our area a few years ago, and due to the age of the home, this resulted in the large crack down the center of the chimney.   Second, the cap of the chimney had much damage which they showed to us with a number of photographs that were taken at the assessment and shown to us on the spot.   The entire cap needed to be fixed and reinforced.  Last, when they did an scope up the center of the chimney was that the lining needed to be replaced, which is the most important piece to protect the home from carbon monoxide poising.   We agreed with there assessment and proceeded with scheduling the work.  The repairs took 2 days to complete and we were very pleased with the work that they had completed and how they cared for our home and how they cleaned up after themselves.   They replaced the cap and reinforced the mortar.  They removed a number of bricks and replaced, re-pointed and fixed the crack and then relined the chimney.  The job itself was more than we wanted to spend, but due to the extend of the damage to the chimney, we thought the price was fair.  We had received 2 other estimates that were higher than what Priddy Clean quoted us. <br /> <br />"
