Get matched with top chimney cap installers and replacers in Riverdale Park, MD

"The repointing work was generally done well. Old mortar and bricks were removed and new bricks were installed. The craftsmanship was excellent. However, the color of the mortar used differed from that in the rest of the brickwork, so at present it stands out. Sixpenny said to wait a period and then re-evaluate whether any change should be made. I would rate this as an "A" but for the color difference in the mortar that was not expected. The chimney cap work was done well."

"It was great! They were friendly and gave us a great price."

"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."

"Called Dave to inspect and repair chimney of 40-year-old house after home inspection stated that both chimney and furnace flu needed re-lining and chimney to be rebuilt from roof-line on up to the tune of thousands of dollars.  Dave inspected the chimney and found that the chimney flu did not need re-lining and the chimney could be repaired & weatherproofed, rather than rebuilt - this saved us money and maintained the rustic charm of the existing chimney.  He was very thorough in his inspection and taught us everything we would need to know about chimney maintenance, safety and structure.  His partner, Ken, did a masterful job of repairing our chimney - he replaced the individual bricks with aged ones, then sealed/waterproofed the brickwork - our chimney is safe and maintains its' charming appearance.   He also re-lined the furnace flu and placed the chimney cap.  Dave returned to replace our worn-out fireplace damper and cleaned our chimney.  Although the price for each service was a little on the higher side of other estimates, his creativity and knowledge of alternative fixes saved us money in the long run, and the quality of the work was well worth the price charged."

"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."

"Chimney had missing mortar and cracks from age and recent home construction, Chimney was repaired and a stainless steel lining system installed. Crew of two arrived at 10:30a and worked nonstop until 7:00p removing the damaged lining/bricks/mortar, installing liner, and resealing. Both gentlemen were courteous and proficient. Work areas around fireplace (interior) and chimney (exterior) were thoroughly cleaned up. Most pleased overall. Will continue to use them for our annual cleanings and maintenance. Thanks for the excellent work."

"Needed a water heater replaced and code says that a chimney liner is necessary. I called around and Capitol Chimney had a competitive quote. We had used them once before for chimney cap, and the work there was good. They came out as scheduled and finished the work in a few hours. Everything looks good and they left extra pipe for the plumbing company to attach the water heater. Recommended"

"They showed up right on time and gave an estimate on the spot. The description of what needed to be done matched what other companies told me and the price was competitive. They took extra time explaining what work would be done and why it was important. They were able to schedule the work within the next few days. When they showed up to do the work, they were again right on time. It took them about a day and a half to complete the job. Throughout the process everyone on the crew was extremely professional. The care they took to manage the dust and not damage the fireplace mantel was amazing. Will definitely be using them for routine chimney sweeping in the future."

"Easy to schedule. prompt arrival and excellent work. Griffin and McGee great to work with."

"I chose St. Joseph’s to replace my 20+ year old roof for the care they put into determining their estimate. For example, Sean was the only one of three contractors to climb up into my attic to inspect the interior. He gave me various shingle options and answered all my questions. When St. Joseph’s scheduled the project date, they sent a helpful email with instructions and description of the process. The roofing team was friendly and capable and left the area around my home cleaner than they found it. My new roof and gutters are beautiful, and I have confidence it will be another 20+ years before they need to be replaced."
