"I called another company that charged $200 for an estimate. They gave me a written estimate with pictures, and told me that smoke was leaking from one flu to the next because of cracked flu tiles. They recommended two stainless steel flu liners, replacing the crown, replacing the four bad bricks, and sealing the outside of the chimney at a cost of $13000. That wasn't going to happen. I sent the pictures to another chimney repair company and they would do the same work for $6000. What an eye opener! How could there be such a disparity? That's when I called Metropolitan Chimney. Adolfo looked at the chimney and saw that the cracked flu tiles were near the top of the chimney and could be replaced without needing to reline the flues. Aldofo was the only person to diagnose the leaking problem. He said, " the two flues were so close together at the top of the chimney. Smoke from one fireplace rose out of the chimney and was sucked down into the adjacent flu, The smoke came into the house through the other fireplace." The problem was solved with the installation of chimney cap dampers on each flu. I have had a fire in both fireplaces, and smoke has not leaked back into the house. Aldofo and his coworker were honest, did the work that week, left the house clean, and saved me a lot of money. It is important to note that the flu liners recommended by the other companies would not have solved the problem of smoke leaking back into the house. Only Adolfo understood the physical phenomenon of negative pressure as it applied to my fireplaces.

"We bought the Angies List special deal and scheduled the appointment. The man arrived on time, cleaned the chimney and left within about an hour. No deficiencies were noted which was good because we weren't sure how long it had been since the last time anyone has cleaned the chimney.

"Overall, it was great experience. They arrived on time. One person worked outside and one inside. A mat was laid in front of the fireplace, on the floor to make sure no soot or other dirt fell or spilled on our carpet. A gadget with a camera was snaked up the flue to take pictures and pictures were taken on the outside of the chimney (with a 35mm camera) to show the condition of the cap.
The findings were explained and recommendations were made.
I only had the cleaning performed and took their recommendations under advisement. I don't recall the exact amount of the service as it was almost a year ago.
The service people were clean, professional, courteous and answered all of the questions I had. And I would definitely use them again!
They were very easy to contact and schedule the appointment. Their in house customer service people were just as friendly as those in the field.

"Two gentlemen arrived, very courteous and professional. I escorted one gentleman to the furnace area to investigate what would be cleaned. I was amazed to see what I saw! Soot (looking more like crumbled dirt and sand) nearly filled the flue; solid evidence there was a serious and potentially unsafe problem in that side of the chimney. The other gentleman shared that he'd go to the top of the chimney to advise me of the condition. He also took pictures on their phones so I could see the condition above. There was no cap on the furnace chimney (I had one on the fireplace chimney). He also looked into the fireplace chimney which I greatly appreciated. One gentleman advised me of the cost of the repairs, I agreed to the cost, and they began working. These gentlemen were outstanding; demonstrating great concern for the safety of my home. I would not hesitate to use them again.

"Called at 9 am to get an estimate, arrived the SAME DAY an hour later. Inspected 3 different flues for cleaning and determined that they were in great shape and did not need to be serviced. Installed 3 caps. The whole process took about 4 hours from the initial call to payment. A couple of things worth noting about this company, aside from the quick turn-around on the work. Johhny Mack, the owner's son, is very polite and honest. He probably could have told me my flues needed cleaning and charged me for moving a brush around. I wouldn't have known. The home is a 100 years old and I would have believed him. He also did not have a new cap for one of the smaller flues, but found a slightly used one in his shop and basically installed it at cost. He also reviewed basic fire safety with me, and advised me on several safety issues in my home, not in an attempt to sell me fire extinguishers, just as good advice."

"It went ok. Scheduling was good. They sent two technicians initially, and they were punctual and professional. Something happened with my gas fire logs when they were repairing my chimney and it didn’t work after they were done. They also used a different color cement so it didn’t match."

"It went very well. They came on time. They did their work well. They told me how often I should get it cleaned and if I'm just using the fireplace twice a year, not to worry, that I didn't have to get it cleaned until every 3 or 4 years."
