Experienced Chimney servicers Jason Rieger Owner Rich Cole Mason Laura Stewart Office Manager Testimonials Chris. B Wayne and his team serviced our chimney in South Baltimore. He and his crew were very clean and honest with their inspection. They were able to convert our traditional fireplace to a Regency gas fireplace. Once everything was installed, Wayne followed up to make sure we were pleased with the service and product. A few months later I got a call that the blower came in and they were going to come back out and install it. That was a pleasant surprise. I would certainly recommend McDowell’s to anyone in the Baltimore area. Ida & Bill Kern Jason, Thank you and your staff at McDowell's' Chimney Complete Service for the professional installation of my new Regency free standing gas stove. The installation of the vent in our side wall looks great. Your explanation of how the unit operates was very informative and has come in handy. Having a split level home where the lower lever was always cooler has been corrected by the installation of this stove. the thermostat keeps the lower level very comfortable. Even during a power failure the stove kept us comfortable. Thank your staff for being prompt, courteous and even did a great job cleaning up afterwards. Willy My wife and I have an old home with 6 fireplaces, a furnace flue, and kitchen hearth flue, and we have been very happy McDowells customers for well over a decade. They have installed new stainless steel liners, and they inspect and clean all our flues as needed on a yearly basis. The teams that service our house are always courteous, conscientious, and they clean up well behind their work, and the company has always been very fair with their pricing. I recommend them highly, knowing they will take good care of all your chimney needs.
