Get matched with top chimney cap installers and replacers in Windham, NH

"My wife and I hired Jason approximately two years ago to repoint our chimney and replace some bricks that he assessed as problematic before adding a screen porch onto our house (the chimney runs through the porch). This is not an inexpensive job. We also brought Jason back to add new lead flashing to the chimney when the porch was being built. After the screen porch was added, we noticed several leaks in the porch roof coming from the chimney area. We originally thought the leaks were due to a step-flashing issue. The contractor who built the porch was extremely responsive and assessed the roof and step-flashing and was unable to determine a leak due to a roofing issue. As the screen porch made it easier to access the upper part of the chimney, I went up on the roof and it was evident that Jason missed repointing several joints and despite sealing the chimney we had moss growing out of many joints. We subsequently noticed the roof on the older part of our house was failing and we ended up doing an entire roof replacement. Before the new roof, we had Jason come back out to fix some of the joints he missed. He was extremely difficult to get in touch with. We had to get in touch with him through the contractor who built the screen porch. He promised to come back and seal those joints which he never did. After the new roof, new ice and water, and new step-flashing around the chimney, we still had the leaks. The new roofer ran several hose tests and determined we had a problem with the chimney. After reinspecting, it was obvious that many joints still lacked sufficient mortar repair. We have kept Jason informed throughout the process, but he never returns our e-mails and is completely unresponsive. I spent hours on the roof myself sealing joints, adding mortar, and then resealing the entire chimney. The chimney has not leaked again since my work. Here are Jason’s own written words that he has not honored, “Yes I garuntee (sic) all my work with a ten year warranty. And again the estimate is as if I were approaching my own home so the idea is you don’t need to worry about your chimney again other than cleaning the flues.” In short, we trusted Jason with an expensive job and when we had an issue, he was entirely unresponsive. We even gave Jason an opportunity to respond to this review before posting. He did not respond. We are giving Jason three stars to be fair as we believe he did a relatively good job on the lower portion of our chimney. Moreover, our situation seemed to be a difficult situation to assess. However, our experience is that Jason will not respond if you have an issue, and the upper portion of our chimney was poorly done. Additionally, as the expert, it was Jason’s job to properly assess our chimney. We should not have had to do any of the work ourselves (or paid for additional materials), and Jason should have given the same level of detail to the upper third of our chimney as the lower third. It is worth noting that Jason was very good at communicating when he was bidding the job and throughout the job. If you hire Jason and have a problem with his work, you should likely not expect a response or remedy from him."

"I hired this company to repair my mother’s chimney. They came when they said they would, did a beautiful job and cleaned up the entire area once completed. My mother was happy and so was I as I do not live local so I went with them on a limb. Great work and great crew!"

"Ed and his crew are great, they repointed complete chimney fixed chimney crown installed new chimney cap and water proofed chimney as well. Would highly recommend this business and will make sure to use them for future projects!"

"Excellent! Sam and Ivan came when they said they would, gave me the second best estimate and were very enthusiastic to do the job and that's why I chose them. They took a 20% deposit and returned in like 2 weeks because cover had to be manufactured. Arrived day before 2' snowstorm and had it all installed in 90 minutes. Excellent company! I even had them give me an estimate to repoint my front steps. Can't speak more highly of these gentlemen! Great job guys!"

"It was wonderful. They were quick and efficient. They were very nice and polite. They were professional."

"We called several of the "Gold Star" roofers on the Angie's List website and they were the only roofers that came to our house to give us a price estimate. Of all the other roofers only one other even called us back. The rest never called. We were very disappointed with that. Robert Millard stayed in contact with us from the first call and was easy to contact throughout the whole project. Robert and his crew were all very. experienced, knowledgeable and easy to talk to and ask questions. Overall they did a great job. The only negative issue was with a chimney cap that we are trying to resolve. I would definitely use them again.

"Just the facts: Our house is two-stories and 1700 sq ft; not large. The quoted price for a new roof, repair/replace/clean the gutters, and rebuild/cap one chimney was @ $19,000. Once the work was started and shingles removed, Sean said the wood on the roof was in bad shape and needed to be replaced as well. This would add the price of plywood (they used MDF) plus two extra days of labor for 6 workers. For this he charged an additional 46,000, bringing the cost of the job to @65,000. Lesson learned: ask for a quote that includes the chance that the wood on your roof would need to be replaced with plywood. If we’d known BEFORE they tore off the shingles that it would triple the cost, we would have shopped around for a better price. The workers were excellent and the job was well-done; the project was simply way too costly."

"Service was performed as requested. Update of old electrical wiring was undertaken successfully so new lighting could be installed. I would use this client again.

"Very well. Job was started and completed on time. Workers are very professional and they cleaned all areas upon completion."

"Scott's Roofing did an amazing job. I hired them to replace my garage roof last year and they did such a good job that I called him back you to replace my house roof as it had also reached the end of it's life. They were there within a week! Did 90% of the job on a Friday and finished work on Saturday Morning. I could not be happier with how much attention they paid to installation with proper details around the ridge drip and flashed edges. I would hire again in a heartbeat."
