"From the initial conversation to the final paperwork Ryan was very professional, knowledgeable and took the time to educate us on our stove. I would recommend Smoked Out Chimney to anyone if you want to feel comfortable with the company you hired. I will rehire Them next year and every year after."

"Although we had no experience in the process of selecting and purchasing granite, Pacific Stone and Tile were pretty solid in their guidance, measurement and eventual installation process. Certain aspects of the project like determining if a backsplash is desired, what type of edge would look good and most importantly the selection of the specific stone are tricky but PS&T were very helpful and their sales contact Sal provided great insight into the options on both an aesthetic and practical level.
Some practical things we never considered (i.e. don't add a backsplash if you intend to tile above as the transition is clumsy looking) and the edging and corner transitions were presented and discussed to our satisfaction and a really nice result.
A couple of very important things to consider... this company is headquartered in Massachusetts and IMHO it is ESSENTIAL to see the stone in person to ensure your selection is consistent with your preferences and expectations. We live in NW Connecticut so it was a 90 minute drive, but so glad we made the trip. They have the whole slab there and Sal walked us thru the yard and pointed out the unique nature of certain lots and had a piece of wood which matched our cabinets to support our selection. You can also see the edge options and corner cut options so I'd strongly encourage a visit to their showroom.
The workmanship is excellent, the interaction as we moved thru the process of stone selection, measuring and subsequent installation was also pretty good. I'd give them an 'A' overall and would certainly suggest the company to others.

"Jose Rodriguez was a basic carpenter. He used up 1/2 hour purchasing materials and I had to go with him to pay for them rather than reimburse him for the items. He had to pay him for the rest of the work which ended up costing over $300 for basic work that any handyman could have done. He left the wooden beam support with bracing and could not return until two days later and I was concerned that my large dog might get injured if she moved this. He left a heavy 2 foot 4x4 in my basement near the air conditioner; he also left the rotted roof support beam on my property which I had to dispose of. I kept the unused and cut wood that was purchased as I could cut it and re-use it elsewhere. I recently hired a real carpenter for replacement of my shed doors and he was a true skilled professional who came to my house and measured the wood needed and hardware and purchased the materials and had an assistant to help him do the work which was an excellent job. Quite a difference. Had I known I would have hired him to do the other work done previously and the cost for his work was at a much better price than the Angie's List "pro". No more Angie's List pros for me. Wherever do you find them and how do they get an A rating?"

"They were very courteous. I had to ask them to clean the stove. In the past, that has always automatically been included when I've had this service."

"It went great. I have a pellet stove, it has never been cleaned like this. They put a bag over the bottom of the stove liner, 1 tec on the roof, 1 tec inside. When finished I saw all the soot in the bag, WOW. They put the stove back together, cleaned up and explained everything they did. They were very friendly and pleasant to talk with. Today I started my stove and stared right up. I highly recommend them and would hire them again."

"C&C Masonry and Chimneys is extremely responsive, proactive, timely and professional. On the day of my appointment, they called ahead of time to let me know they would be a little late due to some nasty weather. Small and refrshing gesture! While here they performed a thorough inspection of my fireplace and did not try and sell me additional services. They even proactively provided their license and insurance information for my records. It's hard to find honest and responsive folks. Save yourself the trouble and call them first."

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.
