Get matched with top chimney cap installers and replacers in La Crescenta-Montrose, CA

"The entire experience was great, start to finish. We called very last minute trying to arrange for a chimney inspection for a home in escrow, they answered their phone on the weekend and set up an appointment for Monday afternoon, called in advance to tell us they were on their way, showed up during the time window they gave us, incredibly professional and really knew what they were doing. Plus they were quick with both their findings and the report. Could not have asked for a better experience."

"Chimney cap fell off and they were prompt as well as thoroughly repaired:replaced the cap, cleaned the chimneys and did follow up to recommend some safer changes."

"Great. Very happy with their inspector. Knowledgeable, worked fast, and left me with a clean chimney."

"Very professional. Right on time. Found a problem with my chimney and provided detailed description. Provided recommendations for who could repair also. Very impressed with Jerry. <br />"

"I had used this company many years ago to partially rebuild my chimney. Unfortunately, the name of the company had changed and I could not locate them when it appeared that I now needed additional work. Initially I contacted two other vendors both of whom came up with wildly expensive bids because they told me I needed much more extensive work than in fact I did. <br /> Fortunately I found Wilf, whose honesty and integrity are noteworthy. Work was performed as promised: on time, with a professional and courteous crew, and a result I know I can trust and depend on. I wouldn't use anybody else for chimney work. <br />"

"We've had a problem with birds and a squirrel coming down our chimney. One chimney is in the kitchen for an indoor grill, and there is our fireplace in the den. We have rarely used either the grill or fireplace in the mid-century home we inherited from our parents. We decided to get the chimneys capped to prevent animal invasion. Luna's Chimney Sweep had very good reviews, so I called and was informed by Violet what the process is and that they offer a free estimate. I made an appointment and Pedro Luna and his assistant, Chris, arrived promptly on the appointed day and time. Mr. Luna explained their service and also gave us good information about the operation and mechanisms of fireplaces. He did the inspection and told us the problem areas that he found and gave us the option of how much work we would want to have done on the fireplaces. He said they could start work that day if we accept the estimated price, or make an appointment for them to come back another day. We decided to have the recommended repairs done that day, with cleaning and capping of both fireplaces. The work was completed in a little under three hours. Mr. Luna and Chris were thorough, efficient, and neat. He reviewed the work done with us and made sure we were satisfied with everything. They were careful to clean up afterward and the work areas were left spotless. We are pleased with the work done, the price seemed fair, and Mr. Luna was careful to explain everything and to make sure we understood the hows and whys of what he was recommending and doing. I would not hesitate to use his service again or give a referral to others."

"The repair looked fine but I can't really comment on that until it rains again!  The company was very professional and a pleasure to deal with.  It did take awhile the get the repair appointment but since we are in the middle of a drought that was not a problem.  We will definitely get a bid from this company when we have to replace the entire roof in the future. <br />"

"I went with LA Expert Builders on a complete remodel of my old kitchen. My kitchen was in a bad condition so Nir and his team didn't had easy task but they did excellent job and exceed my expectations. The outcome is brilliant and my new kitchen is beautiful and very functional. I can not recommend enough Nir and LA Expert Builders!"

"This is the third time I have worked with Terry. He plastered the many cracks in a bedroom's walls, as well as in the ceiling. He then applied a new coat of plaster on the entire ceiling, creating a textured finish like in an old Spanish-colonial revival style house. Terry is a pleasure to work with. He has many years of experience and I feel fortunate that he still wants to make his his craftmanship available to customers."

"I am reviewing Embers West's installation of a Mendota FV44 sealed combustion gas insert (combustion air comes from outside & fumes vent to the outside). The product has a remote with a thermostat & ability to control the flame height, circulating blower speed & a dimmable halogen light. There is electric ignition (no standing pilot flame) & a battery-pack to light the flame in case of a power outage. If you're in the market for a gas fireplace, look no further. Save your time and come here first. You'll be glad you did. We chose Embers West because they had the highest Yelp rating of the several local fireplace businesses (well-deserved - with over 3 dozen reviews). My wife & I had researched gas fireplace inserts online before calling EW & were partial to the Mendota brand. When we met with Francois Tiab (owner & chief technical person), I provided photos & measurements of our 1955 brick fireplace; he agreed that Mendota was our best choice. Francois impressed us enough that we saw no need to check out any other businesses (so I can't comment on his pricing versus others). He was personable, professional & extremely knowledgeable & we enjoyed working with him. Francois made it clear at the start that our project needed several visits from them but I did not ask for a schedule; the project took 3 months & cost a bit over $8k (actually $500 less than the quote- Serryn (office manager) emailed us to say Mendota was having a sale- we would not have known otherwise). If your project needs to be completed quickly - then you should discuss that with Francois up-front. A few times, I had to call to find out the status - Serryn got us an answer right away each time (also when I had tech questions). The installation encountered a snag & Francois quickly resolved it. This is all normal for custom work. The gas line & electrical connection were installed before EW started. Mario was the installer & he was great (friendly, punctual, took time to do things right, brought tarps to protect the carpet & wore protective booties over his shoes). He used a "sniffer" to check for gas leaks. Payments were easily handled online via their website. Their showroom had sample installations to help select finishes & the artificial logs. The finished job looks great & I'm very happy with the results. I definitely recommend Embers West."
