Get matched with top chimney cap installers and replacers in Arma, KS

"Mr Cotton sent a person to measure roof before submitting a bid. It was not the lowest bid, nor the highest but I felt it would be the most accurate. Mr John Cotton provided e-mailed photos of various shingle colors applied to my home, which made it easy to choose. Direct observation (from a 2nd story window of work on a porch) of the crew's application process matched the process in the manufacturer's specifications. Since I did not see sealant delivered or used I was very concerned about the nail holes around the vents, etc. Mr Cotton personally climbed the roof and took pictures of the vent and satellite dish to show me the sealant applied to the nail holes, etc. The weather was cold when the roof was applied so I was also concerned about the shingles sealing down. Mr Cotton assured me if problems arose he would be back to fix them. It turned warm the next few days and the high winds since have not created any problems. The original estimate did not have the Senior Discount/Angie's List discount applied. This was negotiated into the contract after discussion by extending the labor warranty in preference to the discount."

"First day was about 5 hours then around 6 hours each day till finished. Tom was there about 30 minutes first day and <br /> G all day the final day. Good Job <br />"

"They did a really good job getting our fireplace back in really good shape."

"It took a few weeks before they could schedule the install. They said they would try to save the marble around the old fireplace so that we could reuse it, but they couldn't guarantee that they would be able to do this. They were unsuccessful and cracked several pieces, and since we couldn't match it, we needed to replace the marble on the floor surrounding the fireplace as well. We understood that this might happen and were not upset. Other than this, the fireplace install seemed to go fine and was completed in a day. We are still using the fireplace a year later. <br /> <br /> Immediately after the install, the heat pump on our furnace quit working. The installers couldn't figure out why it wouldn't come back on. Thankfully, iIt is a dual fuel unit with natural gas backup, so we still had heat. The technicians who came out to do the install did not include Victor, who had given us the quote, but he came out himself to check on the situation. He discovered that when the technicians pulled the thermostat wire through to move it, they did not switch off the power, and so short circuited the lines and blew out the compressor on the heat pump. <br /> <br /> Initially, the Fireplace Shoppe's take on this was that the compressor was old (which was true) and likely to have gone out soon anyway, so they didn't want to take responsibility for the blown compressor. Our take was that it would still be working fine if the technicians had taken the necessary steps. <br /> <br /> It took a couple of days, but eventually they did what we felt was the right thing and agreed to replace the compressor at their expense. We've been in since and have never been treated badly in any way. I would still recommend them and use them again, but I would want to make sure that they sent their most knowledgeable technicians if anything out of the ordinary was going to be asked of them."

"The first unit was delivered in a timely manner. However, the carrier did not adhere to the shippers warnings about product fragility and the unit was received in a damaged state. The unit was sent back to Classic Copperworks for repair.  The repair was treated as a priority by Mr. Threadgill, who had the unit shipped back to me in three weeks. It arrived in good condition that time. <br /> Mr Threadgill was very helpful in providing support in order to finish our project. He even had a caulking product sent to us in order to help with flashing the unit. That meant alot. <br /> I am not a professional contractor, but was able to install the unit myself with his support. However, my profession does provide me the opportunity to serve the public and as such, I feel that I am more than qualified in commenting on good service. While Classic Copperworks may not be the cheapest provider of goods and services, they stand behind their product and provide great support. It requiress a "leap of faith" to order an expensive unit from an out-of-state provider with no prior mutual history, but I can attest to my complete satisfaction. <br /> WRS <br /> <br />"

"I'm new to the area, relocated from California to Southwestern Missouri, so I did not know any good contractors. I have met and hired many contractors to rehab my fixer-upper home. Kevin is "hands down" the best contractor I've met. I would use him again and recommend him to others, without hesitation. Kevin showed up every day on time. His work area was so clean at the end of every work day that you could hardly tell he was at my home. He sent me pics of the updated work so I could see the progress, which I loved. He quoted a price and finished the work within budget. He clearly knows his trade and has experience estimating. He is a good collaborator. If I had ideas about how I wanted something to look or changes I wanted to make, he listened and gave feedback. He offered options and let me know why some of my ideas might not give the result I want or look right. Ultimately, he installed what I wanted how I wanted and even gave me ideas that I added to the scope of work. He removed an ugly, small retaining wall from each side of my basement entrance and replaced it with two beautiful retaining walls, with a French drain running along the high side. We ended up adding a few things to the original scope of work, including adding a lineal drain across the entrance landing and removing old poorly installed concrete slab with new concrete sloped away from the door to meet the new drain. Inside my basement he installed two brick walls. His rows are perfect. Everything is level and evenly spaced. In fact it's so perfect that I've had several people ask me if it's real! As for my retaining wall, if there's such a thing as a sexy retaining wall, I have one! I love it! Beautiful curve! With my I fireplace, hearth, and chimney, I had old brick from 1955 which is virtually impossible to match. Kevin helped me come up with ideas to make changes that complimented the mid century modern design of my home, without breaking my budget. He removed my old brick hearths that were improperly installed and framed in new hearths that would not be so heavy and would not need footings below the floor joists. He also installed brick and stone on my chimney to bring it up to code (at least 36" from a flammable surface). And installed the missing cap on my chimney. If I had the budget for it, I'd ask him to build me a firepit and two large piers on each side of my driveway entrance. Kevin is an artist. He takes pride in doing a job well. If you want the best, hire Kevin.OverallAPriceBQualityAResponsivenessAPunctualityAProfessionalismA"

"We wanted to make our home more energy efficient. We went to 3 other reputable fireplace showrooms in Joplin MO and my husband and I were so confused by the "industry slang" that was used to describe our different options that we almost backed out of making any improvements. Then we visited Hometown Fireplaces & Stoves. The young man that runs that store (Travis) was SO positive and helpful. He came to our home that day and gave us a FREE estimate, something his competitors tried to charge us for! He explained the entire process from start to finish. He spoke in terms that were easy to relate to and to understand. He won us over with his professionalism and knowledge, but I must also point out that he beat his competitors prices by $800! With the information he gave us we decided to go with a Pellet insert and we are SO happy with our choice. When our insert was installed 1 week later, our furniture was covered with clean tarps, our fragile decorations were put safely out of harms way, and we were even invited to watch the process with explanations! We were so blown away by the knowledge and care that these young men gave in their work that we had them do our stone mantle and hearth as well. All thru the entire process they cleaned up after themselves and when everything was done my living room had never looked better! Now that we have been using our pellet insert for two months, we have reduced our monthly electric bill by nearly two hundred dollars a month! We expect those savings to continue into the summer because now that our fireplace is updated, our cold central air wont escape thru the chimney! We will also get 30% of our expense back as a tax credit on our 2010 taxes for making this energy efficient change. Thank you Hometown Fireplaces!"

"They were a good roofer. They were excellent, we didn't have a roofing done but he was calm. He was referred by someone who we trusted. They were prompt and did everything right. We would call them again if we had to have a new roof. They did a fine job. They were fast and didn't take long to come out."

"They were punctual, cleaned up after themselves, did the job in a timely manner, and the price was fair."
