"The repair was never done; my $1000.00 paid deposit was returned to me after more than a month of waiting for the repair. These are the details: A brick on my chimney was loose and then was dislodged during a wind storm, and other of the chimney bricks were becoming loose. A written estimate for repair of the chimney was provided by Excel. I paid $1000.00 up front, which was half of the estimate, and agreed to pay the other $1000.00 after the work was completed. The Excel company employee set up the scaffold and was preparing to climb and do the repair when an employee of the City of Peoria's electric company, Ameren, pulled up and told the Excel employee to immediately disassemble the platform because it was unsafe: it was too close to the electric lines - that no-one had notified the company that this work was planned so that the wires could be turned off by Ameren during the work. The Ameren employee then called the Excel company owner himself to tell him this, and then the Ameren employee did not leave until the scaffold was completely removed and the Excel employee had left with it. The Excel employee told me before he left that the company would be back in a few days to do the repairs. But more than a month went by and I heard nothing more from them. After more than a month with no repairs done or attempted again, I contacted Excel again and asked them to either do the repairs or return the $1000.00 that I had already paid them. At that point, the Excel company said they would return the money, and they did so."

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

Inspect for cracks, clean debris regularly, and replace damaged tiles promptly to maintain performance.

Ideally, you will tackle removing algae from your roof during spring or summer when the weather is drier and warmer. Because algae tends to grow during the colder and wetter months, you want to tackle this project before the temperature drops to hopefully keep it from coming back at all.

Other than it looking like a dirty car, there are some other signs you need to clean your roof. Moss growth, algae (often black streaks), grime buildup, buildup under shingles, and leaf buildup are all classic signs a cleaning is overdue. If you have neighbors, take a look around. If your roof appears different in any way, that’s another sign to call a pro to have it cleaned.

Regular cleaning, promptly repairing minor issues, ensuring proper drainage, and using rust-resistant coatings help prevent recurring damage.

It is not advisable to use salt on your roof to prevent or remove ice dams. It’s not only mostly ineffective but can also cause serious damage to your roof itself. Salt can rust metal, damage masonry, pit shingles, and cause runoff that’s damaging to plants and animals.
