Hynek responded promptly to inspect and provide a quote for chimney replacement. His guys did quick work to remove the old chimney and did a nice job with the new one. Highly recommend Hynek and his crew.

Wonderful companies I called before wanted a huge amount of money. Ace inspected the unit and were able to repair it. They also inspected our furnace. They offered expert advice. They were the only ones who told us to keep the downstairs door closed when running the air.
ACE HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING, INC. - Charlotte F.
Received good advice, property inspected, traps set, given option to how many follow-up appointments necessary.

The best compliment I can give Leon is that I hope he never inspects a home I am selling. He was very thorough in inspecting our new condo, both inside and out. Not all inspectors will inspect the external property of a condo since that is part of the association property, not the unit, but...

A&B did a complete job and even pointed out some areas that other inspectors missed. This was done quickly but not rushed and the inspector was forthcoming about what he found and other useful information. The written 2 page report came quickly and covered the items found as well as expert...

Smog inspection done quickly and with a smile. Nice discount with Angie's List. I was impressed with how every customer was treated in the waiting room. I'll definitely return.
Spiteri's Complete Auto Service & Repair, Inc. - Caroline C.
My small house is 75 years old. It was hit by a car. The point of impact was near my chimney. In the course of repairs by the insurance company's contractor I got two wildly different opinions about the chimney's safety. A structural engineer came out to look at the damage to the house...
MISTER CHIMNEY CLEANING & REPAIRS, INC - Ashish P.
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.

We are a family owned and operated business committed to providing excellent service to our customers. English, Turkish and Russian speaking technician available.
"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 San Mateo, 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.

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.
