"Travis is very knowledgeable in his field of work. Answered all my questions. Did an inspection of my chimney. And informed me that the people who installed my chimney liner did not do it by code. Told me what I should do to get everything up to code."

"I had a great experience with Clear Choice Chimney. They performed an inspection on my wood-burning fireplace, explained everything that needed to be done before the upcoming winter, and made sure I understood the condition of my chimney. They completed the necessary repairs, cleaned everything thoroughly, and the entire process was professional and smooth. The team was knowledgeable, honest, and friendly. I?m very happy with the service and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable chimney work."

"Had my chimney cleaned and inspected by Alefi. He was very thorough and gave a detailed explanation of a few repairs that were needed (new chimney cap and recommended waterproofing). Gave a prompt estimate at a reasonable price. He got the work done quickly and professionally. Very happy with the result and would highly recommend."

"This is our 2nd time working with wilder for chimney work. He came in and did a free inspection (after some pointers over the phone for our Smokey fireplace). The no pressure inspection Saturday morning (with my 2 year old son and 4 year old nephew basically over his shoulder) led to a cleaning for a very reasonable price and the fireplace far less smoke and manageable. You are silly to not let him earn your business. One of the better and honest tradesmen I’ve worked with!"

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Patching a rubber roof requires finding a leak that is most likely identified by inspecting the attic. Get a strong flashlight and inspect the underside of the roof. Look for mold, wet spots, or dark, discolored areas. Check for degrading insulation, which tends to break down faster than wood. Inspect vents and seals and keep an eye out for small punctures coming through. The leak could actually be several feet away from where you find the water damage because of how water flows or gets diverted. In dry weather, spray the roof with a hose while someone else watches for leaks inside the attic. 

Yes, moss can be dangerous for your roof if left in place to grow without treatment. The moss soaks up and holds moisture. Having a constantly damp roof could lead to problems with rot for the parts of the roof that consist of wood. Additionally, a patch of thick moss may draw insects and birds, which could damage the roof. Thick moss could block the roof’s drainage system. Water then may back up after a rainstorm and cause further damage that could eventually lead to roof repair expenses or the cost of roof replacement.

A properly installed, high-quality tarp can be left on a roof for up to 90 days. However, this is only a temporary measure and not a substitute for proper roof repair or replacement. Thinner tarps or those exposed to heavy wind and rain may not last the full 90 days, so it's important to monitor the tarp's condition to ensure it continues to protect your roof from the elements.

Yes, roof ridge caps are a necessary part of your roof system. Your roof ridge cap is at the peak of your roof, where two slopes of your roof meet. Roof ridge caps seal the seam and help protect your roof from water and debris, and because they’re pre-bent and thicker, they’re more suited to the job than regular roof shingles, which can break when bent.

You can tell if you have ridge vents by looking at the roof’s peak from outside. A ridge vent will look like a speed bump or slight rise away from the roof’s surface and will likely be covered in the same material as the rest of the roof. You can also tell from inside your attic—look up at the roof ridge to see if there is light coming through along the length of the ridge.
