"We’ll be using Superior Chimney again for our wood burning fireplace needs. We needed a mechanical cleaning. The team came out and was able to give a quote and complete the work in the same visit. They were friendly and polite, and the price undercut a previous quote we had received by $300."

"On Sunday morning we woke to find no heat in our home.  After examining our boiler and finding that its "blocked vent shut-off switch" had been activated, I called Chimney USA for emergency service to remove the blockage. I told them that I had seen squirrels entering the chimney cap earlier in the week and that the boiler and water heater vents smelled of burned leaves; I suspected the blockage might relate to the squirrel activity.
Mirna advised that they should be able to arrive before noon to perform the work.  Chimney USA (Mirna and Jacob) arrived at 11:45am and promptly got to work.  They disassembled the ductwork leading from the boiler to the chimney, swept out the flue and removed the squirrel nest, and reassembled the ducts afterward.  The old chimney cap was damaged/removed during this work, which I anticipated would happen, but was not replaced due to snow accumulation on the roof.  By 1:45pm the work (including cleanup) was complete, including a draft test and confirmation that the chimney was properly venting again.
The cost ($500) was acceptable but not inclusive of installation of a new chimney cap.  A new chimney cap will need to be installed at a later date, and I plan to hire Chimney USA to do that job as well.
I found Jacob and Mirna to both be very friendly and professional.  I appreciated their prompt response and attention to detail.   The job was done to my satisfaction, though I am eager for better weather to come so that they can install a new chimney cap to keep squirrels/debris from entering in the future.
Would happily recommend to friends and family.

"Service call went very well. Anthony D. and Brandon arrived promptly and were very courteous. I explained to Anthony what services were requested and discussed quote recd ( including discount) for services from office. Anthony assessed fireplace and explained what needed to be done and then he went up on roof. Anthony explained about issues with chimney stack and he shared pictures which were very helpful for me to see what needed to be done. I requested photos of before and after work done on chimney stack be sent to me, Anthony said they would be sent. I'm very pleased with Anthony's communication about recommendations for fireplace and chimney and for his work done on the chimney. I am very pleased with Brandon's work on the interior fireplace. I would highly recommend this company and team Anthony and Brandon!"

"Rob and his crew did a great job.. outside tuck pointing, crack repair, new damper, holes filled. Inside new mortar, smoke chamber fire proofed, new ceramic logs, silica, gas line. Showed us how to operate the new damper and light the fireplace. Perfect job."

"Jon and Mario were very professional and friendly. They explained a few things about my fireplace to watch out for and things I did not know. I would highly recommend them and will be using them in the future for all fireplace needs."

"I had an excellent experience with Defender Chimney and Fireplace! They did an amazing job repairing and restoring my brick fireplace. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the work that needed to be done. The craftsmanship was outstanding, and my fireplace looks better than ever. They were punctual, respectful of my home, and cleaned up thoroughly when the job was finished. I highly recommend Defender Chimney and Fireplace to anyone looking for quality work and exceptional customer service. Thank you for making my fireplace look beautiful again!"

"Fernando was great. Worth the $$ to have a fireplace that is safe and working properly. Took extra care of the surrounding area and worked with me on timing since the appointment was during the work day."

"Anthony was spectacular. We had Top Hat out to inspect our three gas fireplaces and our chimneys. After removing the vermiculite and spent ash from the bottom of the fireplaces to clean and inspect, Anthony identified that prior to our purchase of the house the fireplaces had been improperly converted from wood to gas. One fireplace did not have a fire box, one fire box had been improperly installed and the third was made from gerry rigged materials that were not fit for purpose. One of the the black pipe connections was made without pipe dope/sealant. One fireplace had a crimped supply line. One fireplace had a 12" bar for a 24" fireplace which was intended to be a starter for a wood fire, not to be used to run a continous gas fireplace. All three posed CO2 hazards. Anthony photographed everything for us, fully explained the issues and remedied all. He was polite, thorough and efficient and fairly priced. Highly recommend Anthony and Top Hat!"

"Cleaning and inspecting of wood burning stove. They were professional and informative."

"I had an old fireplace that I needed to cancel out. CHUY knew exactly what we needed to do without any unwanted damage to the wall and ceiling. He helped me get the right people to repair the roof and capped everything shut. The tuckpointing around the house was done exceptionally well and professionally. I recommend anyone looking to get the job done right, you can't go wrong with Chuys Tuckpointing and his crew. On time and suoer clean."
