"We had ABS window cleaning out to clean our windows. They were initially very responsive and kind. They came out at 3:30pm to do our entire house which I thought was interesting because I have had window cleaning before and it took them all day. I asked if they would do the windowsills and clean them up as well. They told me it would be extra and I said that would be fine. I asked when they initially called if they would bring a vacuum and they said “yes we do”. They got to the house and started cleaning. Within 30 min of them being there they were asking how we would be paying which I thought was weird as they just started and unprofessional at the bare minimum. They then cleaned for another 30 min and asked if it looked good. I took them to a window and asked if they could get these cobwebs out and he said “oh ya he’s gonna get them”. They left 10 min later asked if everything looked good. I didn’t think to go look as they said they would do it and I said yes which was my fault. They left and after looking around they never did the window as cobwebs were still in multiple windows and nothing had been vaccumed bc they had never brought a vacuum. I asked if they could come back by and they said they never heard me to do that window and was never shown, however were willing to come back. We scheduled for today at 3 pm for them to come back. They never showed up and never communicated. We had to call them and they made an excuse as to they were busy. We had an appt arranged and they said they then had to come tomorrow. All in all after 1 hour of cleaning and not ever getting anything cleaned to a 500 dollar standard they left cobwebs and dust in all my windowsills and streaks on the windows. 1 hour and 500 dollars for that and the unprofessional behavior is not worth your time or money. I have attached pictures for proof."

A properly constructed chimney crown using quality materials can last 50 to 70 years with appropriate maintenance. Poorly constructed crowns might need replacement in 20 years or less. Weather exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, and construction quality all affect longevity. Regular inspections and prompt repairs of minor issues can significantly extend your chimney crown's useful life and prevent more costly repairs down the road.
Homeowners' insurance covers sudden, accidental damage to chimney crowns from events like fallen trees or storm damage. However, gradual deterioration from age or lack of maintenance falls outside coverage parameters. Review your specific policy details, as coverage varies between insurers. Document any storm-related damage with photos and maintain records of regular chimney maintenance to support potential claims for weather-related damage.
The chimney crown forms the concrete or masonry covering across the entire top surface of your chimney, sloping away from the flue to direct water away. A chimney cap, by contrast, is a smaller component that fits directly over the flue opening to prevent animal entry and block sparks. While the cap protects just the flue opening, the crown safeguards the entire chimney structure from water penetration.
Professional chimney inspections should occur annually to evaluate crown condition along with other chimney components. Homeowners in regions with severe weather patterns or frequent freeze-thaw cycles might benefit from semi-annual inspections. A thorough inspection examines the crown for cracks, spalling, deteriorating mortar joints, and proper water drainage. Early detection of minor issues prevents them from developing into major structural problems.
A deteriorating chimney crown frequently leads to interior moisture problems. When water penetrates crown cracks, it can travel through the chimney structure into adjacent walls and ceilings. This moisture migration often results in stained drywall, peeling paint, and potential mold growth. Early intervention through crown repair or sealing prevents these secondary damages and protects your home's interior from water-related deterioration.
