Called around for fireplace cleaning prices. Most company's were, for 2 fireplaces, under $300.00. Called Clean Sweep, old lyme ct. and the price is on the voicemail. Sounded like @240.00 to me, but what would I know, I am just a housewife, not a mason.

Upon arrival, the owner/cleaner mentioned to me that one fireplace wasn't that dirty, but cleaned them both anyway. OK. At the end, about an hour, I was presented with the bill- Just under $500.00. Almost had a stroke!! It was $240.00 for each fireplace!! Wow. Never any discussion on price except what you hear when you are leaving a message.

Explained my misunderstanding and was hoping for a little compassion and maybe a discount or something. Nope. Told me I was the only person who ever misunderstood his outgoing voicemail. I can't imagine why anyone would want to pay $260.00 when you can pay $500.00!!

So what do you get for the big bucks, a clean chimney!! Nothing any more special than the other guy down the road. Consumers beware, do your homework and make sure you get the TOTAL price verbally and written BEFORE the job is done.
