"I bought a 20-something year old home, and was concerned about the condition of the dryer vent and chimney.

did a thorough inspection and found nothing needed to be cleaned, fixed, or replaced. He also showed me how to light my fireplace. I appreciated his helpfulness and integrity. I would definitely call him again about vents, chimney, or carpet cleaning (the other part of the business)."

"I wanted to have the chimney and fireplace of my recently purchased home inspected and cleaned (if necessary) because I was unsure how well it had been maintained by the previous owner. They were pretty busy when I called during the holiday season, but I was able to book an appointment for just after Christmas.

arrived on time and was friendly and professional. He inspected the chimney and fireplace and determined that it was in good condition and that a cleaning wasn't necessary at this time. He also educated me about what maintenance was likely to be needed in the future, what safety issues to watch for, how to most efficiently use my fireplace, and (since I don't plan to use it much) how to determine in the future when the chimney needs to be swept. He also left a free sample bottle of carpet cleaner (he has a floor cleaning business, too). I definitely plan to use

again in the future."

How to avoid chimney repair scams

John Pilger of the highly rated Chief Chimney Services in Smithtown, N.Y., says shady chimney companies target homeowners in his area.

These scams lure homeowners via phone solicitations, door-to-door sales pitches or ads offering too-good-to-be-true prices.

Raleigh Chimney Repair Services Reviews

promptly came out and gave me an estimate. The person on the phone gave me a rough estimate for about $1000, so when the actual estimate came in over $2000, I was quite surprised. (I never really dug into that; there was probably a reasonable explanation.) They gave me references to call, and I called several and got good feedback on their work. I had no way to gauge if $2000 was a good price or not, but I went ahead and had them do the work. They scheduled the work about two to three weeks out. The actual work was fine. They did the work in a day and cleaned up well; I could hardly tell they were there. The chimney itself went back about halfway - not perfect, but the foundation was badly deteriorated, and there was only so much they could do. At least it now has the support so it shouldn't get worse. They also charged a few hundred dollars of extra expenses, but that was clear in the contract. Overall, they did everything they could and did it well."

came out (02/16/07) and took measurments of the chimney. Said new cover would be available anywhere from 2 days to two or three weeks. Chimey cover was installed on 02/21/07.

was here when he said he would be. I expected the chimney cap would also need to be replaced however

said the current cap was fine which means he did'nt try to sell me something I didn't need."

"Our sun room has four skylights and all were showing signs of water leaks and damage to the ceiling in the area around the skylight. Mr.

was prompt in providing an estimate and in following up with the work at the agreed upon time. He was on site to supervise his crew and to make sure I was satisfied as work progressed. He recommended to save money that we not replace the skylights, but remove the framing and apply a silicone seal. He did not promise that the leaks would stop on skylights over 15 years old, but he indicated that this was his best advice. He was reasonably confident it would stop the leaks. The crew finished promptly and cleaned up except for a few nails that the magnet missed. I was concerned about excess silicone around the skylights that was unsightly from inside the room. He came back as promised one week later and improved the look, but it is not as perfect (looking) as I had hoped. However, the most important outcome after three months is NO LEAKS!!!"

"They knew just what they were doing. They did charge quite a bit to repair the chimney, but the price doesn't bother me as long as they do a good job. I liked how quickly they worked."

"They made a really good first impression. I didn't compare the price with anyone else, but I thought it was pretty good. It is a difficult job to do, so they deserve the money."
