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

"Back in Nov 2021, Paul Collina of Safe Fire Chimney Service quoted over the phone for inspecting and cleaning the flue of my oil furnace. Paul C. arrived promptly, and covered everything carefully to avoid getting soot on anything in the room. Paul explained everything to me, and was polite and friendly, and honored the verbal quotation. I plan to have him back in summer of 2023 to replace the metal exhaust on the roof."

"We had several email exchanges with Lindsey and she was very helpful and informative. In the end we have decided to postpone the work since we are selling the house. If the buyer wants us to perform work on the chimney, we will definitely use Boston's Best Chimney."

"The people at Downeast Chimney responded very quickly to questions I had. They were very patient and easy-going in handling multiple inquiries I had as I learned more about what is involved in replacing a chimney cap. Everyone from the company was very straightforward in their answers, and they did not try to sell work that was not required. Their explanations reflected their extensive experience, but were put in terms that someone like me who is not familiar with this kind of thing, could understand easily. They followed through on everything that they said they would do."

"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 />"

"HarCo removed and disposed of the old roof and installed a new one in the estimated time frame and to budget. They worked efficiently, were thoughtful of neighbors in typical "tight" Cambridge quarters, and did a high quality job. While they were not the lowest bid we got, we are VERY glad we went with John Harmon and crew. They did excellent work and were a pleasure to deal with."

"Very easy to get an appointment and the office called the day prior to confirm. The chimney sweep showed up a few minutes early and conducted a thorough inspection of the chimney,  flues, and furnace smoke pipe. We only needed the smoke pipe cleaned and that was done well with no mess or soot on the floors or elsewhere. The team was very professional and explained the process clearly."

"I had stainless steel chimney liners put in two properties I own, and one of them also needed to have the chimney rebuilt from the roof up. One of the liners in particular was very difficult because there were 2 gas boilers and 2 gas hot water heaters exhausting up the chimney, with low head height in the basement and a small flue. They had to custom make connectors to get everything to fit, but they ended up getting it done! I found pricing to be reasonable, I received another quote as well and went with Metrowest because they seemed very knowledgeable and the pricing was competitive."

"Kevin provided absolutely superb service.  It was so good that my wife and I already recommended him to 2 other individuals. <br /> A few weeks ago he helped me figure out where water was leaking into my home - we figured out it was coming from the chimney which had some cracks in the mortar.  He took lots of pictures while he was up on my roof so he could show me exactly what he was seeing and then provided a very cost effective solution.  The leaking has since stopped.  He also noticed some other minor issues with the chimney and fixed them free of charge.  While up there he noticed the flashing was off and re-caulked it as well - again at no extra charge.  This really demonstrated to me his desire to get the job done right. <br /> Earlier today he came by to service my boiler.  Yet again demonstrating great service.  Not only did he bring his own drop cloths (because he remembered my basement was dirt and tracked through the house), but he took his shoes off when travelling between his truck and the basement.  He put down clean clay beneath areas that might leak (my oil tank is very old) and instructed me on how to check it over the next few days.  He also showed me in person and on his phone exactly what he did with the boiler.  He went way above and beyond and took the time to do the job right.  His price was (again) astoundingly fair. <br /> When my pellet stove contract is up, I'll be renewing it under Kevin instead.  He's also already on my list to do the boiler and chimney cleaning next year.  <br /> Kevin has clearly demonstrated not only how competent he is at what is does - but that he does it with integrity and an attention to detail very hard to find these days.  He obviously takes pride in his work and I'm thankful I'm able to use his services going forward - he's a rare find. <br /> 10/10 WILL be hiring again. <br />"

"EXCELLENT! We've been without heat for 5 days. John diagnosed the problem with the chimney flue (a former contractor who re-pointed the bricks dropped concrete into the flue, essentially cutting off all air) and made all the repairs. He, Miguel and Paul were very professional, competent and courteous. Brittani was excellent in setting it all up! Would definitely recommend!"

"They cleaned everything but issue was not resolved they came back checked chimney showed that it was cleaned n stayed unti the detectors went off it was my furnace but the fact that they go above and beyond and peace of mind was worth it!!! Mark, Doug, Derrick and Mike were great,"
