They do not actually do free service calls, they quoted me $125 to come check out my chimney.

About Burning Bush Chimney Service
Anything to do with the maintenance or servicing of a chimney system is provided by Burning Bush Chimney Service. We use only the highest quality stainless steel or copper accessories with most products coming with a 10 year to lifetime warranty. Chimney Cleaning: The process of cleaning your chimney involves first an inspection to see if there is sufficent buildup of creosote and soot to warrant a cleaning at this time. Tarps are laid out on the floor and a triple filtered vacuum is used to keep your house clean during the cleaning process. Chimney Repair: Through the years, many masonry chimneys begin to break down. The mortar either begins to soften due to age or moss buildup or will fall of in chunks due to water freezing behind it. Brick faces will also fall off due to water freezing. Crown mortar will start to pit and soften and will develop cracks. All of these problems can repaired. We have repaired hundred's of chimneys over the years. Also see "metal chimneys". Woodstove Installation: Whether you have an existing brick chimney or fireplace or no chimney at all, we have years of experience at installing woodstoves, inserts and gas stoves or inserts. We specialize in the hard to do jobs. Metal Chimneys: Older metal chimneys also can wear out and begin to rust or get pitting in the outer wall. The inner wall can also buckle under chimney fire conditions. We offer a through inspection to determine the structural integrity of these systems and have access to replacement parts and if needed can do a complete replacement of your system with the highest quality chimneys available. Chimney Relining: Almost every masonry chimney that has a woodstove or insert attached to it should have a stainless steel liner installed to ensure the highest degree of safety and efficiency. Most chimney fires occur in unlined chimneys, and even if there is an existing clay or pumice liner, these chimneys tend to have excessive creosote buildups and extensive damage after a chimney fire. All of the stainless steel liners we use are of the highest quality and strength and sized to properly vent your stove with the greatest efficiency. Chimney Caps: A chimney without a cap is like a roof with a big hole in it. A lot of rain goes into a chimney's flue causing dampers to rust out and mortar to erode. Birds, squirrels, raccoons, and bats have been known take advantage of uncapped chimneys to make your home their home. All our stainless steel or copper caps come with a lifetime warranty. Dampers: Fireplace dampers sometimes rust out or get warped or maybe your fireplace never had a damper to begin with. Very few original dampers seal airtight and most leak quite a bit of room air up the chimney raising your heating bill significantly. We offer a complete line of replacement dampers to fit almost any existing fireplace that are easy to use and very energy efficient. Waterproofing: Water penetration is the most damaging natural action that can take place to a chimney. It leads to early mortar and brick erosion and the excessive buildup of moss and mold on the chimney surface which accelerates this erosion. We offer an exterior cleaning service followed by an application of a ten year warranted waterproofing product. Draft Problems: Sometimes, your fireplace or woodstove just won't draft properly. Many factors can cause this, and sometimes, it is a combination of factors. Through a series of questions and experiments along with an examination of your fireplace and house, a cause can usually be found, and a remedy is suggested.
Reviews
Communication took a while, with long pauses and text or email prompts to get information we needed following BB’s two on-site estimates. Finally got an updated estimate and scheduled our chimney repair and gas insert installation with Glenn. Before I even had the chance to send the deposit, he canceled on me “due to unforeseen circumstances.” No response when I asked if he could recommend another mason. Huge waste of time: I would not recommend.
Recently had Burning Bush out to clean and inspect our fireplace insert and brick chimney. Communication was great, scheduling was easy, Kristofer arrived on time and did an efficient but thorough job—highly recommend them to others.
Great job and very easy to communicate with
Very quick, professional service. Easy to chat with, and informative.
Nothing but great things to say about Glenn and Burning Bush Chimney Service. Fantastic insert installation. They even finished putting together a rolling tool chest for me that was sitting in my garage:) I've recommended them to several friends and neighbors, and will continue to do so. Thanks!
All work was accomplished quick and professionally.
Glenn took the time to explain the work and the weather conditions required. I asked him to perform the work and then we waited for the weather to warm up. Finally the time was right, he sent me a note scheduling the work. I responded it was good for us and he didn't show up. No call, no email, no Glenn. I can only Hope he is okay but I can't wait any longer.
I brought in Glenn to install a fireplace insert as part of a major DIY remodel. He provided excellent guidance on what masonry work I needed to do to rehab the existing masonry firebox to and flue chase to accept the insert and provide for outside combustion air ducting, making the insert installation go very smoothly. Great job, Glenn!
