Fantastic chimney repair experience

I had a fantastic experience today with Owen repairing our chimney (both for a wood-burning fireplace and a gas water heater). Our exterior flue liner had fallen down inside the chimney, Owen quickly assessed the needed repairs and showed me photos to explain what he would be doing. He was very professional, kept me informed, answered all of the questions I had and cleaned the work area fully before leaving. The cost was exactly as quoted over the phone, even with what I think was a bit of extra effort to extract the fallen liner from inside the chimney. Couldn't be more pleased with today's repair, I'll be sure to use and refer others to A-1 Quality Chimney for any future chimney needs.

removal of squirrel nests in chimney, new screens and cap on chimney, filling of gaps and cracks in the mortar

Zach did a superb job. He carried out the tasks in a professional way, coping with some surprises along the way (2 nests, not one) , cleaning up the debris in the fireplace carefully. Not many chimney companies will do squirrel removal as well as masonry and screening work. I am grateful this company was up the task.

Chimney cleaning and WETT technician report (for insurance)

Honestly one of the best customer experiences I've had in recent memory! Kelley was highly efficient an professional whenever we communicated (both via email and by phone). I had a slew of questions and some unique requirements given that we had just moved into the house. He was accommodating, patient and made sure we had everything we needed. The technicians that visited our home were friendly and very tidy and they got the job done! If you need your chimney serviced, make this your first call.

Service

My property manager arranged to have A1 Quality Chimney clean my antique wood stove. They arrived on time, as scheduled to perform the maintenance. Unfortunately, there was damage to the pipe and they were unable to clean it on site. Owen went above and beyond to source the replacement part (quickly) to fix the issue. He easily arranged another visit with me to replace the part and clean. Communication was great which allowed me to plan my day. He called 2 hours before confirming his ETA and arrived right on time. Couldn't be happier with the service, advice and expertise of Owen. I normally don't write reviews but with such a great experience I would highly recommend this company!

Extremely impressed with the service from Owen and his associate Zach. They quickly assessed the work needed, confirmed the price AND got the work completed. In and out within less than an hour, all quality work. Definitely recommend this team to address your chimney needs!

Exceptionally honest

As new home owner, I had called for two chimney sweeps. Coincidentally, A1 Quality Chimney Sweep had already cleaned our two chimneys for the previous owner weeks before we moved in. I had no idea, but they had my new home's record on file and let me know that there was no need for a cleaning. They also very patiently listened to an issue I once had with one of the fires (where some smoke blew down) and they told me what I had to do next time. They could have easily charged me for services I thought I needed, but instead were honest and patient on the phone and told me that no services were required at this time. Will definitely use them in the future! I'm very impressed.
