Seacoast Chimney Corporation

Bradley Yates of Seacoast Chimney was contracted to repair my fireplace chimney by removing an existing flue liner and installing a stainless steel liner. From day 1 this job was a nightmare. Problems with workmanship were numerous. They failed to seal up the house causing tremendous dust. An initial attempt was made to make the liner fit the chimney flue and as a result the liner that was installed has many dings and creases in it which is a creosote trap. I was informed the job was complete and a fire could be started. After I inspected the work it was clear that the liner installation was not complete. The liner was not properly sealed. The bricks in the firebox box area were not reinstalled which most likely would have violated fire code. The parging in the firebox was not accomplished which would have resulted in significant creosote buildup and damage to the exterior bricks. The masonry repairs on the outside of the chimney were done with partial bricks and looked awful and the final product after fixes has a noticeable bow in it. The steel liner was not parged prior to sealing the hole on the outside which made it obviously difficult to get a good parge job that high up in the chamber. I questioned this before the hole was closed on the outside but was told it would be done after. As a result it looks exceptionally sloppy with very rough edges. The parging on the inside of the fire chamber box was not completed. There were exposed bricks, insulation and gaps where brick was removed and where the steel damper was removed. If I had that inspected I am unsure it would pass any type of fire code. The top of the chimney was damaged and not repaired. Repointing of the chimney which was contracted was never completed. The flue damper installed on top of the chimney was never sealed or even bolted down. After lighting a fire my house smoked out several times. A review determined that the liner was too small for the chimney. They wanted about 13000 to do this job and I gave a 3840 dollar deposit. They agreed to refund my deposit dollars and even stated the check was in the mail but that nver happened. Instead they sent me a bill to pay them more money for removing the flue. These people are a joke and have no clue how to do masonary work or properly line a chimney. Stay away from anything they do. If you want to see photos go to Google or yelp review I made.

They came in did all the protocol for covid19 and everything looks brand-new. They were really quick.

I recommend Seacoast Chimney Corporation to everyone I know! They were timely and very efficient with booking and scheduling me for my work to be done. I received two brand new chimney caps, and repointing on both of my chimneys. The work they have done is amazing to say the least!!! NO more leaks from my chimney & my chimney looks brand new with the siding I just got done!!! THANK YOU so much Seacoast Chimney Corporation!!!!
