"They came out to clean the chimney and let us know that it needed to be relined. They did the work quickly and for a reasonable price."

"Two reps from A&T Chimney Sweeps came on time and quickly went to work, making sure to wear booties and laying a mat on the floor to keep the area clean.
At first, one of the workers said he thought the chimney was extremely dirty, but it turned out that was just accumulated dust from when he removed the "stopper." The chimney itself was actually clean. I was glad to have this verified. I had never used the chimney, though I didn't know if the former tenants had when the house was rented out, which was why I took advantage of the Angie's Special Deal.
The two reps were efficient, spending perhaps a total of 20 minutes doing the job.
My only complaint was that. since I never used the chimney, I asked if A&T would be able to remove it, thereby giving me more space in the basement where it was located. The senior representative took a few pictures of the chimney, inside and out, and sent it to his boss who promised a reply about what removal might cost. I never got an answer. (But to be completely fair, I never followed up either.)
This is the second time an Angie's List Deal has proved to be an especially good bargain, When I used a Deal to get my gutters cleaned, the company also found the gutters to be debris-free. You feel better when you don't have to pay top dollar for the service that proved not to be really needed.

"It was a two person crew. They were polite and went right to work. The cleaning portion went off without a hitch. When it came to doing the chimney inspection, they said they couldn't do it. While my house is two stories, they considered my chimney a 3 story chimney and didn't have ladders high enough to reach. So no inspection.

"The service was fine. The only thing is that they were really late coming. So, it was like dark when they got out of here. They left the area good when they were finished. It took them an hour-and-a-half to complete the job. They sent me a picture of the chimney. The price was great. They did show up."

"The company showed up on time and conducted the shingle replacement being careful not to damage the gardens around the house. They brought the roof up to current code, (the roof no longer complied with local codes), and worked with our chimney company to install the flashing properly. The cleanup was performed in an acceptable manner and the work was finished on time. Follow-up inspections by the company and I showed I had a good roof that was going to last another long time. I would definitely recommend this company for roof work."

"Very professional and friendly. I would rely on this company.
They gave me a window of 3 hours to arrive at the property, however I was the 1st appointment of the day so not sure why you can't confirm a time? They also did not call me on their way to the job as discussed
I thought the price was reasonable for the service, however I can't confirm quality. All I know is the job took a lot less than other chimney cleaning services I have had in the past.

"I was very pleased with the work this guy did. My chimney was demolished by a car who crashed into my house and they redid it exactly how it was, preserving the house's original style. They are very responsible and very nice people. If I had to, I would hire them again."

"As promised, Carmine called when he was 45 minutes away from our house so I had plenty of time to leave work and meet him. He was friendly and extremely professional, even asking my permission before entering the house. He even asked me if he could call me "Steve", or would I prefer Mr. Carr. He and his worker Bill were clean and dressed nicely. They spread a blanket in front of the fireplace and cleaned up when they finished. They noticed a water stain on our living room ceiling and offered to check the flashing on the roof. They found a three inch hole and fixed it immediately, provided us with a 7 year warranty. Colonial was half the price of the other Chimney sweeps on Angie's List and it's hard for me to imagine anyone providing better service.

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.
