"Finally got to enjoy our new homes fireplace: SAFELY! And this was all due to the care of Bricks Chimney Service. We were told that the fireplace was not used for the past 10-15 years. These guys came in and did their inspection. They took me through every step; showing me the obvious dangers of my fireplace and chimney. Came back, fixed the trouble areas, and we now enjoy our fireplace!!! Thank you Bricks!!!"

"Paddy's guys did the work and clean up the same day. They did such a great job that their foreman checked their work the same day instead of a week later. They charged a fair price for my tiny house. Will recommend every time!!"

"The Home Advisor web site and process were easy to access and navigate. Response from Delmarva Chimney Sweep was timely, polite, and professional. Kevin arrived per schedule, was very pleasant, well-equipped, and worked quickly. Bottom line: Our fireplace and chimney are cleaned, inspected, and ready for another winter of safe use."

"The service was fine. The only thing is that they were really late coming. So, it was like dark when they got out of here. They left the area good when they were finished. It took them an hour-and-a-half to complete the job. They sent me a picture of the chimney. The price was great. They did show up."

"I was contacted immediately by an office manager to set up an appointment. They were very prompt and on time. I feel they did a great job and a thorough inspection of my chimney! They showed me the poor condition of my chimney after cleaning and discussed ways to fix it. So I hired them to make the repairs,in which I could not have been more pleased with their work! Very professional company, and I would recommend them to anyone!"

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. 

No, there’s no specific building code that requires a roof overhang. However, installing your roof with the standard 2-inch overhang is good practice, as it helps direct runoff away from your fascia boards and roof decking and into your gutters. Some overhang is especially important in areas that see heavy rainfall and snowfall, as the risk of water getting under the roofing material and causing water damage is much higher.

Roof leaks can go undetected for months or even years. A smaller leak that doesn’t cause visible signs in your home’s living area may allow water intrusion for a long time before you notice it. The longer a leak goes undetected, the worse the damage will be, so it’s important to frequently check for signs of a leak to keep a small problem from getting much bigger.

Inspections for new construction may not be legally required, but you should consider them a must if you’re buying a new home. The quality of the construction can vary widely by builder, and many inspections, even for brand-new homes, can uncover problems with framing, structural components, mechanicals, appliances, and more. Professional inspection reports give you leverage to push the associated repair costs to the builder rather than paying for them yourself, so they’re always worthwhile, if only for the peace of mind they provide.

The amount of hail damage that warrants a roof replacement depends on the size of the hail. In many cases, a roof replacement is needed if your roof gets hail that is 1 inch or larger in diameter. You may also need to replace a roof due to hail damage if you notice several dents in the shingles or there are seven to 10 hail impact marks within a 10x10 foot area on your roof.
