"Anthony and Brandon were excellent, extremely professional and knowledgeable! Anthony and Brandon repaired our chimney and installed a new damper and cap and beautiful new logs in under 2 hours! Both men were very friendly and answered all our questions. We couldn't be more excited about our new fireplace and cannot wait to show it off! We highly recommend A-1 Safety Chimney Service and Anthony and Brandon, they exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier!! Thank you Anthony and Brandon and A-1 Safety!!!"

"The chimney to our furnace was loose.  Noticed after a leak.  Our roofer caulked it but explained it wasn't firmly attached.  Maximum came out and did a free inspection, then described the problem.  They were able to repair that afternoon.  They were a little after the window in which they said they'd be out, but the did call.

"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."

"You would never know that my chimney was struck by lightning. It took 6 hours for the work to be completed. Mr. Szczepaniak and his crew were punctual, neat and responsible. He cared about making the customer happy, which is so rare in today's world. He demonstrated what I call " old school" work ethics which was a pleasure to see. I highly recommend him.

"A house inspection revealed that we needed quite a bit of chimney work, so after getting a few proposals, we decided to go with David Palm of Valor Chimney Services. How could we not, as he was the most thorough and well prepared. (When he showed up -- on time -- for an inspection, he was clutching a copy of his insurance certificate, saying, "Well, I'm gonna be going up on your roof.") He showed us via copious photos what exactly needed to be done and how his crew would accomplish it. The crew was super friendly and funny, and took great pains to minimize messes. The end result? A couple of happy homeowners equipped with what looks like a brand-new chimney, complete with a 15-year labor and materials warranty. It doesn't get much better than that."

"I originally bought an Angieslist deal for a roof inspection and repair credit.  Wesley Pluta contacted me very quickly after I bought the deal.  We had some water infiltration in January due to an ice dam, and I suspected one area of the roof needed some attention.  So when Wesley came out, we looked at the roof together and decided upon a course of action that included looking under the shingles at the flashing in a couple different areas.  The work was done by one of his guys a few weeks later.  One area of flashing around a chimney needed to be replaced.  The work was completed pretty quickly.  I am assuming that this should take care of the problem should we encounter ice dams in the future, but won't really know until that happens.  His work, of course, comes with a guarantee, so I'm sure if there is a problem he will fix it.  He was very responsive to my emails over the course of the time it took to get the work completed.  I also received a quote for siding replacement from him.  We aren't doing that work right now, but it's nice to have.

"I called North Shore Chimney to get a second opinion on some work that was recommended by another chimney company. The technician who came out was very polite and knowledgeable. He informed me that some of the work being quoted by the other company was not necessary, and the prices north shore chimney quoted were much better. The work was completed in a timely manner and without mess. Overall I was very satisfied with my experience."

"They were very prompt. Estimator was 5 minutes late and couldn't apologize enough. Checked with a contractor I knew and he said the price was good. They were able to replace some of the bricks with a perfect match. The others were neatly repaired (can't even see where). I will have them back to do our chimney repairs.
