Get matched with top chimney cap installers and replacers in Cologne, MN

"Overall, this project went well. Initially after I accepted their bid, they suggested that they may not be able to perform the work until 2-3 months later. However, since this work was not that extensive, they were able to move it up earlier within their schedule. The technicians called in advance of the arriving and were able to complete the work over two days. The cleanup was satisfactory. The technicians offered the additional advice that longer term the chimney could use a rebuild."

"Blue Sky was prompt, professional and worked hard at repairing the exterior of our chimney. Owner Dave also helped convince our insurance carrier that the damage to the interior flue was caused by a small chimney fire; our carrier agreed with his findings and reimbursed us for the estimated cost of repair."

"The estimator was one of the only people who inspected the flat roof section. The estimate came quickly and was reasonably priced. However, I had some concerns about what work was actually covered by the estimate and what exactly the warranty would cover."

"Replacing a roof and gutters is a major project and finding the right roofing company was very important to me. I met with a number of different companies and finally decided on CHI (Craftsman Home Improvement). They didn’t just come look at the roof and send me a proposal instead they came looked at the roof and spent over an hour with me explaining the process working with me on how to improve the gutters so the flow would be better for my property. This did not mean more expensive gutters just a Different installation from previous. Once I contracted with them the project manger reached out to set up a start date. The team that came out to do the job was both professional and efficient. They did a great job. I would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a new roof. They also coordinated with the team doing some chimney repairs on my house which was extremely helpful to me."

"Lindus Construction is the best. They installed new roofing and Leafguard gutters to repair damage to our house caused by a hailstorm. The totally new roof was installed in just one day. Replacement Leafguard gutters were installed over several hours on a second day. Materials and workmanship were excellent while Lindus’ workers, supervisors and sales representative were all friendly, knowledgeable and willing to answer any and all of our questions. What really makes Lindus a standout company is how they responded to and fixed a roof rainwater leak that developed after their work on our roof – and the leak turned out to have been caused by another company who had been repairing our chimney at about the same time. Lindus’ employees immediately came to our house to inspect the area where water entered and, because it was wintertime, made plans to fix the problem as soon as it was practicable. It took several attempts to fix the problem permanently but throughout the process Lindus’ employees never doubted us and cheerfully responded promptly. After they tracked the source of the leak to chimney flashing that was incorrectly installed, Lindus’ employees didn’t hesitate to fix the leak anyway and at no charge to us. To make sure we were satisfied and knew that the rainwater leak had been fixed, they invested many hours in finding and fixing a problem that was not their responsibility. That is a company I will trust, employ in the future and recommend to anyone."

"Dave called ahead to let me know he was on the way, and arrived on time. He removed his shoes when coming into the house. A squirrel had entered our home though a hole it had made in the patching compound where the flue enters the chimney. Dave was prepared for a potential animal removal situation, and took every precaution to make sure we were not going to have an animal getting into our house. He check several places where the squirrel could have been hiding, but it appeared the critter had check out before he showed up. Dave cleaned some debris out out of the furnace flue, and even unclogged our condensation drip tube (don't know what to call it). I had to leave in the middle of the job, and he explained what he was going to do when I was gone. When I arrived back at the house he had completed the job within the time frame he had projected. He installed a stainless steel cap on our chimney, and patched the hole the squirrel had made. When I checked out the work in our basement I was impressed, and he even cleaned up the area where the squirrel had made a mess. The price was more than fair considering the professional work that was done. Dave was very thorough, friendly, and did an excellent job all around. Wow! These are the people you want to work on your chimney. We heard some noises a week later, and I called Dave back to see if he needed to come back out. He explained it was likely the squirrel trying to get back in, and the sound was echoing down the furnace flue. It appears that was the case. He offered to stop by, and check it out to make sure. I explained I was satisfied with that answer, and would just check on it once in a while. So far no other problems."

"The footprint of the roof, including the overhang is about 2200 ft ^2. There was a window well cover damaged during the roof removal process. This was underneath the drop tarp placed around the entire house and garage. Someone may have walked on it without realizing it was there. This was old and I am planning on replacing it. The contractor provided the plywood at no cost to me and he did leave some OSI caulk with me in case I find anything that needs to be patched. I have not found anything as of now. The remote irrigation system water sensor attached to the old gutter disappeared. The contractor did order a new one and will personally install it. <br /> The roof replacement was completed in one day. The rest of the job took a little longer. The project did fall behind by one day  day because of rain. <br /> A final inspection was conducted by both myself and the contractor. Aside from the little things that occured (I'm patient,) I found <br /> that one of the 3 exterior doors needs to have trim placed on the jam. The contractor will install this when the senor arrives. The cleanup job was well done; The crew even ran magnets over the grass and driveway to pickup any nails. I was even able to place of the trash from what I removed around the house - including old roof shingles inside of the garage - inside of the dumpster. <br /> All in all, I'm very pleased with the outcome. I do trust that Everlasting Exteriors will stand behind their craftsmanship and will fix anything that I may find wrong. I would not hesitate to recommend Everlasting as a roofing contractor. <br />"

"The inspector was professional and provided excellent feedback on the original construction, quality of materials and the current condition.  He came in with drop cloths and did the visual inspection.   He setup his equipment and completed the video work.  After reviewing the video recordings, he provided his analysis.  As it turned out, the fireplaces and chimney stack were in excellent condition and built very well.  No repair issues or concerns to discuss.  He was very knowledgeable about fireplaces and related topics.  No cleaning was required.  He left no evidence of his visit (debris or smudges).  This home was a recent purchase and we needed to know if the fireplaces are safe to use. <br />"

"Easy breezy. They came out and finished within two days and came back the following week with the inspector. <br />"

"The work went very well. The insert and chimney pipe was installed in approximately 6 hours from the time the workers arrived until the job was complete. They were punctual and professional*. The only complaint on the job was the electricians that ran the power to the fire box did not clean up completely**(see below) after there work was complete but this was a minor point in the overall installation process. <br /> I highly recommend Woodland Stoves and Fireplaces. <br /> The main reason we installed the insert was the tile liner in our chimney was badly damaged. In order to have a fire our options were to replace the Chimney, re-line the chimney or install an insert. We chose the insert because it was less expensive than re-lining the chimney and included a very energy effecient wood burning insert. <br /> This is the second winter with the insert. The insert works great, the furnace does not run when when we have a fire, saving money and the wood fire does not it does not over heat the house. The insert is located in a room 15' x 24'. <br /> Besides the benefit of effecient heat the cracked tile in the old chimney lead to a very strong smokey smell on humid days in the spring, summer, fall. That smell is gone! When the insert is installed the chimney is 'sealed' off from the living area with insulation so eliminating the flow of air through the chimney into the house. <br /> Woodland Stove did a good job of recommending the best inserts for our home. They ask detailed questions about the room it will be in, the size of the house, and why we wanted an insert. They ended up recomending a selection of gas and wood burning inserts. We chose the VC Montpelier because if fit was the best fit for our home and we wanted to burn wood. <br /> They have been very supportive of the product through both email and phone calls when there were questions. <br /> Again, I highly recommend Woodland Stoves and Fireplaces. <br /> *Woodland uses their own own National Fireplace Institute certified employees for installing the insert/stove and chimney pipe. They also have a master gas fitter if installing a gas insert. <br /> **Overall Installation - Our house is over 100 years old and the electricians had to drill through close to 2' of brick and mortar to reach the firebox. I think it took a little longer than expected. This was a very good thing because the first company we talked to about an insert said the wiring for a wood insert could not be in the firebox, i.e. they would run a wire from the insert to a wall plug. This would have been less expensive but would have looked very tacky so overall very happy with the installation. <br /> ==and gt;and gt;Woodland is very familiar with all the codes and worked with us to make sure we were happy with the installation. <br />"
