Jose Sagastume arrived promptly with his helper. He greeted me with pleasantries and confirmed what they would be doing with regard to the inspection and cleaning. He protected the property with a drop cloth and vacuum. He showed me the interior of the ductwork at the furnace and oil-fired hot water heater before and after as well as the SS flue liner, via photos, after cleaning. Receipt and a subset of the photos taken were sent to my email.

Once again Mike and team came out for a question I had about my new gas log set. As always they were courteous, helpful and very versed in the workings of the log set and gas. I would highly recommend the company as everyone I've met with has been outstanding. Cindy

Mike and Steve were extremely professional and provided excellent service. They are very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Very punctual as well. We can't say enough good things about both of them. We are beyond happy with their service and attention to detail. Do not hesitate to use Magic Mountain. The office staff was awesome as well. Explained everything and got us scheduled quickly.

Service is best. Mike arrived on time and did an excellent job removing the old FP insert and retrofit the service to easily fit the new insert. The only issue was that some of the ceramic logs were broke when the box was opened. Mike assured me new ones will be ordered. I have no doubts that will happen. Great job Mike.

We were very impressed and extremely pleased with the service that we received from Magic Mountain this morning. This was our first experience with them.... and it definitely won't be our last! Jose and Felix were on time, polite, very efficient and professional. They took great care in cleanliness as well with shoe booties and drop cloths and even cleaned the wheels on their hand truck! Wow! Jose took numerous pictures inside the wood stove insert, of all of the parts disassembled and cleaned and the liner up the chimney. They even used a drone to inspect the chimney top, duct and parging. All these pictures were given to us immediately for our inspection and approval! We can't say enough nice things about Magic Mountain's service today as well as Jose and Felix's professionalism and courtesness. We will definitely refer you to our friends and neighbors. Thank you Defeo family for your referral of Magic Mountain Thank you Magic Mountain for your service... we'll see you next year!

Hamilton, VA Homeowner

"Our chimney needed a rebuild of the top, a new crown, work on the shoulders, and several other locations to be tuckpointed (i.e. for the mortar between the bricks to be ground out and new one inserted). Matt and his partner who came to give us the estimate were pleasant to work with and were professional. The crew who did the work itself was good too, however, they missed several spots that needed to be tuckpointed and didn’t insert enough mortar on one shoulder so it looks unfinished. We understand that it happens, it’s fine. However, we called the company to see if it can be fixed. Matt and his partner came out to take a look and said that the missed spots aren’t structural issues, just cosmetic, but that he’d check with his boss if someone could be sent out to fix it. His boss apparently declined. We’ve had other work done around our house and if someone missed something they always have come back out to fix it, so it is disappointing that that wasn’t the case with High’s chimney. Yes, they did the work. Yes, the did an OK job, but no it wasn’t perfect/to our 100% satisfaction and were surprised that the boss didn’t care enough to have the issues fixed to satisfy their customers."

"They came and they were supposed to send me a proposal and I never got it. I called them twice and I still never got it. I had nothing to go on as far as what the cost would be."

Carole W.

Greenbelt, MD

"I had a medium experience. They fixed some bricks on the chimney and put in a liner. It was neutral experience because they did good work, but the initial quote they gave, they should have realized they needed to do more work from the beginning instead of giving me two separate quotes. I would grade the overall experience with a B."

Rockville, MD Homeowner

"They mainly did just an inspection and to tell me that I needed a new reflecting; but mainly, it was an inspection. I liked that they came when they said they would come; they did their job. I didn't have to worry about it. I didn't interact with them much, which was a positive thing. Nothing particularly noteworthy. There were no issues, which is a good thing for me. I don't have to worry. I just told them what I needed, and I got what I needed. I would grade the overall experience with an A."

Alexandria, VA Homeowner

"It was good. It's been a while—a year and half ago. I liked that their pricing was reasonable, and they came and got the work done. So, I can't complain. I would grade the overall experience with a B+."

Haymarket, VA Homeowner

"I liked that they were efficient and able to get the work within the time frame assigned to it. They came to clean out the chimney. They told me I had a cracked liner, and I ended up having to have the entire chimney liner replaced. I would grade the overall experience with a B+."

Rockville, MD Homeowner

"It was a while back. It ended up being a little more expensive than I expected, but they did the work that I wanted them to do. They cleaned the chimney on the inside, and then they did some repairs to the chimney up on the roof—the flashing. They fixed the flashing around the chimney. I would grade the overall experience with a B."

Alexandria, VA Homeowner

"I liked that High's Chimney Service did it in one day, so it was efficient. They repaired the chimney. My experience was good, with one or two problems. In the future, they can improve on better communication."

Silver Spring, MD Homeowner

"There's nothing that I liked or disliked about them, they just seemed honest and straightforward. I would grade the overall experience with an A-."

McLean, VA Homeowner

"High's Chimney Service was great. I liked the fact that they did not cost much more the second year when I said, 'Hey, I remember when you guys were offering this for a certain amount of money. And I know that it's been a year since you've offered that.' And they still had a pretty good deal. And they also were incredibly clean. They took the whole chimney apart, but my living room was totally clean, so that was great. I would grade the overall experience with an A. Quality of work—the house hasn't burned down yet, and I've been running fires in the fireplace which I couldn't do before they relined it and did everything. Customer service—they were really prompt. They were good on the phone, and came when they said they would. And I got an appointment pretty soon, which was what I wanted. This was a while ago. It's been like a year or something. They are very nice guys."

Kensington, MD Homeowner

"I seem to recall they did something for me a year and a half ago. I can't remember anything that I liked or disliked about them. I would grade the overall experience with a B."

"High's Chimney Service did a good job. Nothing in particular that I liked about them, I think they did a really good job. Technically, they are very excellent. They are not cheap, but they did a good job, and I'm happy with their work. I would grade the overall experience with an A."

Derwood, MD Homeowner

"We've used them a couple of times, and they're fabulous. They've done chimney cleaning at one home a couple of times. At the other home, they took out the old chimney flues and put new chimney flues in. I liked the great service, decent prices—competitive pricing—and their availability. When we needed the work done, they were able to come in, get it done and get out. I would grade the overall experience with an A+. We've already recommended High's Chimney Service to friends."

Bethesda, MD Homeowner

"I was very happy with them. Excellent work with no problems."

Gaithersburg, MD Homeowner

"It was fine. It was just a cleaning. They came highly recommended from our builder and two of our friends. They were fine. I didn't have a lot of communication with them, so they just came in and did the job and left. I don't have any complaints, but it was fine. They were fine. I didn't have a lot of communication with them. They literally came in, cleaned the chimney. They said that they found some cracks in it. We wanted to get that fixed, but the price that they gave us was outrageous. So we were little disappointed in that. But, we might use them again down the road, I don't know. They came highly recommended from people, so I don't want to say anything negative about them. I know people who have used them and loved them. So, they were fine. I would recommend them. They were fine. High's Chimney Service did a fine job."

Bethesda, MD Homeowner

"Always. That was some time ago. I've used them for probably 16 years. They're reliable, and they do a good job. I would grade the overall experience with an A+."

Silver Spring, MD Homeowner

"It was a little while ago. As I recall, they did a pretty routine sweep of the chimney. They might have done some construction in putting in a wood-burning stove. I can't recall if it was them—or it might have been a different company—but I think it was them. In any case, that was done well. I liked that it was smooth. There were no surprises, and it happened pretty efficiently. Nothing noteworthy, again, the communication was smooth and efficient. I would grade the overall experience with an A."

West Bethesda, MD Homeowner

"It was a long time ago—about a year-and-a-half ago. High's Chimney Service installed a stove and a chimney liner. I liked that they were fairly prompt to price the job, and come out and do exactly what I wanted. Nothing noteworthy. I was very concerned. I believe that this chimney gave me problems. I think it smoked and something happened to the liner about six times. And they had to return about six times to fix the problem. I was somewhat concerned when I called up about it. They told me to open the damper and let the thing burn out, and they would get back to me in about a week. So, it wasn't a good experience. I would grade the overall experience with a C. The quality of work was good, but the experience wasn't very good. I was very concerned. It seems to me that my house would have burned down, had I not been there when the flames came through the chimney. I would be very hesitant to recommend them because of their lackadaisical attitude and the lack of concern for my property."

Brookeville, MD Homeowner

"That was almost a year ago. They insulated the inside of the chimney. It was positive because they explained what they would do; they did what they explained; the price was good, and they also gave me tips on—this is my first chimney or active fireplace—and they gave me all the tips. The warranty was really good, as well. I would grade the overall experience with an A."
