Get matched with top fireplace pros in Monee, IL

"A-1 did an amazing job & had great pricing! Called them because we heard something in the fireplace. They cam out that day & removed 3 raccoons, capped off chimney & cleaned it. CALL THEM!!! We will defiantly be using them again!"

"We had chimney work done by Chimney USA, Inc. They did a good job. We had 2 chimneys repaired as well as flashing over porch area. Mirna was great in setting things up. Chris W. and Rafael were great at doing the work."

"Professional workers who made sure the job was done correctly. They made sure to come back a week later and ensure proper installation so my family can enjoy the fireplace safely"

"Robert was one of three potential providers I contacted for our situation. One provided repeated excuses for delays in coming over and ultimately never submitted an estimate; one was competitive in price but much too long-winded and off-topic in his explanations (uncomfortably so), and the third was Robert.
I have read many of the positive reviews of Robert's services and could wrap this up by simply saying "The same!" However, Robert is such a professional, positive and accomplished guy that it is worth my writing (and you reading) another thumbs-up experience.
Simply put, Robert is the type of tradesman that every single homeowner on Angie's would want to do business with. If there is an electrician, plumber, etc. out there with the same skills and customer service in their fields that Robert has in his field, I'd sure like to meet them.

Robert was over within hours of my initial inquiry. I have a 60-year-old home I purchased less than a year ago and it has a beautiful fireplace of colorful, rough-hewn stones that extends to a very large chimney outside  During certain rains and snows, however, random stones above the firebox were showing moisture. 
The stone chimney extends well outside the house and it isn't hard to imagine that there could be innumerable places where water could infiltrate. Sure enough, upon inspection Robert found numerous examples of cracks and missing mortar well above the roofline which he documented with his camera and showed me. It was also apparent that the previous tuckpoint job at an unknown time in the past was hastily-applied, probably just a patch-up job. In fact,  it wasn't even proper tuckpointing material, but ordinary gray cement.
See my detailed list of the work performed in the previous field called "What did the provider do."

"Mario and his team were great. Replaced chimney crown and did tuck point work. Would recommend them for chimney repairs."

"Our chimney draws properly again. These guys really know their stuff. Such professional folks to work with. It's great to know we have a fully functional and safe fireplace again."

"The workers and office staff were easy to talk to, well informed, courteous , and efficient. They performed a thorough inspection. Recommended and installed a stainless liner and cap for the furnace flue and a new damper on the fireplace flue. Their price was better than previous quotes and even set up a partial payment plan.
