"Omar gave me a great quote for the repair work on my chimney that he inspected. Omar made a few recommendations which I agreed to and the repair was very well done. I would highly recommend MCBRIENS Fire and Flu."

"Can’t say enough about how professional this company was with the inspection and estimate we received. They were super honest about the condition of our chimney(it’s in really good shape no work needed), so I trust them with the replacement of our liner. I know we are getting a quality product because it’s life time guaranteed. Work is schedule for a couple weeks out. I will add more to my review then."

"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

An inspection can take up to an hour, depending on the type of AC system you have. If you need to add more refrigerant, expect an extra 30 to 45 minutes.

Yes, all roofs can benefit from flashing. Roof flashing can protect a property from water damage, roof leaks, mold, and other serious issues. It’s vital if you’d like to extend the lifespan of your roof and avoid costly repairs down the road.

Walking on any roofing material is dangerous, so you should avoid it if you can, but if the need arises, you should know that you can walk on a concrete tile roof without damaging it. Try to step on the bottom portions of the tile that are supported by the lower layer, and distribute your weight evenly across both feet and hands, if possible.

EPDM roofs have a few common problems, most of which can be resolved with regular maintenance. This type of roofing is laid down in sheets with seams, which can be a starting point for leaks. Proper installation and roof sealing can often avoid seam issues. 

The material is also susceptible to tears and punctures from falling branches or other sharp objects. There are black and white versions of EPDM, and the black version is more prone to fade and succumb to UV damage. Regular roof inspections can protect the costs of rubber roof installation and extend the life of your roof.

While it’s technically possible to repoint a chimney without scaffolding, it’s not recommended, especially for taller chimneys. Scaffolding provides a stable platform that allows for safer and more precise work. Without it, you might find yourself in a risky situation, and the quality of the repointing could suffer.
