That one quoted us $3000 saying the inside and outside needed repointing. $3000 is a lot and requires a second quote. So we call up another vendor who does come to the East Bay and they recommended the Irish Sweep.
I called them and Sally and Manny came out within the week. Sally inspected the firebox and then went outside and inspected the chimney. Manny went up on a ladder and found a gap between the chimney and the house where water had been coming in. After looking at everything, she said that the bricks did not need repointing and were in fact in very good condition for their age. The only repair needed was where the gap was and to create an angle where the chimney and the exterior firebox met so water didn't accumulate. They came back in a few days and made the repair. They were great!!!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ca/alameda/the-irish-sweep-reviews-211206.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Cabal Inspection Services","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"CA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Donna O."},"reviewBody":"Cabal Inspection Services was recommended by Richard Alexis of Accurate Building Inspection Services as Mr. Alexis' focus is mold inspection and remediation.
As a courtesy to me as an Angie's List client, Mr. Alexis accompanied Ralph Cabal of Cabal Inspection Services to our pre-purchase home inspection. They both willingly accommodated my request for a tentative inspection appointment while we awaited confirmation that our back up purchase offer was accepted. I made several phone calls to both Mr. Cabal and Mr. Alexis and they were all answered promptly (and cheerfully). Both Richard and Ralph were generous with their time.
Mr. Cabal was professional and thorough. He uses a laptop during his inspection to document the findings. The inspection report contained a narrative description of all the areas inspected as well as an addendum of photographs. The website, http://cabalinspections.com, has a sample inspection report. The contract for services as well as the report were delivered through an on-line system. All written reports were completed before the promised date.
Mr. Cabal also provided wind mitigation and four-point reports at an additional cost of $75 per report. My only criticism is that I did not understand that I needed to request a wood destroying organism (aka "termite) report as an added service in addition to the general home inspection."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/fl/miami/cabal-inspection-services-reviews-2517491.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Chimney Clean Company","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"CA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"ANDREW M."},"reviewBody":"He was recommended to our broker to inspect the chimney before we moved in.

FAQs for chimney inspection projects in Piedmont, 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 $200per 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 $50per 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.
