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

"The staff member who came out to give an estimate took pictures of my chimney cap and what work would need to be done. When the work was done, it was in a timely manner and all materials were cleaned up from the work site. The technician again provided pictures so we could see the finished project."

"WONDERFUL! Jimmy and his fellow technician did a fantastic job of cleaning the dryer vent. I was appalled at how much lint was removed! They were fast, efficient, and cleaned up the area just like new. I was so impressed I asked for an estimate to replace panels in my fireplace while Jimmy was here. I'll be using Finest Chimney Sweep again in the near future! Well done!"

"Chimney Doctor gets a "A" for the actual chimney work and a "F" for clean-up (which averages out to a "C"). The mortar between the bricks of our chimney was beginning to deteriorate. We hired Chimney Doctor to tuckpoint most of the chimney and perform other minor work re: the cap. The work itself was done in a reasonable amount of time and looks great. That said, the chimney is located right next to our new composite deck that we had built a few months ago. I emphasized several times in writing to the company that the deck was the largest investment we had made in the house and we were very sensitive about protecting it. They acknowledged this sentiment multiple times, also in writing. Despite these requests, the furniture and the deck surfaces were a complete mess after they finished their work. The workers allowed the dust to settle on the deck and, due to the high humidity, this dust adhered itself to every surface. The company acknowledged this issue and did send an employee days later to clean the deck. Unfortunately, this was ineffective. It took me hours over several days (I had to wait for the deck to dry each time to see spots I missed) of power washing and scrubbing to get the deck clean again and to clean each item of furniture. When I informed them of this situation, they did apologize but provided no other refund or resolution. I recognize this process creates dust and that's just part of the work, but I think they could've done much more to either proactively protect the deck, to suggest that WE should've put some tarps down on our own, or to pay for a professional 3rd party company to come in and clean up. All told, if your chimney is nowhere near a nice patio/deck/etc., then by all means hire Chimney Doctor. If it is near an area you're sensitive about, then I'd look elsewhere or at least be prepared for a large clean-up effort on your part."

"Excellent service. Chimney inspection not only showed a safe and intact chimney and vent, it also showed the chimney was not in need of cleaning even though it had been several years since last cleaned. I love it when businesses are honest enough to tell you when you don't need a service."

"Brick chimney needed repairs including partial demolition and re-bricking. They were honest with good pricing, punctual, and had great brick mason craftsmanship which included a good match of existing brick and mortar."

"I had a great experience with Capitol Chimney. I called them for a chimney inspection because I had the plumbing company come out and check the boiler and other than needing a new damper motor (which they replaced), they said the boiler was fine. So after about a week, my boiler was still blowing hot air into the laundry room through the spill switch vent due to the backdraft from the chimney. This was the beginning of January and we were going to have a week of freezing temperatures and everyone was super busy. I called Capitol Chimney and they were nice enough to fit me in for a chimney inspection. Abraham and Carlos came out and were very friendly and explained everything about the chimney showing me the pictures of inside the chimney also explaing that I needed a chimney liner to fix the problem. They were very professional and made me feel like it was one of my friends talking to me. I appreciate good customer service as that is just as important as the quality of the work if not more so. I set up an appointment with Diana. She is fantastic! She knows a lot about chimneys, just as much as one of the techss! She was really great on the phone and I felt at ease with her and she kept me updated on where the truck was as well as all the email paperwork sent back and forth. Great customer service from her as well! Very important. So my appointment day to replace the chimney liner came and they were able to show up very early! Joaquin and Augustino were very nice and professional and such hard workers! I was curious how a chimney liner was installed and watched them do some of the work. It is very time consuming and hard work as there is a lot of cutting involved and work on the outside as well as the inside and the chimney cap looks so good that my neighbor said it is the nicest one on the block. HAHA! They really took the time to put the tarp down in the laundry room and were vacuuming the whole time they were working. In fact, the laundry room was cleaner after they left! Joaquin explained how the 'T' worked in the pipes and we tested the boiler and hot water heater and everything worked great. I am really happy with their work. In fact, I am happy with the whole process from beginning to end. It has been over a month now and the boiler is actually working better than it did before. It has worked every time we turn it on and that is a relief not having to worry about it anymore. So kudos to Capitol Chimney for an outstanding job! Thanks, Paul"

"Aragon did a great job replacing my chimney cap and painting my furnace pipe. They were professional, friendly, showed up when expected and efficient in performing the work."

"I needed an inspection for my chimney to see if there was a problem with the venting, but was having a lot of trouble finding a company who could accomplish this. This is because I have a very old gas appliance which has a very small vent diameter which apparently doesn't allow for the cameras of chimney sweeps to fit. I finally called Rooftop Chimney Sweeps to see if they might be able to help. The owner returned my call and spent nearly 30 minutes asking questions and getting more information about my fireplace/chimney concerns. He even brought up my address on Google Maps to look at my building and review the chimney structure, etc. to help determine what kind of inspection could be done. I really appreciated the time he took speaking with me, and it's clear he is extremely knowledgeable. An appointment was set for a few weeks later. The technician (Perry) and assistant (Christopher?) that visited were very friendly and polite, took COVID precautions, and were also conscientious about keeping things clean during their work. They were very thorough, inspecting both inside and outside on the roof. They even found a way to scope the chimney despite the small vent. I was able to see the video of the vent as they were scoping the chimney. An inspection report was sent to me later that day. I am very pleased with the service I received and feel much better now about the safety of my chimney and fireplace."

"Richard Wood provided great guidance on what repairs were needed on our chimney. He noticed problems with the mortar on the rakes of our chimney, which another provider did not notice. (The problems were very visible once Mr. Wood pointed them out.) He worked us into his schedule and over two days completed the work, including treating the new mortar joint restoration, caulking, and applying a water repellent to help avoid some of the same issues in the future. Mr. Wood was very professional and easy to work with."

"Prouty did a great job on the chimney liners and ultimately the chimney cap repair. I rated them a C on responsiveness and professionalism specifically for an issue related to finishing the chimney cap in April when the weather conditions allowed for the repair. We financed the project over a six month period. I had requested that they provide pictures of the finished work including the chimney cap. Other companies we have used in the past provide before and after pictures. However, we were told that because they had already completed the chimney cap repair, they would not return to take pictures. It wasn't until we withheld the final payment that they agreed to return and provide pictures; only to find out that the work had not been completed. They were apologetic about the error in the paperwork, but I can't help thinking if we had not withheld the final payment, we would have been unaware that the repair had not been completed. I believe I would hire them again, but would have to make sure to verify the completed work."
