"installation of a gas insert fireplace"

"Manuel put 2 chimney caps and gave me excellent advice."

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.

"Company was responsive to request for a quote. Work was scheduled for the following week. Workers showed up on time and completed the job quickly."

"The service was fine. The only thing is that they were really late coming. So, it was like dark when they got out of here. They left the area good when they were finished. It took them an hour-and-a-half to complete the job. They sent me a picture of the chimney. The price was great. They did show up."

"Very professional and friendly.  I would rely on this company.
They gave me a window of 3 hours to arrive at the property, however I was the 1st appointment of the day so not sure why you can't confirm a time?  They also did not call me on their way to the job as discussed
I thought the price was reasonable for the service, however I can't confirm quality.  All I know is the job took a lot less than other chimney cleaning services I have had in the past.

"I am completely satisfied with the service and the turnaround was incredible (1 day), no waiting to get my fireplace up and running. Now I can burn some wood and they gave me a quick lesson on how to burn wood, thanks I needed that lesson."

"I called Chelsea’s Chimney in a panic on Saturday as my metal chimney cap came crashing down during a terrible storm. Greg Wiskirchen responded immediately, and quickly came out to fix the cap so that no rain would get in. He was on time, easy to communicate with, and completed the job with care. I’m a new home owner, and he was able to walk me through what happened and also took care of things so quickly. While he was out I had him look at a few other things, and he provided me honest feedback, followed by a super reasonable quote for some projects I would like done. I would highly recommend Greg and Chelsea’s Chimney and I will definitely be using their services again."

"These guys are A+++.  I called on Friday to schedule an appointment for a quote.  I was told that the first available appointment was about a week out.  However, the scheduler promised to contact me if they had a cancellation.  A few hours later, I got a call and was scheduled for Monday morning.  
The owner called me about 30 minutes before they arrived at my home to give an updated ETA.  The two men who arrived were both professional and promptly put on shoe covers before entering my home.  As it turned out, the expensive installation procedure was not really necessary.  The owner took time to explain exactly what was required and even drew a diagram I could use for future reference.  He gave me excellent advice and even helped with the physical labor as a favor.  They could have tried to sell me unneeded services, but instead, they have a customer for the future.
I will absolutely contact this company for future work on my chimneys/fireplaces.  They are honest, professional and polite.
