"Chimney Works & Rocky Mountain Stoves comes through again. They installed a wood burning insert in my house years ago and loved it. Have them come out yearly to inspect and sweep. They are always courteous on time and keep things clean. Thanks Jeremy Woods for the awesome job once again!"

"I have mixed feelings about this company. I picked Hatton because they had the best price and accepted credit cards. I was a bit skeptical of the price since it was so much lower than everyone else I called, but that is the main reason I picked them. I got my quote over the phone and followed up with an email to confirm the price, but I never received a response from the email (this is why 4 stars for customer service). I was happy with the appointment scheduling, I was able to get a convenient time for me the same week I called. Other companies were scheduling out a couple of weeks. However, after their visit, I wished I had hired a certified chimney sweep instead of trying to save money. I can't say they didn't know what they were doing, but I can't say they did. My "feeling" is that a couple of guys bought a shop vac and a wire brush tool and went into business.Perhaps this is how everyone does it though because I have only had my fireplace cleaned one other time by one of the other companies and it was a long time ago. I do remember my feeling at that time is that the other company was very honest and professional. I didn't get the same warm and fuzzy from Hatton. I would have scheduled the original company again, but it took several weeks to get an appointment (worth the wait) and the price was about $50 higher (you get what you pay for?), but mainly because they didn't take credit cards (I like to earn points whenever I can). Finally, I felt the owner, Dan, and his assistant could have been a bit more friendly/personable/verbal. There was very little said which made it a bit awkward. The assistant didn't say one word which was kinda creepy. Dan did give an honest recommendation on how often we should have the fireplace cleaned. He said with our occasional use we wouldn't need it annually. I appreciated that input. All in all, if you're looking for an inexpensive chimney sweep and don't care about certifications, go for it. The fast, cheap service is something many people would appreciate."

"Excellent work from start to finish. My father was a mason, so I know great work when I see it. First, they brought in a tear-down team to remove the chimney down to the first-floor roof level of our two-story house. After which, they rebuilt the chimney to original height installing approximately 900 new bricks using a new Type N mortar. They installed a new 5" thick concrete crown with a 2" drip edge and an expansion joint. They replaced all accessible sections of fireplace clay flue tile extending 4" - 6" above the concrete crown. Installed new stainless steel chimney cap. Installed 2 sets of new step and counter flashing. Installed 2 sets of new ice water shields and shingles as needed. Cleaned and weather sealed chimney entirely upon completion. After the chimney rebuild was done, the Mason, Seth, and his crew cleaned the work site, to include the whole driveway. They are a very efficient and thorough team. I understand that they like to leave the customer's house and yard as clean or better than they find it."

"Justin was hire to inspect the chimney. Which he did with his tablet and cámara. I was able to see the condition of the chimney and the work it needed. I explained to Justin that I would like for the job to be completed in three stages. He gave an estimate and prioritized the jobs. He completed the after he swept the chimney. They cleaned up the fireplace and the area rug very nicely. The estimate was very reasonable."

"Were honest about determining our chimneys were clean and did not need swept ... Installed our chimney caps as requested and did some extra repair in the chimney tops for cash. Inspected both fireplaces and quoted some prices for repairing both, with most being new mortar or caulking on some deteriorated brick joints."

"I've been having work done with Professional Appliance Solutions for 15 years. They have done all of my appliances in my kitchen and my washer and dryer. There isn't another company I would recommend. These guys are the best around. Very professional workmanship, they actually care about their customers and the final product. Highly recommend!"

I've been doing this work for years just looking for a little more small jobs
Start with a professional inspection. If damage is limited to a few bricks or the crown, a targeted repair helps keep costs and disruption to a minimum. Severe leaning, widespread mortar failure, or major fire damage usually signals it’s time for a complete teardown and rebuild. Your contractor will outline both price tags, but remember that rebuilding a failing stack is often cheaper than repeated patch jobs and the water leaks or fire hazards they allow.
Cracks provide water with an easy path into the masonry, weakening the bricks and mortar and increasing the risk of collapse or fire. Gaps can also let hot gases and sparks escape into attic spaces. Call a chimney pro as soon as you see cracking so they can seal small joints or recommend a larger rebuild before minor damage turns into a costly emergency.
Smoke rolling back into the room often indicates a blocked flue, a broken damper, or a drafting issue. Have a sweep inspect the damper, flue liner, and any obstructions right away. Most fixes involve clearing debris, repairing the liner, or adjusting the damper so the fireplace pulls air correctly. Don’t light another fire until a professional pinpoints the cause and confirms your system is venting safely.
Most policies cover chimney repairs caused by a sudden, covered event, such as lightning, a fallen tree, or a house fire. They won’t cover damage that stems from neglected maintenance or everyday wear. Review your policy or contact your agent before scheduling work to determine what documentation your insurer requires and what costs you will be responsible for.
Component life spans vary. Clay tile or cast-in-place liners last close to 50 years, while stainless-steel liners last 15 to 20 years. Mortar requires attention every 25 to 30 years, while crowns last 50 to 75 years. Use these numbers as a maintenance roadmap: schedule regular inspections, budget for future upgrades, and replace parts before age-related cracks develop into more significant problems.
