"Super nice, professional and fast. Hired him to put together a large 6 burner grill. Came one day and found that the grill was damaged. He did not charge us for his time; we ordered a new one and he came back 2 weeks later and completed the job"

"Luan was fantastic! Professional and reliable. We had siding installed and needed some repairs to termite damaged wood. Luan knows his stuff, explained everything, and he took the time to get the job done right. I would definitely refer him, as well as hire him again!!"

Customers say: Terrific value
"Paul (the owner) was very helpful in inspecting a wood stove in our house to make sure of its proper operation. He also identified that our chimney pipe was too short from a code and proper airflow perspective. Because this was an unexpected repair, he was very transparent and showed me both pictures of the chimney on the roof, town building code documents, as well as looked up pricing with me for the components on a number of 3rd party sites so we were totally aligned on final price for the fix. He also made some last adjustments I requested (while it was raining!) Would recommend his services to anyone and look forward to using him again."

"Anthony and his team stopped by to give me an estimate on removing a 6" flex pipe that had been installed in the chimney pipe to vent a wood stove. They climbed the roof, inspected the chimney and determined the flex pipe did not run the length of the two story chimney but was about 6-8' in length. They removed it and also took care of its disposal. And the cost was absurdly reasonable - dinner for two would have cost more. Can’t say enough good things about World Class Maintenance Inc. - these guys are the best!"

"Best Choice did a wonderful job from start to finish. They were courteous, arrived and finished on time, and left the work area clean. We were consulted as the job progressed and are happy with the finished work which was replacing damaged soffit wood, several rows of roofing shingles and replacing a non functioning gutter."

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.
