"We hired them to repair our chimney and make a useless wood burning fireplace useable again. Price was fair and they got to it just as soon as weather would allow. Darren was very helpful with ideas and some unexpected troubleshooting. We feel very confident in the work."

"It's a pretty decent system, I think. They send you the pieces and you install them yourself, which is pretty easy. The only real problem I have is that one sensor is too far away from the panel...or there's some interference, and they haven't been able to fix that. It's an interior door, so it's not the end of the world, just a little annoying. Their customer service is pretty good though. Nice, smart customer service people on the other end, very polite and helpful."

Chimney Inspection FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, all roofs can benefit from flashing. Roof flashing can protect a property from water damage, roof leaks, mold, and other serious issues. It’s vital if you’d like to extend the lifespan of your roof and avoid costly repairs down the road.

The roof overhang, also known as the eaves, does count as part of the roof’s square footage because it must be covered with the roofing material. The overhang is one of the reasons why you can’t base your roof's square footage on the square footage of the house. The roof square footage must also account for the pitch of the roof as well as the eaves.

Chimney caps have a solid top but perforated sides so smoke can exit safely. If rain or snow falls downward, chimney caps can protect the chimney’s interior. Just note that if rain or snow blows in sideways, there’s a higher likelihood it will enter the chimney—but it's not often a cause for concern as long as you have a cap.

An inspection can take up to an hour, depending on the type of AC system you have. If you need to add more refrigerant, expect an extra 30 to 45 minutes.

Yes, installing a skylight can impact your roof’s structural integrity and may void the roof warranty if not done correctly. Cutting into the roof weakens its waterproof barrier, and improper flashing or sealing can lead to leaks and long-term damage. Many roofing manufacturers require skylights to be installed by certified professionals to maintain warranty coverage, so it’s important to check your policy before installation.
