Chimney Sweep Services

Technician/owner was prompt and scheduling was relatively simple, though contact through the website didn't work. The technician was friendly, but I didn't like that I was verbally quoted $2,200 and then was immediately followed by, $1,800 if I paid in cash. I felt like that was a little manipulative to make me think I was getting a deal for paying cash. I originally reached out to get a quote online, but you don’t really get a cost until they show up. I just needed to get the sweep done at this point, but I feel like I probably over-paid. My services included sweep of two chimneys, sealing of chimney crown, and installation of a simple chimney cap, which all took approximately 2 hours to install. The cost totaled to $1,000 cash, with the material cost being the cap ($70 online) and some of the chimney sealer. This means I paid over $400/hr for labor, yikes! I like supporting small businesses, but I wish I had put in the effort to get a quote from other options. I'm opting to install the other cap (damper style) myself since the quote provided was $700-800 cash. I should have been more thorough in my research. I think some of the reviews here may be fake on Google, several users have provided 5 star reviews at the same few businesses.
