Booked an inspection with BHO Chimney Sweep, and they rescheduled three times, arrived late, and offered a quote of $4,000 for a repair I resolved myself. Their technician barely looked at the issue and showed no professionalism. I would strongly advise choosing a different provider.

No call , late showing up and NO Free estimate .
Was told the guy doing the check would call half an hour before he comes... NO Phone call... Appointment was for 11:00 am .. Showed up after noon... The FREE inspection cost me $69.00 . Will use them or refer them to anyone.

Chimney inspection
Called and set up inspection for 11/20 between 3 and 5 pm. Missed phone call around 3 o'clock then received text telling me tech was running on delay and could be here by 4 and to reply "ok" which i did. They called back about 5 minutes til 5 telling me the tech would not make it out that evening. We reschedule for the next day between 10 am and 12 pm. The technician called around 12 asking me what I needed done exactly. I told him I needed an inspection. He then began to tell me he was running behind and could be here in about an hour or so. This was the second time they did not show up on time. He tried to blame it on the missed call from the day before. I then told him to nevermind and that I would find someone else to do my inspection. From my experience I would not recommend this company for a chimney inspection.

Tried charged us $4k!
Before they even showed up, they ended up rescheduling our appointment three times. When they did end up finally showing up, they looked at our fireplace for less than 10 minutes, deemed it as 'unfixable' and quoted us $4,000 to replace it! We ended up being able to fix it and get it working that same night after they left. I would highly recommend a different company for any fireplace repairs!

TERRIBLE Comapny. Buyer beware
I wish we could review with negative stars. This company is the worst. I set up an appointment, one month earlier, received email conformation, called the company to confirm, even received an email confirmation. Had to call on the day of service because I heard nothing, ONLY THEN to find out they won't service my area. I spoke to them 2 times, have an email conformation, and then, without a word, just opted not to come and I had to call, hours after their scheduled appointment, to find out that NOW, instead of a month earlier, decided to NOT come out. IF YOU CAN FIND ANYONE ELSE,EVEN YOURSELF, TO DO THIS, DO SO. This company acts like they are a monopoly and serves who they want, when they want. And will lie to you about their commitment. Find another company or be sorely disappointed. There is a reason they have 1.5 star reviews and it's not because they care or try. It's because they truly do not care aboit your time, money, or that they think they hold us hostage. Sad stuff that a company like this exists.

Untrained or Unable to Do What they Say
The technician came out and had no idea what to do to fix our fireplace. He said he inspected it and everything was ok and that if we let the gas run for about an hour the fireplace would work. That did not happen. They were engaged to get the fireplace working and could not accomplish this. Don't use this firm.

The technician Eli
The technician Eli, left a MESS of soot all over the area downstairs. After emailing and calling trying to receive a partial refund We were told by Eli that he wasn't issuing a refund and that he wasn't dealing with my bullshit. And hung up. We've been cleaning the house ever since the chimney service. My 90 year old father and grandchildren whom are 8 and 2 are constantly exposed to this soot and mess even after our attempts of cleaning. We've hired a new service to come and re clean the chimney and will probably have to hire a cleaning service to help get rid of the rest of the soot we cannot do ourselves. Items have been ruined and thrown away and repurchased due to this. The amount of mess left is a safety hazard to my family. Severly disappointed for a thousand dollar service!

Total Scam/Upsell - Charged $69 for a 5-Minute Inspection
We called for a chimney cleaning, but instead, we got a high-pressure sales pitch. The person arrived in an unmarked uniform, was totally unprofessional (didn't remove muddy shoes), and spent 5 minutes looking at our fireplace before announcing we needed a $1000 deep cleaning and a $1000+ custom topper (based on a quick look from the ground in the pouring rain). We were immediately charged $69 for the "inspection." The entire experience was shady, from the lack of company identification to the conflicting business names on the receipt/website. This is not a professional service; it's an expensive upselling operation.
