"hired Chimney and Duct Experts based on their reviews on Google and Angis list to address a potential problem with a roof leak near my chimney. They quickly determined the flashing of my chimney was probably the reason for the leak, so they gave me a quote to rebuild the chimney flashing for $1300. They were able to do the work that same day, which I thought was great. However, the leak continued, so I moved on to roofers to help figure out the problem. I had 5 different roofing and repair companies come out, and each one said that the flashing on the chimney was terribly done, using a sealant instead of metal step flashing as is standard. I called back Chimney and Duct Experts and spoke with a supervisor. He agreed to come and redo the flashing, but insisted that fully rebuilding the flashing is only done when you get a new roof. Ended up being incorrectly done again, and I'll have to pay someone now to fix it correctly."

"Absolutely perfect service in every way. Thomas explained my options: my existing dryer vent could simply be cleaned out, or it could be improved: straighter path, safer materials. Replaced the whole vent, at my request. Disassembled and thoroughly cleaned out the inside of my dryer and the surrounding area of the basement. I happen to love data. Thomas measured the airflow to the outdoor end of the vent, before and after the whole process — and the airflow increased by 10 times! My clothes had been taking five hours to dry, and now they dry completely in just one hour. I couldn't be more satisfied."

It's not just the bid that sells you. It's the character of the person, the talent, the experience and the love of the work. Devotion to the task and the trust you feel. After all, you are asking someone to come into your home, come into your life, and help you realize a personal vision...beautifully, professionally and comfortably. Let me introduce myself. My name is Rob, owner of F.P Seaside Painting. Wherever you live in Rhode Island, myself and our team of local licensed and insured contractors would love to talk with you about your next painting project, because I believe that we are the painters you are looking for. We are dependable, local artisans...mindful of your budget and meticulous with the brush. F.P. Seaside Painting has been in business for over 10 years We are here to help you with your painting needs. Please give us a call for dependable professionals that love what they do...

"We hired Seaside Painting, owned and operated by Rob Robinson, to paint our two decks and two sets of stairs. Rob quoted us “a four day job.” We were impressed with his proposed process of sinking nails, cleaning, sanding, sealing, and two coats of deck paint. We understood and expected weather delays. The job started August 30 and never ended. Well, we ended it on September 17. We had had enough of lack of communication and responses to calls and texts, no shows, poor attitude, and rudeness. When he picked up his ladders and final check, he said to my husband, “You are the crazy man who covered the deck and expected me to paint the next day.” Before the hurricane/rain storm, we covered all the rails that he had sanded and left open and unsealed in an effort to reduce the wood from swelling and from taking a longer time to dry out. On September 13, we texted him asking if he or his crew would be coming to work. While we waited, we spent four hours finishing the painting of the front stairs and rails ourselves. Three days later he responded. By that time we had had enough and told him to pick up his ladders and that we would finish the work ourselves, split the final payment with him which we thought was more than fair. This time he immediately responded and threatened to have his attorney put a lien on our home unless we paid $150 more than we offered. Bottom line: what his contract states as his work ethics, “open and honest communication,” his “proven process” for decks, is unfounded. To his credit, a day after he picked up his ladders and final check, he did apologize via text and mentioned that his company “went bad” and that he “should have been able to finish on time.”"

FAQs for chimney cap installation and replacement projects in Taftville, CT

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.
