Report
I hired TN Fireplace and Chimney in May 2020 to inspect for chimney leak which resulted in replacing chase cover and flashing. At the time their work seemed satisfactory, and the leak was resolved. The leak reappeared on a smaller scare late 2021, so I placed a phone call to Jacob Cate to discuss. The call was never returned, so I placed a second call with no response. I then tried left a message on the website and no response. A visual inspection of my flashing indicates that some of the flashing may have come loose and needs attention. It appears I now need to contact another firm to inspect

Writing on behalf of my lady! She called to get inspection for Gas Logs in her condo. Two guys show up, but told her, they know more about Wood Burners than Gas! They checked the Chimney, reported to their boss, the chimney was closed off! WRONG! OPEN with NO FLUE. Wind constantly comes in the house. They left and told her, no charge for their visit. Well, Today, she gets a call from the company they are charging her $150 for service call. FOR WHAT? They did NOTHING except drive to her home! They had no clue what they were looking into. After this SNAFU, she called another company and after inspection

I was very pleased with the service provided by TN Fireplace and Chimney. After scheduling my appointment by phone, I received an email confirmation. I also received an email confirmation the day before, along with a phone call. Then the service technician called 30 minutes ahead to let me know he was en route. Upon arrival, he explained the process and how long it would take. Allan and Daniel were very professional, prompt, and thorough. They took great care to be clean and to explain everything. I received the inspection report within minutes of their departure. I would definitely recommend them

Wow what a professional company! I thought I was professional and give great service but they TOTALLY outclass me in that department. They were honest about how many weeks out my appointment would have to be, they set the appointment and were upfront as to what the cost could be, they emailed and texted several days before the appointment as a reminder, they called the day before to verbally confirm the appointment, and then they texted when the service person was en route to my house! They wore a mask when I requested it and kept socially distant, and did not touch things other than what they
