Four Seasons Chimney Services Patrick Fortney ripped us off. Read other online reviews too. (yelp, yellow pages, agnies list, etc....) Patrick Fortney is the owner and cannot be trusted. He does the "work".
Due to the current investigation and pending lawsuit we have been advised to not release all details online. With that said we strongly recommend you do NOT use this company. It is going to take us a lot of effort to recover our losses from 1 transaction with this company. It could be years before this is settled but we are committed to being made whole.
We will post the police report once received. For security reasons we will not reveal our names.
I called four seasons chimney services because I had a problem with water coming down the chimney into my fireplace. Patrick Fortney showed up next day where he swept the chimneies. He claimed that non of the chimneies (I have 5 fireplaces) have caps, something I could not verify. He quoted a price of $1809.00 to install 5 caps and replce 1 fire place gravel. He claims to have installed all caps the next day, something I could not verify as my chimneies are very high. A week later during a winter storm we had significant amount of water dripping from the chimney into the fire place, I made several attempts to contact Patrick Fortney, and left him several messages, but without response.
At this point I'm seriously considering a law suite against him, not just to recover the money but also to protect other people from him, as I saw reopts of others who have been victims of his
PATRICK FORTNEY ("OWNER") STOLE $253.00 DOLLARS FROM ME AND NOW I HAVE TO SUE TO GET MY MONEY BACK. HE ATTEMPTED TO CASH ANOTHER PERSON'S CHECK AND DISAPPEARED. THIS OTHER POOR CONSUMER REACHED OUT TO ME DUE TO MY POOR REVIEW OF HIS BUSINESS ON YELP. I WOULD NOT DOUBT THERE ARE OTHERS WHO HAVE A SIMILAR STORY. STAY AWAY!!!! Patrick Fortney (business owner of Four Seasons Chimney Services) seemed genuine and very polite while performing chimney sweeping on 6/27/2014. He indicated one of my fireplaces did not have a chimney cap and offered to install one the same day or early the following morning for an additional $235.00. After investigating prices for chimney caps, this was on the very high end although i had already paid in full to have Patrick install. I was ok to go ahead with the job anyhow. He never called me to schedule the installation that evening or the next day and never showed up as promised. When I eventually called him on the day he promised to perform the job (6/28/2014), he sounded irritated to have to do the job and said he also thought the chimney cap should actually be $340 instead of $235 which is absolutely incredibly overpriced. When I asked him to justify the price increase he said it was due to the size of chimney opening which was known the previous day. He said he would be at my house before 3:30 pm and would try to work with me on the price. No call, no show, no response to any texts. He actually cashed my check in the amount of $373.00 on 6/27/2014 prior to the follow-up appointment date (6/28/2014) and it unfortunately cleared for a job he never did despite my attempts to stop payment and afterward he had the audacity to ask for additional money since he assumed I did not realize my check had already been cashed in an attempt to further rob me. He still has not attempted to pay me back the money and would not respond to calls or texts until I began leaving him poor reviews on several consumer websites . I have already paid him (as seen in the itemized invoice) $138.00 for the chimney cleaning (which he fulfilled) and $235.00 for the chimney cap which he (admittedly) has made no attempt to install. The communications from him were that he was going to leave a money order in my mailbox (which he promised to do on three separate occasions and NEVER did even though I have been generous enough to even grant an extension of any sort. He claimed twice he did not have the money to pay me? OK, how about the money you already cashed of mine that I am trying to get back from you? Even if that is true, it’s pretty scary to think that this man “owns” this business and has ZERO CAPITAL (he admitted this to me via text). This is the final day I allowed him to pay (7/10/14) and no check. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. I am now in the process of suing him. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR – DO NOT PUT YOURSELF THROUGH THE FRUSTRATION OF WORKING WITH THIS GUY!!!! THIS ISSUE WAS NEVER RESOLVED. HE PROMISED TO PAY ME MY MONEY BACK ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND NEVER SHOWED UP. HE CAME UP WITH EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE EVERY DAY ABOUT NOT HAVING MY MONEY WHICH IS SCARY ANYWAY. I AM NOW FILING A LAWSUIT. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR- HIRE A MORE REPUTABLE COMPANY AND SAVE YOURSELF THE FRUSTRATION. HE WILL CLAIM THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED - DO NOT BE FOOLED - IT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THAT.
