"Well enough. Called well before arrival, and again shortly before. Arrived in the designated time slot. They took a picture of the inside of the chimney, and said it needed power cleaning, which would cost another $400. The picture was convincing. Also, I had on one occasion heard the sound of a chimney fire (a sound with which I am familiar) late last season, so I knew there might be burned-on soot. They got the chimney very clean (another photo) and did the job quickly. I do think the additional cost was somewhat excessive, as all that the additional work required was a 1/4 hp electric drill and a different set of rods and brushes. I assume some neglected chimneys require a lot more time, and that the price is determined on the maximum amount of time likely to be required. This is a reasonable practice, but I would appreciate it if they would mention the possibility and cost in advance. While we may hire them again, I will also continue to investigate other contractors for this work."

"Called them to clean and inspect fireplace chimney. Frankie went up on the roof while his assistant cleaned from inside. Frankie took digital photo of crown to show me where it needed repair. Also noticed that the existing cap did not fit tightly and we have had raccoons on our roof. When he inspected the firebox he noticed a hole just above the damper, which he recommended repair because of fire hazard. The whole job took about 45 minutes."

"After having several other companies out to inspect the three fireplaces in our newly purchased 44 year old home, Our new neighbor, who is a realtor, suggested that we call Valor Chimney. We made an appointment for Valor Chimney to come out and give us an estimate. The appointment was several weeks out, but well worth it. David was professional and knowledgeable. He explained the work that needed to be done and provided an equally detailed proposal. A few weeks later, David arrived on-time and did the work without any surprises. Valor Chimney, like the other companies that came out were C.S.I.A certified, but Valor's price was better and David is the owner, so I think the quality and integrity is better because of this fact."

"I have used North Shore Chimney previously for some repair work on my chimney. I was informed then that yearly sweeps and inspections are recommended. The technician, Chris H., that performed my sweep this year was very prompt, polite, and professional. I like the fact that he is CSIA certified. He provided me with a written condition report and went over the specific details with me, this gave me a thorough understanding of how a fireplace works. I recieved a discount for being an Angies List member and from the research I did their prices are very competitive. Overall I was extremely happy with the services North Shore Chimney provided from start to finish. I would recommend North Shore Chimney to anyone in need of a fireplace sweep."
Chimney caps may be installed by a few different professionals, including a chimney sweep or a mason that specializes in fireplaces and chimneys. A gas fireplace technician is the best person to install a chimney cap on a gas log fireplace vent to be sure the cap is appropriate for the application.
A chimney cap costs about $300 on average. The prices range from about $75 to $1,000, depending on the material, size, any repairs needed, and if your chimney cap requires custom fabrication. Chimney caps are usually made from galvanized steel, copper, or stainless steel. Additional costs may include hiring a chimney sweep to clean the chimney before a cap is installed.
Yes, it’s worth capping a chimney. Here are several reasons to install a chimney cap:
Keep out rain, snow, wildlife, and other debris
Help prevent chimney fires
Reduce your chimney’s exposure to moisture
Maintain your chimney flue liner
Help reduce energy bills by helping regulate your home’s temperature
Typically, a chimney cap will last from three to 25 years. This wide range is due to variables like climate, the material the cap is made from, and how often you use your fireplace. Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend the life of your chimney cap.
The best style of chimney cap for a brick chimney is one that fits tightly around the brick top of the chimney. The cap should have a screen to fully enclose it to keep animals out. The best materials include stainless steel, copper, or aluminum that fit tightly or are custom fabricated for a perfect fit on your chimney.
