"They came and measured chimneys on the first visit (2 large chimneys, three stories up). Caps were delivered a week or so later. They came back and installed them. Professional and punctual. Answered all of my questions. Great to work with."
"The crew arrived on time and did a thorough job. The reason this rating isn't higher is because the crew chief had been in my house no more than 10 minutes before diagnosing what he said was a dangerous level of creosote in our chimney and recommending installation of a $1,000+ chimney liner, which his company would of course be happy to sell us. I said no, thanks. The next year I hired another service - Emener ([*** Link removed ***] - which told me that the chimney was actually in good shape and pretty clean considering how much we use the fireplace. 5 Star clearly used its promotional offer as a way to upsell an expensive add-on that I am now convinced wasn't needed. Beware of deals that look too good to be true."
"Excellent experience and work by professional/competent team of Jay and Edwin. Promptly arrived at scheduled time...completed work in 4 hours.....left site and work area clean and no debris. I would use Mr Chimney for other services."
"I was very pleased with the work that was done by this company. Initially I thought that I only needed a chimney cap installed, but after a careful inspection of my chimney, it was found that a crumbling and deteriorating lining of my chimney interior wall had occurred leaving a potentially dangerous situation in my house. I was actually shown the damage so I could determine for myself the extent of the problem. The company installed a new lining and chimney cap in a short period of time, leaving a clean work area. The workmen were extremely polite and answered all my questions thoroughly. I would definitely recommend them for chimney work."
"Safety First was terrific. I went on another site to search for chimney sweeps in my area and came up with several names. When I posted something about needing a chimney sweep, Vincent from Safety First was the first person and first company to respond (within about 3 minutes). Vincent offered to come up to my town, which is probably about 45 minutes from where he is based, but the weather and driving conditions were bad, so we scheduled an appointment for the next morning. Vincent worked hard-- it takes someone who is strong to force the piping up into the flue to clear the blockage. Vincent also vacumed the flue and checked it later to make sure it was venting properly. He was very polite and conscientious- he called to tell me when he was on his way, showed me his business card when he arrived, cleaned up after himself, and was honest. I had been told by someone else that I needed to replace my furnace, which kept shutting itself off. It turns out the furnace has a safety mechanism that shuts down the gas/heating function if the furnace detects that it is getting too hot or there is a problem with insufficient ventilation. Because Safety First cleared the blocked flue, my furnace is now able to heat my house and there is no need for it to shut itself off. I would have had Safety First install the replacement furnace, and told Vincent that already, so by telling me my equipment did not need to be replaced he actually is cutting himself off from a job I otherwise would have been glad to give him. If I need any chimney/fireplace work done in the future I will contact Safety First and not need to look elsewhere."
"They were very hard working, efficient, and thorough and i would highly recommend Nick, and his faithful crew of workers including Sean, and Chris. They were careful to not make a mess and to clean up the work areas, and they made sure they tested everything. They obtained permits for us for the extra back den stove and chimney pipe. I would highly recommend this company for fireplace, stove and chimney work!"
"I spoke to Mike on 10/25, He came right by with Alan, took a look at the chimney & furnace and gave me a (very decent) quote right away. Mike and his colleagues are very personable and well spoken folks. I called Mike back in the evening and gave him the job. His folks - Alan and Liam came by 10/26 in the morning. Again, very professional and punctual. Liam explained the mechanics of the lining and how it works. He showed me what he had done. They patched up everything very well and cleaned up after themselves. I am completely satisfied with the service and very, very impressed by Mike and his company.
I would recommend Mike without hesitation.Thank you. "
"We had a horrible experience with another company and went to Angi’s list and randomly called Chimney All Nation. Not only did they quickly respond but was at our home in a few hours - they repaired our chimney, replacing bricks and mortor and ordered a part for our flue. Beyond happy and grateful for the work that was done. Would recommend without hesitation!!"
"I initially called for a chimney sweep only. When the technician arrived he informed me that both caps on top of the chimney needed to be replaced. He installed two new caps very quickly. They arrived on time and called ahead of time to let me know they were coming. They were very careful with the dust coming out of the chimney and left the room where they worked very clean. Very good service overall. "
Yes, professionals can often retrofit models with minimal disruption.
Typically 1-2 hours, factoring in ductwork and electrical connections.
By positioning ductwork for optimal airflow and reducing potential leaks.
No, you can’t install just any microwave over your range. You have to get a specific type of microwave known as an over-the-range unit. These include venting and lighting features that you’ll need above your stovetop.
Although countertop units are more affordable, they won’t work for this type of installation. To avoid hazardous conditions in your kitchen, buy the right type of microwave for your needs.
Smooth galvanized metal ducting is best and safest for venting a hood range. It’s best to avoid flexible and corrugated types of ducting, as these options don’t provide ample airflow and may not meet local code. For specific advice on which type of duct might be best for your kitchen, reach out to a range hood installation professional.
