Our Guarantee & Warranty - Alcott Chimney Dallas

The Alcott Chimney Dallas Guarantee

Every chimney sweep, inspection, and gas fireplace repair we complete in Dallas carries a written guarantee before we even pick up a brush. That’s not a sales tactic. It’s how we’ve operated since 2002, and it’s how Ruben Castellano runs Alcott Chimney Dallas today. If our repair work fails, the second visit is free, period. That guarantee is written on every job, not hidden in fine print, and it’s backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: a full year of accountability on every completed job. You’ll know exactly what we’ll do, what it costs, and what happens if it isn’t right, all before you pay a dollar.

What’s Covered

• Workmanship on every repair. If a repair we performed fails within the guarantee period, we return and fix it at no charge. The second visit is free, always in writing, never a verbal promise.
• Parts and materials we install. We carry and install professional trade brands like DuraFlex liner systems, HeatShield resurfacing, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield. Materials specified by chimney professionals, not improvised substitutes off a big-box shelf.
• Written pricing before any work begins. The price you approve is the price you pay. No discoveries, no surprise line items, no “while we’re here” additions at the end of the job.
• Cleanup and respect for your home. We treat a Dallas living room like our own. Drop cloths down, work area clean when we leave, and no soot tracked across your floors or rugs.
• On-time arrival with a name and a face. You’ll know the technician’s name and see their photo before we arrive. They’ll show a photo ID badge at the door, every time, no exceptions.
• Honest recommendations only. Nothing gets recommended without camera evidence you can see for yourself. If a liner can safely wait, we’ll tell you it can wait. If it can’t, we’ll show you exactly why on screen.

Our Satisfaction Promise

If something isn’t right after we leave, you call us and we come back. That’s the whole promise. Not a call center script, not a claims process, not a manager you have to escalate to. You call (361) 264-4483, you talk to a live person, and we schedule the return visit. If the repair failed, that visit is free. If the sweep didn’t meet the standard we promised, we make it right on our dime. Ruben Castellano has built Alcott Chimney Dallas on the idea that a chimney company in Dallas should be accountable for its work long after the truck pulls out of the driveway. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means you get a full year to discover any problem with our completed work and hold us to it. We’d rather come back and fix it properly than leave a Dallas homeowner wondering if their fireplace is safe.

Licensed & Insured Backing

Paperwork only matters if it’s real. Alcott Chimney Dallas is licensed and insured, and we’re part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies. Every technician passes a background check and identity verification before ever stepping onto your property. We call it the Threshold Standard, and it’s not an optional upgrade or a premium tier. It’s the baseline for everyone we send to a Dallas home. Background-checked, identity-verified, uniformed, and announced to you by name and photo before arrival. When a technician rings your doorbell, you already know who they are and what they look like. If something goes wrong on the job, you’re protected by our insurance coverage. If a repair fails, our written guarantee kicks in. That’s the real backing behind every sweep, inspection, and gas fireplace repair we do in Dallas.

What the Guarantee Actually Means for Your Dallas Home

Let’s put this in terms that make sense on a job site. You hire us to sweep a chimney in Lakewood or Preston Hollow. We show up on time, show you our ID, do the work, clean up, and hand you a written report. You pay exactly what was quoted. Six months later, something feels off, maybe the gas fireplace we repaired in your Oak Cliff home isn’t lighting right, or the damper we adjusted is sticking again. You call (361) 264-4483. A live person answers. We send someone back. If it’s a repair we performed and it failed, that second visit is free. No arguing about whose fault it is, no blaming the weather, no re-quoting the job. That’s what a guarantee is supposed to be, and that’s what Alcott Chimney Dallas has been doing since 2002.

We serve homeowners all across Dallas, from the M Streets to Bluffview, from Casa Linda to Kessler Park. The guarantee travels wherever we work. It applies to chimney sweeping, chimney inspection, and gas fireplace repair, every single time. It’s written because Ruben Castellano knows that a handshake only works if both parties remember it the same way. A written guarantee removes the memory problem entirely.

Why We Put It in Writing

Most chimney companies in Dallas will tell you they do good work. Almost none of them will hand you a written guarantee on every repair before the work begins. We do, because we’ve seen too many homeowners get burned, sometimes literally, by contractors who promise one thing and deliver another. A creosote fire, that tar-like buildup that causes chimney fires, doesn’t care about verbal assurances. A cracked flue liner doesn’t care about a friendly technician. What protects you is a company that stands behind its work with specific, written terms. That’s what Alcott Chimney Dallas offers. Written price before work starts, written guarantee on every repair, free second visit if the repair fails, and a full year of accountability through the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If you have questions about what’s covered or want to see the guarantee language before you book, call (361) 264-4483 and ask. We’ll walk you through it line by line. That’s the point: you shouldn’t have to take our word for anything.

Common Guarantee Questions

Does the guarantee expire?

The 365-Day Done Right Promise gives you a full year of accountability on every completed job we do in Dallas. During that year, if a repair we made fails, we return and fix it free. The guarantee itself is written on the job paperwork, so you’ll always know exactly what’s covered and for how long. Call (361) 264-4483 if you have questions about a specific job or want the terms explained before you book.

What if I’m not happy with a sweep, not a repair?

Call us and we’ll come back and make it right. That’s the satisfaction promise. We don’t split hairs over whether it was a repair or a standard chimney sweep. If the work didn’t meet the standard we promised, we’ll address it. Our goal is a clean, safe fireplace and a Dallas homeowner who feels confident recommending us to their neighbors.

Are the technicians really background-checked and identity-verified?

Every single one. It’s the Threshold Standard, the baseline for everyone who works under the Alcott Chimney Dallas name. Background check and identity verification happen before a technician ever steps onto a customer’s property. You’ll see the technician’s name and photo before arrival, and they’ll show a photo ID badge at the door. No exceptions, every time. If someone shows up claiming to be from Alcott and can’t produce that ID, don’t let them in. Call us at (361) 264-4483 and we’ll sort it out immediately.

Is the written price really the final price?

Yes. The written price you approve before work begins is the price you pay. If we discover something during the job that needs attention, like damage we couldn’t see until we got inside the flue, we’ll stop and show you the camera footage. Then we’ll give you a new written price for the additional work. You approve it or you don’t. There’s no scenario where we finish the job and hand you a bill with surprise charges on it. That’s not how Alcott Chimney Dallas has operated since 2002, and it’s not how we’ll operate tomorrow.
