"Would give 0 stars if possible. Willing to take money for a job upfront and not really willing to follow through with all of the work. Have a brand new pellet stove I can’t use because they “don’t” do permit work. I’m not sure who they think is supposed to get it approved and provide the documentation since they pulled and submitted the permit. You’d expect for this kind of money (~$8K for this job) that all aspects of the job would be taken care of instead of the homeowner having to figure out how to get the inspector the uL rating on some foil wrapping the contractor used. Beyond frustrated with this company and will never use again. They took initial payment in July of 2024 and only have months of phone calls did they finally do the job only to bail on completion at the permit stage. -1 stars?"

We are a chimney and gutter company that prides itself on our customer service, and we stand behind our 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. We do all phases of chimney cleaning, work & repair including any and all types of masonry construction. We also handle all phases of gutter repair and fabrication of new gutters, including soffit and fascia construction/repair.

"I signed a contract with North American Chimney on February 1st. I was provided an estimate on the spot and was happy to get a project started. The first appointment was canceled due to a blizzard. On the rescheduled date, I notified the receptionist there was snow and ice on the roof, and was told, “we work in these conditions all the time”. The installer arrived, and said it was too icy. I was fine, and rescheduled. On the third attempt, I again called and said, it seemed “icy to me”. The receptionist said they would make the decision when they arrived. Upon arrival, the installer said it was dangerous and he would prefer to reschedule. I agreed. He called the owner in front of me, and said, “the owner does not want us on the roof”. This was an outright lie. It was the installer’s decision. When he hung up the phone, I inquired why he did that. “It’s just easier that way to say it was you”. On the fourth attempt, the chase cover, and two caps were installed. The roof was clear, but it was bitterly cold. I asked if that would prevent any caulk from curing; “we work in all type of weather”. I thought it was finally done. Two days later, the garage was flooded with a white, milky water. I collected nearly four gallons of water in buckets. When I called, I was told the installer said I had another issue on the roof and that was the problem. I said, it is definitely your issue. After some back and forth, I was able to get an appointment. When the installer arrived, he was rude and accusatory. That was, until he saw the collection of white water, and when I pointed to the two flues in the garage, and sunlight was visibly shining in. The appointment was clearly tense, and I was glad when they were done. Following the replacement of the roof, there was a downpour with wind, and leak appeared on the ceiling upstairs. At first, the obvious culprit was the roofer. That was, until I got up and inspected the quality of the chase cover/cap installation. (see attached pictures). After several hours, we proved the roof was not the issue, and I called North American Chimney. The receptionist said she would pull the paperwork and get back to me. I told her, the original installer made me uncomfortable and I wanted someone else from the company to correct the problem. She agreed. The next day, I was told by receptionist, the owner said the original installer would have to repair the situation. As was communicated to me “I had no alternative then to give him the option to fix it”. Two days, later, with no further communication, not even to schedule the original installer, I called and indicated I would take care of this myself. It is very unfortunate that with this company, the word of the customer has no value. I’ve had to defend myself that issues the installer left truly existed, and also, I’m told that I have no alternative but to have an installer come to my house and generate a tense situation. At no time did the owner reach out and try to resolve the situation. See the pictures. This is what $3000 of materials and installation looks like, and now I’m left to deal with it. And by the way, the website’s primary screen says, “Honesty, integrity, and Reliable Service with a 100% Money Back Guarantee”. I wonder if that will happen."

FAQs for chimney cap installation and replacement projects in Woodstock, 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.
