"Prompt response and job was finished on a warmer fall morning. Price was very fair. Also came back on request a month later on request to examine animal damage to fireplace cap. The cap was upgraded to stainless steel at no extra charge to me. I was very pleased."

"They estimated the tear off and replacement of 8 pieces of sheathing of my mom's lower roof. When they removed shingles they discovered more wood was damaged than originally estimated which they told me could happen. They called me to tell me this as they were bringing the extra sheets needed which I okayed. he told me they would take photos of the damaged areas and provide than to me. I never rec'd the photos. After the job was finished they did a good clean up and removed the dumpster the next day fro my mom's driveway. I went and inspected the roof a few days later on the weekend when I could see it in the light of day. I discovered some questionable workmanship and called and talked to Dan about what I found that I thought wasn't quite right. He came over the next day and inspected the job his workers did and discovered some items he didn't like either. He spend part of the next 2 days making the repairs to his standards. They never asked about payment when they were done which did impress me. They charged a reasonable fee for the extra wood that was needed. Much less than other roofers estimated per sheet.They also included the most replacement wood in their quote. I would hire them again."

"They did a good job. I have an electric fireplace."
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.
