"hired Chimney and Duct Experts based on their reviews on Google and Angis list to address a potential problem with a roof leak near my chimney. They quickly determined the flashing of my chimney was probably the reason for the leak, so they gave me a quote to rebuild the chimney flashing for $1300. They were able to do the work that same day, which I thought was great. However, the leak continued, so I moved on to roofers to help figure out the problem. I had 5 different roofing and repair companies come out, and each one said that the flashing on the chimney was terribly done, using a sealant instead of metal step flashing as is standard. I called back Chimney and Duct Experts and spoke with a supervisor. He agreed to come and redo the flashing, but insisted that fully rebuilding the flashing is only done when you get a new roof. Ended up being incorrectly done again, and I'll have to pay someone now to fix it correctly."

"I own a home in Rutland and Called Servpro Yesterday, the 25th of January. Like many in the area, the nasty weather has caused flooding and we woke up to a wet basement. Having had excellent experiences in the past with Servpro in other parts of the country, I immediately thought of them. I will need to ensure that this situation is remedied properly as the basement is finished and our bedroom is down there. I called and spoke to a woman on the phone for a while. She was quite helpful as I had several questions. I wanted to get them out to the house and she explained that as the situation was bad all over, the earliest they could come was Sunday. There were about 30 cases ahead of mine. Having limited options and wanting to have the work done by the professionals, I signed up. I did tell the lady that I had a plumber coming out shortly to verify the problem was not mechanical related and that I would call back before 5 to verify. I also told her I would begin an insurance claim. She advised me to hold on as my deductible is $1000 and the job might not be that much. I asked her how late she was working and she told me 5:00 pm. I called back close to 5 and some clueless man answered the phone. You know, you would think that a company like Servpro would train people on proper phone skills. I asked to speak to the woman I had spoke to earlier and he said she was gone. I told him I would like to verify my Sunday appointment and he said I was not on the list and that Tuesday would be the earliest. This was unacceptable to me as I know the difference a couple of days can mean to a wet basement, carpeting, furniture and walls. I repeated my request for Sunday and he simply reiterated that it would be Tuesday earliest, with no empathy or concern evident in hos tone. He said that the notes said I was going to get an insurance claim started and was holding off pending getting that action. Not at all true but why would it matter? The work had to be done. I wanted them to come out. I did explain to him, even though it is irrelevant, that the other agent had recommended against starting a claim pending estimating the job. To my disbelief, he told me that she had not said that, as if he were in the room to hear the conversation. Well, she had. At this point, I pretty much decided that perhaps the safety of my home, placed in the care of people that obviously don’t care, might not be the best idea. I told him that at this point I was uncomfortable and he rudely told me to get some one else, as If that was nor already the plan. I hung up. I am not one to write bad reviews, as I believe they do impact others thoughts, in this case, I simply cannot refrain. I will be leaving reviews anywhere else that I can think of and contacting Servpro National. Beware, It did not feel like he was having a bad day, it felt like it was normal."

FAQs for chimney cap installation and replacement projects in Manchester, VT

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.
