I didn't even have to pick up the phone to make appointment as I was promptly contacted by their very courteous staff (a great first impression) not more than a day later. The day of my appointment, I had written down the time block wrong (9a-1pm instead of 1p-5p) and when I contacted their office, I was once again pleasantly surprised by excellent customer service and they quickly set about reworking the schedule for later in the day. I expected the technician to be irritable due to the last minute schedule change but that wasn't the case. Dean (I think) had such a great attitude and clearly enjoys his job as he took a good deal of time assessing the vent situation as well as climbing on the roof to identify if uncapped chimney was actually being used for other vent purposes (it wasn't) and providing me with options for capping (very reasonable pricing). My vent cleaning was definitely not a simple task (remember, 10-years of built up lint = blockages in vent bends, etc.), however, Dean took the time to ensure the job was done properly. Clean as a whistle. A very good experience from start to finish. I will be using Dr. Sweep again for chimney cap and most likely conversion of wood burning fireplace to gas.

Glen told me he needed double the cement that was in the package. He told me that the supplier was being cheap. I agreed to pay for more cement for under the poles. I found out later that it was because he wanted to use his 22" auger to dig the holes, instead of digging standard 8" holes.
2. Installed the 4" x 6" poles in the wrong direction, wide side to the in/outside. They were put in on Friday and I was not home. I called him about this, leaving a message. He did not respond, but when he came the next week, he told me they have to run them that way to have more to nail to. I learned from the building inspector that I was correct (when he came for the final inspection).
3. The morning they were to pour the concrete floor, I went out before the concrete came, noticed and told him that the floor drains looked higher than the sides. He assured me that he used the transit and they were not. He also ran the drain out the back of the building when I had asked him to run it out the left side because it was lower. He told me they were identical in depth, because he had checked with his transit. I know this to be untrue, because the site had to be filled from zero on the right, to about 18" on the left. When the concrete was complete, he told me it wasn't perfect, but probably an A- or a B+. When I went to look after they left that day, I couldn't believe how bad the concrete was. The drains were, indeed, the highest spots on the concrete. As it happened, it rained for a short time that evening, and while I know it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to have a perfectly shaped floor, there are pools everywhere. I put rocks on the drains, so my pictures would show that the drains are not operable. There are also footprints in the concrete and many, many rough areas. It was very clear that he had not done 100 floors before. I called him and asked him to tell me a good reason to not stop payment on the check for the concrete ($4750). He told me it's NOT THAT BAD and no inspector is going to make him tear that out. I asked him about his insurance. He told me I'd have to go to court to get money from the insurance. I do not know if that is true or not. He offered to lower the amount due at the end of the project by $500 (the amount of the materials for the drains x 2). I told him I would call him back because I had to think about it. He called me back and I agreed to that because I felt I had no other option based on what he told me.
4. The OSB sheeting was put up vertically, with a horizontal pieces at the top on some walls, and at the bottom on others. Again, I did not babysit, because I kept thinking they should know what they are doing. Usually OSB is run horizontally and the sheets are staggered. The inspector verified that I was correct on that, also.
5. The windows are framed differently from one wall to the other, as if they weren't sure how to do it at first.
6. After they had the first wall of steel up, I went out to look at it. I immediately noticed that the screws were not uniformly placed. I drove to the supplier, looked at their sample wall, and got an installation booklet to take back to the worker. The other three walls are done correctly per manufacturers instructions, but it could not be fixed on the first wall because the damage was done. It happens to be the only flat wall (no doors or windows), so it is very obvious.
Aside: This two week project took 5 1/2 weeks to complete. Every time I spoke with Glen he yelled at me about how he wasn't making any money on this job. The fact was, he wasn't really AT the job more than a few days over the entire project. He would stop in for a short time every week or so to talk to his help and he was here to dig the post holes and to set up for and finish the concrete. Every time there was a problem and I had to call him he complained that he wasn't making any money. There was a glitch in that the steel for the roof and one wall were ordered incorrectly, but the guy(s) worked every day, so it didn't stop them from working. I should let you know that there really was only one construction worker building this and one other person who came many days for at least part of the day to help, but he could only do as he was instructed, because (and he told me himself) he didn't really know what to do. If Glen had shown up to work, he could have finished closer to deadline and maybe even stopped a few errors. He told his worker that he didn't want to be at the worksite unless he had to be.
6. Soffit material was cut short and didn't cover the framing lumber. When I asked the worker about it, he told me he was afraid he was going to run short, and he figured that the trim would cover it. Normally if you run short, you get another piece, you don't do sub-standard work.
7. Glen told me where they were going to put the steel walls, showing me the lower left front corner, which is highest off the ground. Then he asked me if that was ok. Since that is where the OSB was, I said, yeah, you have to cover the OSB. I wondered why he asked me, because he didn't ask me about anything else. I would later learn that his help objected to the level, and why. After three sides of steel were on, I was looking at the front of the building and noticed that the siding was going to end up below final grade on the right, front and back. Actually, the driveway would be OVER the siding by about 5" in order to go up to the level of the concrete to be able to drive in. I spoke to the worker who told me about his earlier difference of opinion with Glen. I referred to the manufacturer's manual, which shows the steel 4" above the concrete and I called Glen immediately and told him we have a major problem with the building (voice mail). When he called me back and I told him how the level of the steel would not work out, his immediate response was, "YOU TOLD me I could put it there!" I told him that he is the builder and he is the one who should be catching these mistakes, not me. He drove out and told me he needed more money to keep working, again telling me he's not making any money on this job. (Our contract was for $3750 up front and the balance on completion.) When I told him he wasn't getting the rest until he was done, he shouted to his guys to wrap it up, they're leaving, then turned to me and threatened to put a lien on my house and that he can do that because he's licensed. He yelled several things that they did that he claimed he wasn't getting paid for. I just walked away and went into the house. At this point, I had had way too much, and I was almost glad they would be leaving. He eventually came up to the house and we discussed how to fix the problem. I had to be the one to tell him that we needed to run another row of V-board and cut off the OSB. I believe that if he had been reputable, he should have addressed the problem as soon as he knew it wasn't going to work out. Another row of V-board could have been run much easier earlier in the build. Now all the steel would have to be cut off on the bottom. He showed me a few ways of cutting the steel and we agreed to use the shears. He then went to town and added 3 cutting blades to my bill. They were not used on the job and he kept them. "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mi/alpena/wildcat-construction-reviews-6334688.htm"},"position":10}]}

"The whole process of quoting, sales presentation, finance arrangement, installation was simple, timely, professional, complete and painless. The price was very competitive, the installation was smooth and prompt, and the end product is thing of beauty. This review is from a homeowner who has had a couple of terrible furnace experiences in the past decade."

"They did repair the furnace and the chimney lining (which they'd put in about 8 years prior when they were known as Bob's Sheet Meta)l. I paid them $1065 for the repair and was grateful they could fix the problem. One week after they performed the work, my ceiling and chimney began leaking. I hired a construction company to find/repair the leak and the guy let me know that he found pieces of sheet metal on my roof and wondered why. I explained about the furnace job the week before. He also found that there was no seal between the flue and heating cap on the chimney top. He called Byron's and spoke with someone who authorized him to finish their work. I had to pay the construction company $750 to repair the damage caused by Byron's. I gave Byron ample opportunity to do the right thing (reimburse me the $750) and even offered to accept a credit instead. Byron refused to accept any accountability and instead was mad at the construction company for "throwing him under the bus". There are many good repair folks in and around Houghton, MI but sadly I've learned this is is not one of the reputable companies."

FAQs for chimney inspection projects in Harrisville, MI
The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.

If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
On average, chimney repairs cost about $455. However, because of the vast range of potential repairs needed, the cost to repair a chimney ranges widely from $160 to $15,000, depending on the type and extent of repairs required.
