"I was contacted the same day I submitted my inquiry and had a scheduled appointment with in 24 hours. Finest Chimney contacted me 25 minutes before they arrived and they were exactly on time. Cleaning took about 20 minutes and they were very thorough and professional. They even gave me some feed back about future roof/chimney repairs. I will definitely call Finest Chimney Sweep for our future needs."

"I really liked this company. The quality of their work was first rate. I really appreciated their expertise and professionalism. The folks who did the work were extremely courteous, informative, and very neat considering working in fireplaces and chimneys is not the cleanest job. Their pricing was fair and competitive. As much as I would have liked to give them 5 stars all around, we had a communication disconnect. Although they ultimately dealt with it in a highly satisfactory manner, in the process it caused much consternation at a time that was overall quite stressful for us. We were in the process of selling our home, which sold almost immediately resulting in a move-out schedule far more compressed than we had anticipated. Repair of the chimney and fireplaces was the major contingency on the sales contract. After an extensive and thorough inspection, their estimate for returning them to working order was $4,100. I relayed this to my realtor who felt that the scope of work could be reduced and still meet the contingency. I discussed this with American Chimney Sweeps, and they gave me a revised quote that was about half the original. I made a point of explaining to them that, were we staying in the home, we would proceed with the full scope of work, but at this point we wanted to do only the minimum necessary to satisfy the contingency, i.e., "Inspect and clean chimney and fireplaces and return to working order." With this understanding, we scheduled the work. Upon completion the technician wrote on the receipt that the fireplaces were unsafe and constituted a fire hazard absent the completion of the full scope of work as specified in the original quote. Clearly there was a serious miscommunication between the technical and the management people at American Chimney Sweeps. In my attempts to resolve this I spent more time speaking to their answering machine than to company personnel. The balance of the work was finally scheduled and completed on a timely basis. Again, the quality of the work was excellent. They apologized profusely and gave us a discount for the inconvenience. We prefer and like to support small businesses like this one, which happens to be woman-owned. Were we staying in Northern Virginia, we wouldn't hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them. No company is perfect. Mistakes and miscommunication occur. The difference is in how they deal with them. American Chimney Sweeps resolved this quite satisfactorily and did redeem themselves."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

To ensure optimal roof health, it’s a good idea to get an inspection once a year. However, certain factors may require more frequent checks. If your area experiences severe weather conditions such as hailstorms, high winds, or heavy snowfall, it is advisable to inspect your roof afterward. Older roofs are more susceptible to wear and tear, so if your roof is approaching its expected lifespan or has yet to be inspected in several years, it’s a good idea to schedule a roof inspection or estimate.

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.

Your deck may pop, and your neighbor’s deck may not for a number of reasons. Whether or not a deck pops will depend on how it was made, the conditions it’s exposed to, and the materials. Improper spacing is a common reason for increased pressure between deck boards. Moisture penetration is another.

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. 

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.
