“The actual employees were great, but Winston's pricing was bonkers high compared to similar companies in the area. It felt like the employees I was talking to wished they could give better prices but the company itself was forcing them to be more than twice what my other estimates were.”

“honestly, I would not have used Winston if I had known how much they would try to inflate the project. I had some mold on my chimney and loose mortor on the cap (maybe some minor re-pointing). I was told I needed to pay for an inspection first. Waited 2 weeks for that and they sales person tried to talk my wife into a whole chimney re-lining. Received a $9000 estimate?? Went to another service who came out with drones and scopes and inspected for free. Did the cleaning , chem sealing, cap repair for 1/5th of the price (and so inspection fee). I really should have gone to that firm first.”

“I had a terrible experience with the representative who came to give me an estimate. By the time he left, I knew he was there to make quota. I have nothing good at all to say about him or the company.”

“The office staff and the people that actually come and do the work have a disconnect. The workers that were here, seemed to be in a hurry and were very sloppy in their work. They were also careless in being careful about the house, roof...etc. We were just going through a large scale remodel and we had new roofing materials. More care and consideration would have been helpful.”

“The service was okay, bit it was difficult to get an appointment and although pa follow up was offered no contact was made as described. Your office is too busy to return calls or follow up effectively.. also certain services are limited like dryer pipe cleaning which is offered but apparently not available in the spring.”
