Best chimney repair specialists near Dunkirk, MD

"Richard Thomas and his team with Chimney Discounters is a great company! Our 35+ year old chimney was showing its age with broken bricks falling from the top. Luckily the damage hadn't gotten too bad, and Richard was able to repair the broken brick, lay a new cement crown, scrape and remove algae build up, placed a new rain/animal guard, and sprayed the chimney with water repellant. All the debris was removed from our yard and driveway when they completed the work. Richard is extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with! Hopefully we won't need anymore repairs, but we know who to call if we do. We fully recommend Chimney Discounters!!"

"Mark was quick to call to discuss my repair service, explained what the charge would be and was able to schedule the repair service very quickly. I was contacted the day before the appointment to confirm and received a call about a half hour before they were actually arriving. The 2 gentlemen who came to do the repair work were on time; very professional; wore masks and were able to solve the issue with my gas fireplace. They also added a fan to help make my fireplace more efficient and it was a bit on the pricey side, but we're still glad we splurged on it. We wouldn't hesitate to call Masters Chimney & Hearth in the future for any repair work. Given the challenge that getting repair work scheduled during Covid presents, we appreciated being able to get this repair done within a week of calling to schedule."

"Highly professional! Was clearly concerned with making sure my property was left in the same condition it was before he started. Careful moving items out of the way and putting multiple tarps down. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer all my questions and explain exactly what he was doing during the repair. Will definitely use again in the future as well as recommend to anyone looking! Jeremy"

"First Class Chimney was able to schedule an emergency visit to clean and repair my chimney and wood stove that had not been done properly the day before by A1 Chimney Sweep. Tony and Marco from First Class Chimney are the Best!"

"Very meticulous work or more so craftsmanship. Looks to be a new far more robust chimney than was present on home when new. Awaiting concrete to cure then they will water proof the entire chimney. Very pleased"

"Wow - punctual, courteous, professional, honest, and couldn't have asked for more.  First of all, a quick comment:  Most of the "A" rated services would not accept my business because I have pellet stove inserts.  I assume this is simply because the stove has to be pulled out and disconnected.  Metropolitan Chimney Masonry Service Inc. accepted immediately, and was very prompt and professional throughout. 
   Our rep showed up exactly on time, and explained everything that was to be done.  He was very careful while moving items around to gain access to the pellet stove, and answered all of my questions thoroughly.  He was very pleasant to work with.
    Special note:  I was a bit worried, as I have never employed a chimney sweep before, and a neighbor said that she needed to have a lot of work done.  Since it's a bit like taking your car into the shop (your flux capacitor is shot), the average Joe doesn't really know what's really needed in the dark recesses of our chimneys.  I was both relieved and very impressed with his explanation that my chimney was in fact in "very good" shape, no special or significant repairs were needed, and it was not very dirty at all (pellets produce low ash, he explained).  The crown is a bit worn re the masonry, and he showed my a picture and explained what a new crown would do to prevent rain water from seeping into the bricks.  I never felt any pressure, and everything was explained thoroughly.
All in all, outstanding service from a company I trust, and I will definitely be a return customer.  Joe (the average Joe I mentioned earlier)!

"The technicians redid the bricks so that you couldn't even tell they were repaired. It looked beautiful. They put in a new liner in the chimney and waterproofed it. They redid the inside of the fireplace to bring it up to code and put in a chain that easily opens and closes the flue. It looks so good and easy that I may decide to use the fireplace again. They redid the pipes in the basement so the fumes from the boiler and hot water heater went up the chimney in the correct way. There had been water damage and they corrected the damage and closed off the hole in the wall (foundation) and made a bigger hole in the correct place so that everything was up to code. They were polite, efficient and worked very hard to get the work done in the promised two days. I have interviewed many companies and found this company to be straight-forward in telling me what they would do and didn't try to tell me they were giving me a "good deal." Rather I feel they gave me an honest estimate on what needed to be done and didn't try to pressure me into using their company. They did give me 10% off because I was an Angie's List customer. What company to use was a hard decision for me because I knew nothing about chimney repair. Because so much of the repair was inside the chimney I couldn't tell what they had done. Based on my experience I feel they did a good job. I don't have a picture of the repaired chimney but it looks great--better than it did before the bricks fell. If someone wants more detail I can copy exactly what they did from the invoice. Also, maybe the company can show a picture of the finished product. Since it is summer time I haven't had any experience using the chimney but will let you know how things work out during the winter."

"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."
