"Did not receive discount on chimney cap as advertised. The masonry joints were not completely cleaned of loose mortar and repaired. The sealant was put on over bricks and joints that were not thoroughly cleaned of moss. Crown sealer in center of chimney did not cure and washed away -"

"The chimney was swept after 1 year of heavy use. Some creosote glazing was noted, the master chimney sweeper employee threw in a bottle of deodorizer for free."

"They did a great job. Respectful, on-time, gave me an honest assessment of my chimney...I will be calling them again for my annual cleaning and servicing. They even took pictures of my chimney and sent them along with a service report in an email so I could have a reference."

"The crew arrived on time and did a thorough job. The reason this rating isn't higher is because the crew chief had been in my house no more than 10 minutes before diagnosing what he said was a dangerous level of creosote in our chimney and recommending installation of a $1,000+ chimney liner, which his company would of course be happy to sell us. I said no, thanks. The next year I hired another service - Emener ([*** Link removed ***] - which told me that the chimney was actually in good shape and pretty clean considering how much we use the fireplace. 5 Star clearly used its promotional offer as a way to upsell an expensive add-on that I am now convinced wasn't needed. Beware of deals that look too good to be true."

"These guys did an outstanding job. Prompt, professional, honest, friendly, kept a neat work site, beautiful work and had an excellent price. My house was built in 1906 and the old chimney above the roofline was in pretty rough shape - ready to come down. I had four different companies that I found on Angies List come over and give estimates. Rich was the first person to come for an estimate and ultimately the one I chose. His estimate was lower than the competition and gave a good first impression. They came over a couple weeks later to do the rebuild and I couldn't be more pleased. They were here for two days, always here when they said they would be and immediately set-up staging to demolish the old chimney. The new chimney is beautiful - they used nice looking bricks and installed a nice cap. It's a brand new chimney, but it looks like it's always been here. I would highly recommend these guys.

"I learned that the flues did not need cleaning, but that there was about 4 feet of flue lining that was missing from the top of the chimney--there are ceramic tiles in there and for whatever reason, 4 ft were missing from the top. They replaced this with a liquid/concrete/solidifying material to seal/line the flues"

"Adail of AAB Roofing and his team did an outstanding job on my roof, including chimney tuck pointing, chimney caps, chimney sealing, skylight replacement, some siding work, and a new roof on our old Victorian home. I did extensive research on roofing and roofing companies, and AAB had the best value. They were not the least expensive overall proposal, but that is because they used ALL top of the line materials...the best ice and water shield, the best shingles, the best ridge vents. When I had other roofers rebid using the same top materials, so I had an apples to apples fair comparison, they were more expensive than AAB. Adail is a joy to work with, and a man of his word. He treats his workers very well, and they in turn do a great job for the homeowner. I give Adail and AAB my highest recommendation."

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.
