Satisfied from first contact to job completion. 3 guys came out to examine the job and form a bid -- addressing issues others had missed. The install team, led by Jordan was friendly, professional, meticulous about the install and clean-up. Reps were sent out to inspect the job and sign off on the install. Well done.

Barnhill Chimneys was very accommodating with scheduling our assessment. James, our technician, was able to arrive early. He was courteous, knowledgeable, thorough, and provided clear explanations of each finding and recommended remedy. The price estimate came in within what I anticipated, having done some research and having family in the construction trades. A very promising start to our engagement.3/29/2024 Our job is now done. The team was careful of our property with only one foundation planting suffering minor damage. Amazing, given the number of plants! The work was done well and the documentation of the work and testing of the water sealing was much appreciated. Dillon came out to do the final review and was very courteous, knowledgable, and personable. Each member of the team has been very respectful of our property and our time.

Respectful of our property and very approachable. Seemed to be very skilled and worked with a sense of urgency. They rebuilt a valley and areas surrounding our chimney, and re-flashed it.

James from Barnhill Chimney Company just left. He was prompt, personable, professional, and proficient. He performed the services we had requested and showed us picture and video images of some other issues that need to be addressed that we weren't aware of. We have already scheduled the follow-up services to be performed. He gave us detailed and specific records of all his services today and to be completed later. It was a pleasure working with him. Highly recommend!

James J and Sam came to inspect our chimney. These guys are superb, very nice and explained clearly what needed to be done. They pointed out the necessary maintenance needs to be done in the near future as well. Awesome job!!!

I was very impressed with the team that came out to install my new fireplace. They were very professional and courteous! They discovered a HAVC issue behind the old fireplace and brought it to my attention immediately. Most people would have just not said anything and went ahead and installed the new fireplace. I have used other chimney companies and Barnhill is by far the best I have every used.

My husband and I called Barnhill Chimney to come out and sweep the chimney and help us learn how to make a fire. Lol. When Henry arrived exactly on time, by the way, very impressive, he evaluated both fireplaces and helped us understand the construction of both. He formed us of what we had and what was needed in order to safely have fires in our fireplace. We need some work done on the outside as well as work done on the inside, but he was very detailed with pictures and explanations of everything that was needed and necessary to get our fireplace up to code When the work is done we will be able to enjoy the fireplace. Henry was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. I would highly recommend Barnhill Chimney for your chimney needs.

Barnhill was great from start to finish. Went over many different options in regards to the needs of my fireplace, crown, and chimney cap. They got here when they said they would and kept me updated throughout the process. You may find someone cheaper but you won’t find someone better than these guys at what they do. They are the best!Services: Chimney inspections, Chimney repair & restoration, Rain cap installation

Justin came out to inspect our chimney and do a cleaning. Upon further review he informed me that the chimney was not up to code and that there was some exterior damage and water was leaking onto the interior( house is about 50 years old). He explained everything to me and came up with a game plan for two different approaches to get us up to code and working right. Really appreciate his attention to detail and how pleasant he was even though it was cold and rainy out. Will definitely be looking to use him to get our chimney up and running.

They came out and gave me a review of all my chimneys, and especially the one where I am having a leak. It was the most professional job I have ever had in my 7+ decades and I used to own lots of rental properties so I have seen a lot of companies, I could not be more impressed.

I thought Mr J.Jones was knowledgeable about what I wanted done to my chimney. He explained hisself well & answered all my questions. I would definitely recommend Barnhill Chimney for all their chimney needs.Side note, Barnhill Chimneys also has a real nice display room of chimneys at their Winchester Road Office in Lex, Ky. Keep up the good work you guys 👍..

Henry is an excellent technician. We called Barnhill with a problem of smoke entering the house through the stove pipe. Henry came and identified the problem. The chimney was clogged with cresote and the smoke had no place else to go. He showed pictures of the problem and did a chimney sweep. He showed us how to properly build a fire and how to identify wood to be used in the stove. He made suggestions on how to store the wood to be used. He is friendly and personable but yet very professional. HE IS AN EXCELLENT TECHNICIAN .

Lucas was professional, informative, and thorough on his inspection of my chimneys. Once issues were identified a thorough estimate was prepared and I was able to pay in advance for the upcoming work. I'm very please with both Lucas and Barnhill Chimney.Update: Elliot installed ventless logs into both of my fireplaces and I absolutely love them. They are ultra-efficient, look amazing, and add functionality to my old damaged fireplaces. Barnhill also installed a beautiful chimney cap with a lifetime warranty, I couldn’t be more please with the quality of materials or professionalism by everyone at Barnhill.

Justin was super helpful, explained everything we needed to know about our chimney - inside and out! Went through everything we needed and what was the most efficient way of doing things. He was friendly, professional, courteous. Very very happy with the service he gave.

Barnhill chimney has installed my new fireplace, replaced the flashing on my roof, and just today cleaned my chimney. They have excellent communications with their clients and do a great job.

Justin is very knowledgeable in his field of expertise. Unfortunately his findings were not in our favor, but don't shoot the messenger. Thank you Justin for your thorough inspection and clear communication.

Every time I stopped into their Gallery I was helped with every question I had regarding the products that they offer (took several visits to decide what I wanted & what would suit my needs). The initial Cleaning & Inspection was very beneficial in determining what steps I needed to take to safely install a secondary heat source for our recently purchased home. The inspector allowed me to view the flue in real time & also emailed a detailed description of all the photos he took. He made some suggestions of wood burning stove options & emailed a couple of different quotes. This gave me a good starting point to make a decision. He was very courteous also, making sure to protect my hearth, floors, furniture, etc. during the cleaning & inspection.After a few visits to the Gallery, I made an informative decision with all the details & specs offered with each product. Once the stove I chose was received from Vermont Castings, I was contacted to set up an appointment to do the install (very accommodating to my busy schedule). However, they were 1.5hrs later than initially scheduled, but I had planned the day for them to complete the job, so it wasn’t a hassle for me. They did call 30min. before to let me know they were on their way. The gentlemen that performed the installation were professional and also took great care to protect my floors, etc.The only issue I would have is that in the middle of the install, they had to go back to headquarters due to having a faulty pipe connection, adding roughly 2hrs to the install. But the fact that they didn’t install a faulty piece on my large purchase was reassuring that they care about their customers. They also suggested options of where to purchase hearth extensions for cheap since the hearth I have didn’t extend far enough past the front of the stove (safety reasons).Services: Chimney inspections, Chimney flue cleaning, Fireplace installations

In a world of way to many poor, shoddy, and unethical home repair businesses Barnhill Chimney is a shining star in my book. From my first contact with them, through the outstanding repair work, every employee I dealt with was very professional. Their communication and punctuality, throughout the job, was greatly appreciated. Highly recommended. (The preceding review I wrote in July, 2017) UPDATE May, 2018: Barnhill sent James out to address a concern that I had. As last year, I have had only positive experiences dealing with them. Great company! The first few pics are of a terrible builder job, the last couple are after Barnhill completed their professional job.

Justin came out and inspected our chimney and looked at our fireplaces. He was fantastic. Went above and beyond, and answered every single question I had. I cannot recommend them enough!

The gentlemen that came were very professional. They cleaned and reset everything once inspection was complete. They took several pictures to show the issues and did a great job of explaining what was going on and what is needed to correct the issues.

The technician was punctual, professional, and precise. He answered all my curve ball questions to my satisfaction. He gave me multiple options for addressing my chimney issues. The price was higher than expected, but as a returning customer I know the quality of their work and expertise are worth it for the peace of mind and the functionality of my fireplace and chimney.Services: Chimney inspections, Chimney flue cleaning
