Get matched with top chimney cap installers and replacers in Kinsale, VA

"We recently had a woodstove installed by Blue Ridge Chimney Services. I can not say enough about Matt and Victor. They are both very professional, extremely knowledgeable, pay great attention to details and very personable. The first day they came out to my home they answered all my questions regarding which stove would work best in our home. I called them a couple times with additional questions and my calls were returned promptly. They all deserve higher than 5 stars in my opinion. Rhonda in their office is fantastic as well. I would highly recommend Blue Ridge Chimney."

"Very well. Two gentleman who worked on it were very helpful and gave me a lot of free information on the good safe operation of my wood stove. Also they replaced a catalyst in the stove which was not planned for. I have used Dan's several times in the past to clean the chimney and was always well satisfied with their courtesy and results,"

"Glover provided us a quote within the week of initial contact and coached us to a new fireplace that we enjoy.  Within the next 1.5 months, they installed a new gas fireplace and replaced the outdated venting.  Installers were on-time, professional, and immaculately clean before departure.  We would hire Glover again. <br />"

"Mr. Thrift was very professional and seemed very competent. He explained why these were not actually foundation problems. The evaluation was free."

"BUYER BEWARE. At first things went well. We had filed with our insurance company because of damage from the storms last spring. After agreeing to a contract with a young co-owner of the company who we came to respect and trust, the roof on our house and garage were replaced. They also put a roof vent on and needed to add vented soffits. Since some of the gutters were bad, we also had them replace them to avoid damage to the new roof, but learned that the areas where they were attached were rotted in some places. The partner who was supposed to be onsite to supervise sat in his car smoking the when he was here with an unsurprising result. Some, but not all of the soffits were replaced with vented ones. Debris, including nails that were to have been cleaned up were not, resulting in a foot injury for my dog. Over the coming months different people showed up at different times. One, apparently another partner, suggested wrapping the front wood on the garage near the roof. I said that would probably be a good idea, then the young man with whom we had agreed to the initial contract emailed me to say how much it would cost and I said that I did not want to do that. UNFORTUNATELY, I agreed to a contract that had a price per foot for fascia and fascia wrap, and mistakenly assumed based on the heads up on the garage that if the price was significant, I would be so informed before replacement started. BIG MISTAKE. I was sent a bill for $1825 for gutters and fascia and $2117.50 for the "services" of the fascia and fascia wrap. I also didn't stay outside for all the work and stop them, as I wasn't feeling well. I NEVER would have agreed to that, especially since almost all of the replaced fascia was on the garage. The young man had to come out himself to get the soffits done correctly and get all the nails picked up. All I can add is cavaet emptor, latin for let the buyer beware!"

"This is the second time I used this company. Once again, they did a great job. They found the perfect siding to match that of our detached garage (which I did not need or want to replace). Management was continually engaged with the project through to completing. The work quality was outstanding. You won't go wrong with this company."

"It took a little while to get a return call after initial contact, but after that it was an excellent experience. The estimate $300-400 lower than the next lowest estimate. Workers arrived on schedule and completed work in just 2 days. They performed a thorough cleanup at the end of each day and their work was beautiful. <br />"

"<p>The firm's president, Randy Alverson, arrived promptly, assessed our damp basement situation, and explained in great detail the various steps of the waterproofing process.  He answered all of my questions and was so professional and reassuring that I broke my usual rule of getting at least 3 proposals for any home project, and decided to hire Chamberlin-Washington immediately.  Of course, I had done my homework and read the firm's excellent reviews on numerous websites including Angle's List, which added to my confidence in my choice.  </p> <p>The Chamberlin-Washington crew was terrific and worked so hard under very chilly and damp conditions. They first removed all of the plants/shrubs from our front borders, carefully wrapping the roots in order to preserve them.   An 8 + -foot trench then had to be dug along the front of our house, to the bottom of the foundation, in order to begin the waterproofing process.  They worked very carefully, addressing one half of the foundation at a time (including under our front porch, which was undisturbed). The crew realized that our home's exterior foundation was very rough and uneven, which meant that it wouldn't be a receptive surface for the waterproofing membrane.  Mr. Alverson came back to our house to explain the additional steps that were needed to smooth the foundation out before the waterproof membrane could be applied: grind down the rough foundation, install stainless steel wall ties, install wood forms and pour a 4" thick concrete layer to even up and consolidate the foundation.  He made sure that we understood what was going to happen, and explained that though this was an unusual step to have to take, they had done it before for with some older homes such as ours (built circa 1925).  This extra step of preparation added an additional 50% to the original fee, but it had to be done. Once the waterproofing layer was finally in place, they tested it by spraying water onto the foundation for an hour, with one person carefully monitoring the process inside our basement to make sure that no water was leaking through.</p> <p>Ultimately, Chamberlin-Washington was able to thoroughly waterproof the front foundation of our home, and we have had no further water problems whatsoever.  We were extremely impressed with Mr. Alverson and his crew -- very professional, punctual and thorough.  I highly recommend this firm to anyone whose home needs similar waterproofing work.  I should also add that Chamberlin-Washington honored the 10% discount for Angie's List members -- a nice touch.</p> <br />"

"So like a number of other house, we had sinking front concrete steps. Our sizable front stairs had sunk about 6 inches and pull the attached walk with it. It got to the point we just had to have them replaced. I checked out various options for having them mud-jacked, but my concern was that that would not really fix the issue for the long term and they would just end up sinking again. After getting several bids we went with Tavis at Quality Concrete and Masonry. They weren't the cheapest bid but seemed the most trustworthy and had the best plan to make sure the problem did not re-occur. Tavis started on a Tuesday and was essentially work complete by Saturday. His work was very high quality. Because of the site, amount of concrete, etc. he used 1.5" rebar instead of the standard 0.5" rebar to tie the steps to the house. ( I've never even seen 1.5" rebar before.) Site was left clean each day and the final product exceeded our expectations."

"The handyman who came out was excellent. I like his professionalism, price, responsiveness and work quality."
