Charlie Dunn & Sons

I reached out to Charles as we were in the middle of a whole home renovation on our home that was built in '84 and came with 3 gas-log fireplaces. With several of the walls opened up and the previous fireplace inserts and exhaust tubing exposed, I felt it was a good time to have the fireplaces and chimney exteriors inspected and deep cleaned. Charles was timely, pricing felt reasonable for the work performed, and he provided quite a bit of educational feedback on fireplaces and fire safety, including some feedback for our GC on proper configurations for the fireplace hearth and framework. Two of our 3 fireplaces were very heavily used by the previous owner and per Charles' feedback, a couple decades overdue for cleaning. While it is hard to tell at face value what was actually cleaned, Charles provides a thorough report for each fireplace and inspection pictures that showed some before & after examples. All of the chimney's are clean now and safe to use. Thanks again, Charles.

We use our wood stove as a main source of heat and when our 3-year old LOPI wasn't burning as clean as it usually does, and the fact that two different service techs were out a few months ago for a chimney sweep and cap installation, we were surprised that it still wasn't burning cleanly. Better to be safe, we decided to have a local certified fire technician (Charlie Dunn & Sons) inspect it. Turns out that one of the 'fly by night' chimney sweep guys reinstalled the deflector incorrectly! Others that read this, I beg you not to resort to these 'fly by night' people that come in with low quotes, and then tell you more work is needed once they get there. Charlie, I want to thank you for your thorough inspection and educating me on the finer uses of our LOPI. I feel much safer with a 'local' and trusted certified fireplace inspector that is also ethical!

Purchased a home and wanted a comprehensive survey of the chimney. Not just a cleaning but real safety inspection. Charles and his son came through repairing all of the issues and giving us peace of mind that we were safe to use the fireplace. I found their service to be thorough, fairly priced and the guys easy to work with. Definitely the best in the area.

Charlie came to our house today to clean our chimney. He did an excellent job. He answered all of my questions and provided advice on how best to get proper airflow and heat. His pricing is very reasonable. His is very personable and knowledgeable about all things to do with fireplaces. I would definitely recommend him.

Excellent communication. Very friendly and professional. He cleaned the dryer vents and you can't believe what he got out. I feel safer. Thank you Charlie, we are happy with your service.
