Report
Excellent service at a reasonable price for the inspection and cleaning performed. The technician was delayed for almost an hour at a previous job, so I recommend scheduling it within a window rather than a specific time. I engaged Ashbusters as a Realtor on behalf of a Buyer client and was present for the visit in the Sellers home. My client was impressed by the service. He intends to use them for future chimney/firebox repairs and periodic inspections and cleanings going forward.
