    On November 9, 2023, Better Business Bureau was alerted to a business operating as The Chimney Pros https://thechimneypros.net/.  

    A business registration search with the Washington State Department of Revenue and the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries provided no business registration or contractor licensing for The Chimney Pros.  BBB believes The Chimney Pros operates as a lead generator for various chimney sweep businesses across the United States.

    On November 27, 2023, BBB reached out to the owner of Capital Local Services and Safe Chimney, Inc to give them the opportunity to explain their connection to The Chimney Pros. The business denied they owned The Chimney Pros but stated they formerly had a relationship with the company.  Employees who work for The Chimney Pros told BBB the owners are the same. 

    BBB has reached out to The Chimney Pros to provide ownership information but has not received a response. Based on the information detailed above, BBB cannot state with confidence who owns The Chimney Pros.

      On January 10th, 2023 we had a technician come out to our home to clean our chimney. We were informed the work could not be completed without a chimney crown replacement/repair, unclear of exact of what work was needed. When the work was completed 45 minutes later, the technician had cleaned **** off, sealed a few cracks, put some water barrier down, and painted the crown with water resistant paint. The final cost for chimney clean out and a paint repair was $1824.97. I paid $925.97 up front. He left and then had to come back and finish the job for the initial hire because it was not completed. They never sent us photos of the work completed as we requested. We called the company to speak to a manager to ask them to explain why it cost $1400 for tape and paint. We never received a called back. We called them everyday for 1 week, then once per week for a few weeks. On 2/14/23 we received a call for the balance remainder, I informed the lady "***" that I would not be paying the remainder until we spoke to the manager whom never reached out. We received no call. On 2/16/23 at 10:00 AM the original technician "****" came to our home unannounced, telling my husband he would rip down the chimney and threatened my husband approaching him aggressively for not paying. My husband informed him he needed to leave the property immediately. "****" left. We called the company immediately, they said they would call the technician and call us back. *** called us back informing us she had spoke to **** and told him to "go home and not go to any of his other jobs for the day." **** continued to circle our home 3 more times. We finally received a call at 11:50 AM from the manager "***" who stated "I do not care what my employee did, you owe us a debt." "If you do not pay, we will come back on our own time and take down the chimney." We have been threatened with defacement of property by this company. The headquarter location quotes us $500-$800 for a crown repair.

      Very dodgy company. I should have known not to hire them when I couldn't find a ****** page with reviews for them. They initially came out for a basic clean in Jan 2024. Note that my fireplace had been working great for years and nothing was wrong with it. The underside was super dusty and hadn't been serviced in years so as part of the new year, I decided to get it serviced. They charged $102 for the basic cleaning and really all they did was clean out the cobwebs from the underside. The glass front cover was not cleaned at all. Additionally, they suggested I get a remote for $700. I promptly declined the quote for the remote. After this cleaning, the fireplace would turn off by itself after 2-3 hours. After a month, it started turning off within 15 minutes of turning it on. I called them back and they offered to come out and diagnose the issue for free. ****** comes and checks out the fireplace and says the valve is faulty and will cost $1400 to fix and once again suggested I get the remote for the additional $700. This is a rental and I experience this a lot where prices are inflated because these service techs think just because it is a rental that I am rolling around in money. Which is not the case at all. So I immediately went on ****** and found two independent local fireplace repair people and both of them confirmed that $1400 for a valve repair and $700 for a remote was insane. Stay away from this company. I hate to accuse but I am certain something was done to the fireplace during the cleaning that caused the issues later on.
