Q: How long does roof repair take?

• <div><p>The actual construction time required to repair your roof may only be a few hours, but it could also be a couple of days for extensive repairs or a large roof. But you may find yourself having to wait weeks for the insurance claim to go through, including having the adjuster visit your home and make their report. After your claim has been approved, there may be a wait time for roofing materials or to find time on a contractor's schedule.</p></div>

Q: Is it normal for chimneys to leak a little during heavy rain?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not normal for a chimney to leak even a little bit during heavy rain. A chimney in good condition will keep rain from seeping into the chimney or house, so if you notice a small leak during a rainstorm, it&rsquo;s time to call a pro for inspection. There could be damage to the flashing, chimney crown, or flue liner.</p></div>

Q: Does insurance cover a roof tarp?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-get-know-your-homeowners-insurance.htm">Homeowners insurance</a> may cover the cost to tarp a roof if the type of damage falls within your coverage. For example, roof damage caused by a natural disaster may fall within your plan, and the cost of a temporary tarp may be incorporated. In general, however, simply tarping your roof for renovations will often not fall under insurance coverage. </p></div>

Q: Will magnets stick to a metal roof?

• <div><p>Generally, magnets do stick to a metal roof, though certain metals may not be magnetic. In that case, you can use self-adhesive hooks designed for outdoor use or plastic clips that hook onto your gutter or the edge of your roof. But if your metal roof is made of steel, aluminum, or copper, you're in luck&mdash;those are all magnetic metals.</p></div>

Q: Does rock salt make your car rust?

• <div><p>Salt is corrosive to metal, and when it&rsquo;s mixed with air and water, that corrosion increases. While this compound can cause your car to rust, it takes years to cause damage. However, once you see rust, it&rsquo;s probably well advanced. Winterize your car and avoid driving before or immediately after ice storms to reduce rock salt effects.</p></div>

When we made contact, chimney sweeping went fine. However, we have called and emailed several times and Airstream Duct Cleaning simply does not respond. This is very frustrating and not good customer service. We will take our business elsewhere (if we can find another chimney sweep!).

Two person crew protected the surrounding area and cleaned the chimney as expected. The crew was friendly and inspected for any issues, none were noted. I would definitely recommend them and the price was great through Angie's List
