San Francisco Chimney Repair Services

"The job went very well. They did the roof in about a day and a half! To do this they worked very hard and at various times had 5-11 men on the roof. They were polite, friendly enough, and we were pleased. Of course since the roof was done so recently, and no rain has come yet, we can not say if it works perfectly or not. But it looks good. And, they ...more give an excellent warranty. We got quotes from a couple of other roofing companies. One was a more expensive but would have taken more time to do the project. The other thought we could pay more and gave us a very expensive price. We are glad we chose

."

"Everything went as expected - which for home repairs is unusual. I called for an estimate and after a brief discussion with Bill of what could possibly be the issue, he decided he should come by and check it out before providing a quote. We scheduled an appointment and he arrived on time. This would be my 2nd quote from a chimney ...more repair company. He explained what was needed to get the chimney to a safe working condition. At first I was alarmed because his quote did not include a new liner. This made his quote much cheaper than the previous company I contacted. Then he explained, in detail, why he believed I do not need a new liner. He left and I quickly began researching whether or not a new liner was required for my particular usage. As it turns out, it's not. Some repairs to the mortar joints was all that was required and some other minor work mentioned above. I booked an appointment for the repairs with Bill. He and his assistant

arrived on time. They were both extremely professional, explained all the work that would take place and cleaned up nicely when the job was complete. Bill also suggested that we purchase a smoke guard to make the fire more efficient and prevent smoke building in the house. We decided to wait and try it out a few times first but I expect he'll be back out to make this addition. He definitely knows what he's talking about when it comes to chimneys. Finally, Bill also pointed out some additional repair work that was required on our roof - which he didn't have to do. It involved a custom made stainless steal plate that should have been replaced years ago. He said that it is most likely the original plate (nearly 80 years old) and should be fixed right away. It probably wasn't replaced earlier because it's custom work and therefore, very expensive. Although this is not work that he performs, he explained what the cost should be when we call out for quotes and also explained what needed to be done if we wanted to repair it ourselves. He even gave us some sealant tape to secure it until we get it fixed. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family."
