Dean from Zimmerman, MN Was informative, professional and wasted no time.

Highly recommend this company. They are a very knowledgeable, honest, pleasant to work with, and an efficient company. I would definitely use them again.

The guys were both great. I really enjoyed them and their hard work.

Great quality product, outstanding customer service, timely completion, cost effective project.

Super - start to finish! Steve from Andover, MN Information provided during the estimate - excellent! Time from estimate to work - two weeks Arrived on time and followed schedule - absolutely! Explained process, material, warranties - yep with patience! Finished product looks great and acid washed chimney (other providers never mentioned) Clean-up - Inside and out was excellent Final Inspection - no problem everything was A++++ Don't let the inspection fee scare you off. This is applied to the work and it was definitely worth it!

These two guys called ahead to alert me they were 20 mins out, showed up on time, and were super clean - took off their shoes and laid down protective coverings on my hardwood floors. They did a thorough inspection outside and in and allowed me to watch their live camera inspection so there would be no surprises later, i.e. photo-shopped pics of my debilitated chimney. These guys couldn't have been more professional, friendly or knowledgeable - they gave me options for the future and capped off my chimney with a steel cap so that no rain or chimney swifts or other small animals come inside while I'm waiting to begin the work. I need a new steel liner and I knew this needed to be completed so there were no surprises. My housing inspector (not a great one) had recommended Jack Pixley for the job. Turns out Jack Pixley has been dead for over 4 years and his one-time great company is doing shoddy work. His son now runs 2nd Generation chimney. No Pixley's own or work for Jack Pixley. So if someone recommends Jack Pixley, go with a real Pixley and call 2nd Generation Chimney. These two did not sugar-coat what I was looking at spending should I rebuild the chimney. They gave me alternatives for inserts that are way cheaper than repairing the original structure, gave me the pros and cons of both jobs, and did NOT try to sell me ANYTHING. As a new homeowner, whom everyone and their uncle is attempting to sell something to, I appreciate this approach. They are also CSIA certified and that bears weight with me - I value my home enough to go the extra mile in ensuring it is protected by having specialists perform the work. I will definitely go with them when the time comes. I trust them and that is often worth $$$ to me.

Your technician, Troy Isaacson was wonderful. He is one of the hardest workers I have seen. His work was quick yet thorough, and he was willing to take time to answer our questions. He patiently explained what he was doing and in a way that was easy to understand.

Excellent, well done job! Highly recommend this company. They are a very knowledgeable, honest, pleasant to work with, and an efficient company. I would definitely use them again.

We were referred to this company by our neighbor who have been using them for years. Nothing but good things to say, from start to finish very neat and professional.

Fixed our chimney top. Great work, great guys and a fair price.

People on the phone are really rude to u specially after they get paid and had to have another company come back and get the job done the right way stay away from them lady on the phone is supper rude

2nd Generation Chimneys did an excellent job inspecting and cleaning our fireplace, as well as replacing our dryer vent. Tyler & Troy arrived on time, left everything cleaner than when they arrived, and provided me with helpful maintenance tips. I would HIGHLY recommend 2nd Generation Chimneys to anyone who needs chimney inspection/cleaning services or dryer vent cleaning/replacement services! - Jennie K.

Dave called ahead to let me know he was on the way, and arrived on time. He removed his shoes when coming into the house. A squirrel had entered our home though a hole it had made in the patching compound where the flue enters the chimney. Dave was prepared for a potential animal removal situation, and took every precaution to make sure we were not going to have an animal getting into our house. He check several places where the squirrel could have been hiding, but it appeared the critter had check out before he showed up. Dave cleaned some debris out out of the furnace flue, and even unclogged our condensation drip tube (don't know what to call it). I had to leave in the middle of the job, and he explained what he was going to do when I was gone. When I arrived back at the house he had completed the job within the time frame he had projected. He installed a stainless steel cap on our chimney, and patched the hole the squirrel had made. When I checked out the work in our basement I was impressed, and he even cleaned up the area where the squirrel had made a mess. The price was more than fair considering the professional work that was done. Dave was very thorough, friendly, and did an excellent job all around. Wow! These are the people you want to work on your chimney. We heard some noises a week later, and I called Dave back to see if he needed to come back out. He explained it was likely the squirrel trying to get back in, and the sound was echoing down the furnace flue. It appears that was the case. He offered to stop by, and check it out to make sure. I explained I was satisfied with that answer, and would just check on it once in a while. So far no other problems.

Great crew! Thanks for quick service.

on time, friendly and seemed to really know alot about chimney stuff! lol i will use again.. :)

GREAT COMPANY! FUN STAFF!!

Wow, This is a spectacular company! We hired them to perform cleanings on our fireplaces at our town home association. Scheduling/cleaning crew were all very professional, so happy we decided to replace our last vendor. Thank You!Barbara

the srevice is good, and the crew very knowledgeable, fast, friendly, and professional. The "owner-manager-contact person (Lisa) is NOT. She has no problem calling customers names ("idiot") and the hanging up on them (of course this is after they been paid). I would not recommend them, I'm sure you can get services done by other companies that are just as good without the attitude.

Thank You!

same day service and very nice guys. will use again.
