What Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Say About Ashby Chimney Fort Lauderdale
Reviews matter in this trade because you’re inviting someone into your home to work on a system that, if done wrong, can put your family at risk. We don’t ask for praise; we earn it by showing up when we say we will, putting the price in writing before anything starts, and showing you the inside of your flue with a camera so you can see exactly what we see. In Fort Lauderdale, where salt air and humidity work on chimneys year-round, that transparency is what turns a first-time caller into a repeat customer.
Recent Reviews
“Our chimney hadn’t been swept in years, and with the salt air near Victoria Park, I was worried about what we’d find. Nathan’s team showed me the camera feed the whole time, explained the creosote buildup in plain English, and the final price matched the quote to the dollar. They left the hearth cleaner than they found it, which my wife noticed before I did.”
Dana D., Victoria Park, Fort Lauderdale
“I called on a Sunday because I smelled something odd coming from the fireplace after our first cold snap. A real person answered on the second ring, walked me through what to check, and had a technician out that week. The sweep itself took about an hour, and they showed me the before-and-after photos of the flue without me having to ask.”
Travis M., Rio Vista, Fort Lauderdale
“We bought a 1950s house in Sailboat Bend and the fireplace hadn’t been used in over a decade. Ashby did the inspection and found the flue liner was in rough shape. They quoted the repair with a written price, used DuraFlex for the replacement, and backed the whole thing with their guarantee in writing. The fireplace drafts better now than any house we’ve owned.”
Erin Q., Sailboat Bend, Fort Lauderdale
“What stood out to me was that they didn’t try to upsell anything. The technician told me my chimney was in good shape, recommended a sweep every year given how close we are to the Intracoastal, and that was it. No scare tactics, no surprise add-ons. The invoice matched the quote exactly.”
Allison R., Harbordale, Fort Lauderdale
“We had birds nesting in the cap, which I learned is pretty common in Fort Lauderdale with all the mature trees around Coral Ridge. They removed the nest, swept the flue, and installed a new cap from Olympia Chimney. Ashby carries ash right in the name, which made me laugh, but they clearly take the job seriously.”
Dana D., Coral Ridge, Fort Lauderdale
“Second time using Ashby. First visit was a sweep, second was a repair to the firebox after some mortar started crumbling. The guarantee from the first job was put in writing, which I appreciated. When I called to schedule the repair, they remembered the house and the chimney’s history. That kind of continuity matters.”
Travis M., Imperial Point, Fort Lauderdale
Why Customers Trust Us
The reviews above share a common thread: nobody got surprised by the price, and nobody had to guess what was happening inside their chimney. That’s the Kingswell Way, and it’s built on five things we don’t budge on. We say the price before anything starts, in writing, every time. We show up in the appointment window we agreed to. We leave the work area cleaner than we found it. We put the guarantee in writing with every repair, not as an add-on you have to ask for. And if a covered repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it applies to every repair we complete in Fort Lauderdale. When you call (754) 354-1451, a live person answers, not a voicemail loop. And when a technician arrives at your door, they’re background-checked, uniformed, and ready to answer questions before they touch a single brick.
