Bunch of Con Artists

by Not John Judd at Citysearch

First off... I would like to point everyone's attention to the positive review named "Chimney Repair". Please look at who posted this, Maximum Chimney themselves. Obviously someone made a mistake when they logged in.

The owner of Maximum Chimney Services, John Judd, has had several chimney sweep companies that have all been forced to close due to bankruptcy due to his shoddy work ethic.

He trains his employees to think its acceptable to lie, cheat, and steal from his customers. He's a full blown crackhead that doesn't know anything about chimneys.

If your thinking about spending any money with this company, DO YOUR RESEARCH!!! Look up Chimney Solutions, American Chimney Sweeps, American Chimney Services, and All American Chimney at the BBB web site, and other sites posted on the internet.

He's made it on two... TWO channel 5 investigative reports for sleazy, unethical work. All of his sleazy little companies have been kicked out of the Chimney Guild, and he's had to resort to getting some on-line certification.

The owner John Judd is a sleazy con artist, who has no clue how to do business or even be something that resembles a human being

• Cons: Con Artists

Terrible service

by ZippityBee at Citysearch

I called a week in advance to make an appointment for an inspection to occur between noon and 4 pm. I never received a call to confirm the appointment. I called them to confirm at about 2 pm. They told me that the technician was close and that he would give me a call in ten minutes. They never called me back and the technician never showed up. I just cancelled and went with another company.

• Pros: No pros that I could experience
• Cons: Terrible service

Chimney Repair

by Maximum Chimney Services at Citysearch

I used Service Magic to find a reliable company to repair my chimney. I was greatly satisfied with Maximum Chimney Services. I had already received a list of things probably needed from my chimney sweep. He no longer did chimney repairs. After the inspection the two workers, Paul and Mike, told me the things that needed to be repaired, those things not needed, and the cost of the repairs.

The list quoted by Maximum was right on target with a comfortable price I could afford. There was an immediate trust I felt with this company. Many companies try to sham a woman but not Maximum. I am most pleased with the results of their completed work thanks to Paul and Mike.

• Pros: Excellent chimney repair services

Bad service

by brunjm at Citysearch

Their technicians are unreliable. My first appointment was supposed to be at 9 am and they showed up at 11 am. My second appointment was supposed to be at 9 am and they called to push it back to the afternoon and NEVER showed up that afternoon. The third appointment was promised at 8 am. I am still waiting at 10:30 am for them. I am sick of waiting around for their services.
