Let me introduce myself and tell you about us. I’m Mike, the founder and owner of MCP Chimney and Masonry. MCP is a company I started in 1994 with only an old pickup, three hundred dollars, and a mission to treat all of my customers like family. Today, each MCP employee is trained to provide the highest quality chimney work. We want to be more than just your average contractor, we want to be the personal chimney and masonry company that you can trust and rely on for a lifetime. As you can imagine, trustworthiness in a chimney company is paramount. Customers cannot easily see chimney work that is recommended. MCP treats our customers the way we like to be treated as customers. I am so grateful that our customers’ trust in us over the years has spurred our growth despite minimal advertising. These word of mouth recommendations of our fiercely loyal customer base has pushed MCP from a single employee with a single truck to twenty-five year-round employees working in fully staffed offices. We hope you will give us a chance to be your trusted chimney company. We will work hard to keep you happy.

"We recently had Dan come out to give us a free quote for two windows that were leaking and showing some minor water damage. From the moment he arrived, Dan was professional, friendly, and incredibly thorough. He took his time inspecting both windows and clearly explained where the moisture was building up and what signs to keep an eye on moving forward. What really stood out was his honesty—rather than pushing unnecessary repairs, Dan let us know that the issue could be mitigated on our own by using dehumidifiers and keeping the window areas clean. He walked us through exactly where the buildup was happening and gave us practical tips to manage it ourselves. It's rare to come across an honest company that is not money hungry.

Dryer Vent Wizard is a dryer vent cleaning, repair, and installation company. We are a national franchise and service all major and most minor markets in the US.
"replaced long run of duct with rigid type, replaced internal ductwork to dryer plus outside vent cap. Very pleased with service. But pricing was based on a catalog of fixed prices for various parts of the project, with overlapping scope - had to negotiate the total price so as not to pay twice for same components. Seemed expensive but high quality."

Yes, a chimney cap is essential for keeping birds, squirrels, rain, and debris out of the flue. By stopping stray embers and blocking downdrafts, a chimney cap helps your fireplace run safely and efficiently. The cap also protects the chimney’s inner walls from moisture damage, saving you from costly repairs down the road.
Most chimney caps last anywhere from three to 25 years. Galvanized steel sits at the low end, while stainless steel, aluminum, and especially copper can exceed the 25-year mark. Annual inspections, quick repairs, and routine chimney cleanings all help the cap reach its full lifespan and keep the flue protected.
A good rule of thumb is to set the cap at least eight inches above the top of the flue. That clearance keeps the draft strong, lets smoke exit freely, and prevents back-puffing into your living room. Extra height also adds a little more protection from wind-driven rain and snow without hurting airflow.
The crown is the solid concrete or mortar slab that sits on top of the chimney stack and sheds water away from the masonry. The cap, mounted above the flue, adds the final layer of defense by blocking rain, animals, and embers while still letting smoke out. Working together, the crown guards the structure and the cap safeguards the flue.
