"I called on Friday to inquire about an estimate; Mike came Monday afternoon to give us a quote and repair the roof.  Given the number of competitors that don't even call back, I was impressed with their prompt response.  We knew we had some shingles that had blown off and we knew there was a leak around the vent for the furnace, but we trusted Mike to inspect the rest of the roof and make these and any additional necessary repairs.  He found several more problem areas than we were aware of and also identified a few ways in which our roof was installed improperly, which likely led to the shingles blowing off.  He seemed quite knowledgable and gave us an honest assessment of our roof (which wasn't great news).  He offered ballpark quotes on both cost and timeframe for repairing vs. replacing the roof so we could make a more informed decision.  In the end, we decided to repair for now and replace at some point in the future.
We will have Mike come back to give an official estimate when we are ready to replace the entire roof, but we will also get some estimates from competitors (which we didn't do for this repair; we just wanted it fixed quickly).  We felt like the cost of the repair might have been a bit high considering that the work was completed with only 2-3 hours of labor.

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

Yes, professionals use specialized treatments to remove smoke odors and improve indoor air quality.

Depending on the amount of soot present, you can vacuum some of it using a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Then, remove the leftovers with a mild cleaner, such as dish soap or vinegar mixed with water. Before applying a cleaning solution, saturate the bricks with clean water to prevent the cleaner from penetrating beyond the surface and causing structural damage to the bricks.

Some of the most common chimney problems include:

  • Creosote buildup

  • Chimney blockage

  • Deteriorating brickwork or stonework

  • Cracked chimney top

  • Damaged flashing

  • Flue liner damage or deterioration

  • Damaged chimney cap

If you suspect you have a chimney problem, contact a masonry contractor for an inspection. 

In many cases, professionals can completely remove certain types of smoke damage from walls and ceilings, but it’s only possible if the damage is minor. For more extensive damage from major fires, you’ll likely need to replace the damaged materials entirely. Some items, like upholstered furniture, are much trickier to clean and might need to be replaced even if the smoke damage is minimal.

Challenges include ensuring structural safety, completing soot removal, meeting restoration codes, and effectively managing insurance claims.
