"Very well, it was a complicated installation with the existing fireplace having to be cut out with a torch and with both natural gas and electric lines run to the fireplace. Everything got done on time and looks exactly as advertised despite the additional subcontractors required to do the job."

"Aaron was great. He was polite, friendly and quite knowledgeable. He made sure to get the correct parts so everything fit together properly. He stayed until the job was completed. Then he patiently took the time to go over the operation of the new thermostat with us until we understood exactly how it worked."

"I am currently in the process of buying my first home and JJ Inspection Service made the process extremely simple. I needed the inspection done within a very short time frame (shorter than the standard ten day inspection period). Justin was able to get me a slot within my window despite already being busy and did a great job. He invited me to tag along on the inspection (not just come afterwards and get the summary report). I took him up on the invitation and I am glad I did. He walked me through the process of what type of issues he is looking for and why and also recommended ways to correct the problem and provided needed information for maintenance. One area of concern I had in my house is the skylight in the kitchen. I had noticed before that it looked like it had water spots on the decorative wood paneling around it. He did tell me they are notorious for leaking. I got pretty nervous at this point but soon had my anxiety put to rest. Justin used a moisture detector to check the various surfaces of the skylight and quickly determined that the water spots were from a past leak that had already been fixed. He also recommended a furnace cleaning/service because the furnace wasn't quite up to what he would like to see even though it could have been easily overlooked because it wasn't a large issue. Justin also made the report available online through an email link that doesn't expire (very handy) and told me not to hesitate to call with any questions or concerns. Overall Justin was great, very informative and easy to talk to. He made what has already been a great first home-buying experience even better! Thank you Justin!"

"Before making bid, inspected roof and pointed out damage to chimney. Took pictures of chimney so I didn't have to climb roof. Bid included what materials they would use, what services they would provide, and samples of the roofing and colors. The house has two dormers in front, and other odd angles and pitch. The owner came all 2 1/2 days it took to finish the job. Used 5 workmen who were pleasant, professional, very good at their jobs. And cleaned up each day. I was very pleased with the finished product. I go 4 bids, Greene's price was comparable to the others and they provided more services than the others. I highly recommend them.

"I had just had my house broken into and a window needed to be boarded up. After trying to contact a couple difference companies, Cady Handyman was so nice and accomodating and able to help me within hours. They were very considerate, did a great job, and helped me out when I really needed it.

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.
