"Saul did an excellent job. Went above and beyond what we have become used to with other chimney sweeps. He inspected our chimney from the roof down the chimney and liner and also inspected our furnace chimney. And he took pictures of it all. Then explained what we were looking at and how to go about getting it fixed. I definitely reccomend Saul."

"Nick came to do chimney sweep but noted that cleaning not needed and reduced charge to just inspection. Inspection found several issues that were documented by photos on his phone. Hired him to do corrections and found him to be forthright, efficient, and thorough. He showed results of work on photos. Felt job was well done and would rehire in future without reservation"

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

You can secure roof decorations like inflatables and other Christmas decor by tying a rope or attacking bungee cords to your roof clips. Depending on the pitch of your roof, you can use sandbags for extra support. Like with Christmas lights, avoid using staples or duct tape. 

Most roof repairs require a permit, though you should always check with your local municipality to confirm whether one is necessary. Some small, immediate repairs may not require immediate permit approval, but larger emergency repairs likely will. If you do any roof repairs without a permit, you could be on the hook for penalty fines, stop-work orders, and legal problems.

Some people prefer to use connectors consisting of galvanized metal to replace the birdsmouth cuts on the rafter board. Common names for these metal pieces include hurricane ties and variable-pitch connectors. Making birdsmouth cuts is more cost-effective than purchasing these connectors for each rafter. However, because making large birdsmouth cuts to accommodate extra-wide exterior walls can weaken the rafter, a connector may be the better option in some cases.

To prolong the lifespan of a slate roof, perform regular maintenance. This includes conducting annual inspections to check for damaged or broken tiles and addressing any minor issues promptly. Clean the gutters regularly, remove any overhanging tree branches, and ensure the flashing remains intact to prevent leaks. For comprehensive care, consider scheduling periodic professional inspections.

Yes, you should seal and cap an unused chimney to protect it from damage. Sealing the structure helps prevent moisture damage, which can lead to issues like cracks, spalling, efflorescence, and damaged mortar joints. Capping the chimney is also crucial to prevent blockages, damage from invasive critters, and downdrafts, while still allowing for proper air ventilation to manage moisture. For the best results, consult a chimney professional to select the right type of chimney or flue cap for your home. It's also wise to continue with annual chimney inspections to maintain the structure's integrity.
