Testimonials for Santa’s Friend Chimney Service
‘Best chimney sweep’ also fine man, good friend
If it was the intent of The Clarion Ledger to profile a fine and dedicated man during his job, they could not have picked a better person than Jim Robinson. Jim has been my chimney sweep for many years and takes care of not only the chimneys but also the fireboxes and flues. Earlier this year, not long after I lost my beloved Carolyn Temple, I was obligated to forward with a party on what looked to be a cold day and I knew I needed fires in all the fireplaces where people would be. In laying the fire in the living room I noticed the flue was broken and in a closed position. Naturally I called Jim, and he was there the next morning. He fixed the flue, checked the chimney along with the one in the library and was on the roof for quite some time while Justin was working inside.
As he was packing up and getting ready to leave, I asked him how much I owed him. He looked at me and said “just send a check to a charity in Carolyn’s name.” That is the type of man he is and always will be, not only the best chimney sweep I have ever had but one of the finest men I have ever known, and I am proud to call him my friend.

Hi Jim. Honestly, we were skeptical at first & didn't believe that our Regency insert would heat our entire house. With almost 3,000 sq ft, an open balcony & 22 ft ceilings in both the den and foyer, we had tried everything (including gas logs) and nothing worked until now. I am happy to say that the Regency insert is everything you said it would be. For the first time in 20 years we are actually warm in winter! No joke, it was 48 degrees last night but 68 degrees on the other end of the house in our bathroom without turning on any heat at all & it's usually freezing in there. Thank you for recommending it, we couldn't be more pleased! See you in the spring for cleaning.

"Over the past few months, my dryer was taking increasingly longer to dry our clothes so I decided it was time to call an expert. Santa's Friend had been recommended by a gentleman who had worked on my garage door so I placed a call to Jim Robinson on a Thursday and was pleasantly surprised to find out he could come by the next day...Jim called when he was on the way and set to work immediately with his co-worker, Justin, upon arrival. They were very careful about the carpet and within no time, the job was done. Jim explained the need to make the vent connection from the dryer to the wall as short as possible and helped me understand the need to keep the pipe that exhausts to the outside free from lint build-up. Of course, the proof of any job is in the final result. I immediately washed a load of towels and much to my delight, they were dry on the first cycle. I estimate my overall drying time has been cut by 60% which, of course, saves me money on electricity. I highly recommend Santa's Friend Chimney for dryer vent service. They were thorough, professional and knew that my time was valuable."

"Thanks for all of you and your team's help after our chimney fire, Jim. I'm very impressed with the Heat Shield product and the parging job that was done on the smoke chamber. The fireplace works a great deal more efficiently now. I appreciate the great job and level of professionalism and knowledge."
