Murphy’s Chimney Service

Philip inspected our brick chimney that is connected to a fireplace and our gas furnace. He determined that it needed re-​lining and did all the work that day. The price was very fair and he did a great job. Very thorough and knowledgeable. He even came back a few days later at no charge when the fireplace had rain dripping down inside and we determined that it was a roof/​flashing problem, not connected in any way to the work he had done. Highly recommended.

Got in touch with the office lady who is pretty much just an answering machine for Phillip to call back — whenever he feels like it, no shows & late to appointments are the usual respect toward customers. Is this sounding like somebody you want to spend thousands on? Maybe he gets along with contractors setting him up work, but general attitude is he will take a chimney job if its an easy job to take your money and limited and unwilling in many ways. He is prob capable of building chimneys, defiantly not eager to do so.
I’m not sure what yah’ll experiences are, but it seemed like he has a prepared list of excuses ready to go lol.

I needed a new chimney liner installed after I bought a new house. I thought I needed a steel liner, but Philip explained the pluses and minuses between steel and aluminum and convinced me that in my case I needed aluminum, which saved me money. He and his team worked through the day and did great work, and he let me know the details of the state of the current chimney and liner during the process. Very friendly and trustworthy.

Very helpful. competitive prices.
He also gave me a referral to another store to complete my other remodel projects, which I really appreciated.

Philip is the real deal. I was having some problems with my chimney in my house in Madrona, and he diagnosed the problem correctly (after it had been mis-​diagnosed by another chimney company), explained it really well, gave me a really fair bid, completed the work with his co-​worker exactly when he said he would, and cleaned up really well afterwards. I agree with what another reviewer said — that Philip is «pleasantly old school.» I «found him on the Internet», as they say, and I’m really glad I did. Highly recommend him.

Philip showed up on short notice and looked at my roof. We had a big problem on our hands! Philip bowed out politely on this project as it was more of a roof problem and referred me to another entity and they were able to fix our problem quickly and economical. Philip was about as honest as it gets as friendly as it gets and as professional as it gets!

Called to arrange for a visit and estimate. All they kept asking me is «How did you find us?» When I would say, he promptly said they were too busy. I’m sure if I said Angie’s List, then I’m sure he would have bent over backwards to provide service.

Highly recommend working with Philip. A polite, honest, fair, hardworking, skilled craftman; you might describe him as pleasantly old school! Pretty much everything you want in a contractor.
Philip assessed my project quickly, provided me with a variety of options with the various pros and cons of each, wrote up a detailed estimate, and he and his mate Ron went promptly to work. The job took exactly as long as they said, and they were incredibly careful and thorough with their clean up.
It was a real pleasure doing business with him.

Philip is a rare contractor who is talented, honest, and fair-​priced. The work was very well done and when he found some extra work that needed to be done that he hadn’t included in his original quote he refused to charge me for it and did it anyway.
I wish I could use them for more than just chimney work. They were excellent.

I chose Murphy’s Chimney to get rid of our chimney for 2 reasons. First, their quote was lower than the one I got from another company. The second, but the more important reason was because Philip, the owner of the company, gave us a great impression of thoroughness and sincerity. Even though it was a free quote, Philip spent a good hour or so to assess the project and plan it out in detail to provide an accurate quote as our chimney project was pretty tricky. My house is 3-​story tall and the chimney was several feet even taller than the house. There was only a few feet of space between my house and my neighbors’ so it’s hard to set up a ladder to get all the way up to the top of the chimney. In addition to that, because the chimney went through the second floor roof and the gutter on the third floor, the roof and the gutter needed to be patched after the chimney was removed. Philip kept in touch frequently until the project started. When the time for the project came, Philip brought Ron and the two worked all day and gave the project an undivided attention, finishing it in one weekend. They started Saturday morning and finished by Sunday morning. They cleaned up after the project and left everything clean. I couldn’t have been happier with the whole experience we had with this company. Philip is a very personable and honest guy who really cares about the quality of the work he provides. He’s got a hell of sense of humor too which I appreciated wholeheartedly.

Phillip with Murphy’s Chimney Service was Great. He cleaned my Chimney and did everything necessary to make it work great again. I called him with just one day in advance and he was able to get me on his schedule. He made sure everything was left cleaned before he left. Very professional, nice guy and funny too. :) I would definitely recommend him.
