Get matched with top chimney cap installers and replacers in Ipswich, MA

"Quick response. Quick appointment.  On time. Did work efficiently and cleaned up very very well. Explained what other work needed to be done which matched home inspector's report on this new to us home. Made recommendations.  2nd quote was a little delayed but extremely responsive when I followed up.  Didn't end up using them for the additional repair as it needed to be coordinated with other contracted work so we used the provider the other contractor recommended.  Other chimney contractor made a point of saying that the cleaning done by Affordable Chimney was excellent.  Prices were similar too, in fact overall Affordable was cheaper though we chose a different liner so final cost was less.  I'm sure Affordable would have been a better price with different liner. <br />"

"Excellent. Prior to the beginning of the job there were many questions with regard to the liner and the re-build of the chimney stack. John was very thorough in what needed to be done and how it needed to be done so as to not incur any additional cost (headaches). When the time came for the work to be done, John and Miguel showed up on time and went right to work. Within a matter of hours, the chimney liner, exhaust manifolds for the furnaces and hot water heater were all installed - all with no trace of him being there beyond his completed work. John was a consummate professional from beginning to end. If I had another chimney I'd hire him again."

"Looks and works great again. I did not get a bill of sale listing the work and parts replaced. Every penny counts at tax time :) Excellent repair technician, he even carries kitty treats! Thank you!"

"I have an old roof and I wanted to get a good amount of estimates. I was a little put off that the consultation didn’t actually include someone actually going on the roof to look at it. I mean I am looking at roofing work wouldn’t a ladder be appropriate? Before even sitting down with the sales rep, I was told how old my roof was and that it basically needed to be torn down. Granted, that might have been the case, but my roof is extremely hard to see from the ground up. The area that the leak was coming from is not even visible from my yard or even across the street for that matter. Once I showed him the leak area he noticed that I had old skylights. He made a point to continue to point out how old and outdated they were. I mentioned that I was going to look into getting those replaced in the near future but right now I wanted to focus on the roof. However, once the “quote” was given to me, it included solar skylights (at an outrage price at that). Since then, I was quoted by 3 other people at half the price of what they wanted to replace them for. Again, I knew this was going to be an expensive project. I full expected that. As a positive note, I will say that the sales rep was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The consultation lasted for probably an hour. I felt like I was in a boardroom and someone was giving me a sales pitch on the company – which wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, but my goal was to get the quote. As great as the company may be, it all comes down to the dollar amount for most people. I had to wait 60 minutes to actually be told what the quote was. I almost fell on the floor. It was $25,000 (3x the amount of what other companies were quoting me at for the same work). I’m not saying they wouldn’t have done a great job, but for me and my budget, it was extremely unreasonable. Please understand, it's not the price that has me rating this as a C. The only reason why I am giving this a C rating is because I did feel pressured to call in for financing. The sales rep mentioned numerous times that I could get approved right then and there. I told him that I hadn’t made a decision yet and he told me I could still call and get approved and they would hold it for 30 days. I felt that he was put off by the fact that I wasn’t going to do this and that I wanted to think about it. I also felt pressured as to letting him know when I would make my decision. Again, I had a lot to think about here. I wasn’t even thinking of financing as that was the last thing I wanted to do. In the end, it was at that moment (along with the astronomical pricing) that I decided to not go with this company. If it’s one thing a consumer doesn’t want to feel, it is pressure. I appreciated the options he gave, but when I say that I need to think about it that is where it should have ended, don’t pressure me further. It actually rubbed me the wrong way. As a result of this (not to mention the high pricing), I went with another company who ended up doing the same work for nearly a third of the cost and was just as professional with no added pressures."

"The work was done on time by professional workmen. They also patched up some loose bricks at no additional cost. Also cleared out most of the house gutters! <br />I would highly recommend this company! <br />"

"Jeremy came in on time and he performed a chimney inspection as well as he cleaned one of our fireplaces. <br /> He took the time to listen to all of our questions and concerns and he provided us with answers to all our questions. <br /> We are very happy with the quality of their service and we will be definitely using their services in the future."

"I got the info on Gaffney's Chimney service from Angie's list.  Mr.Gaffney  showed up on time. Was very professiional, did a great job at a resonable price. What more can you say. I would absolutely recommend him, and use him again. <br />"

"Rick Ferreira and the team were very responsive and terrific to work with. They worked with me so we could get the inspection and the chimney repairs done promptly."

"He took pictures of both pipes and showed us the cracking around the base of the pipe. It was nice to see it on his phone. The previous person who supposedly fixed it did not do it correctly. After giving us a price he went out and got the parts and repaired it the same day. He also showed us pictures of the repair. Very polite. We would definitely call them again."

"Perfect. I needed to line an unlined chimney for a hot water heater. Footie recommended aluminum as the most appropriate material for a natural gas hot water heater. The chimney is a straight shot with a 90 degree turn for attaching the water heater. The installation was quick, including capping the chimney. My experience with Footie is that he does quality, honestly priced work. His quotes are reasonable and accurate. <br />"
