Report
I am very pleased with the service provided by The Chimney Sweepers in Paris. They operate on a good old fashion principals, hard work and honesty. They sourced out a rare colour wood stove for me in less than 24 hours and in the next 48 hours the stove was installed. They came back twice to follow up on a chimney problem and did not charge extra...even though I am about an hour away. I would give them great reference, however please call instead of text or email..they always answer and return calls.

Report
We were thrilled with the work completed by Paris Stoveworks, they came in and did as much work as they could and checked in regularly with us to come back and complete the remainder of the work that could only happen once the flooring was installed and grouted. Their price was fair and they explained our options very clearly. I have recommended them several times since.

Report
Unfortunately not a positive experience with this company. I was called 30 minutes prior to their arrival telling me they had to cancel my appointment. My subsequent appointment was also cancelled as well as the third. When I have called them, no one answers the phone and if you leave a message, no one calls back. The one time I was able to connect with an "employee" and left my name and number, I still wasn't called back. I've been waiting to enjoy my fireplace this season and have yet been able too. Totally frustrating.
