"I called them and Justin and Jim were able to come out the same day and sweep and inspect our two chimneys. They were great to deal with. While they were here, they also cleaned out gutters the price was as initially quoted and was very reasonable. I plan to use them again soon."

"Chimney experts was very professional in both scheduling and the job. Al was very thorough to not only look at the chimney, but also to stay with me until we had fully built a fire and had it burning long enough to run a full test of the appliance. Would highly suggest for inspection and installation- they know the business well."

"This was an excellent experience- we were contacted promptly and Christian provided a clear explanation of what he found during inspection, tiered options of work based on our needs and helped us plan for future projects related to the chimney that did not require immediate attention. We will definitely be repeat customers!"

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Most traditional lenders will not loan against a house with a leaking roof, and some lenders won’t lend against a home with a roof near the end of its lifespan. If the roof on your new home is in poor condition, you may need to have the seller offer a credit for a roof replacement after closing, or you can opt for a renovation loan—also called a 203k loan—to bundle the house and the roof replacement into one loan.

Many insurance policies will not cover a roof with two layers of shingles. An additional layer of shingles increases the risk of various kinds of damage, and insurers typically won’t pay claims on a roof with an overlay. Adding a layer of shingles may even jeopardize your insurance coverage entirely, so check your policy to ensure you stay within coverage guidelines. 

Yes, installing snow guards is highly recommended for metal roofs, especially if you live in an area with moderate to heavy snowfall. Metal roofs have smooth, slick surfaces that offer little traction, which can cause large, heavy loads of snow and ice to slide off all at once in a dangerous "rooftop avalanche."

This sudden release of snow can cause serious injury to anyone below and damage personal property, such as cars or landscaping.

Snow guards act as a barrier, holding the snow on the roof so it can melt and slide off in smaller, more controlled amounts. While low-slope metal roofs in areas with very little snow might not strictly require them, installing snow guards is a valuable safety measure to protect your family and property.

In most cases, inspection costs are not included in closing costs. The inspection is usually a standalone expense the buyer or seller covers by choice. Closing costs are normally required and designed to cover other costs, such as appraisal fees, title search fees, and attorney fees.

No, there’s no specific building code that requires a roof overhang. However, installing your roof with the standard 2-inch overhang is good practice, as it helps direct runoff away from your fascia boards and roof decking and into your gutters. Some overhang is especially important in areas that see heavy rainfall and snowfall, as the risk of water getting under the roofing material and causing water damage is much higher.
