Quoted me a fair price. Prompt and expert work performed to fix damaged mortar, reduce fire risk. I highly recommend them!"

"The wood burning fireplace  fit the style of our farm house much more than the gas insert did.  Penguin came out and looked at the space.  They recommended some work be done to make this fireplace functional  (mortar touch up, painting, chimney cap, a wood burning panel reflector to draw in more heat and the glass door).  All of this work came at a reasonable price.  I am very pleased with the end results.

"I have used Chimney Clean Co for 9 years now. The technicians are always on time and do great work. True to their name, they leave my home and chimney clean as a whistle! There?s never any residual ash or dust. I especially appreciate that. Last time I had the work done, the technician, Dan, replaced the chimney cap as well. Overall a great company to work with. I highly recommend them."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

A roof's lifespan can range from 15 to 200 years, with an average of 25 to 50 years, depending heavily on the material, quality of installation, maintenance, and local climate. Asphalt shingle roofs are common and typically last 15 to 30 years; three-tab shingles have a lifespan of about 20 years, while architectural shingles can last up to 30. More durable materials have longer lifespans: metal roofs last 30 to 100 years, clay and concrete can last 50 to 100 years, and slate roofs can last up to 200 years with proper care. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning gutters and replacing damaged shingles, is crucial for extending the life of any roof.

The number of roof vents necessary for a 2,000-square-foot house depends on several factors. The calculation depends on the net free area within the attic and whether your municipality requires a 1/150 or a 1/300 ratio of venting square feet to attic square feet. If you install vents with a square-foot opening of one, you'll need either 14 or seven exhaust vents and an equal square-foot amount of intake vents.

There are a few things you should look out for that suggest your chimney needs repair. The most obvious of which is leaking around the bricks or stone, which should be addressed by a professional immediately. If you’re unsure of its repair status, consider conducting a chimney inspection. Some other repair signs include:

  • Smoky smell in your home when you’re using your chimney

  • Visible damage to the bricks or mortar between them

  • Chimney is pulling away from your home

  • Portions of the brick are flaking away or crumbling

  • Visible cracks that travel through the mortar in a stair-step formation

You can check your building’s interior for evidence of leaks and signs your flat roof needs to be replaced, but the best way to identify issues is to have a roof inspection done once a year. This can uncover small damages before they cause major water damage and lead to the need for roof replacement. Visual damages and tears are also signs you need to replace your flat roof.

Sometimes. Professionals may be able to remove the old roof and re-attach it when completed, depending on your blueprints. That can help you save money. But this method is not without its risks. Larger roofs may crack during the transportation process. And if the roof is old or has problems, it may be better to replace it entirely. Keeping the old roof isn’t always possible if you are making significant alterations to the roofline.
