I have nothing but good things to say about the business and employees. We have used Thomas' Chimneys and Stoves for the last 5 plus years and will continue to do so in the future. Further, Mr. Thomas and his employees are very skilled at home repair and have both helped us with a number of projects and provided valuable advice regarding renovations and repairs. In short, they are professional, do outstanding work, and are exceptionally fair when it comes to the final bill. Mr. Thomas is the first I call when I have questions or need repairs to our stove, chimney or other parts of our house.

My first instinct here was to give 1 star, But, I'm giving 2 because Josh was absolutely wonderful to work with. The owner, however, made this experience quite unbearable. He basically refused to communicate with me, the homeowner, because I am a woman. He actually said to me that he preferred to speak with my boyfriend, man to man.... All communication from the owner bypassed me and went directly to my boyfriend via text message. Josh, on the other hand, communicated directly with me for everything. The work that was done looks very nice, but I do feel that they were substantially over priced

This is a wonderful family business. We've been their client for 15 years now and have zero complaints. Their staff is polite and talented. They never leave behind a mess. It can take a day or so for them to return a message, which is fine to me. I definitely recommend them

Cannot say enough about Josh, the chimney sweep, who has been cleaning my chimney for years and recently installed a new damper. It's rare to find someone who cares about their work and the people they do work for. Josh is that rare person. To know my chimney is in the capable caring hands of Josh is to know I can happily make fires safely and often this winter.
