    -Booking website is still available; the business is believed to be out of business.-Endorsements Angie's List and BBB logos are displayed.-Adams Chimney Specialist uses ChimneySaver Water Repellent which is the #1 water repellent for your chimney & masonry.

    Advertisements should be truthful, sincere offers to sell. Advertisers have a responsibility to have substantiation for all claims made and should be able to provide that substantiation upon request. All advertising that may mislead or deceive consumers should be avoided.Superlative statements in advertisements about the tangible qualities and performance values of a product or service are objective claims for which the advertiser must possess substantiation as they can be based upon accepted standards or tests.

      Unanswered
      Kurtis ***** came to my property for an estimate on chimney repair/maintenance in March 21 and provided estimates. I contacted Kurtis to finalize an estimate at $4,203.21 and signed the estimate on 7/16/21, with a deposit of $2,101.67, to begin on 9/7. The morning of 9/7 I checked on the WA State of Labor website for the contractor information provided to me, ************, and discovered that his license was not current and no current insurance or bond. We called Kurtis who claimed it was a mistake it would be cleared up that morning and work could begin. I received an email at 11:00 am that day with a message that "we are waiting for our company to get back to us regarding the paperwork" and this was the last written email or reply I received. I emailed Kurtis on 9/8/21 informing him that his initial estimate and contract was written with fraudulent information and I would like my deposit returned and no longer want services performed. I emailed also 9/9 and 9/10, with no responses.
