What Happens When You Call

Step 1: You call (804) 392-9342. A live coordinator answers and takes down the basics: your address in Chester or a nearby community, the type of fireplace or stove you have, and when you last had the flue cleaned. The call takes about five minutes.

Step 2: We schedule your assessment. We’ll find a window that works for you. Wendell Pike leads the local team, and you’ll know who’s coming before they arrive. If the schedule slips even a little, you get a call before the window closes, not after.

Step 3: You get a written estimate. We inspect the chimney the way it should be inspected: camera down the flue, eyes on the cap and crown, a look at the firebox. You see the footage yourself and get a plain-English verdict. The price we quote is the price on the page, and it’s valid in writing.

Step 4: We do the work and you keep the report. If you approve the job, we schedule it promptly. When we’re done, you get photos and a summary of what was done and what we saw. If something can wait, we tell you it can wait.

Frequently Asked Questions - Booking & Estimates

Is the estimate really free? Yes. The inspection and written estimate are free, with no obligation. If you decide the work can wait or you want to think it over, that’s the end of it. We don’t charge for the visit and we won’t follow you with a sales script.

How quickly can you come to Chester? We work throughout Chester and the surrounding area every week, so we can usually get someone to your home within a few days of your call. During the fall rush, the wait can stretch, so calling early in the season is the smart move. Call (804) 392-9342 and we’ll give you the first honest opening we have.

Do you charge extra for weekends or evenings? No. There’s no weekend surcharge and no evening upcharge. The price we quote is the price you pay, no matter when the appointment lands. If the calendar has a Saturday opening and it works for you, it costs the same as a Tuesday.

What should I have ready when I call? Just know your address and roughly what kind of fireplace or stove you have, wood-burning or gas, and when the chimney was last looked at, even if the answer is “never.” If you don’t know, that’s fine too. We’ll figure it out at the assessment.

What payment methods do you accept? We accept standard payment methods, including major credit cards and checks. Payment is due when the work is complete, and you’ll always know the total before we start. Call (804) 392-9342 if you have questions about a specific method.
