"Mark and his "right hand," Liz are a pleasure to deal with, they're like friends. I've had Mark's skilled and friendly crew clean the boiler chimney and repair the chimney cap. Mark's crew is clearly knowledgeable and works with care and artistry. Both projects reasonably priced compared to other contractors. I highly recommend Eastern Chimney."

"I called and left Dan a message, and he promptly returned my call. Came out within a couple of days and was able to quickly tell me what the problem was. Worker who was sent out to complete the repair was professional and polite, and also pointed out an issue he noticed (with some missing shingles around the chimney) while he was up on the roof. This was a very small job, and one that I would expect would get passed over repeatedly for bigger jobs, but they got it done in a reasonable amount of time, and I would use their services again. (I have used them before, at a different house, for a new roof, and was pleased with that service as well).
