"I am a residential home repairman, and I accepted a job from a customer to stop water leaking into the basement around their chimney after rain. I caulked outside along the sides of the chimney and around the top cap. This reduced, but did not stop the leaking. I thoroughly researched chimney sweeps, and recommended Sixpenny Chimney Sweeps to my customer. Sixpenny Chimney Sweeps came and examined the chimney, and returned several days later to make repairs. They were honest and professional. They replaced the chimney cap/screen at the top, and repaired a row of bricks outside. They also sprayed sealer on all the bricks outside. Post-repairs, there was no more water in the basement after inclement weather. Work was done efficiently and looked great. Their price was reasonable. I would definitely recommend them again, if another chimney-related problem arises."

"Professional and timely. Also received an estimate to repair a chimney that included substantial masonry repairs but we decided not to perform the work at this time but estimate appeared reasonable and in line with other companies for the proposed work."

"Mr. Thomas, Dwight and crew performed the level 2 chimney inspection (only/no sweep requested) and repaired the brick/masonry of the chimney, including repacing the flue liner and repair of the chimney box. They provided literature, kept me highly informed of status, arrival, appointments, and work progress. They also completed a beautiful job on my neighbor's chimney rebuild/replace. The work looks really great and it is apparent that Mr. Thomas, Dwight, and the masonry crew take pride in their workmanship and quality. The job was completed within 2 days and so far, everything is looks fantastic. Waiting for a cool day to crank up the fireplace. They also provided a professional lamination card and pen for reminders of next year's chimney sweep. I only slightly hit the value as I would have loved the inspection price to be part of the repair and the receipt, but overall, great experience, great A+ rating on BBB and both licensed and bonded. Obtained via Angi/home advisor"

"We initially booked a chimney sweep, because smoke was getting into the house. When the cleaner showed up, he inspected the chimney and found that a cleaning was not necessary and didn't charge for it, and instead walked us through steps to talk to better operate the chimney. Since then, smoke has not been an issue."

"Sergio and his crew did a professional repair within the two days quoted in the proposal. Sergio clearly explained all aspects of the job (fireplace and flue relining, masonry repair) and went over everything with me once the job was complete. I would hire Community Chimney again in the future."

"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."

"Project title is not the work performed - work was installing chimney cap. Rene of R&J Quality, LLC was extremely responsive (within 15 minutes) to my request to have a new chimney cap installed after the existing one had blown off due to extreme rust and age. From my vantage point on the ground, the second chimney cap appeared to be intact. He agreed to install the cap the next day even though there was snow and ice on the roof. Due to additional snowfall on the day of install, we agreed to reschedule for his safety on the roof. Two days later Rene came and installed the chimney cap despite there still being snow on the roof. He arrived at my home at the time he promised. He was very friendly and started working immediately. He took photos of the missing and exiting chimney cap. After examining the exiting cap, he showed me that it was also very rusty and that it would eventually need to be replaced. I appreciated him telling me about the condition of the existing cap. He did not try to hard sell me a new cap but rather was bringing the condition of the exiting cap to my attention. I thought it wise to have the other cap upgraded and replaced while he was here. I was very impressed with Rene and the work he performed. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing chimney work done. The cost of the two caps and labor was very fair and reasonable. If you want someone who is responsive, reliable, professional and fair, call Rene of R&J Quality, LLC."

"Very professional. Good communication as to arrival and what work was going to be done. Jamie is a pleasure to work with. I've had him clean my dryer vents several times over the last few years. Will also be using him and his crew to fix some issues with a chimney. Highly recommend."

Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

When water penetrates wood, the wood swells, causing the wood and veneer to separate. This separation creates bubbles on the surface of your furniture. If water spills on wood veneer, it needs to be dried ASAP. Surface spills can cause minor damages like white spots and blushing, but if you’re slow to action, you’re looking at more work—and spending—to restore your wood veneer.

Cupping and bowing are both types of wood warping, but they affect the board in different ways. Cupping happens when the edges of a board curl upward or downward, creating a concave or convex shape across its width. Conversely, bowing is when the board curves along its length, forming a gentle arc. 

Yes, vinegar can break down the adhesive bond, effectively dissolving the glue from wood. It will be much easier to wipe away. Vinegar’s acidity, which helps to make it an effective all-purpose cleaner, can also aid in removing adhesive with less chance of damaging the wood and finish than more aggressive solvents. 

A drawer falling out of place usually indicates there’s too much in it, so the best place to start is by emptying it of any non-essential items to check whether it was simply a weight issue. If that’s not the case, check whether the front panel or hardware is damaged, and replace parts as necessary. You may need to replace the drawer or the drawer slides if the issue persists.

Yes, you can save moldy wood furniture by removing the mold as soon as you notice it. Mold can penetrate and damage porous wood, though, so waiting to clean it could lead to significant damage. If a large coverage area of mold grows over several months, you may want to ask a professional to try to save the piece. If the damage is bad enough, though, even a pro might not be able to save it.
