The contract was to have one coat primer and two coats of painting, but today when we do the roof, we found the paint peels around the chimney and there were no primer at all. I am so disappointed!

Good. Would recommend for foundation inspection. Haven't contracted with them to actually fix anything yet but might get a quote from a few competing firms before deciding. Overall, I paid ~$500 for the inspection and was satisfied by the level of detail and service in regards to the inspection.

"Rep does not respond to calls, texts, emails. Paid $17,000 upfront after 17 months the required engineers drawing submitted and permit obtained. Concrete footer for screen extension poured (at more than twice estimate). Two fence posts were also replaced. Now told screen and roof price increased $13.000 over orig estimate and rep will not explain what the differences were to justify additional cost. He keeps saying I asked for an upgrade, I did not. After getting him on the phone a couple weeks ago, he asked if he could call me back then no call back. After two weeks, I fired him today and now he wants to charge me for work he billed me for that was not done. His name is Peter Evins. I contacted his superior with North Star at their main office months ago when I could not get a response from Peter. He became upset that I was contacting him although I told him Peter was not answering my communications and for what I had paid out I was anxious about this deal. He basically told me never to contact him again to keep contacting Peter."

"I had a very positive experience. Nasir was professional but friendly and even my protective dog settled down quickly which I always consider a good sign. Nasir explained each step of the way and let me know when he’d be up on the roof and inside to clean out the stove ( this was a chimney cleaning job ) . I felt it was an extremely fair price for an overdue and dirty job and left everything spotless. Even gave me tips on cleaning the glass door of the wood stove. I will definitely be using their services again and would highly recommend. "

FAQs for chimney inspection projects in Foster City, CA
The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.
If you add a hearth to your fireplace, you can expect to pay between $3 and $200 per square foot. However, if you're refacing your fireplace, the price tag will depend on your chosen materials. If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50 per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
On average, chimney repairs cost about $455. However, because of the vast range of potential repairs needed, the cost to repair a chimney ranges widely from $160 to $15,000, depending on the type and extent of repairs required.
