I feel compelled to share my experience with Coastal Chimney & Contracting regarding a $3,500 gas insert fireplace installation project. Their technician/project bidder, Adam, was polite and initially responsive. He was actually the primary reason I chose them over lower-bid competitor (Keithans Gas and Chimney Services) The scheduling process has been extremely disappointing.

Timeline of events:

Initial contact: December 9, 2024
Current date: February 22, 2025
5 canceled/rescheduled appointments
Multiple no-show instances without prior notification

The most frustrating aspects have been:

Repeated requests to confirm appointments that were subsequently canceled
No proactive communication about cancellations
Being redirected between various "divisions" despite being a small company
Having to take multiple days off work for appointments that never occurred

While I understand weather conditions and unexpected situations can affect scheduling - I want them to be safe and understand some project need to bye dry. But the lack of basic communication and professional courtesy is unacceptable for a company. I've missed days of work to sit at my house waiting for them to show up. As a potential customer, you should be prepared for:

Extensive delays - there's always someone else they have to schedule first
Poor communication - Adam gave me his business card but his voicemail box is full and doesn't return calls or text
The need to constantly follow up even though they send confirmations and then just say they were mistakenly sent.

The quality of their work may be excellent, but I cannot speak to that as I'm still waiting for the project to begin after more than two months of scheduling attempts. Here's a copy of the appointments and quote - hopefully this saves someone a headache like we are going through.

Fantastic work, very professional. Adam showed up for the installation right when he said he would with a friendly crew. The had all of the equipment, tooling, and hardware to overcome the challenges our existing chimney presented. I truly believe that had we gone with the "lowest bid" we would have had delays in the installation. I would highly recommend Coastal Chimney and am pleased to endorse them.

I was referred by a Real Estate agent in my office. As someone who is intentional about working with small and local businesses, I was very impressed. They were prompt, very friendly and did not try to do anything that was not necessary when performing an inspection. They are a family-owned local business who will continue to be my go-to for all my fireplace needs. As a local real estate agent and property manager it is invaluable to have contractors and companies that are honest, professional and prompt.

Horrible company they could not get it right with fixing my leak. Once they have your money good luck having them comeback. ****It took you a year to respond ridiculous and a shame. Probably no longer in your system because your company took my money and moved on. I was a client and need to warn everyone and anyone to be cautious when dealing with your company. When I posted the review a year ago you knew exactly who I was now you have amnesia

Very pleased with Coastal Chimney and Contracting. They were friendly and helpful over the phone, and they were able to schedule an appointment for servicing our old gas fireplace within just a few days. The technician arrived on time and was friendly, very knowledgeable and was able to clean and inspect our gas fireplace efficiently -- and without any issues. We now have a working fireplace and peace of mind that it is operating safely. Highly recommend this company!

Extremely professional and responsive! They helped with education and provided information about our fireplace that we were unaware of at the time. They made us feel safe by ensuring there were no gas leaks and they thoroughly explained the steps to utilize our equipment properly. Will be using them year after year for inspections and other work!

So long as we’re contracted here in Hampton Roads, we will only use this team. Simply put, they will go above and beyond to provide great customer service and great results with our fireplaces. Do not venture to find other companies, the clear choice is Coastal. You will have no regrets. God bless them.

Excellent experience with Coastal, from the time I called the office and set my appointment until the tech Jason finished my cleaning and repair. Everyone I spoke with was kind and professional. Jason called ahead and showed up on time, was polite, answered all my questions and concerns, completed the cleaning/ repairs efficiently, and left my house as clean as it was when he arrived. Not to mention that he wore a mask the entire time. Thank you for your professionalism! We will be calling Coastal for all of our fireplace needs! You earned a customer for life!

These guys are great! Professional, on time and highly skilled. The issue was not fully solved initially, but they came right back, corrected everything, and didn't charge anything extra - said they would keep coming back if the issue wasn't fixed. It was. I recommend them big time.

Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
