Get matched with top chimney cap installers and replacers in Betterton, MD

"The company came out within a few days of my call. Mark T inspected and cleaned the chimney (which wasn't that dirty, as it turned out), and took pictures of the metal stack and the exterior of the fireplace stack. They recommended replacing the 4 refractory panels for approximately $1800. They pointed out warping on the metal stack, which he said might not be an immediate problem but would need to be addressed at some point as it would just continue to get worse. He also said that the chase cover at the top, exterior of the fireplace stack should be replaced. I got a second and third opinion. Both those providers said that the refractory panels are cosmetic only since the entire firebox is metal, and that the price would probably be about $400, not $1800. They also looked at the photos provided by Complete Chimney, and said that the 'warping' that Mark T pointed out was not warping...just normal coloration of the stack and not an issue. They said the chase cover was rusting, but not falling apart and was not any kind of safety hazard. while this company did the initial cleaning I requested, I feel like they were trying to push me to see problems where none existed in the hope that I would have them install a new gas fireplace."

"Recent high winds had loosened the vinyl wrap on the fascia board on the front of our house. The poorly-installed wrap was evidently the only thing holding the soffit vents in place, and 3 of them dropped to the ground below. I contacted Jessie at Antietam Roofing and got an estimate on the repair cost. Because of inclement weather, he said it would probably be 3 days before they could do the work. When I called him near the estimated day, he said they would be there as promised and that the crew would call when they were on their way. I got a call the morning of the repair to let me know they were on their way. Tony (head guy) and Michael (his assistant) arrived right on time. Tony described what caused the problem and what he suggested doing to keep it from happening again (i.e., nail the wrap to the sill and do it with more than 2 nails!). We agreed on the plan, and they immediately started to work. They were finished in about an hour. The repair looks great."

"It was a good experience from the start. The customer service representative who answered my call was pleasant, professional, and efficient. I was surprised to get an appt. within a few days of my call. Nick was the tech who responded. He explained everything step by step through his visit. He spent an hour looking over the entire unit rather than suggesting a "quick fix" like the previous repairman. I could have had my unit up an running for about $150, but I opted for the 24 point cleaning and maintenance package which increased the cost by about $200. We have lived in the house for 5 years, and the gas fireplace has been one of our favorite features. However, we didn't know it could look so good until Nick worked his magic. We will be signing up for the service contract which seems to be an especially good deal. This relatively small business seems to really have its act together."

"CLEANED THE CHIMNEY.  ARRIVED ON TIME, AND WENT RIGHT TO WORK.  REMOVED DRAFT, CLEANED AND RE-INSTALLED.  ALL THE WHILE, BEING VERY CAREFUL TO PROTECT SURROUNDING AREA.  FRED AND OSCAR WERE PROFESSIONAL AND POLITE AND DID A GREAT JOB."

"Staff was professional, knowledgeable, and did not push upgrades. We’ve used them multiple times since replacing our roof. "

"After a bad snow storm, a water stain formed on my 2nd floor ceiling.  I called Bafundo to check out what I thought was a roof leak.  I have a 25 yr old roof and I was expecting to be told it was time for a replacement.  The team did a thorough inspection of the attic and roof.  I was told the water stain formed from snow blowing into the attic.  My roof was fine and had a few more years of life than I expected!  They also advised of some siding which looked problematic.  I will be calling them back when it's time for a repair or replacement. <br />"

"They repair and stain both decks, they look a thousand % better."

"I didn?t end up using them. I was very pleased with them, but their price was too high. They seemed to be very competent and very qualified. They came out on time. The person, who came out, was very pleasant and courteous. I would have used them if their quote was not more than what I was willing to pay. I will consider them for a future quote."

"responsive to initial query, no pressure sales guy, just a quote, Install crew was polite and worked hard to complete the job in a single day. Cleaned up the area and when I had a question they responded the next day and corrected the small issue that had been over looked. Gutters and covers seem to work as advertised, I plan to hire them again for some additional work I need done on the exterior of the house, All in all a very good experience."

"I had a 50-year-old house with a cinderblock basement wall that had water slowly coming through. I researched the various firms that did waterproofing and had three highly rated firms come out for an estimate. The first contractor didn’t even bring a flashlight and just looked around and said to keep an eye on it. The second gentlemen did provide detailed estimate and carefully explained the problem. Randy, the owner, from Chamberlin Washington provided a similar diagnosis and estimate. His estimate was not only a little less expensive but he looked at the entire house and found other things that could use some maintenance. This is what I liked about Randy – he looked at the whole house and discovered several smaller things that should be fixed to avoid issues down the road. These were all things I knew about already but I’m glad someone took the time to examine the entire house and not just the one issue I was having. We had then not only waterproof the outside wall but also fill the expansion joints in our patio and seal one basement window as well as re-point some mortar joints in the brink chimney. When the crew came they went to work. They also did an admirable job protecting our plants. An old section of of a 6' high stockade fence had to be removed and I bough a new section and the crew was happy to put that up. When they water tested the wall they found a small leak. They re-did the sealant and that did the trick. Randy came out and supervised critical parts of the job. He was great to work with and happily fixed a few small things at the end. Randy really cares about doing the job right. I am 100% pleased with the work they did. I watched over much of the repair and everything was done correct and by the book. Overall I can't say enough about how pleased I was with Chamberlin-Washington and their work. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone."
