Best chimney liner installation pros near Deerfield, IL

"Bryan from Pratt's was great to work with. We had not used and of our fireplaces since we bought the house a few years ago. Two of them had old gas logs and the third had never been used since the house was built. I initially called Pratt's to inspect the chimneys and to discuss options on converting one from gas logs back to wood burning and another to have some sort of updated gas option put in. Upon inspection Bryan noted that all three had damage and it would not be safe to use without repairing them. He also determined none of them needed sweeping and that in fact the one in the basement had never been used. However, this one was not capped properly so the flue had accumulate some rust over the years. He showed me live video of the inside of the chimneys to show me the damage to them and why they were not safe to use as is. He proposed options on installing a gas insert in one, relining the one we wanted to burn wood in again and replacing the flue for the one in the basement. While we selected the options we wanted for the gas insert Bryan was very responsive and took the time answer all of our questions. When it came time to do the install Bryan ran into a couple of the issues with the gas insert installation. The backing for the insert was wrong for the manufacturer but Brian was able to track a proper one down so we didn't have to wait for the correct one to be sent by the manufacturer. The other issue was related to the existing gas line into the fireplace. It stuck out slightly too far for the insert to be centered properly and the line was completely cemented into the wall so it could not be adjusted. Brian went out of his way to talk to his contacts including the manufacturer on options that could be taken to slightly and safely modify the outside of the gas insert to be able to center it. Due to his efforts they were able to properly center the insert. The insert looks and works great. The new flues and caps also look great. Definitely recommend Pratt's Chimney service."

"Amazing, immediately identified my chimney issues, my crown restored and feeling safe"

"Miguel and brother Manuel were real gentlemen and brought shoe covers! Their work was excellent and finished in a timely manner. They did my stove exhaust so brickwork was needed. They are clean and neat and even cleaned my stainless hood before leaving. I will be glad to recommend you or use you again. Thx Guys!"

"A-1 Safety Chimney Services did a good job of cleaning the inside of the chimney so we could use it during the Winter months. They did inspect the whole chimney and made recommendations. I would hire them again."

"Nick and Mike came out from Superior Chimney just a few days after I called. They were friendly and knowledgeable. They listened to my concerns and then did a thorough inspection and walked me through everything they found and addressed all of my questions. They presented me with two reasonable options and didn't pressure me at all. I ended up purchasing the non-metal rubberized solution to fix my chimney crown. They promptly installed it. I was happy with the entire process and would highly recommend them."

"Mario did a detailed inspection and quote. I had three companies bid out the job and he was the only one concerned with the condition of my chimney liner. Turns out the chimney liner was full of holes, potentially a safety issue. If I had hired the other companies that would not have been addressed. Quality of the work was great, always showed up on time and left the job site clean. Main office staff was friendly and easy to get ahold of. If there were any changes they always communicated it ahead of time. The new grout blended in perfectly, chimneys look much better. I also appreciated they offered crown coat, my crowns were in bad shape and look much nicer after using crown coat. They even fixed up some stuff on my brick lamp post."

"Derek completed a chimney project for us including a full inspection, flue repair, chimney cap replacement w tile caps, and brick tuck pointing. His work and cost of the project was valuable to the resale of our home but also peace of mind that we are up and running for chimney use. His pricing was fair and the quality of his work was outstanding. He found matching brick from our early 70's home. We recommend him constantly to friends and family. Highly recommend using Derek and his company."

"I needed my chimney rebuilt from the roof line up. I picked a brick that was not available so they chose for me and it was a perfect match to my roof and siding. The team was very polite and they cleaned up everything very nicely. Would recommend them to family & friends."

"Olsen was recommended by my roofing contractor.  Ken from Olsen came out four days after my initial contact and sent me a proposal the next day.  Thanks to my roofer's efforts, Olsen came out earlier than they had originally scheduled (in mid rather than late September) to do the actual work. 
On the first day, they did most of the repairs which included removing the top course (layer) of bricks, removing the old concrete chimney cap and installing a new one, replacing the top piece of the flue pipe and grinding out and re-tuckpointing all mortar joints above the roof line.  They also repaired some joints below the roof line and caulked everything as needed.  Two days later they returned to remove the "form" from the new chimney cap and wash everything down. 
I thought that Olsen's price was on the high side but they appear to have done very good work, their people were polite and informative and they cleaned up after themselves.
