Nearby Chimney Inspection in San Francisco

Took a over a month to get an appointment because Nick was so busy, and it was winter. Was given very reasonable quote to inspect condition and possible usability of chimney in a new house. Nick came on time, gave a full assessment of my chimney which was essentially separating from the house. He even crawled into the crawl space to see if the base was sagging. At the end of it all his advice was gas insert if I really wanted fire, but forget about the expense of trying to restore the chimney. At the end of it when I tried to pay him, he said, "I don't charge for bad news." I persisted but he hurried off. Very thorough, kind and honest man. Highly recommendedshow more

We found them on Angies List. Appointment was scheduled for 9am and service man came at 8:45am - he was early. He walked me thru the types of things they look for during inspections - it was informative. The entire inspection took about 20-30 minutes. Our walls were opened up and the chimneys were in good shape. They originally quoted us $120 for a two unit building, but only charged us $60. I was very happy with their serviceshow more

The team was efficient, and left the fireplace clean (or, as clean as you'd expect for a fireplace). They discovered a crack in the chimney, which meant it could not be used. They explained the options to deal with it - very practically, and with no 'hard sell'. We were having some remodeling work done on the house in the summer, so we had our contractors deal with the chimney. They agreed with Mister Chimney's diagnosis and recommendationsshow more

The owner was the individual who made the visit. He was punctual, personable, and professional. He completed the inspection and the sweep in a timely fashion and provided consulation regarding what the options were for converting the existing wood stove.

I had set up an appointment with American Chimney Service to clean out the chimney of the house we recently bought. This appointment was rescheduled by ACS; however, they called to let me know well in advance and even offered to reschedule it for an earlier date. We ended up getting the service done on the same day as before but at 12 PM instead of 9 AM. Steve showed up on time and was very pleasant to talk to. He got to work right away. He began by educating us on how to use the fireplace. He looked around to see potential problems of backdraft owing to furnace intake and vents closest to the fire place and explained to us what to expect in our setup. He used drop cloths to make sure that the soot did not settle on the hardwood floor. Having moved in recently, we do not have much furniture and chose to move one section of the sofa away to create some free space. The overall time spent in cleaning and inspection was close to 2 hours. Once the chimney cleaning was over, Steve cleaned everything up nicely leaving no trace of soot behind. He also inspected the chimney visually both from the bottom and top and clicked pictures that he will attach to his final inspection report. Overall it was a very pleasant experience; definitely worth the price we paid. We will surely hire American Chimney Service for out next cleaning/inspectionshow more
