| Dieters Hagen Chimney Company P.O. Box 329 Franklin Square, N.Y. 11010 Attn: Owner/President Dear Sirs: First I want to say thank you for the excellent work Mike did with my chimney. I felt very comfortable with Mike because he explained everything to me in detail and also showed me pictures of the stainless steel liner and how everything would look when the job was completed. They also checked my heating system completely when he finished and assured me everything was working properly. This certainly made me feel confident about the work he did. I also want to say that I felt very trustworthy of Dieters Hagen Chimney Company while they were at my home. I certainly will highly recommend your company in the future and I am very pleased with the work that was done. Thank you again from a very satisfied customer. Sincerely, Barbara Herzog Williston Park, NY |
| Dieters Hagen LLC P.O. Box 329 Franklin Square, N.Y. 11010 Dear Mike, I just felt that I had to write to tell you how pleased my wife and I are with the terrific job you and Mike did rebuilding our chimney last month. I am not the easiest person in the world to satisfy, to say the least: I expect people to do the same kind of job I always try to do—the best! Unfortunately, in this day and age, my expectations are rarely met; fortunately, Dieters Hagen is obviously a company with standards that equal my own. The way you carefully placed each brick in place—checking every one with a carpenter's level, constantly adjusting each one until it was just perfect—bore evidence to the fact that you are, indeed, a craftsman who takes pride in his work; a man who realizes that his work is a reflection of himself, that it makes a statement about the kind of person he is. Before you came to inspect my chimney six tradesmen, all of whom claimed to be "experts" who knew what they were doing, came to my house to analyze my chimney problem. Not one of them offered an explanation that fully answered my questions as to why our chimney was deteriorating in the strange way it was to my satisfaction. It was only after you came that the pieces to our "chimney puzzle" all fell into place. It was obvious from your initial inspection that you are experienced and are wisely willing to take the time to clearly explain all the options, procedures involved, and costs to your customers. The pile of literature you provided helped clarify why the new, more efficient, gas boiler I had installed three years ago eventually ruined my chimney. If the people who put in the boiler realized that it was not compatible with our old-style masonry chimney—and they should have—it would have been a relatively simple, far less expensive job to just reline the chimney. At any rate, your clear, honest approach pays off. It is why we chose your company to undertake the job. As I got to know you better each day you came to work on the house, my faith and confidence in you only increased more and more: there was no rush to finish so as to be able to get to the next job as soon as possible; there was no mess left over for me to clean up after you and Mike each day, something I am sure everyone you deal with greatly appreciates! If I had a question you didn't have the answer to, you made it your business to research it and get me an answer. My thanks must also be expressed to Cathy Fox for the kind and efficient way she handled my inquiries and messages to you. The conscientious efforts of such good "support" people in the office too often go unheralded. Hopefully such is not the case at Dieters Hagen as Ms. Fox obviously makes a significant contribution to the efficient day-to-day funning of the business. Let me just close by thanking all of you at Dieters Hagen once again for a job well done. Do not hesitate to use me as a reference should the need arise. Sincerely, Ronald R. Huetter Kings Park, NY |
| Dieters Hagen Chimney Company P.O. Box 329 Franklin Square, N.Y. 11010 Gentlemen: Just a note of well deserved thanks, and a report of the words of two "critiques" - one before the job, one after - which you might find interesting. I did. 1. When my insurance adjuster saw your estimate for the storm damage repair portion of the work, his first comment was: "Dieters? I know their work. I'm glad you're not using some fly-by-night chimney sweep company. They'll do a good job." He then wrote out a check, on the spot, which covered the full amount (less deductible) of your repair estimate. 2. My son-in-law, who is a European trained master craftsman and custom resort home builder up state, inspected the work you performed from chimney to basement and said you had done "first class brick and cement work from top to bottom" and that he, too, "uses only Z-FLEX." It seems he learned about it in Switzerland where it's equivalent has been in use in high efficiency heating systems for some time. From my own observation, I learned from Mike, your foreman, that there's more to chimneys than the average homeowner would believe possible. He takes pride in his work and he is a gentleman and pleasure to work with. AND, to top it off, I can report lower oil bills already, and all we're doing is making hot water. Thank you, again, for a job well done. Sincerely, Seth D. Bartner Great Neck, N.Y. 11021 |
Dieters Hagen Chimney Company P.O. Box 329 Franklin Square, NY 11010 Gentlemen: As you are aware, we had a very bad experience with Best Chimney Co. of Farmingdale giving us an exorbitant estimate for unnecessary chimney repair work. Subsequently, we contacted your company. We would just like to thank you, not only for the quality repair work that your men did for us, but mostly for operating your company in an honest fashion. We are very pleased with the work you did for us, and be assured that you will receive excellent recommendations from us. Please keep up the good, honest work. Yours truly, Mrs. Carmela Schott |
Dieters Hagen Attn: Mike I just wanted to tell you in writing that in my experience in dealing with Dieters Hagen, I always felt I was in good hands. Appointments to do work were done on the phone and the work was done as scheduled and in a professional way. Where there was one "minor" problem that happened right after the "blizzard of 1996" I called and it was corrected within 24-36 hours at no charge. I have recommended your firm to friends and will continue to do so. Thanks again, Joel Sarnoff |
On December 1, 1995, we had work done on our chimney by Dieters Hagen. A new liner was installed plus smoke pipes, mortar collar, rain cap, carbon monoxide detector, etc. When Dieters Hagen Chimney Company came to our home to inspect our chimney, they spent over an hour explaining the problem and what had to be done and why. They were courteous, professional and I might add, extremely likable. We had two other companies come but we felt Dieters was the company we wanted to deal with and we are not sorry. Quality is what we look for in home repairs and that is what we received from Dieters Hagen Chimney Company. They took great precautions to keep our home clean as they worked and our basement was cleaner when they had finished then before they started. They are professionals in the truest sense of the word and they scored high points in our household. Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. Joseph Koller West Hempstead |
Dieters Hagen LLC P.O. Box 329 Franklin Square, N.Y. 11010 Dear Sirs, At the end of October 1994 you had your assistant (Mike) install a chimney in our home. While I have no way of knowing if a fuel savings took place this winter, I do know that everything you installed is performing as it should. You were efficient, courteous, explained exactly what was to be done and kept your appointments on time. I was so pleased, that your firm was recommended by me to other possible customers. Thank you for your help. Yours truly, Mr. John Dugan Lindenhurst, NY |
| Dieters Hagen Chimney, LLC. P.O. Box 329 Franklin Square, NY 11010 Mike, I would like to personally thank you for the excellent work performed on my chimney. A thorough inspection was done, an exact estimate was given, helpful recommendations were provided, and the job was done when you said it would, on time, and in a neat and professional manner. The same people who inspected the chimney also did the work. Having a very old chimney, that needed extensive repairs, I had called several other companies for estimates. I was left confused, because the recommendations conflicted so widely I didn't know whom to believe. I was provided no information, and one company, after just an exterior visual inspection, told me to rip it down and build another chimney! I would not hesitate to recommend Dieters Hagen to someone. They are truly a professional Chimney company. Laura, the secretary at Dieters Hagen, also deserves a big thanks for being polite and courteous. Thank you, Kevin B. Walsh Massapequa, NY |
Dear Mike, |
Dieters Hagen Chimney Company P.O. Box 329 Franklin Square, N.Y. 11010 RE: Letter of Recommendation Dear Sirs: We wish to thank you for the work that your company performed on our heating system this past spring. After many other "specialists" had looked at our chimney we found ourselves confronted with conflicting repair recommendations, a wide range of estimates, and most disturbing of all, a lack of confidence that the work was professionally evaluated and would be completed to our satisfaction. Dieters Hagen personnel were quickly dispatched to our home and thoroughly examined our 50 year old chimney and heating system. Your supervisor, Mike, fully explained all of the work that needed to be done, and why the repairs were required. After explaining this to us, he provided his repair recommendations in writing, and then prepared a written quote to cover the cost of the repairs. Based upon his recommendations, and a quote that was fair and reasonable, we decided to go ahead with the work. We were pleased to see that the same person who made the repair recommendations returned to actually perform the work. Your supervisor, and assistant were both prompt, courteous, and efficient. The repairs to our heating system were completed on time, and to our satisfaction. Based upon their professional attitude and quality workmanship, we would gladly recommend Dieters Hagen to other home owners with heating system problems. Very truly yours, Mr. & Mrs. John O'Connor Syosset, N.Y. |
| Dieters Hagen Chimney Company P.O. Box 329 Franklin Square, N.Y. 11010 Mike, Edna and I want to thank you personally for the honest inspection, and professional way you performed the work on our chimney. We were especially impressed by the video tape showing what the inside of the chimney looked like. This proves to us that there are still service companies on Long Island that refuse to take advantage of homeowners. The quality of your work was outstanding, and completed on the day promised, and at reasonable cost compared to other estimates. Especially appreciated was the cleanup after the job was completed. You will be my chimney cleaning company for life. Thank you, Mr. & Mrs. Erwin Simon East Meadow, N.Y. P.S. The plant you sent was a very pleasant surprise, thank you very much. |
Dieters Hagen LLC P.O. Box 329 Franklin Square, N.Y. 11010 Dear Friends at Dieters Hagen, I want to thank you for everything you've done for me. As you know I was a victim of a "Chimney Magician botch job" and at wits end when you name was recommended to me as a fair and honest chimney company. From the first moment I called and spoke to Laura, I knew I made the right choice as she was polite and courteous and answered my seemingly endless barrage of questions. Without any promise of a sale she offered to send your truck to my house to check out the problem and give a professional opinion on the damages. Enter Dieters Hagen Chimney Company who did exactly that. Never once did they try to "sell" me your services. They were honest and forthright and I felt relieved to know that they were actually concerned that I had been scammed by that "other chimney company". Mike spent a great deal of time walking me through every step of the entire procedure, patiently answering my every question. When they returned a few weeks later to do the job, I was impressed with their expertise, professionalism and efficiency. Mike even helped me prepare my court case. I am writing now to inform you that I have won my court case against them. The 4th District Court of Nassau County has awarded me the full amount for which I sued, plus interest and filing fees. Please inform your supervisor, Mike, and thank him for me. My success was due, in no small part, to him. After all, he videotaped all the violations, explained everything I needed to know, and even came to court as my expert witness. I can truly say that I couldn't have done it without his help. You see, I found the judicial process to be a long and arduous one, and many times I felt like giving up. But thanks to the support I received from Mike, and others in your company, I never felt alone. If any of your customers want to hear a Chimney Magician horror story with a happy ending, feel free to give them my number, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending your company's services. Thanks again for everything. |
Dieters Hagen Chimney Company P.O.Box 329 Franklin Square, N.Y. 11010 Attn: Mike Dear Mike, How very appreciative my family is concerning all of your efforts, and concerning the timeliness of your installation of the carbon monoxide alarms in my home. Undaunted by preliminary findings by the fire department, you found a dangerous leak in our boiler, and stayed there until eventually Lilco fixed it. My family is ever grateful. Sincerely, Maxyne Berman Lang |
Dieters Hagen Chimney, LLC. Franklin Square, N.Y. Gentlemen: I would like to thank you for your excellent workmanship that was performed on my chimney. Your technicians were professional, courteous and trustworthy. In a trade that many customers have so many complaints, your company sets the standard for superior service! Indeed, a job well done! Again Thanks, Philip Fontanetta East Northport, N.Y. |
| Dieters Hagen Chimney Company P.O. Box 329 Franklin Square, N.Y. 11010 Gentlemen: I wish to express my complete satisfaction for a job superbly performed by Dieters Hagen Chimney Company on relining and capping my chimney last week. Not only did these two "PROFESSIONALS" explain and walk me through every detail of the operation, they also gave me very sound advice on several questions I posed to them. I felt completely relieved when the job was finished and felt assured that a possible dangerous condition has been fully corrected. The video Mike showed me left no doubt in my mind that my chimney lining was badly in need of replacement. These two young men have restored my faith in mankind and I would and will gladly recommend Dieters Hagen to any other potential customers. Sincerely, Jeanette McCauley Massapequa Park, N.Y. |
| Dieters Hagen LLC Franklin Square, N.Y. Dear Sir, Both my wife and I would like to thank you and your company for the courteous service and wonderful job done on our chimney/fireplace. Mike took the time to explain every phase of the entire job process. Not only was Mike very informative, but he also gave us advice on the use of our fireplace. Both representatives were very professional and courteous, and extremely neat. At the end of a work day, they completely cleaned up the working area and left absolutely no mess. In addition, the price quoted for the job, which took three days to complete, was very fair. I will strongly recommend your company to all of my friends and family. Thank you. Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. Ed Torres Greenlawn, N.Y. |
