In the summer of 2013, he gave me an estimate of $7,000 for repair of the chimney over the roof and to put a metal pipe inside of the chimney. I called him in September 2014 to ask for the estimate for my insurance broker and he was very vague and he told me that I did not want to do the work...

Tito Alcaraz Painting & Repair SpecialistThe engineer arrived and serviced the chimney. He did a great job of using his camera to inspect the space and showed me the work that needed to be done on the camera screen that he brought with him. He then provided a clear estimate for the work and a guaranteed price for a year.
The inspector showed up on time. I didn't watch him the entire time because I also had someone there to inspect the HVAC system and they needed to show me something. Their report seemed ok, it pointed out some code violations and work that needed to be done in the $7K range with the caveat...

"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."

Jonathan and Ido did a great job replacing the Chase Cover on my fireplace and installed two new caps as well as a third cap on my Masonary brick chimney. A big plus was to find out that Jonathan is a licensed general contactor. He was able to provide me with information and pricing on some small and medium size projects I've been planning to get to around the house and he recommended a few other things for the future. All in all great service highley recommended!!! I'm expecting them to do some additional work for me in the coming weeks in my kitchen and some drywall and paint work."

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.
