Laura Feinberg
Mike and Arthur were very professional, fast and respectful. My dog and toddler would not leave them alone! But they completed the job with ease and were able to inspect the chimney and let us know what we needed yo do to make it safe to use! Thank you!
Nonnie Reynolds
They came out to inspect and clean my chimney. Let me know it didn’t need sweeping however I do need to replace two fire bricks. Glad I got the inspection because it prevented a fire hazard. Very professional service and technicians. I’m hiring them to do the brick repairs. As a new homeowner it’s great to find a reliable company to annually clean my fireplace.

Erica S
Black Goose Chimney did a great job servicing our gas fireplace. It hadn’t been used in a few years, and they performed a thorough safety check, cleaned everything, and clearly explained how to use it going forward. The technicians were very professional, fast, and genuinely nice guys. We felt confident and comfortable using our fireplace again thanks to them. Highly recommend!

Darlene Esher
We set up an initial appt for 12/19 at 2:00pm with a window giving them til 4:00pm to arrive. At 4:00pm I called the office and spoke to Ari who told me they had no record of our phone number or address. Almost immediately after that call I received a voice message indicating Sergei was on his way (about 25 minutes out). I want into my email and found that there was an invoice addressed to me for $339.00 and a quote addressed to me for $8990.00. No one had ever come to our home . This was our first appt with them. Not at all impressed with the disorganization of this company.
Robert Freeman
Mu texhnicians have always been knowledgeable, courteous, and a good value. I wont call anyone else
Dexter Baird
Your technicians were very personable and knowledgeable in what they were doing. He even made an onsite repair that saved me a lot of money.

Today Black Goose came to give me a quote on my gas fireplace. Mr. Bobby asked me what I wanted to do with the fireplace because due to a lot of advice from other companies I was under the impression that I would have to tear my existing fireplace down and get a brick and mortar fireplace to burn wood. Mr. Bobby heard my desire as to what I wanted and he really gave me a simple solution now I can burn wood in my fireplace. Thanks Bobby Sims.
Mary Johnston
I was throughly disappointed with the technician. Firstly they arrived more than two hours prior to the appt time, with no phone call. I paid to have my chimney and wood stove inspected. He never even opened the wood stove and when it was brought to his attention he said it’s a metal box, it’s fine. I was also given a quote of 8k for work on the chimney. When I requested the pics that I was promised that day they had mysteriously disappeared. I spoke with the office numerous times and was told the owner would contact me. After a week of no returned calls I requested a refund which I was given. The office staff was very polite and apologetic, however the technician was rude and the owner apparently couldn’t find the time to address my concerns. I’d rather do business with a company I can trust.
Louis McAdory
Your team very quickly assessed the problem with my fireplace and explained what needed to be done to fix it. They were very professional and knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. The fireplace is now working 100%!!!! I highly recommend Black Goose Chimney for any work needed for a fireplace.
Audrey Crawford
Larry Beam

Jack Erb
Sergey is great!! I always request him to service my wood stove!
Irina Gorbunova
Always great service and punctuality. We use this company twice for two gas fireplaces and Sergey is very professional and knowledgeable. Quality work and good service.
Hope Marsh
Great job done by Bobby and Crew. They took care of all our issues in a very professional manner.
Renee Jones
Sergey and Muhamad were very professional. Took the time to clean up and Sergey took the time to explain an issue they found during the inspection and to re-explain how to start and stop the fireplace.
Mark Smeland
Nicole Anderson
I received a thorough inspection and was provided with options for my fireplace renovation. I was very satisfied with the service.
Theo Rohr

Chuck Robinson

Calvin Davis
Excellent service and professionalism.
Peter McCall
I’m not happy at all with the service because the gentleman that came to my house told me I needed a new gas valve for my fireplace. He said that somebody would contact me the next day which would’ve been the 11th and nothing was done. Nobody contacted me and right now I’m looking for another company that will do the job for me because I don’t want to use black goose.
Karen Lyles
Very professional.
Ryder
They showed up on time. They were fast and efficient and had great communication. Highly recommend this company!!!
Gail Whittaker
Very professional and friendly. Each year, they visit my home and perform a thorough inspection of my fireplace and chimney. After their visit, I feel safe and confident when using my fireplace. Highly recommended.
Walter Bartlett
They were great when they came and fixed our problem and were gone within 15 minutes. I highly recommend Black Goose.
Ronnie Goodwin
Professional and friendly. Started work by putting down drop cloths and cleaned up on the way out. Answered questions about proper fire lighting and burning. This is the third time Black Goose has inspected and cleaned our chimney. We will continue using them in the future
John
Great work
Adam Palmer
Arrived 3 hours late. Level 1 inspection is literally them poking their head in the chimney. There are other levels that I saw later on the website but I don’t think they listened to my specific needs with my 200 year old house. Promised a report that was never provided. Given an informal estimate for $25k worth of work that any competent mason could do in a weekend. Not recommended.
Virginia Conway
Firstly they were prompt and notified me by phone of their intended arrival time. I took great appreciation with their respect of my person and property both inside and out. They carried out their work with professionalism and efficiency in a friendly manner. I would highly recommend Black Goose to anyone needing to winterize their gas fireplace as I did or any fireplace need in general. If you are in need they are your men. Give them a call today. You’ll be glad you did. I am!
Linda Redmond
Work was done well and there wasn't any mess left to clean up.Thank you for Job well done.
Kyle Almeida
Had a great experience with Black Goose Chimney today, they arrived early, worked quickly and were kind to chat with. Will absolutely be working with them again in the near future!
Joe Cardona
Great customer service. Very friendly and easy to do an appointment. Good communication and provided report the same day.
Marcia Adair
Karisa Miller
6 out of 5 starts! As always, professional, courteous and efficient. Been a customer for over 10 + years, will always recommend BGC to everyone!
Samuel Berg
John was friendly, easy to talk to, carefully explained what he was doing.
Lora Pride
We can't say enough good things about Black Goose and Sergey. Sergey is courteous, professional and knowledgeable. He texted me to let me know when they'd be out to do an annual maintenance on our fireplace and arrived on time. They respected our property by laying cloth down in their walking path and work area. They finished quickly and efficiently and cleaned up after themselves before they left. Thank you Sergey; you have customers for life with us!
