Dean took on a couple of jobs at my house and did a great job of both. One involved installing a liner in my ceramic flue - a job made more difficult by there being a dog-leg in the routing of the liner. I wanted a steel liner because it is a tall chimney and never drew very well. Being ceramic, it didn't warm up or hold the heat very well resulting in poor draft, lots of smoke and creosote build up. Attached to this chimney is a huge wood stove that I can heat my whole house with, so I really wanted it to work well. I'd had quotes from other installers, but none appeared ready or able to do the work; one simply didn't return calls. Dean did it on budget and on time. The stove works great now, good draw, no smoke and I'm finally able to use the re-burner on it, which will mean cleaner burns and fewer chminey sweeps.
He also repaired and installed a Vermont Castings stove I had acquired from my in-laws when they went to natural gas. Even though it was a great stove and code compliant, other installers tried to sell me a new steel stove rather than fix and install this unit. Dean also removed a double wall steel chimney that was not code compliant and installed a new double wall unit and connected the stove. Again, on budget and on time - I couldn't be happier with the stove and with the workmanship of the install. Dean and his helper are hands-on professionals, courteous and knowledgeable. I'd recommend Dean Brandhagen Chimney Services to anyone...I guess I already have :)
