Had an excellent experience with Abram at Chimney Star. This was the first time to have our chimney cleaned but also needed some repairs. Abram was detailed in how he described both the inspections they would complete but also the steps for the repairs I’d asked for prior to them coming out for the first visit. They did all the initial work quickly and cleanly in the first visit and after custom ordering a part, came back and finished the job the next week. He was courteous, clean and communicated each step and kept me informed. HIGHLY recommend working with Chimney Star and will for all my future cleanings or repairs.

The home inspector warned me about various problems with the chimney before I sold my house. My first thought was that it would cost a fortune to fix. However, my concerns were allayed when I met Moses. Inexpensive and less disruptive than I had anticipated, they fixed my chimney in no time. The sale went through without a hitch, and I was free to move on to my next place, Thank you!

Decades of neglect meant that my aging chimney required major repairs. I engaged Chimney Star to remedy the issues, and their skill and craftsmanship blew me away. They completely rebuilt the chimney with high-quality materials and even put a new cover to avoid future harm. Now, my chimney looks and operates as new!

The old fireplace in my home was falling apart and did not go with the style of the rest of the house. After getting in touch with the Chimney Star , I was provided with a number of different design possibilities to choose from. The installation of the contemporary fireplace I ordered was impeccable. My fireplace is a beautiful addition to my living area now and most importantly is safe and easy to use!

Abraham at Chimney Star was great!! I was initially only looking for cleaning as my fireplace was recently inspected when I bought the place, but their inspection was much more comprehensive. He took the time to explain what he found, showed pictures, and gave me different options to repair and concerning to a fully gas fireplace. The fireplace hadn’t been used in years, and he cleaned everything out in one go. He even protected my furniture and cleaned up a. Now we’re all ready for cozy fires this winter!

I had Air Duct Star come for an inspection of the ducts after a mold remediation. They inspected the whole house more thoroughly than any other company did. Found a hole in the plenum box and fixed it as part of the inspection. Also did not try to sell me any additional services as cleaning wasn't necessary. Very professional. I am extremely happy. Will have them come again whenever I have an issue.

These guys are absolutely great! I had a very bad experience with a more "well known" company in Austin.I did my research and there are many scams out there in this space, but once I called Air Duct Star and talked to Abraham on the phoneI was convinced their scope of work was what I needed. They were extremely thorough with the air duct cleaning and very respectful. The technicians Noam and David clearly knew what they were doing and kept us informed at all times.
