Great! They were able to repair the damper instead of replacing it with a much more expensive fix. They did not charge me for the repair in case it isn't a "permanent" fix. I appreciated them working for a less expensive repair.

Dennis was quick to visit and provide a quote. His assigned worker showed up when expected and completed the job. I was not home when the work was conducted, however, I could tell the crown was repaired and there was no mess and no damage to bushes (rose bushes) surrounding the chimney base.
