Get matched with top chimney cap installers and replacers in Elwood, IN

"It went as expected. We had moved in and didn't know the condition of our chimney. He did a good job and was very clean. <br />"

"After inspecting the chimney, I was told it really didn't need cleaning, and since I had the logs etc done last year I indicated, that I really didn't want that done either. I told them that I just was looking for assurances that I wasn't inviting a potential fire hazard. My fireplace is gas and is only started a couple times a year which accounted for the cleanliness. They were ver professional and I got what I wanted, so I was glad to have the service provided."

"We contacted Baun Chimney after the inspection report for the home we purchased to have him clean and personally inspect the chimney to give us a second opinion.  Michael arrived on time and executed the cleaning of the chimney, he lit the gas fireplace and confirmed its functionality and was very honest with us that the chimney had been converted from wood to gas and being that if we left it gas, the chimney would not need future cleanings.  So I appreciated the honesty of Michael. <br /> He climbed on the roof and did confirm the inspection report and took pictures of the issues and explained that he could return in the next week and execute on the masonry work and he would recommend that we cap the chimney with a waterproofing sealant that would protect the chimney for a minimum of ten years.  We agreed to move forward and Michael returned the next week and performed the work as estimated and the cap looks great. <br /> I would always recommend Michael and his company due to the great ownership and pride he takes in his work and name in the business. <br />"

"This was in a house we just bought and it was so dirty there was visible creosote peeling off the chimney even at a very low level in the fireplace. But now it's clean and usable."

"Moss Home Improvements did a wonderful job!  Bev kept us up to date on when the repairs would be made.  Weather is a problem this time of year.  George stopped by to check up on the progress and make sure we knew exactly what to tell the gutter installation crew on the placement of the extra down spouts. They cleaned up all litter made in the installation process. <br /> I am so very happy I found Moss Home Improvements on Angie's List!!!"

"Everything went great. He called because he was available early and wanted to know if it would be ok to come earlier then planned. When he arrived, he introduced himself and verified the scope of work requested. He went straight to work. When complete he explained everything he did, showed pictures of things that would need work, and answered all of my questions. It was only $150 for the inspection and cleaning and I received my receipt with the pictures he had taken within minutes. He was quick, clean and very professional. Thank you Mad Hatter for a great experience."

"I purchased the $129 chimney sweep and inspection through Angie's list. I was contacted almost immediately by their very pleasant to schedule the appointment. John and Zack arrived on time. The fireplace and chimney were inspected and cleaned. All work was completed in a half hour. They were professional, polite, and very clean. I always call Ely Stokes for this work and they always provide A+ service. I will definitely call them again."

"I have a rather rare roof style- flat, not low slope, flat.  It was pretty much wood decking covered with tar paper, then asphalt, then rock. I've come to learn that this is called built-up roof or BUR.  My house was built in the 60's when this was more common but these roofs are prone to leaking and I wanted to replace my roof with a membrane (TPO) roof. This really limited my options for contractors since only companies that do commercial roof (ie on walmarts) can install membrane roofs.  Most companies either wouldn't do a  residential roof cause they aren't worth their time or  would charge an astronomical price (~20k).   <br />    I got quotes from several companies, some of which didn't seem like they had ever installed a membrane roof and would only give me a 2 year warranty.  Since I don't plan to be in this house for more than 5 years, I really wanted a good, transferable warranty to make it easier to sell the house.  Duramax gave me a competitive quote and a 10 year warranty (much better than other companies) and it was clear that they had experience with this type of roof.  After receiving the quote and talking with an architect I decided the best best thing to do was to put a layer of tapered insulation under the membrane to add a little slope to the roof to prevent water pooling. Steve met me at my work to talk with me about how to do this, went back to my house to get measurements again was able to work with me on the price to include the insulation.  After I agreed to go with them, Steve met me at work again to go over the paperwork.  He saved me a lot of time and hassle by meeting me when/ where I wanted.  They started the work as soon as they could and the weather cooperated, which was about 2 weeks later. <br />    They showed up with a crew of 5-6 and Steve and the owner were either there or available to make sure things went smoothly.  Tearing off the old roof was harder than we expected.  There were several layers to the roof and they could have just put the new roof on top of this but I wanted them to get it down the the decking underneath to make sure it was solid.  They were happy to do whatever I wanted even if it meant and extra day of work.  It was clear that they were focused on keeping the customer happy.  There was  a couple  places where the decking was rotten and they replaced this without charging me more.  There were also a couple of issues when they were installing the insulation regarding the lip-edge around the roof (critical with a low-slope roof).  I called Steve and he was out there immediately to make sure everything was done right and I was happy.  He was very attentive to the customers needs. When it came time to install them membrane, they brought in their "commercial roof" guy that clearly had a lot of experience with this type of roof.  They did a very good job installing it and made sure I was happy with it.   In the end I fully expected the bill to be a little higher than the quote due to the unexpected issues they had to deal with but they didn't ask for a penny more. <br />   Overall I would highly recommend Duramax since they did quality work for a good price, treat their customers very well, and stand behind their work. <br />"

"The provider arrived an hour later than specified, but I felt this was understandable given it was peak season. The service men were extremely friendly, professional, and did a very thorough inspection. They went step by step through their report, explained everything, and informed me that I would need the chimney torn down to the roof line and rebuilt before removing some kreosote inside the wall and parging the lintel. <br> <br>The visit ended with the lead sweep saying that they would follow up with a quote in the next couple of weeks. I followed up by email a few weeks later when I didn't receive a quote and received no response. I followed up again about a month later asking if the problem was with matching the brick on the chimney stack and if they could offer alternative repair suggestions. No response. I left a phone message and an email about a month later asking if they'd be willing to do a short consult with a local mason who was able to fix the stack and find matching brick but he wanted advice from someone with chimney experience. I made clear that I would pay for the consult and then have them do the cleaning and parging. No response. The local mason contacted them directly on March 26th. At first they sounded interested in the consult and then stopped responding. I contacted them on April 20th and received an email back on the 25th saying that they'd been out sick for the past week but would contact the mason that very afternoon. As of today, April 29th, they still haven't contacted him. <br> <br>In short, this company seems to do great with one visit cleanings based on other reviews, but doesn't follow through on quotes and repairs. I feel like I wasted $100 and an hour of my time on the inspection since I'll just have the next company to reinspect it for a similar fee. I would not use them if you suspect you need more than a standard cleaning. <br>"

"The owner, Robert Helm came out and talked with me about what he was going to do. About meshing (blending) in the addition to the original house and taking down the chimney and closing the hole that it would leave and about the leak we had where the garage and the original house come together (that was supposed to be fixed when we had the roof re-done in Dec. 2003). Then Mr. Helm and his crew came out and did all the work on June 9, 2016. Mr. Helm helped take down the old chimney and nothing came crashing down on the new addition or on the ground. The crew worked all day. Mr. Helm left to get rid of the old chimney parts and shingles from the the area of the original house that were removed to mesh the new addition into. Mr. Helm came back when the job was finished and climbed up the roof and checked all the work. He told me about the California valleys that were done on the addition to the original house and he told me about the repair to the roof area where the chimney was and he also checked over the repair to the roof where the leak had been . He told me that his worker said that there were several items missing that they would have put on that area of the roof that leaked after the re-roofing in Dec. 2003. Mr. Helm said to let him know if the roof leaks or the repair leaks anytime. We just had a big rainstorm (today is June 14, 2016) and my rain gauge shows over an inch of rain and at times it was coming down very hard AND I have NO LEAKS , not in the addition, not where the chimney was AND NOT WHERE THE LEAK HAS BEEN. Added note: The company that did our roof in Dec. 2003 had come out at least 2 times to fix the leak where the garage and the house meet AFTER they re-roofed the entire house with no success. It would take many calls before we could get a call back. We honestly got tired of contacting them and gave up . That part is our fault. I want to thank Robert Helm and his crew from R&R Roofing!!! We will sing their praises to all who ask about a roofer!!! Mr Helm and his entire crew were very polite, careful of our property and hard workers!"
