My wife and I moved into our house in Fort Worth about a year ago. When we bought the house we knew the chimney needed work before we could safely use it. I had several people come out to look at it and give me quotes and it was not helpful at all, it ranged from a small issue to one chimney sweep saying I needed a whole new chimney…
I found a chimney sweep company online that had good ratings and I had them come out to take a look at the chimney. They said I needed a metal liner to make it safe and I hired them to install that along with some smaller issues. After they finished the work I got suspicious because I couldn’t get them to come back out to do the final check like they said they would. So I gave up on them coming back out.
My wife is pregnant and I wanted to really make sure that the chimney was safe so I had another company come out and take one last look. Turns out the previous company didn’t do anything to the chimney and just took my money. I am now having trouble getting in contact with them to get my money back. Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do at this point? Any advice is helpful!
TLDR: got scammed by a chimney company. Thinking about threatening a lawsuit.
