Get matched with top chimney cap installers and replacers in Salem, MA

"All projects encounter unexpected challenges, such as when installing chimney dampers on a roof in the winter season. Having a Team committed to resolving issues and ensuring total customer satisfaction makes all the difference. Scott, Rania and their Team were honest, fair, knowledgable and professional. Paid for a service and got it. Above all, they made the experience enjoyable. A rarity in today's world, when most contractors feel like they're doing you a favor just by showing up. Thank you , Team Chimney Chap."

"Everything went well. No issues. Vinnie who came the first day for the cleaning was great. It was recommended "several years ago" due to some minor tile damage that we get a liner installed but we never did. So this time around we decided to get one. No sales pressure at all or any other comments pressuring us to get one, but I felt it was time. Vinnie also came by with another worker to install the liner, took about 2.5 hours. Overall, a very positive experience. I did rate the price a "B" because I though it was a bit high but maybe that is the going rate. I did not shop around since there are only so many chimney companies out there and we had used Master Chimney Sweepers in the past. $558 for cleaning and $3240 for liner."

"Fred's Chimney Magic came to our home after we purchased it. We have an old house and the original chimney everything needed to be repaired...the chimney was falling apart. We needed a new liner and mason work. The head technician was so knowledgeable. They gave us a very fair price to put in a new liner, chimney cap and repair the falling brick. Will definitely recommend them again!"

"I could not be happier. Obviously, I have not climbed on top of my 3 story house to look close up, but even from the ground I can see that what was clearly a rickety chimney now looks, well, rock solid. The chimney cap is in place and it clearly looks like it's going to stand for a very long time. Ted called me within minutes of me doing the search on Angie's List, but since Rock Solid was one of the companies that came up with an A rating and excellent reviews, and since he could come out very quickly, I decided to see what he said. Time frame was important here, since you could see the sky through the gaps between the bricks of the chimney, and we have solar panels near by. If a brick fell it could damage a solar panel and that would be very bad. In fact, Ted said that the best course would be to rebuild the chimney entirely, but given the solar panels he wouldn't want to take the chance. It looked rebuilt when they left today. He gave me the estimate on Tuesday and was able to make it here on Friday (today.) He *did* tell me he wasn't a morning person and wouldn't be out early, but I didn't need to be here so long as they had access to water and electricity. Well, I don't know when they arrived because I didn't hear a thing. Just when I went out I saw the ladder. They were done by 4pm and everything looked beautiful. The ground underneath was perfectly clean. I gave him a check and now I've got a fully repaired chimney that isn't going to fall down. All good! Much happiness all around. I certainly recommend Rock Solid Chimney."

"Michael and his team did a nice job replacing some bricks on our chimneys, flashing, new cap and dampers. They worked quickly and efficiently. I would hire them again. Michael is an expert in all things chimneys and will be honest and not try to get oversell."

"Rick Ferreira and the team were very responsive and terrific to work with. They worked with me so we could get the inspection and the chimney repairs done promptly."

"Our roof got old and covered with moss so we decided to have it replaced. I started quoting in mid-February, I asked from 6 companies for quotes. Global Roofing stood out pretty easily. Freddy and Rich came and they impressed me in pretty much all aspects, but the most of which is they are very honest and they know how to work with roofs. So, I chose them without much hesitation at all and convinced they would do a good job. The process leading to the installation day was very smooth, had to delay for a week because of the weather, Andrea did a fantastic job in communication. Materials delivered the night before, the crew came on time, they did a fantastic job peeling off the old shingles, installing the new shingles, replacing the gutter, and the cleanup, the entire crew are professional, efficient, courteous and they work as a team. All in all, I had a great experience, will use them again, and will recommend to my neighbors and friends."

"The person who came to do the job was very friendly and talkative. The chimney was really bad and potentially dangerous and he did a great job of cleaning it and the work around him. It looks almost like new again."

"Excellent. I have used Patrick before, and always am very pleased with his response, his work, and the ease of working with him.  He comes when he says he will, on time, does excellent work, and cleans up after the work is done.  I highly recommend him.

Mike Foote impressed me immediately with his promptness - he always arrived at the time he said he would, which to me indicates a level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and respect for my time that I appreciate. 

He also had an understanding and appreciation for older homes and construction methods which I felt would be an asset, as my home was built in the early 1900s and was in need of significant structural repair.  I wanted someone who would be able to handle the unforeseen complications that inevitably arise when major repairs must be done on an older home, and someone who would also seek to respect and retain its personality (quirks and all.)

I bid the project out to several contractors using the same project scope and description.  Mike's estimate was at the lower end of the range and of all the contractors, he took the most time to explain the breakdown of costs.  Furthermore, prior to my awarding the project contract to him, Mike went out of the way to do significant legwork and fact finding related to permitting and local regulations.  He had no obligation to do this, but the effort was greatly appreciated and certainly helped sway my decision in his favor.

It became known to us that we would need to hire a structural engineer to remain in compliance with local inspections and regulations.  Mike did a great job as an intermediate contact for the engineer, and also attempted to keep the project cost and scope expansion under control.

Throughout the project the job site was kept as clean and orderly as could be reasonably expected, which was no small feat given the scope of the work and the confined spaces they were operating in.  

Whenever there was an unexpected complication that required additional work or expense, Mike would take the time to lay out the various options (and the pros and cons of each) for how to proceed.  Throughout the entire project, I found his communication skills to be exemplary.  This was very helpful logistically, since I was often away at work while the project was in flight.  It also established and maintained a sense of trust between us.  Mike would keep me posted with regular status updates, would meet with me regularly to discuss the progress and various issues that he thought should be brought to attention, and was always very responsive to questions I had.  He was very easy to get a hold of, which I appreciated tremendously.

And of course, I am extremely happy with how everything wrapped up.  There was one significant increase in project scope and cost related to the stone footing at grade - something that Mike had warned would throw an element of uncertainty into his estimate - but this was handled very fairly and expertly.  the work looks great, and my neighbors have all commented on the professionalism of his crew and the impressive final outcome. 

I would not hesitate to hire him again for any project in my home - whether it be small or large - and would not hesitate to refer him to friends or family.
