Impressive service

Fast responsive. The service guy just came to our house for inspecting and cleaning the chimney within a hour after A1 contacted me. The guy is very polite, gentle and patient. He does not only give me advice how to deal with our issue in the future, but also, incredibly, cleaned up the dust and dirt that were left behind for weeks under the couch near the fireplace. Strongly recommend their 5 stars services.

Remove and replace stainless-steel chimney.

Our steel chimney (30+ years old) was damaged and deteriorating. We called a few contractors in the GTA. Owen from A-1 Quality provided a competitive quote and noted the reason why our chimney had issues (roofer reinstalled a brace incorrectly). In the quote, Owen provided a WSIB clearance certificate, proof of insurance and his WETT credentials. Owen also walked us through any issues that could arise (ie risk of damage to steel piping that would not be visible until the chimney on the exterior was removed). Shortly after we agreed to the quote, Owen booked an install date. On the date, he arrived as planned and removed/replaced the old chimney the same day. Aside from the professionalism and excellent work, the attention to detail was beyond any expectation (e.g. placing a blanket on the driveway, under the work area, to collect any debris, dirt etc, wiping down the entire stainless-steel chimney to remove any handprints and smudges, demonstrating the best way to build a fire etc...). Friendly, professional and above and beyond our expectations. Highly recommend A1 Quality Chimney Cleaning and Repair!!

Fast Chimney Repair

My chimney was damaged. A1 Quality Chimney called within a few minutes of my posting the job on home stars. I had an inspection and a reasonable quote within a couple of hours. Work started within 2 days and was completed within three days. Job was performed quickly and efficiently. Workers were professional and the owners were nice, reasonable people, easy to work with and very competent. I can't say enough good things about this company. You get quality work, performed on time and for a reasonable price. This is the company you want to pick to do your job.

Fireplace with insert Chimney Inspection And Cleaning

After calling service was booked within a week, the technician who arrived was well prepared, was able to answer my questions re safety and other features of the fireplace insert that was in the house (fist time dealing with a wood burning insert). I was very happy with the service and will be booking them again for the yearly cleaning next season.

Chimney clean and inspection

Communication from the business was prompt and courteous. Once we decided to move forward the clean was scheduled for the next business day. Jacob arrived and showed us what was wrong (we had smoke billowing into our home); and all the creosote build up from the previous owner.
He was in and out in about 45mins, and left the site very clean. I am very happy with the work and will definitely use them again and recommend them to others.

Cleaning and consultation

We used the company for chimney cleaning a while back. When we used the fireplace, it got smokey, so I called them to double check if everything was fine with the chimney. They sent Owen to assess the situation and he was AMAZIING! Very knowledgeable, patient and kind. Every staff we spoke to on the phone was also very approachable and available. HIghly recommended!!!

smoke from chimney coming into house

Owen and Kelly were both super informative and pleasant in answering all questions. Clear instructions were given to prevent smoke inside wood burning chimney. I absolutely love a wood burning fireplace and it was explained to me that I'd not be able to build a booming fire because the flue is only 8" x 8". I enlarged the hearth, they changed the very worn damper. This company is efficent and punctual.
