Best chimney liner installation pros near Johnsburg, IL

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I had GEM Chimney & Duct complete a full chimney cleaning and safety inspection at my home on Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis. They removed heavy creosote buildup, checked for blockages, and even handled some minor mortar repairs to make sure my chimney was safe and efficient. Their certified team came the same day, and it gave my family peace of mind just in time for the heating season."

"Daniel and Lou showed up to replace the liner and repair the chimney. They spent an entire day working hard and cleaned up after the job was done. The work done looks solid and good. Would definitely keep them on my list for any future masonry/brick repair jobs."

"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.

"We were very satisfied with our service from Rob and Fire It Up at the end of September. After buying our first house, we wanted to make sure everything in the chimney was safe and working efficiently. Rob's inspection and estimate were very thorough and detailed. He clearly knows his stuff and didn't pressure us to schedule repairs right away. Mario and team did a full crown coat, put in two liners, and poured insulation. They also replaced duct from the furnace that wasn't venting outside fully. Everyone seemed very knowledgeable. The manager, Toni, stopped by so we could settle up, and she's a sweetheart. Great customer service all around."

"Exceptional work by Erik at a reasonable price. Erik also brought an exposed roof nail to our attention which he fixed, preventing a leak down the road. Honest and experienced. We will be using Chimney Crafters for our chimney maintenance from here on out!"
