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

"So Nir and Alexander just left my property. They installed two new Chimney Chases. My entire experience with Chimney Sweep Clean has been absolutely marvelous. Initially when I found Nir on a recommendation by a friend, he answered politely and was at my property the next day. A fair estimate was given and I had to wait two weeks for the custom made chases. Remarkably the Chases were made in only a week, he called me and was there the next day and they were installed. Amazing!!! The cleanliness and professionalism with which Nir runs his business is really remarkable. The new custom made chases look great. As well during the installation process he took pictures step by step so he could explain it to me. You just don't find companies who operate like this much anymore. I would wholeheartedly recommend Nir and Alexander from Chimney Sweep Clean for any chimney problem you may have. If I could give them 10 stars I would!!"

"We scheduled 2 Hats Chimneys for November 18.  Dave was prompt and professional.  We were very pleased with Dave's knowledge and he inspected the chimney and resolved our immediate concerns.  The work was completed the same day and Dave advised that we would want to consider two additional improvements for the chimney at some future date.  We will definitely call on Dave in the future for any chimney concerns."

"Capitol came out on time, and a nice gentleman named Abraham and a helper came out to give an estimate for the work. He spent about 45 minutes looking around, and to my surprise, issued a bid on the spot. The bid was reasonable and actually included a full rebuild of one chimney from scratch, including building a firebox. I was really tempted because the two other bids I received wanted to sell me a prebuilt firebox at considerable cost (almost nobody hand-builds fireboxes anymore, it seems), and I liked the idea of getting a brand new chimney as I had lots of brick damage from years of thermal cycling. However, the risk is much higher in buying this type of work because your chimney performance is completely tied to the company's ability to properly design a replacement chimney and build it properly in all its details. So, I asked for a portfolio to see their rebuild work--i.e., not repairs, but work where they had fully rebuilt chimneys, They sent a few jobs with perhaps a couple of "after" photos each, which did not engender confidence that they were proud of their work. I would think a big chimney rebuild should have had all kinds of process photos, pictures of the firebox, etc. So, I asked for two references who had rebuilds done who could vouch for the work, and that was the last I heard from this company over a week ago. So, I'm not entirely confident that their full rebuild customers are happy, given I haven't seen a single review on this website for a large job like mine. As tempted as I am to take their reasonable offer, I am not entirely sure they can do a full rebuild I would be happy with. Not having a portfolio and no references is not a good sign."

"Dennis Amor, the owner, came out and saw that the crown was cracked in places and the brickwork needed repointing. We agreed on using a cast concrete crown to replace the less effective type that was there. He also recommended doing a "water test" which was VERY helpful since it located a leak near the siding. Despite the rainy weather in June, the work was able to be completed in three days. In addition to the crown, pointing, and caulking, the chimney was pressure washed and sealed. It looks great and I've had no leaks even though July has brought torrential rain for days on end. The workers were very professional and cleaned up the work site perfectly."

"I had a different company come out previously to do a sweep and inspection. I have a fireplace with a wood stove insert. The first company told me that they could not pull my wood stove out because it was improperly installed and gave me a long list of items that I needed to get fixed (some of which seemed redundant) and that I shouldn't use my chimney until all the work was complete. I didn't get a good feeling from them so I called Complete Chimney to come out and do a second inspection to see what they thought. Scott and Jimmy (I think) came out and one of the first things they did was pull out my wood stove. They inspected my chimney and talked to me realistically about what I should have done. I have an old wood stove that I am not quite ready to replace, and asked if they could fit a new liner to my existing stove. He told me the new wood stoves require a 6 inch liner, where mine was an 8 inch, but told me they could install a boot to adapt to the old wood stove until we are ready for a new one. He was professional and didn't speak down to me. Since the weather was getting cold, I was worried about not getting put on their schedule in time. Scott called the office for me on the spot, and made my appointment for me. Andrew came out to do the work with a helper. They were on time, professional and courteous. I was impressed that Andrew knew the exact work that needed to be done, he even cleaned the shelf behind the stove that the previous company did not do because they never pulled my stove out. Even though they were there for several hours, there was not a speck of soot anywhere, except the workers! Will definitely use them again! <br />"

"Home Wise Pros provided great service from start to finish. Jay (the owner) was prompt in answering my questions and provided a few different options for a quality roof. As a master tile installer, he was able to offer options that competitors couldn't and this made the decision easy. During the install, he kept me informed throughout the day with pictures and feedback. He was honest about replacing rotted wood in the sheathing and kept the costs reasonable. All in all, I received a quality roof and excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend Home Wise Pros for anyone needing a new roof."

"The two men who worked on my fireplace did a good job and were persistent in getting things working properly again. They kept the area clean, were polite and friendly, and arrived a bit early, which I appreciated."
