Great service. They installed my chimney cap a couple of years ago. With the recent storms and very strong winds, the cap was loosen. American Chimney came out to tighten the cap at no charge.

American Chimney did a terrific job of cleaning our chimney and installing new fireplace equipment. They were professional and on time, even early when possible. Our technicians, David and Angel, along with Alex in the office, were friendly, helpful and knowledgable. We won't hesitate to call them again and are very happy with their work. Highly recommended!

Excellent service! Guys spent all day (7 hours) cleaning a very large 3000 sq ft home HVAC duct system and dryer vent. Home was built in 1988 and the cleaning maintenance on the ducts and dryer vents was never done in 23 years. Home used to house 6 people with 3 dogs and 3 cats, so you can imagine the dust, dander, pollen, lint, etc. that was built… up on the inside of the duct system. So grateful for the fresh air, finally we can breathe! After our whole family living in this house together on lockdown for over a year because of COVID pandemic and our entire family suffering from asthma
