Peak chimney llc

My wife and I hired Jason approximately two years ago to repoint our chimney and replace some bricks that he assessed as problematic before adding a screen porch onto our house (the chimney runs through the porch). This is not an inexpensive job. We also brought Jason back to add new lead flashing to the chimney when the porch was being built. After the screen porch was added, we noticed several leaks in the porch roof coming from the chimney area. We originally thought the leaks were due to a step-flashing issue. The contractor who built the porch was extremely responsive and assessed the roof and step-flashing and was unable to determine a leak due to a roofing issue. As the screen porch made it easier to access the upper part of the chimney, I went up on the roof and it was evident that Jason missed repointing several joints and despite sealing the chimney we had moss growing out of many joints. We subsequently noticed the roof on the older part of our house was failing and we ended up doing an entire roof replacement. Before the new roof, we had Jason come back out to fix some of the joints he missed. He was extremely difficult to get in touch with. We had to get in touch with him through the contractor who built the screen porch. He promised to come back and seal those joints which he never did. After the new roof, new ice and water, and new step-flashing around the chimney, we still had the leaks. The new roofer ran several hose tests and determined we had a problem with the chimney. After reinspecting, it was obvious that many joints still lacked sufficient mortar repair. We have kept Jason informed throughout the process, but he never returns our e-mails and is completely unresponsive. I spent hours on the roof myself sealing joints, adding mortar, and then resealing the entire chimney. The chimney has not leaked again since my work. Here are Jason’s own written words that he has not honored, “Yes I garuntee (sic) all my work with a ten year warranty. And again the estimate is as if I were approaching my own home so the idea is you don’t need to worry about your chimney again other than cleaning the flues.” In short, we trusted Jason with an expensive job and when we had an issue, he was entirely unresponsive. We even gave Jason an opportunity to respond to this review before posting. He did not respond. We are giving Jason three stars to be fair as we believe he did a relatively good job on the lower portion of our chimney. Moreover, our situation seemed to be a difficult situation to assess. However, our experience is that Jason will not respond if you have an issue, and the upper portion of our chimney was poorly done. Additionally, as the expert, it was Jason’s job to properly assess our chimney. We should not have had to do any of the work ourselves (or paid for additional materials), and Jason should have given the same level of detail to the upper third of our chimney as the lower third. It is worth noting that Jason was very good at communicating when he was bidding the job and throughout the job. If you hire Jason and have a problem with his work, you should likely not expect a response or remedy from him.

It went great. Jason came and reviewed and gave us a quote for two different options. We went with the cheaper option and then he came and did the work. He was quick, and the work was completed without a hitch, for exactly what he quoted us for a price. I would definitely hire him again or recommend him to anyone who needs chimney work!

Jason is a true professional,and takes pride in his work. We have a stone chimney that was once very beautiful but was in desperate need of repair. This chimney is on a flat roof, we have a new Duralast rubber roof system over it, it is a fairly new product. Jason really did his homework on this roof system, he spoke to Duralast professionals to get a thorough understanding of this product and was very careful not to void our warranty. Jason repointed the chimney, added new lead flashing, a new chimney cap, and waterproofing. I am happy to say the Chimney looks beautiful once again and is completely water proof. Jason's pricing was very fair and I was very impressed with his work. I highly recommend Peak Chimney.

Jason was great super friendly answered all of my questions. Even my dogs loved him. Thanks again

Jason's attention to detail is second to none. I was more than impressed by how carefully he matched his repairs with the look of the rest of the old brick work on our house. You'd never know by looking at it that the work was just done. Perfection! We're doing a period restoration of our 1850's house and I'm a stickler for getting the details right. Jason exceeded my hopes on how well I wanted the job to turn out. He also explained that while even though some areas I thought seemed sound, they actually weren't. He showed me how he arrived at that determination and made suggestions for additional repairs but was never pushy about it. Thank you for that!! We will definitely have him back to put caps over our chimneys. This was suggested by someone else and then again by Jason. Difference is that Jason explained options to me that the other guy didn't. Jason understands our goal of authenticity and came up with a plan that will work in this situation. Regarding cost: I expected to be paying about double for workmanship and professionalism like that. Just amazed that we've found him. You will not be disappointed at all if you hire him.

It was excellent! He was very efficient, very passionate about the work and he started and finished in a reasonable amount of time.

One day and the work was done wonderfully on our chimney!

Service was great. Jay is knowledgeable, experienced, pleasant and professional. Would highly recommend to anyone.
