"Great service. Omar inspected my chimney and provided a written quote to repair the top part of my chimney and install a chimney cap. He explained the process and set a date for the work. Diego and Dre did a great job repairing the chimney and installed the chimney cap all in one day and cleaned up everything."

"We hired Josh to completely transform our fireplace area and couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial inspection to the final install, everything was explained clearly and handled professionally. The stonework and stove setup came out absolutely beautiful and completely changed the feel of the room. Josh was clean, punctual, and took real pride in his work. The before and after difference is night and day. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality chimney or stove work done right."

"Mark was the only chimney company that advertised emergency service that could come and inspect my chimney after a significant fire on the same day. All others were 5-6 days out. Showed up inspected did a recline for me on a Sunday to get me up and running again. Appreciated that aspect of his service. However seemed to be a little disorganized and was having issues finding reliable help in the off season. Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt as he seemed to be fighting off the flu also. As far as the quality of his work it was good and he was fair with his pricing . Would give him another try."

Chimney Inspection FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, suggesting repairs, gutter cleaning, and sealing as needed.

Architectural shingles and impact-resistant shingles aren’t mutually exclusive, which means some architectural shingles are impact-resistant shingles. Architectural shingles are thicker and more durable than standard 3-tab shingles, and they become even stronger when they also have high impact resistance and wind resistance ratings. The most durable shingles for areas with extreme weather are architectural or luxury shingles that have a Class-4 impact resistance and a Class-H wind resistance that can stand up to winds reaching 150 mph.

The average cost for a residential roof inspection is typically between $150 and $500, with some homeowners paying as much as $1,000 or more. The national average is around $225. Key factors that influence the final price include the roof's size and complexity, its accessibility (a high pitch can increase cost due to risk), and the roofing material, as specialty types like slate may require a specialist. Other variables are your geographic location, the inspector's expertise, and the specific services included in the inspection. To get an accurate estimate, it is best to obtain quotes from several reputable roofing professionals in your area.

A sagging, cracked, or uneven foundation, worn or outdated electrical systems, poor plumbing, and slow sewer lines are all common deal breakers that stem from home inspections. Musty odors, uneven floors, and sticky doors and windows may also be deal breakers that will tell you when to to walk away from a home inspection.

Maybe you waited a little longer than you should have before dealing with the snow accumulation on your roof, and now you are wondering if there is risk of roof collapse. Here are some signs you should look out for: a sagging roof, cracking and cracking sounds, cracks in walls, and leaks in your attic and ceiling.

If you suspect potential roof collapse, do not delay. Take immediate action. Call a professional roofing company and get an inspection. You may want to move your belongings to a safe place and relocate your family until everything has been taken care of.
