"We’re extremely pleased with the excellent service provided by the team which started the moment we walked into the door for the first time. Many thanks to project manager Andrew who recommended the crystal sapphire quartzite for our kitchen, after we encountered an issue with a previous selection. Marco with quality control and Kerlyn the installer were responsive and ensured a quality job was performed."

"Well done. We have used Baker's for many jobs over the years. They do well on HVAC and routine electrical jobs, but not on complicated or high level electrical jobs."

"That was not a happy experience. They were very hard to reach. They contacted me and ask me when they would come and take advantage of the deal. I emailed them back, they didn’t respond. I emailed them again and I emailed them again. The third time I emailed them, I said, if I don’t hear from you within 24 hours, I’m going to cancel through Angie’s List. Somebody called and left a message. I called the next morning and the phone was disconnected. I had somebody else on the phone, he said I was crazy to think the phone was disconnected because it wasn’t but it was. Somebody called me and they arrange to come. The finally did come. They did what they were supposed to do on the chimney but we had an inspector come in because we are selling the house. They missed something important that I have to fix. They apparently didn’t do the job of doing the crown which I paid extra for. I’m going to have to pay another chimney service to do that. I am happy with them at all. They said I need to replace a dent and they did ask $400 more and they supposedly fixed the crown of the chimney for another $125 but it turned out that they did not do such a good job on that. The crown wasn’t good. I expected them to find extra things to do but I expect them to do them right."

" We have a wood fireplace that has 3 individual sides. I ordered the 3 pieces from a dealer (manufacturer went out of business). They sent 3 pieces that didn't quite fit right and A1 chimney fixed it perfectly. There was a bit more involved but I don't remember the details. Great job and we will continue using them.

"F Stone Design - Fernando has successfully completed two jobs for me. One in stone (wall) and the other in brick (Front entrance repair). Both jobs were extremely well done. Not only was the final product first rate, the work was completed on time with minimal disruption. Cleanup was meticulous. Overall a great job and customer experience."
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.
