"Superior Chimney came to our house next day after water was coming into our fireplace down the chimney. Came and gave a free quote which was extremely well communicated and provided pictures to show the issues we were having. We needed to replace our caps as well as new waterproofing on our chase cover. Repairs were able to be completed immediately. Extremely happy with the service and felt cost was very fair. Would recommend for service"
"Thank you so much for an awesome service experience. Anthony and his assistant were very professional and explained what was needed, Anthony explained what was done and how often we should have our chimney swept. I truly appreciate great service. A1 got a customer for life with my family. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Thank you guys for your professionalism. The new vent cap is beautiful!! The Monday’s"
"Very well . Workers were competent and thorough Crews cleaned up area First trip to remove and rebuild exposed chimney brick Second trip to remove cracked tile liner and install steel liner Broken old tile parts thoroughly removed Preparations kept dust and debris from interior of house Expected waterproof sealer for new brick not yet applied to exterior."
"They did a nice job. I signed up for their fall chimney sweep coupon. They sent out two guys who were knowledgeable and polite. They inspected the chimney, cleaned it out and sealed the cap in under an hour."
"We had Chavez Masonry complete a rebuilt of a collapsed chimney in the attic and restored the outside portion. They were responsive, courteous and prompt. Very impressed with their work and their cleanup. I saw this as a difficult project but they completed without a problem. They even held to the quote after it was discovered the the repair was going to more extensive than we originally thought. We would definitely use them again."
"Chris the owner came to my house for the estimate. He knew as soon as he walked up my driveway what the problem was with my chimney and asked to see my crawlspace and where my furnace and hot water heater were. Apparently when my hot water heater was installed instead of connecting the pipe into the chimney liner from the furnace it was just going into the chimney and the warm air was causing condensation and the deterioration of my chimney. He was the only person we got an estimate from who figured this out; everyone else wanted to do "band aid" solutions like applying waterproofing materials to the chimney. Scheduling the work was a little tricky because of the harsh winter and the snow on everyone's roofs, but I felt we got scheduled in a very timely manner. The guys who came and did the work were professional and now we know our chimney and the liner are as they should be. "
"We purchased our house in 2012 and hired Nyberg Exteriors to replace the roof. The work came with a guarantee against leaks for 7 years. Over the next few months we suspected that there was a leak into our unfinished attic around the chimney because of color changes in the surrounding wood and on the floor, but could never find the area actually wet. It was also difficult to be sure because the area was already stained from before we bought the house, so we knew it had leaked at some point, and we just assumed that the new roof would fix the problem if it was still currently leaking. However, a couple of weeks ago (in March 2014) we finally found moisture in that area and I emailed Stuart Nyberg who had been in charge of our project. It was a Saturday but I didn't expect him to even read the email until Monday. Not an hour later I got a call -- it was him, outside our house, looking at the chimney from the outside and wondering if he could take a look in the attic! He determined that the problem was that our cinderblock chimney was porous and moisture was gradually seeping in that way. This didn't fall under the guarantee and we would have gladly paid him to fix it, but he offered to come out and seal it for free. We're not sure when the work was done, but yesterday we noticed that the chimney has a fresh layer of sealant on it, and I imagine this will fix the problem. I was already so satisfied with the work this company did on our roof, and their price, but this just went above and beyond. Highly recommended! "
"Called them to clean and inspect fireplace chimney. Frankie went up on the roof while his assistant cleaned from inside. Frankie took digital photo of crown to show me where it needed repair. Also noticed that the existing cap did not fit tightly and we have had raccoons on our roof. When he inspected the firebox he noticed a hole just above the damper, which he recommended repair because of fire hazard. The whole job took about 45 minutes."
"They did a great job. They solved all the problems I had with the chimney and it’s been working perfectly ever since. They also fixed a problem on the roof around the chimney; they replaced the wood around the chimney with a material that would never rot, so they fixed it even better than it was before. It took them a couple of days to do the work. They took care of all the cleanup as well. We've been real happy with them."
A range hood is an exhaust fan for your kitchen, and several types and styles exist. They are meant to remove grease, moisture, and fumes from your stove. Although some models filter and recirculate the air, the most effective ones remove the air through a duct that’s vented to the outdoors.
If a range hood has minor issues, the average repair costs $85 to $210. This accounts for both parts and labor. More extensive damage can cost as much as $300 to $500, at which point it may be worth considering completely replacing the range hood.
Regular cleaning of filters and checking ducting ensures effective operation.
Typically 1-2 hours, factoring in ductwork and electrical connections.
A higher CFM will make the price of your range hood more expensive. It can be challenging to speculate how much the CFM rating affects price, but ductless range hoods—that don’t need as high of a CFM as ducted range hoods—are less expensive than their alternative. On average, ductless hoods cost between $100 and $300, while ducted hoods can cost as much as $1,000.
