James and Ronnie were very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and helpful. James educated me as to the proper use and care of my wood burning and gas fireplaces. They did a wonderful job diagnosing and fixing or educating me on the issues I was having. Ronnie did an excellent job cleaning and painting my fireplaces where needed. It was a pleasure to have them service my fireplaces.
Cant say enough good! Dustin was VERY informative and thorough. Wed been told we had flue damage, and Dustin (thankfully) found NONE, while correcting a couple of minor issues and doing a log refresh. Couldnt have been happier, and saved us thousands of dollars!
We have River City come out every year to inspect and clean our chimney. They are always professional and we are always satisfied with their work.
Great service, on time and completed in a timely manner! I would definitely recommend this company, I got an appointment within a very short time frame, where other companies didnt have anything open for weeks.
Very happy with the service we received. Service was fast, complete and neat:) thank you!
James and Joshua were able to provide service the same day I called. Great service!
The technicians were the model of professionalism. They went over and above to make our fireplace shine like new. We were incredibly impressed! We will be yearly repeat customers for sure - 100% recommend!!
Dustin was incredibly helpful while cleaning and inspecting our fireplace that hadnt been used in years. The customer service was exceptional. We were so pleased that we already scheduled an appointment for next year.
Dustin arrived and was very professional and friendly, was careful to place protective drapes and explained what he was doing. Dustin reviewed all facets of checklist and showed me some features on my remote I was not aware were there! I now have a pilot on, ambience nightlight and feel comfortable with settings. Great guy!
Dustin and Joey did an amazing job cleaning our gas fireplaces, making them look brand new! They were very professional and answered any concerns we had with our fireplaces. I definitely recommend their services!
Avoid! Had them clean and inspect my gas fireplace. Found that the pilot assembly needed to be replaced and had to order the part. So the tech said he would paint the box after he replaced the pilot. They wanted to charge me $425 to replace an $80 part. So I had someone else do it at a much lower cost. Then they wouldnt come out to paint my fireplace box because they didnt install the part even though I paid them for the service. Very poor way to run a business...get your money then they run. Dont use these guys!
Dustin and Calvin arrived on time. They efficiently cleaned and inspected our fireplace and were very tidy in doing so. The fireplace looks great and works well. I am very pleased with their work. I also appreciate that they wore face masks.
Always professional and on time. They do a great job. Ive used other chimney sweeps, but now only use River City
These guys are great! We had them come and service our wood burning fireplace after buying our new house just to make sure everything was safe for our family. The tech did an excellent job and even cleaned our fireplace doors before he left. They were even able to find some parts to update our older unit. I would definitely recommend these guys to anybody looking for a fireplace company.
Dustin came out to service and clean my vent free fireplace. He thoroughly explained the problem and the easy fix that was required. No run around or being told I needed an expensive replacement. Also gave me a quick explanation of the system and simple maintenance I could do myself until the next servicing. Couldnt be happier!
On time, answered all of my questions, and didnt leave a peck of dirt behind!
The service people were very polite and professional. My gas fireplace went from hardly working to looking brand new! I would highly recommend them for anyone looking!
Great company with great employees! Had an appointment scheduled for chimney cleaning and they (Ronnie and Dustin) showed up on time and made quick work of the task. Highly recommend this company.
Dustin and Ronnie were great. They called to inform me they were early, if it was okay, and ended up showing up 30 minutes early. They were kind, professional, and efficient. I recommend both the company and these two gentleman. I will use this service in the future.
We were treated awesome first from The owner Ron who we met with us a few different times. Then James and another technician came to our house and did the install of our new fireplace. Very professional and friendly!!!
Service was very professional. Servicemen were very COVID-19 conscious and respectful. very pleased with the professionalism and respect for our home. All of my neighbors have fireplaces I will recommend River City to them for Service.
The crew did a very professional job! They have us great advise for future maintenance and cleaning.We highly recommend River City Chimney for all your fireplace needs and advise! Thanks Guys your Awesome!
Smelled gas around fireplace so contacted Ron at River City Chimney & hearth. Sent technician, James, same day who found and fixed leak. Checked over and adjusted everything. Works better than it ever has. Great job! Will definitely use for any fireplace needs in the future.
A couple of years ago, I asked them to come out to fix our gas fireplace. Instead they charged me hundreds of dollars to clean it (which I didnt ask for - I can do that myself). I was angry about that and declined for them to come back with a part for another expensive visit.After seeing so many positive reviews, I felt that maybe that was just a one-off bad experience, so I decided to call them again and give them another chance to repair it in early December. They said they had to special-order the part, so they got back to me over a month later to set up the appointment. So I agreed to that delay. So today, THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT, the guy calls me and cancels the appointment because he doesnt like the review I gave him two years ago.He doesnt seem to understand that reviews are how customers hold businesses accountable.
Prompt, professional service. Kept the work area clean, explained process and repair options, very knowledgeable service reps. I would recommend River City for your fireplace needs.
We had a gas insert installed. River City was professional from the bid process to scheduling and installation.
A++ Professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. Exceptional service. Thanks again!Jackson Summers
The men were very friendly and thorough with their service! We really appreciated the service they did for usThank youBill & Barb Spiecker
We were very satisfied with the professional service, information shared, recommended and cleanliness of their work. Would definitely recommend and use their services in the future. They also called to let us know their anticipated arrival.
Awesome ! Very straightforward and a really good group of guys if you have any issues concerning fireplaces this is who to call highly recommended !!
We recently sold an property in Omaha with a non-functioning woodburning fireplace. The the inspection report from the buyer required us to have the fireplace converted to gas, and it had to be done pretty quickly before closing. Not only did Ron at River City turn everything around and get a great looking gas fireplace installed very quickly, he also worked with the buyer to ensure they were getting to style of product they wanted for the house to fit the period of architecture. He even saved the old glass door and stored it for the buyer until it was finished. Great group of people at River City Chimney & Hearth. They did exactly what they said they would do, and went the extra mile. 5 stars all the way!
Dustin was very friendly & professional. He did explain process and addressed my concerns. Answered all my questions. Fireplace looks great!!! Very happy with job done.
Excellent company. Extremely conscientious about protecting house, people and pets. Easy to work with, professional and great value. I have worked with other companies for my fireplace needs and River City Chimney and Hearth is the best by far!
I hired this company for $300 to clean my chimney and to examine the inside of the fireplace/ chimney to ensure it operates safely Per a home inspection report. The home inspection report already detailed the masonry work required on the outside of the chimney and my buyers did not ask me to do any of that work. So I told the company this and asked that they not to do anything on the outside of the chimney. Instead they did an 82 point inspection inside and out and then provided a bid that included Thousands of dollars of interior work plus additional thousands in exterior work throwing a huge unexpected wrench into a real estate transaction. My realtor was shocked.When I made demands that they provide a revised inspection report In line what they were hired to do they refused citing standards of the National Fire Protection Association. (NFPA) as if it were law. This organization is a citizen run organization and it is not the law. Instead Of simply providing a revised report that only cited the items on the interior of the chimney that needed to be fixed, I was met with accusations of requesting unethical things from them. I was then contacted by their attorney who has accused me of bullying behavior for making these demands and standing up for myself as a consumer I was trying to give them the opportunity not to have me to post this review. What really happened here was a company that knew that there was a real estate transaction and this is where they make the most money.
James and Ronny were very professional, thoroughand courteous. I will be calling this company back if I ever have a question. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend River City to a friend. Thank you so much for your high quality service!
Dustin was very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions I asked. Great service.
Very courteous and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain and answer questions. Would recommend and will continue to use
Professional and efficient. Will use again, and highly recommend.
They were very good at explaining what needed attention and why. Being new to a gas fireplace they demonstrated how it worked. Explained how to best maintain going forward. Super service and very pleasant technicians! Will use them for future work. Thanks for such great service!!
I got my chimney cleaned last October. I have yet to hear back from them about a quote on an insert. I also tried calling 3-4 times about having someone come out to fix the chimney cap and no one ever got back to me.Disappointed in the lack of communication and wish I knew what it would cost to put a fire place in. I already had someone else do the cap because no response.
We had our gas fireplace serviced by River City and they did an amazing job!! They inspected it, cleaned it, made sure it was set up correctly (which it hadnt been) and gave recommendations on how to properly and safely enjoy it. I would highly recommend River City Chimney & Hearth and will definitely call them for all my future fireplace and grill needs!!
I recently hired River City Chimney & Hearth to inspect and service the fireplace in my home. They were friendly and professional from the first call until the service was completed. They were extremely efficient and I could hardly tell they had been there when I got home, they did such a great job of cleaning up after themselves. I also had them work on my Green Mountain Grill that I was having trouble with. Dustin did a great job diagnosing and fixing the problem and was extremely helpful. If you are needing to service you fireplace or looking to purchase a fireplace or grill, definitely give River City a call. You wont be disappointed with their first class customer service and work.
This is my second year of service with River City Chimney; and the service rendered has been superb. I look forward to continuing my business with them because of their quality work, punctuality and the knowledge provided regarding my chimney.Once again, I appreciate your service over the past two years.Dwayne
River city came to sweep and camera my chimney. They were on time and I received a text reminder and call before they came to my house. They worked quickly and were very clean. They used a large shop vac while performing the sweep to keep the shoot out of our house. They explained everything I needed to know very simply and provided an electronic report with pictures and details of their findings. Very knowledgeable guys and also very professional. Would recommend their service!
We purchased a new house two years ago and the fire place had never worked. Called River City and they were out here within a week and got our fire place working with in an hour. They even repainted the fire place giving it a fresh new look. Awesome place!
Professional, educational and personal. Cleaned the fireplace and added a automatic fan switch to another fireplace.
Dustin was great. Very knowledgeable and described in detail everything he had worked on and what we needed to do for maintenance. I have two little kids at home and he was very friendly to them. We will definitely be calling them for any other fireplace repairs!
Experienced tech, James, was knowledgeable and articulate in explaining his assessment of our old fireplace. Thorough inspection, cleaning and written report with pictures of the problems that would require repairs. Very neat and tidy while dealing with the very messy process of sweeping a chimney.
Dustin came to my home to inspect and clean my gas fireplace. He was very knowledgeable and efficient in his work. He explained everything to me as he worked, which I appreciated. Very nice technician and obviously knew what he was doing. My fireplace is now ready and working for the upcoming winter season and Im a very happy camper!! Would have Dustin with River City Chimney & Hearth back again gladly.
Always a pleasure to do business with this group. Knowledgeable and willing to explain to the homeowner all details for ongoing maintenance.
They were amazing. Arrived early! They took the time to go over the fireplace with me as this is my first time using a fireplace. They were friendly and very knowledgeable. Will definitely be calling back next year for my next cleaning. Thanks!
This company is fantastic to work with. They serviced two gas fireplaces and did a super job. Quality workmanship and very nice staff! I definitely recommend!
This is the 2nd time weve hired River City, and, like last time, I am very pleased with the service we received. They were on time, professional, and friendly. I appreciated how they took care to protect our flooring and hearth while working on our fireplace. I also appreciated how they gave some tips on how to operate it. Finally, they provided a comprehensive inspection and service report for my records. Excellent company.
Use someone else. These guys charged $300 for a 20 minute inspection and didn’t even open up the unit to clean it. Then wanted to charge $450 to replace a $70 part that others said was fine, and $550 to replace a $250 vent cap that took 2 minutes to replace. Would have liked to recommend and use someone local, but these guys will rip you off. We recommend Fireplace Stone & Patio of Nebraska.
Great service. Dustin was running late but called before the appointment time to let me know and make sure it would be ok to be 30 minutes late. He got there and was done in about an hour. Since this is a new to ya house as if a year ago we had no idea how to operate the fireplace and he showed us how!
River City Chimney & Hearth did a inspection on our Chimney. They were very thorough and incredibly nice. I highly recommend River City & Hearth!! We will definitely be using them for our Chimney needs in the future. Thanks James and River City Chimney & Hearth staff!
Recently bought a home and out of all the nightmare issues we have found so far the fireplace not working was another unnecessary annoyance. It had not been lit in 8 years and could not get it to light.Dealing with these folks though from the start has helped ease that significantly. Their professionalism and prompt service was really welcomed as I have been dealing with a lot of contractors as of late that offer neither.After a cleaning and inspection not only did my fireplace light but they also answered any and all questions I had. I have never had a gas fireplace before so it was nice to get some instruction on it. Sadly the safety inspection came back with a not so clean bill of health but they told me what could and needed to be done in order to have my fireplace working safely. Once I get savings back up will definitely be returning to them to make those repairs.
The people at River City Chimney & Hearth are excellent. They know what they are talking about and have always been very responsive not only for me personally but also my business. Couldnt be happier with their service, professional approach, and willingness to go out of their way when they dont have to. I dont hesitate recommending them when Im asked about fireplace issues, chimneys, or smoker grilles. Good group of people and I am appreciative of their work. Cheers!
I recommend River City,A job well done.
Technicians arrived on schedule, explained in detail what they would be doing, and got to work. When finished, they reviewed the results of the inspection & cleaning with us, ensuring we understood and agreed with the results of their work. Additionally, they emailed us a file containing the details of their efforts. Excellent work throughout!
We just had River City Chimney & Hearth come out and clean our fireplace and chimney and they were AMAZING! they were on time, friendly, and completed the work fast. They also told us what they were going to do before they did it.
I was very pleased how fast they came out to fix our fireplace. The technician was very friendly and very knowledgeable. Very happy overall.
I am so impressed with the tech Dustin. He has been out to my house 3 different times for 3 different issues. Very respectful and quick to repairs. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for smoker repairs.
Knowledgeable and thorough. They were not trying to hard sell me on anything. Fixed my problem, provided me a detailed report with photos, and then gave me all the options for gas logs and inserts if I decided to go that route.
Sowed up on exact time as scheduled. Very professional and did a great job as to an assessment for the price quoted. Will reserve final rating until final price for recommended replacement of needed parts
Ron, James and all at River City,I cant even begin to tell you guys how impressed we are with the all around quality of the service that you have given us. From the first visit that James made to explain that you could certainly replace our inadequate gas fireplace with a beautiful new high functioning model. We then visited the showroom where we choose the model that James recommended. We were given a price and a date and all was compatible. What really impressed was the timing. I had planned for my area to be out of commission for at least five days, from tear out to completion. What a pleasant surprise to be sitting in front of our beautiful new working fireplace in less than three full days.When I awoke this am and the temperature was 59 degrees in house, I turned on the smart fireplace and was at 67 degrees within an hour. Bring on winter!James was THE BEST, so professional and competent. With Josh at his side they left the work sight immaculate. We have dealt with builders and other service so called professionals and you guys put them all to shame. We love you guys! You are truly THE BEST. I will spread your name to all who will listen. Thank You So Much!Sincerely,Deb Dwyer
Dustin was very professional and did an excellent job servicing our fireplace and explained everything as he went. We would definitely recommend River City Chimney & Hearth for all your fireplace needs.
I chose this company after many people on the Nextdoor app recommended them and I did my research. We have never owned a home with a working fireplace before. Ours is a gas, direct vent fireplace. So we wanted piece of mind knowing that our home is completely safe and how to use the fireplace.I checked with the BBB, Facebook posts and their awesome website. Their website is a must to check out!! They have multiple videos for the work that they do on which type of fireplace you have. Ron walks you through what they do and how it benefits your family and your home.We had James Yoshida over as the technician. We have two boys (4 & 2) that were also home and very interested in who he was and what he was doing. James laid down blankets to protect our floor from any mess.He took things apart and serviced the fireplace. Vacuumed the logs, replaced the embers, cleaned the glass and painted the inside to look new. He made sure before he painted that no one was allergic to paint fumes. Which I thought was a great question to ask as you never know.My children were all up in his business asking questions and James had the patience to answer them. (They has good questions) James even blew up a glove for the kiddos to share.It was refreshing to invite a stranger into your home and have them leave as a friend would. I highly recommend the company.I also wanted to mention Ron as each time I called, he took the time to answer my questions. At first when I told him I was gathering quotes, I hung up from him thinking that was nice to not feel pressured to have to set up an appointment right away or make a split decision. I called back after the service was performed to gather more clarification and Ron nailed my questions.Finally, we have a digital copy of the service performed along with photos of before, during and after. We will see them again next Winter.
They showed exactly when they said they would. The guys that did the inspection and cleaning were very knowledgeable and shred any information they could. They did a great job cleaning and left absolutely no mess from cleaning a very dirty chimney. Great work they are now my chimney cleaning company for as long as I have a wood burning burning fireplace.
As a first time home buyer, I was excited and overwhelmed to have a fireplace. When winter approached, I knew it would be in my best interest to have the fireplace (wood burning) inspected and swept before use. I called a few places, but was immediately sold on River City Chimney & Hearth after the first conversation with Ron.Ron is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, personable and helpful. He provided not only a thorough inspection and cleaning with high quality equipment, but also taught my wife and I how to properly use and get the most out of our fireplace.I would recommend River City Chimney & Hearth to family and friends. I will definitely be using them for any needs I have in the future!Ted Peters
We had a very good experience with River City. Very professional and thorough and they did an amazing job Cleaning my stove! I will definitely recommend them to anyone in the future
They were very nice and do a great job.Would highly recomend them.
The guys at River City Chimney are great and pleasant to work with. They were flexible in finding a time to work with me, dependable and on-time, and ensured that I was well educated in making my decisions. They worked quickly and efficiently and were very respectful of my home. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the services of River City Chimney to a friend or family member.
Our experience was very good with the exception of the scheduled time for their visit to our home. We were under the impression the visit was to be later in the evening. When we were text the verification time we were scheduled for 3:00 - 4:00. After a visit on the phone we kept the 3:00 time but then we were called by the service men saying they could be to our home at a little after the noon hour. We made it all work but it was a little frustrating. The work was done VERY WELL! We do appreciate their services and will use them again. The cost was less than we thought it would be. A plus! Thank you!
I would recommend this company to every one. Very professional and thorough.
We had a great first experience with River City Chimney & Hearth. From our first point-of-contact with the owner to the service technicians who visited our home, we were so impressed with their attentive customer service, detailed communication, and professionalism. We will definitely be recommending River City Chimney & Hearth to our friends, family, and anyone else seeking assistance from a company they can trust.
I highly recommend River City Chimney & Hearth! I called regarding a bird in my fireplace and the blower not working. I spoke with Ron over the phone and he had James and Josh come out. They were at my house in less than an hour and got the bird out as well as fixing the blower and cleaned the glass up. Each of them had excellent customer service skills and were just overall awesome!! If you have fireplace issues definitely give River City Chimney a call!!!!!
This company came to our home today and they did outstanding work. I highly recommend them!
I highly recommend River City for chimney sweeps. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. I have never dealt with fireplaces before and they walked me through everything I needed to know. I will call them again for anything I need for my fireplace.
Professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Did a great job! Will recommend!
I highly recommend this company. They did a thorough job, answered all my questions and even gave me good advice on future projects for my home. Ron came out and took the time to answer all my questions without trying to sell me anything. Yes, he will tell you about things he sells, but he wont push them on you.
Very professional and knowledgeable. I have used them several times and have been completely satisfied every time. I will definitely use them again.
Ron and James are wonderful. They did an excellent job removing and installing our new fireplace. The fire place turned out beautiful. I highly recommend them, if you need any type of work done on your fireplace.We also had him come before we replaced our fire place to work on the old one and he did a terrific job on that as well. Thank you, the Harters
They are friendly, thorough and experienced. I was comfortable having them in my home and they kept everything very clean. I would recommend them to anyone needing a chimney inspection and sweep.
As a first time fireplace owner this was the first time I had my fireplace serviced. They were very friendly & efficient, cleaned up before leaving, explained things thoroughly, answered any questions I had. I will be using their service again for any issues and routine maintenance.
Great service, polite, professional crew. Gave great tips for future fireplace health!!
Very professional and thorough.
These guys know there trade and are excellent at what they do.
I asked Ron, the owner of River City Chimney and Hearth, to repair my fireplace earlier this year. The fireplace was 17 + years old; the fireplace company had been sold and resold multiple times. I didnt think there was any possibility that the pieces needed would ever be found. Ron went on line and tracked the pieces through multiple, multiple sales. He found the right manufacturer and ordered the pieces. When an essential piece arrived broken, he added going directly to the factory to get the proper piece to his vacation itinerary. The work Ron and his crew did for me was beyond excellent! My fireplace is now in pristine shape. I am very satisfied with the work that they did and I recommend them highly.
My husband and I moved into a home where the fireplace hadnt been used in years. Karen did a wonderful job getting us in for a chimney sweep right away. Ron and Jeremy did the sweep AND helped us figure out our next step for converting it from a wood burning to gas fireplace. They fit us in the next week to come back out to the house and install a brand new log set! Everyone was very helpful in teaching us how the new system worked as well. A big thanks to Ron, Karen, Jeremy and Chris! You guys were a pleasure to work with.
We have an old fireplace, but they sourced and replaced the malfunctioning part quickly. They also painted our fireplace for free while inspecting and cleaning it. Friendly and professional service!
Very thorough, and knowledgeable. I will have them back again and recommend them to my friends and neighbors.
Very nice and thorough
Ron was excellent at answering all our questions.All the guys were very friendly and professional,the fireplace they installed for us looks great.We highly recommend River City
They were personable, knowledgeable and very quick with service.
Exceptional Service. Wonderful People. Extremely Fast & Efficient. Very Clean. Timely. Will Be Using River City Chimney & Hearth Every Year From Here On Out. Will Refer Everyone To Them!!!
Professional and time efficient . Easy to schedule with and sent an appointment reminder. Thank you.
Professional, Friendly and Knowledgeable. My fireplace looks like new and works great!
The folks from River City Chimney were outstanding. I called them simply by looking online, and, as you might imagine, that can sometimes go wrong. But, not this time. From the very moment my conversation with R C C&H started, I knew I had made the right call. Ron and his associate came out and examined all three of our fireplaces and chimneys. He took the time to look at all of them closely and then to clean them. He explained in detail the differences between the different types of chimneys I have and how I should maintain all of them. Ron even took the time to test some of the wood I was chopping and explain moisture content and so on.Ultimately, we decided to get a new gas insert for one of the fireplaces in the house. Ron took his time to decide which type of unit would be best and gave us an honest estimate that included all installation and material costs. It wasnt cheap, but I felt confident that Ron was dealing with me in an honest way because he provided me with information to check out the company online. His price for the unit came in cheaper than what it would have been if I had ordered it myself. And, he installed it.The installation was on time and done with a great deal of professionalism. My children were at home with my sister-in-law when he installed it since I couldnt be there. Ron took the time to show my children how to use it and explain the safety features. His directions were so clear that my son could explain it to me later. Now, thats great service.Ron followed up with me later to make sure all was working fine and that I liked the way it looked. I deeply appreciate this type of service and will continue to call R C C&H whenever I need anything related to fireplaces and chimney cleaning. You cant go wrong with them.
