A very good reliable company. While we started out with concerns, due to several cancelled appointments right before an on-coming storm, we were able to contact the company and they followed through immediately. They heard our concerns and provided excellent quality efficient work. I would recommend them to anyone in need of chimney repair.

Charged well above premium prices. 129 for the inspection, 599 for the cleaning, and 799 for sealing some mortar on the interior of the fireplace. Once the work was done I went to close the damper and discovered the following. The damper is broken which was not identified in the inspection. The inspection sheet is blank and the technician never checked the outside of the chimney or the cap. The chimney is absolutely not clean, I can clearly see thick layers of carbon buildup up the chimney and all throughout the fire box. The chimney is also still full of cob webs. The seal is basically globbed

First of all, they were late to the appointment. They originally came to clean my fireplace, somehow the first place
They went to was my chimney ( furnace) took pictures. Simple fireplace cleaning turned into changing the lining in my furnace chimney….2100$ later. Technicians are very well trained to get money out of you. They know where the big buck is. When they were done, I asked for them to clean the chimney, unfortunately….they forgot their brushes!!!!! 2 months later I get a letter stating I need to get an inspection done and another 84$ charge for permit!!!😡😡😡I was never made

My oil vendor suggested a chimney inspection. I know the liner had been replaced 10 years ago so I though this would be a routine thing. It turns out the replacement had been done with the wrong materials. A-1 was able to provide me with a reasonable price to correct this. Their technicians were here on time, quickly and efficiently completed the job. I thoroughly recommend their services.

Had a simple clean. Guys that came out were professional, explained what they needed to do and were on time.
Scheduling is not easy. They cancelled my first appointment. Didn't provide a reason. Was able to reschedule. I was told they don't do their routing/scheduling in advance, so it is difficult to make sure someone is home.
However, I am satisfied with the work done.

I called this company a week ago for a chimney cleaning. They told me it was $129. On the day the service was scheduled the guy was 2 hours late and they never called to let me know. When he got here he sat in his car on his phone and gave my husband a wait a minute finger. Then after the process was complete he said it was going to be $425!!! Then he said they make him work Sundays and asked for a tip!! I will never use this business again!!

What was to be a simple flue cleaning, turned out to be so much more.
A previously installed liner was done completely wrong. It was shown to me with pictures, pointing out issues and detailing what was a problem vs. how it should be handled. That was on a Friday evening. Next morning Frank and his crew were back and went to work, each worker knowing what they had to do and going right to it. All the workers were polite, courteous and knowledgeable and the real show stopper; you truly believed they enjoyed their job. We talked, discussed options, joked a bit and 2 1/2 hours later they were gone

The oil company I use recommended A-1 Chimney and I called to get an estimate. Instead of having to wait weeks for an appointment as three other companies had, A-1 was out promptly, reviewed what needed to be done as detailed on the home inspection, made their recommendations and provided a detailed and economical way to make the repairs. I needed a stainless steel flue insert for the new oil furnace with a chimney cap, and for the two wood burning fireplaces I needed new dampers for each and the extension of the chimney four courses to be in code. Prior to them showing up for the work, Mike sent

A-1 visits each year to inspect and clean the chimney liner they installed. They work quickly and efficiently - cleaning and checking the liner from top to bottom. The technicians always greet us with a smile. We've had them do other work as well (chimney cap & gap filling) and all of it was well done.

A1 Affordable was recommended to me by my oil/furnace provider. Over the years they've done yearly inspections and cleaning of my chimney and installed a chimney liner. This year, on a routine maintenance call, one of the gentlemen showed me several pictures of the interior of the top and exterior of the chimney. Not a pretty sight (the roof is flat, so I've never seen it). They recently did a rebuild and came back several days later to do a quick chimney sweep to get rid of any debris that may have fallen during the rebuild. Every gentleman from A1 that's worked at my home has been polite and

Oil furnace chimney cleaning
This morning I got a call that they were cancelling my appointment for the FOURTH TIME. Yes 4 times, they cancelled on me for staffing issues. Their window is 9-5, and you have to fight after many cancellations for a narrower window.
I fought for a discount. Let's see if they show up next month. I got them through my oil company, but will find someone else next month. Fifth time a charm? I'll let you know.
Bottom line...Don't bother

I just had my first encounter with this company this morning, and I really don't feel good about it.
I have Region Oil, and they have a deal with this company to service chimneys, etc. so when I scheduled my furnace maintenance, they recommended this company for a cleaning. I scheduled my appointment for a Saturday afternoon, as that's when I would be home and available however, the next day, they called to try and reschedule my appointment for Friday morning, which I was unable to do, because I was at work. Later that same day, they called me again to reschedule - they want to come

Recently had our chimney on a Levittown rancher style house removed and replaced with a new one. Workers were very clean and professional. Went out a few times to check on progress and was please to see workers checking levelness with level after place the bricks. Very pleased with workmanship and appearance of new chimney

I lost count of how many times they rescheduled on me- I think it was 5 or 6. The night before they were finally supposed to come they called and said they couldn't service gas fireplaces even though they had previously said they could. Extremely unprofessional and not an ounce of remorse for cancelling so many times.

Disappointed is an understatement.
In the middle of closing on a house, a chimney inspection company canceled on us and we were forced to find another company fast.
I called this company and explained the situation. A supervisor came on the phone and said given the situation, they would squeeze me in for the following day. I was very happy because this would keep us in the 10 day count to get inspections done. I asked to be sure if he positive if we would get the chimney inspection the following day because if they weren't 100% sure, I was going to continue calling companies. He said that

I had to have a stainless steel liner inserted into my chimney prior to having a new heater installed. I needed it in a hurry, and A-1 Affordable came out the next day - a Saturday - and completed the installation quickly and efficiently. The workers protected my floors, wore masks, and I was able to proceed with the heater installation on-schedule. Great job!

As a first time home buyer it can be a bit nerve wrecking when you hear that the chimney has issues that could cause a fire. However, the repair man, Eddie, was super pleasant and patient with us as he explained the issues, showed pictures, and explained what needed to be done. I am happy to know that I'll be in the A1 system and that they will keep on top of my chimneys on a yearly basis, it does add a cushion of relief.

I hired A1 Affordable to make my fireplace safe for fires. Prior to hiring them I had other companies come in to price the job for me. However I found the scope of work presented by A1 to be extremely thorough; their proposal was detailed and included pictures from their inspection of my chimney. I felt I was dealing with a professional company who would do right by me, thus my reason for selecting their company to perform the job. Their price was also competitive thereby making it a no-brainer choice.

The work they performed was fine. Their collections was appalling. They performed the work on a Wednesday and left a bill onsite. I called the office two days later, that Friday, and paid it. Receipt paid in full received via email. Charge on my credit card clearly showing the company name for the entirety of the invoice.
On the following Monday, two men from the company showed up on my property unannounced and harassed my husband for not paying. Stating that they had called multiple times and we hadn't paid. Neither my husband or I had any record of calls or voicemails. Nothing on the invoice
