After reading some of these ridiculous negative reviews, I felt compelled to give my 5 star review. In the past, we have used the Chimney Doctor on two separate occasions. Both times they went above and beyond our expectations. They are knowledgeable and professional and affordable. They were always on time and well prepared. I would not hesitate to use them again. On one visit, they replaced our old ugly chimney cap with a nice new one and they did quality work for an affordable price. Another time they came out and installed a replacement refractory panel that had cracked after we burned a really

I called several companies but the Chimney Doctor had the best rates and a real person answered the phone. They had the availability that I needed and the two young men were very professional and it was a great job.

Chimney Doctor is top shelf service provider and I would highly recommend them. We had a traditional brick woodburning fireplace with elevated hearth and gas logs. For a remodel, we wanted to demo the hearth, lower the firebox to near floor level, modify brick surround, install a new efficient gas insert, repair and seal chimney, add metal crown and cap. I went to four contractors with specs and request for proposal. Chimney Doctor and David were responsive, timely, thorough and accurate with a detailed proposal, worked with me on design, met schedule commitments, professional and friendly, good

A few years ago, Chimney Doctor recommended a repair. They showed me pictures of what everything looked like and explained what I needed. I could not take care of it at the time, but in December I had the chimney cleaned and once again they showed me pictures. The situation had deteriorated and I asked for the ~$500 repair to be made. They came to the house today as scheduled, didn't let anyone know they were there even though someone was home, and then emailed me an invoice. I asked if there were any pictures of the repair and was told - " We only take pictures if it is rental property or it is

I had these guys check out my chimney the checkup was $65, the work that they suggested was absolutely ridiculously $6-7k to put a heat shield in and new chimney cap. They were going to charge me $50 to cap my gas line it cost me $1.50, and charge over $1000 for a new chimney cap. Is my chimney perfect no it's not but it's in good condition It needs a little bit of mortar and some updated weather proofing simple stuff no where close to 6k.
I spoke with my neighbors and Chimney Dr Quoted him $10k. Long story short they have priced themselves out of the market. I can't see anyone paying those repair

We have had our last fire of the season and it wouldn't have been possible without the repairs made to our fireplace and chimney. We had a chimney fire last year and was hesitant to use it until I had the chimney Doctor do a complete evaluation and repair. They did an amazing job using the technology of a camera inside the chimney to evaluate the problem and complete the repairs. The company performed the work with a professional crew and within the time frame of our agreement. It was well worth the investment for the confidence that it was repaired correctly for the enjoyment and beauty of our

David and his staff did a great job taking care of fixing my 26 year old chimney. It needed to be re-lined and required quite a bit of work because of some cracks inside and some water leaks. He also replaced the chimney top with a better one to help keep water out. He was comparable in price to others for the amount of work done . His staff that came were friendly and stayed on task to complete the job. They even contacted me to return and fix a spot he felt needed more attention after viewing what they did. I appreciate him caring enough to come back because I wouldn’t even have known it. Thank

After getting bids from three local contractors, I selected Chimney Doctor.
They installed a new chimney cap to make my leaky chimney water tight and installed a great looking hood turning my two flue chimney eyesore into a show piece!
Great price, great quality installation! Thank you Chimney Doctor

This business is an absolute joke. I scheduled a consulatation/review for a simple chimney cap two weeks in advance. The lady in their office confirmed date and time. I took off work to meet Mr. Ellsworth (owner of Chimney Doctor) and he didn’t show up. The secretary called me 15 minutes prior to the scheduled time and said they would have to re-schedule. It would have been nice for a phone call a day or two ahead of time. They then went on to tell me that is would be another two weeks before Mr. Ellsworth could field measure and quote my chimney cap.
