Get matched with top chimney cap installers and replacers in Mount Airy, MD

"They came out to clean the chimney and let us know that it needed to be relined. They did the work quickly and for a reasonable price."

"Manuel did a thorough inspection first, both from inside the house and from the roof. He took pictures of it on his phone to show us the problem. He suggested what was needed and gave us a complete estimate. He came with a helper and worked for two days putting in a liner, insulating the liner, removing old crumbling tiles He replaced the back wall of the fireplace with brick, replaced our old damper with an energy saving one, and applied a water repellent. He protected all of our furniture and flooring as needed. He cleaned up when he finished. He called before coming on the days scheduled, and if he was going to be a bit late, he called to let me know when he would arrive He and his helpers were polite and helpful. We definitely chose the right person for the job, and will call him again if we should ever have another chimney problem or when we need our chimney cleaned."

I called another company that charged $200 for an estimate.  They gave me a written estimate with pictures, and told me that smoke was leaking from one flu to the next because of cracked flu tiles.  They recommended two stainless steel flu liners, replacing the crown, replacing the four bad bricks, and sealing the outside of the chimney at a cost of $13000.  That wasn't going to happen.  I sent the pictures to another chimney repair company and they would do the same work for $6000. What an eye opener!  How could there be such a disparity?  That's when I called Metropolitan Chimney.  Adolfo looked at the chimney and saw that the cracked flu tiles were near the top of the chimney and could be replaced without needing to reline the flues.  Aldofo was the only person to diagnose the leaking problem. He said, " the two flues were so close together at the top of the chimney. Smoke from one fireplace rose out of the chimney and was sucked down into the adjacent flu,  The smoke came into the house through the other fireplace." The problem was solved with the installation of chimney cap dampers on each flu. I have had a fire in both fireplaces, and smoke has not leaked back into the house.  Aldofo and his coworker were honest, did the work that week, left the house clean, and saved me a lot of money.  It is important to note that the flu liners recommended by the other companies would not have solved the problem of smoke leaking back  into the house. Only Adolfo understood the physical phenomenon of negative pressure as it applied to my fireplaces.

"A&T was friendly on the phone, scheduled the appointment at my convenience (a Saturday no less), sent out a nice e-mail reminder, called on their way to the appointment, showed up within the time window, and quickly and professionally installed a flue cap with a lifetime warranty.  All-in-all I'd say you can't do much better than that! Highly recommended!

"Company was responsive to request for a quote. Work was scheduled for the following week. Workers showed up on time and completed the job quickly."

"The service was fine. The only thing is that they were really late coming. So, it was like dark when they got out of here. They left the area good when they were finished. It took them an hour-and-a-half to complete the job. They sent me a picture of the chimney. The price was great. They did show up."

"Two gentlemen arrived, very courteous and professional.  I escorted one gentleman to the furnace area to investigate what would be cleaned.  I was amazed to see what I saw!  Soot (looking more like crumbled dirt and sand) nearly filled the flue; solid evidence there was a serious and potentially unsafe problem in that side of the chimney.  The other gentleman shared that he'd go to the top of the chimney to advise me of the condition.  He also took pictures on their phones so I could see the condition above.  There was no cap on the furnace chimney (I had one on the fireplace chimney).  He also looked into the fireplace chimney which I greatly appreciated.  One gentleman advised me of the cost of the repairs, I agreed to the cost, and they began working.  These gentlemen were outstanding; demonstrating great concern for the safety of my home.  I would not hesitate to use them again.

"I am completely satisfied with the service and the turnaround was incredible (1 day), no waiting to get my fireplace up and running. Now I can burn some wood and they gave me a quick lesson on how to burn wood, thanks I needed that lesson."

"I would hire Chelsea’s chimney again in a heartbeat. They did outstanding work in a timely manner. The crew that did the work (Shaun, Juan and Santiago) were fantastic. They were respectful, very conscientious of protecting our property while they worked and extremely hardworking. They were highly skilled, knowledgeable and took pride in their work and it showed. The work turned out great. I don’t love spending thousands of dollars to make repairs…. But these repairs were necessary and Chelsea’s chimney gave me a fair deal."

"Very professionally done.  On time and no bother to me.  After they did the work, the chimney cap fell (probably because it was not put back quite right), but no problem, they agreed to come to put it back up at no charge.  It took a while for them to get to it, but it was indeed done yesterday..."
