"Community Chimney responded immediately to my request through Home Advisor to schedule a visit to our home to provide a free estimate, and was onsite within a few days to assess the job requirements. During the visit, Sergio pointed out several items that he felt I should consider in scoping the job, all of which were sensible and appropriate. Their proposal detailed the cost of each phase of the work so I could down-select tasks as desired, The total proposed cost and estimated time to complete the work were very reasonable, and represented a much better value than what was proposed by estimates from other companies I consulted. After the start date for the job was postponed because of weather-related reasons, Sergio put more crew on the job than originally planned and completed the job in a single day (on Saturday!), without decreasing the scope of the job or increasing the cost. The company drilled-out and replaced approximately 40 spalling bricks from the face of our two-story home, including some that were very hard to access, and rebuilt the top of one of our chimneys after removing an old television antenna. They also installed stainless steel covers on each of our two chimneys, Afterwards, Sergio walked around the job site with me pointing out what they had done and where. The work was pleasing in appearance and complete, and all debris was picked up and removed from the property."

"We called to have our chimneys inspected because we had a bat in our home. Tim inspected both chimneys and the roof. He removed the caps and installed stainless steel screens over the flue opening on both fireplaces to help prevent bat intrusion through the flue. He did an excellent job. During his inspection, Tim noticed a hole in the b-vent chimney. Tim installed a new b-vent chimney from the basement to the roof. He connected it to the water heater and the furnace. There was no damage to our drywall which he had explained was a possibility during installation. They did an excellent job of cleaning up the debris and removing the existing pipe. We would highly recommend Top Shelf Chimneys."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Fall is generally considered the best time of year for roof repairs. The weather is temperate and typically drier, which makes for safer working conditions and fewer delays. The days are also still long enough to complete the work.

Spring is another good option and is a popular time for repairs to fix damage from winter storms. However, frequent rainfall can slow down progress. Spring may be a less busy season for roofers than fall.

Summer can also work for roof repairs, but extreme heat can make asphalt shingles too soft and difficult to work with.

The length of time you can leave a leaking roof before it causes damage will vary greatly depending on a variety of factors. The best approach when it comes to roof leaks is to play it safe and fix it as soon as possible, whether you take the DIY route or hire a roofing professional to inspect, diagnose, and repair the problem.

In many areas, chimney repair companies need to be licensed, but it depends on your state and local municipality. You can check with your local building department to see if companies need licenses, and then you can use Angi’s license lookup tool to confirm that the company you’re considering holds the proper license. It’s a good idea to confirm that the professional is fully insured, and you can ask about certification from organizations like the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA). These certifications aren’t mandatory, but they help ensure a professional repair.

EPDM roofing has exceptional waterproof capabilities, so water pooling on an EPDM roof typically isn't an issue in terms of leaking. However, water should not sit on the roof for more than 48 hours, as it can become a significant problem that requires immediate attention. To reduce the risk of damage, any EPDM roof should have a proper drainage system. If you notice ongoing issues with water pooling, you should call a roofing professional to check for underlying problems like a clogged roof drain or structural shifting.

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.
