Recent Chimney Cap Repair Reviews in Grand Rapids
- Superior Chimney Services CorporationThe experience went very well. Derek and Charlie were great technicians. Derek was very up front about the extra cost because it had been 12 years of no cleaning. We were lucky it wasn't worse! They were very knowledgeable and took pictures of work performed and emailed it.
- Boonstra Masonry & RepairHe did an excellent job of reducing the height if the chimney and capping it. He was polite, friendly and efficient.
- The Chimney Specialist LLCAndrew at the Chimney Specialist was awesome,. He took care of our chimney issues quickly before the spring rains and at 1/3 lower cost than the other guys quoted. The repair was very nicely done, so much that you don't notice a difference between the touched and untouched areas. If I hadn't seen the mortar pulled out, I would never have known it was repaired. The concrete cap looks nice, very professional and sturdy. The other guy said our damper was broken and needed to be replaced. Andrew noted it was installed backwards, and didn't need to be replaced
- The Chimney Specialist LLCI am very satisfied with this repair. Andrew showed up on the same day I contacted him and he was able to recommend a permanent repair to my cracked chimney cap for far less than I expected. When he was unable to acquire a pre-made chimney cap from his usual sources, he located one elsewhere so the work could be completed before winter when snow and ice would cause more damage
- Boonstra Masonry & RepairBoonstra Masonry was fantastic all around! They were very responsive to my phone call. The owner provided me an estimate fairly quickly and once we decided to move forward, his crews came within that week. They performed the job while I was at work and when I got home... tada! The experience was a positive one and I have zero complaints
- Ellis Brick and BlockMy impression of Randy started off on the wrong foot when I left a voicemail asking to schedule the work that he had quoted and didn't hear anything back for weeks. Finally we connected and he told me I needed to physically mail in my quote with my signed acceptance, and once he received it he would put it into his calendar. He doesn't strike me as the most organized, but I've later learned that he was extremely busy and I'm sure the back office stuff falls lower on his priority list at those times. However, after these initial disappointments I could not be more pleased with Randy and his work. He responded promptly to any questions that I had and his actual work was phenomenal. Despite having an older style brick, he was able to match it nearly exactly. The chimney looks beautiful. I can see why he stays so busy - his work is fantastic and I would definitely recommend his services to anyone. Thanks Randy
- The Chimney Specialist LLCI highly recommend checking with this company if you have any issues with your chimney. Very knowledgeable. Seems to care about the customer. Will give you an honest opinion even if i means he isn't going to get your business. Very helpful!
- Above Roofing IncThey are prompt and response. It took less than a week between estimate and repair/work. Less than a month passed and roof leaked again in some area. The company was called and they come out on the same day and inspected the roof and did the second repair. No further leaks to date.
- B & B CHIMNEY SWEEPSWe were a little surprised at the high price for everything they did for us that day but we felt they were very professional. They laid down mats before they worked, cleaned up extremely well and were in and out of the house in a couple of hours.
- The Chimney Specialist LLCAndrew first came over to inspect my chimney. My wife and I just bought a house in Heritage Hill and weren't sure of the chimney condition. He said everything looked to be in good shape, but that we should install some sort of damper. He let me know the associated costs of the two different options, and then gave me his recommendation (the cheaper option!). Once we approved his work, he immediately let me know when he'd be available to install. He came to perform the installation the same day the flue top damper came in to his supplier. As first time homeowners, he also gave us some great advice on how to care for our fireplace/chimney, and when to perform maintenance (chimney sweeping). Andrew is highly recommended

"The team did an excellent job. Everyone was very professional, and pleasant to work with. The gutter installation was exactly as promised.

"Overall I am very pleased with the work performed by W.M.G.B! The price was very fair and the installer was on time and quick to finish the job. The only thing preventing me from giving excellent marks all around was that the installer misunderstood our project request and switched a couple vented windows but the quality of the work and the care he took to complete it were well above average so I am not worried about it!
