Get matched with top chimney cap installers and replacers in Meredith, NH

"The owner, Matt, as well as his staff Noah, Josh, and the office manager Michelle were all a pleasure to work with. I would happily hire Black Moose Chimney again and plan to use them from here on our to sweep the chimney they created in my home. <br /> I recently purchased a 200+ year old colonial farmhouse with a centrally located brick chimney that has seen a lot of use and abuse over the years. We wanted to switch from our expensive propane heating system to a wood burning stove, and we hired Matt to diagnose what needed to be done to use the existing historic chimney. <br /> Matt figured out that this chimney had many years ago been lined with a now decaying 8" metal liner with mortar poured in around it. It had a number of thimbles going to the kitchen and living room, and the portion of the chimney above the roof line had decayed to the point that it was no longer salvageable. They showed us photos demonstrating the need for the various aspects of work.  <br /> After we accepted his quote, which we found to be reasonable for the scope of work, Matt came by and created the brick hearth. We're very pleased with the way it turned out. He demolished the chimney above the roof line and prepared the chimney for the 6" rigid stainless steel liner. They installed the 6" chimney liner and built up the new chimney and flashing. Josh performed a lot of the brick work, he took his time and was very meticulous in his craft. They finished the chimney, poured in insulation around the liner, and installed a nice bluestone cap. The chimney looks beautiful and appropriate for our historic home, we are very happy with the work.  <br /> They had to break out some of the inside brick to install the new thimble for the liner, and the brickwork Josh and Matt did looks wonderful. They used some original bricks (which we had extras of from an old chimney, thankfully) and even took the time to mix the special lime mortar that would match the mortar in our historic home. They sealed and covered up the old thimble into the kitchen.  <br /> They had to work around some weather, which stretched the project out longer than anticipated, but they were able to have the chimney system functioning so the wood stove, when delivered, could be immediately hooked up and used. With some of the unforeseen challenges they ran into with this particular chimney, I was concerned that the original quote would be exceeded. However, when it came time to settle up, they asked only for the original price I was quoted. <br /> We have several children and Matt and his team were very careful, polite, and friendly when they came across the kids. They cleaned up after themselves and put on booties or put down protection to ensure our flooring wasn't damaged during all of the work. Noah especially was kind to the children and took the time to field my son's questions while working very hard to assist Matt and Josh with their tasks. <br /> We've been using our wood stove and chimney for almost a month now and it's worked beautifully. My wife and I fully recommend Matt and Black Moose Chimney. <br />"

"Great. Professional and easy to work with."

"Amazing work, good communication, and easy to do business with. Dave turned an old brick fireplace into something that we can be proud of."

"The job went very well. This was my first experience with a full roof replacement and we were quite nervous not knowing what to expect and what expense we were facing. Arone Exteriors came highly recommended so we reached out... Joe and his team were very professional, extremely responsive and on time by the minute they quoted. Also, pricing was very fair and no-nonsense and we felt we were being treated honestly and up front all the way through. In fact, I felt Joe and team wen over and above on many aspects of the job and the quote was the quote (to the penny). Joe also recommended a specific color roofing that was spot on exactly what we wanted and this provided a beautiful result! The job site was left clean and neat each day and left virtually no interruption at my home or in my neighborhood. In the end, I'm VERY pleased with the job they did and highly recommend Joe and Arone Exteriors. I'll be calling back Joe back for future work as needed for sure!!"

"I am new on our Board and I am using companies from those that did excellent work before for our association. We had 2 other options that I was willing to contact but my thoughts were, "why change a good thing". I have records going back maybe 12 years or so and Armstrong was the only company our association used. I suggested to the board that for reliable companies that did excellent work for us in the past, I would like to bypass the usual requirement of 3 estimates as we would have no history on 2 of them. The idea was approved and I hired Armstrong for our recent dryer vent cleanings in the Association. Their work last week was excellent and we could not have had a friendlier and more professional group to work with. In 8 cases out of our 18 units, additional "inside access to the dryer vent was necessary" and we agreed to have Armstrong come back and complete the cleanings at a small additional price. The prices were better than fair in my opinion and obviously, Armstrong represents itself well in the areas of punctuality, efficiency, price, cleanliness and doing the job well. I'm pleased. The remainder of the board is pleased and the only comments I have received from residents were positive. I trust Armstrong and I hope for a continued, long association. They are also licensed here in NH which is a new requirement for our attorney (and me) and I received their certificates within 2 days of requesting them. Overall, great company. I wish all companies for home repairs/maintenance were as pleasant to deal with. The "Cost listed below includes 18 homes with supplemental inside work for 7 units."

"John did great job overall.  He is a professional engineer (PE) and has other specialists who work for him. <br /> He was professional and factual in his findings and was diplomatic with presenting them to the owner.   <br /> He took the time to answer all my questions and wrote a very detailed report. <br /> Best of all, I found him myself and did not go thru a realtor, who has an interest in selling the home, and not in finding everything that could be wrong with a house.  <br /> Only aspect I was disappointed in was his analysis of the geothermal heat pump design we wanted to install. I am not familiar with those so I asked him to evaluate the design we were presented.  The response was less than adequate...I wanted a critical analysis and basically received eyewash, though he subcontracted that portion out to another geothermal company. <br />"

"They were willing to come on an as-needed basis for wasps, but I was chagrined to hear that we couldn't hire JP Pest just once to take care of existing mice. They said that the only way they treated those was with a yearly contract that includes quarterly monitoring. They said there really was no other way because new mice would just replace the old quickly. However, the yearly contract would include not just rodents but also the bees and wasps, ants and spiders. In the end, after calling around, I agreed to the yearly contract, which was reasonably priced. JP Pest uses the least toxic and most humane methods they can. And bonus: the tick population seems to have declined measurably with the disappearance of the mouse colonies."

"I was attempting to do a roof myself. Last year I did the backside of my house however determined that it is just not something I wanted to continue to do for the front. I contacted Gadbois Roofing and explained my situation. Gadbois Roofing came to my house and reviewed the roof. Recommendations were made an estimate was provided within a day. On the day we determined the work to be done. Gadbois Roofing arrived on time when promised and completed the job on time as promised. I am very very happy with the work performed and the recommendations that were made and things that were pointed out that should be addressed either now or at some point in the future. Gadbois Roofing is a trustworthy contractor. <br />"

"They arrived promptly, cleaned my stone and flue as well as the chimney and did an inspection and pointed out a few issues. I’m looking forward to seeing what else they do."
