Get matched with top chimney cap installers and replacers in Blue Bell, PA

"I want to thank George for sending Anthony and his men to repair my house chimney and then bracing it to the foundation. These gentlemen were professional, courteous, and efficient; they also finished in a timely manner. Additionally, I want to thank George for taking the time explaining the details pertaining to this project. In closing, I would not hesitate to use the services of Platinum Pro Chimney should the need arise again."

"Pat and his crew were professional and reliable, and did great work. The side of my house had old repairs that were made incorrectly and there were areas of spalling brick and failing mortar joints. They removed all the bad work, replaced bricks that were too far gone, and repaired the pointing where necessary. While the scaffolding was up I also had them replace some molding at my roof line that had failed and had some rotten windowsills replaced."

"I would HIGHLY recommend Chimney Cricket. I thought the price quote was a bit high on the front end but when I actually saw how extensive the work was it was money well spent. Phil and Brooklyn showed up right on time, were very professional, worked for 8 hours straight with normal breaks and kept the area as clean as possible as they went. Phil told me he has been in this line of work since 1990 and it was obvious he knew his stuff. On the front end Peter and Ginger did a great job with the appointment setting and flexibility that was needed negotiating the contract. I had been using another fireplace company for 10 years who stopped returning calls. Glad I stumbled upon Chimney Cricket on Angie's List. All in all this company has my full endorsement."

"Tom and his team are great, they were professional, polite and neat. After the work was completed they cleaned up, now it looks like I have a new chimney. I would definitely recommend T&T Sweeps."

"Chris is always prompt, professional, and friendly. He helped us out of a really difficult situation last year with our chimney and this year, at our new house, completed a repoint and cap crown to help us firm up the roof. Would absolutely hire again. A pleasure to work with."

"I recently had the pleasure of engaging the services of Home and Hearth chimney and masonry co. For some chimney repairs, and I must say, I am incredibly impressed. Their expertise and professionalism have left me with nothing but praise for this outstanding chimney business. I won’t hesitate to call upon again in the future. Thank you!"

"I recently hired a chimney sweep for chimney rain cap installation, and I am extremely satisfied with their work. They expertly installed the rain cap, ensuring protection against water damage. Their professionalism and expertise in chimney rain cap installation were highly commendable."

"Did a really nice job and was very easy to deal with as well as responsive to all questions and concerns. Would hire him again"

I called for an estimate and made an appointment for 9:00 am on Saturday, Nov. 15.  John showed up about 8:15 with his 2 young workers who checked the chimney in the basement and then went on the roof.  The chimney had some missing bricks but other than that, needed nothing... the liner was in fine condition.  John told me they could do the job immediately for $785.  I said, how about $750 and he said ok.  They were there for about 40 minutes, re-cemented the missing bricks and put stucco all the way around the chimney. 

I made a check out to John Christman Chimney Repair but was told I had to make it out to him directly so I had to rip up the check and make out a new one. 

I really had only wanted an estimate since I had no idea if that was a fair price but felt I was caught off-guard and agreed to have him do the job.  After he left I decided that the price seemed very high for the amount of work that was done.  I tried to stop payment on the check but it was cashed IMMEDIATELY.  The next day I called a few other chimney repair places and they told me that the price seemed high for the amount of work that was done.

I suppose the lesson learned here is ALWAYS get at least 2-3 estimates before committing to having the work done.

"I purchased a special deal through Angieslist, $99 for chimney sweep and $200 dollar worth of masonry/Chimney repair. The crew arrived on time and were very polite. When I showed them the woodburning stove insert they both seemed confused by it, they said they weren't familiar with inserts and weren't really sure how it worked. They cleaned it out but were not able to look in the chimney because of the way it was set up. One of the gentleman told me its fine to use as long as smoke doesn't start to come in the house. Obviously. I was under the impression that people that bill themselves as chimney sweeps would be able to figure out how to check out the actual chimney.
Our house has another chimney in the rear that is not in use. There are gaps in the brick where the mortar has fallen out. I figured I'd use the $200 credit towards having them pointed. The gentleman went up on the roof and inspected the chimney. He said the chimney needed to be capped, rain was getting in and that was causing the erosion. Makes sense, during my home inspection the previous year we were told to have it done somewhere down the line. He said he would cap the chimney and seal the concrete around the chimney on the roof for an additional $200. He said there was no need to point the brickwork once the chimney is capped. The guys went on the roof for maybe 15 minutes and installed the cap and I guess seal something or other. I don't have a 40' ladder to get on the roof and actually see what they did but it couldn't have been much as they were only up there a few minutes and I didn't see them carry up any concrete. I suspect they probably used mortar sealant caulk which is fine but doesn't really equate to the price charged. My main gripe is that I paid $500 (99, 200 credit, 200 at time of service) for them to vacuum my fireplace insert and install a cap (found on home depot.com for $80) on the chimney. I get the feeling that when you buy this $99 deal they not really honoring the $200 credit. I'm no expert on this sort of thing but I don't think the work that was performed was anywhere near $500 worth. I also got the feeling they were in a bit of a hurry and that's part of the reason they didn't want to do the pointing work.
