Get matched with top chimney cap installers and replacers in Santa Maria, CA

"They are wonderful! They Inspected my chimney and repaired grout on the outside and reinstalled some tiles I had laid. They also made a new concrete cap and spark arrester on the top because there wasn’t one before. They cleaned and resurfaced the firebox to prep for the gas logs, ordered and delivered them and then set everything up and showed me how to use it all. They were very courteous, knowlegable and easy to work with, their prices were fair and they were very accommodating to my difficult schedule."

"They clean my chimney every winter/spring. I like their personal service. George is helpful and not pushy. He knows his stuff. they charge a little more than others for their basic service (chimney sweep) but he is very affordable on anything else you might need (I needed some cracks repaired and a new gas pipe). They are professionals and friendly. I like that he works with his sons. <br /> George had installed some Solatube skylights in my hallway a couple years ago, and this year he "talked me" to get one more in the living room. They have really nice new ceiling fixtures... it looks great. He installed it at the same visit, even though I had not scheduled for that. no hustle, just happy to "Brighten my day" as he said. <br /> <br /> Now I can enjoy nice evenings by the fire without worrying about safety, and during the day, my house is bright as day! <br /> I recommend them for anything to do with fireplaces and also I highly recommend the Solatube skylight. It's a great way to get natural light. <br /> <br />"

"It went excellent. They were prompt and performed everything to my liking. They brought me lots of different tile samples to choose from and there was no high pressure sales tactics. If there was something that I wanted changed they were quick to accommodate. They are the top roofer in the Antelope Valley."

"We have had it cleaned before by other providers and FORDEN'S did a much better job. It was CLEAN! There was no soot left behind. They were very helpful as well."

"We wanted our air ducts cleaned for a home we purchased.  The ducts were very dirty.  I could reach my hand in and grab a bunch of dirt...yuck.   <br /> I got about 4 estimates and Jose from West Chimney was the least expensive and had some good reviews so decided to go with Jose. <br /> Jose stayed in good communication with me during the bid process, scheduling and then actually coming out to do the work. He was on time, and very friendly.   <br /> Based on the number of ducts we had, Jose estimated he would be done by about noon.  Well the dirt had other plans.  Jose realized how much work was going to be involved and let us know he would not be done by the original estimated time.  Instead he finished at about 4pm!  I don't think he even had lunch.  He stuck with his estimate for the final cost and the ducts and fireplace looked amazing.  We gave him a little extra due to the difficulty of the job.   <br /> Although our ducts will never get as dirty as they were, we would definitely use Jose again for duct cleaning or fireplace work.  <br /> <br />"

"I called yesterday to have them look at my furnace after another company couldn't fix it and recomended replacement. Chris arrived this morning on time. He spent about an hour and a half and found the problem. It wasn't getting air because of a blocked inlet duct, so it was shutting down when it ran out of oxygen. He charged $210 as advertised and saved me about $5000 for the new furnace I almost bought. Highly recommend. Honest, reasonable and competent. <br />"

"Mike was great in listening to what we wanted and making suggestions. He didn't try to oversell us items we didn't need.  For example, we felt our cabinets were fine and he agreed. We asked if we should reface them and he told us that refacing cabinets can be labor intensive and doing so isn't a way to save money. Another designer said that putting new countertops on existing cabinets was "tacky" and yet my kitchen looks amazing as if the counters and cabinets were installed together. Mike's team was careful and didn't make one mark on the cabinets when they took off the old counter. <br /> I liked all the sub work as well. Glass tile looked great, the quartz countertops were perfect, and the electrical and plumbing work was done well, too. They installed the new appliances quickly and we've had no issues so far. <br /> Everyone showed up on time or contacted us if they were going to be late (which was rare -- I believe we had just one day where the electrician had to reschedule). They kept dust to a minimum by putting up plastic to contain the area and cleaned up every day before they left, both inside and out. Total job took about 3 weeks, just like Mike said.  <br /> I would definitely recommend Cal Coast Construction and will use them in the future. <br />"

"I purchased a home which was built in 1950 and was sitting on a crumbling brick foundation. We got a few estimates as the floors were uneven and weak. Built Strong Construction provided photos, references and their price was not the highest nor lowest. They did an incredible job, replaced the entire damaged brick foundation and within just a week I have a brand new concrete foundation! My floors are even, supported and I’m very impressed. Thank"

"Here's what actually happened: <br /> <br /> 1. Noticing our gas fireplace, the vendor asked if we'd like it checked for carbon monoxide. With his sensor he found detectable (5-8 ppm) CO just above the glass doors when the doors were open and fire on. He said that any number other than "0" was not acceptable and that the fireplace should not be used with the doors open. <br /> 2. The vendor then looked at our vent and after a brief investigation said that they could not clear it. He said that under slab vents were problematic and recommended venting through the wall or ceiling and offered to provide a bid if we wanted to go forward. Meantime he said the dryer should not be used. <br /> 3. On the Internet we found a company selling a drill-driven vent cleaning brush. It cost about $80. With it we were able to clear the vent in a couple of hours (we have no experience cleaning dryer vents). <br /> 4. We <strong>DID NOT CALL</strong> the vendor asking for a refund. RATHER we SENT a two-page letter describing how we solved the problem and asking for a refund. <br /> 5. We recently heard from the vendor and he was emphatic that he never received our letter. Subsequently we had a long talk with him and re-sent the original letter along with updated information. The vendor was quite apologetic and promptly sent a refund of the $89 fee we had paid for the visit (less than what would have been charged had the vent been cleared). <br /> 6. Our dryer continues to perform fine. <br /> 7. The vendor has agreed in a letter sent to us that in the future discussions with customers regarding "low levels of CO spillage" customers will be informed that some manufacturers may deem small amounts of CO spillage acceptable while others may not. And he said he would urge that the manufacturer be consulted. <br /> 8. We placed a sensitive CO monitor we got at Home Depot next to our fireplace. So far it has never detected any CO. (The alarm is supposed to go off if levels are above 30 ppm. <br /> <br /> Based on the recent response and the refund our original ratings have been adjusted. The vendor has been in business 30 years and maintains that their primary interest is the safety of customers. We accept this and appreciate that our awareness has been raised regarding risks associated with fireplaces and dryer vents. <br /> <br /> <strong>ORIGINAL ></strong> .This company told us they could not clean the vent with a brush so that they would have to do major construction just to clean the vent. We used the brush to clean it ourselves, finding out his story was not true. The worker did not hook up our dryer correctly after the job, which caused a fire hazard. We asked him to refund some of our money, however, he never even returned our calls."

"It went excellent, we've been using them before and they are the most professional company that we dealt with. The owner was excellent, he knows what he is doing. They provide quality products with a reasonable price and they clean up after themselves."
