Get matched with top chimney cap installers and replacers in Mission Hills, CA

"I scheduled a chimney cleaning and inspection with CSE.  They had <br /> previously helped restore/fix our old chimney when we moved into the <br /> house.  They cleaned the chimney efficiently and without making a <br /> mess.   Then, they fixed a draft issue by removing some excess <br /> concrete.  Excellent service.  Excellent knowledge.  And they stand by <br /> their product.  Very glad I chose them. <br />"

"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."

"This repair went very well. This company knew exactly what was needed for a one-story residential chimney and hearth, and worked efficiently. Wilf, who directed the project was professional and very easy to communicate with. He told us exactly what they were going to do and how much it would cost and answered our questions on a daily basis. The different small teams that specialized in certain parts of the work (e.g., filling in the cracks, installing the liner, laying the tile) all were good workers and friendly. Done in good time, and our chimney now works well and looks great!"

"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 crew came over early on the agreed upon date and repaired the roof and put on new shingles on both the house and the detached garage.  Someone also installed a solar powered attic fan in order to help keep the house cooler in the summer.  The next day someone came over and met the building inspector to look at the new roof.  There was no problem.  After paying for the completed job, I needed some minor adjustment on the installed attic fan.  J&J sent someone over the next week and the adjustment was made.  So far, so good... <br />"

"He did great work and cleaned up well. The only point of contention was that I asked if we should not use a water barrier so these walls were bordering flower beds and he did not use that. Now it's leaking through."

"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!"

"They did a pretty good job. He was thorough, but he made a couple of mistakes. There was a technical part of the job where you don't sweep the chimney. You don't put the cleaner in, it will be more hurtful to put the cleaner in, then to start it up and let the black stuff go out. The smoke go out. I let him start it. Everything was in good conditions, it just hasn't been running in twenty years. When he started, black smoke went around the neighborhood. More like dust. Black dust. It sometimes carries a little bit, and everybody has a pool. It got in their pool. He sold me a sparker rector. It was avid. I had the money to purchase it, and he installed it for a $100. Its a dangerous job, you get on top of the roof, on top of the chimney, and use your power tools. Its harder than average. I got a good grade. A good certificate. It last a few more years. He was right on time. He was responsive. He started it up and the light was in the thing that was connected in the wall. The flames were in the lamp he had in there. A mechanic lamp. I had somebody plus my mom that is a 100 years old. Nothing happened. By the time we got talking to each other, I bought a fire extinguisher. Safety prep. It was a good price by the way. They certified the chimney."

"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."
