"Ken & Cam installed a Chimney cover and repaired mortar that was degrading around chimney. Took pictures before and after and made sure the customer was satisfied with the pricing. Work was professionally done and they showed up in a timely manner."

"We have found their customer service to always be helpful however we have had a lot of problems with the components that they send out for home owners to install themselves. We have had trouble keeping those things in place you know if the door heats or cools too much the adhesive on the door monitor will fall off.  We have had a number of false alarms with the front door system, they waived one for us when I was able to demonstrate that their call had not reached my phone although their records said that they had called and I believe that they did but my records show that I never received the call which was also true so they agree to waive it but we have paid for one false alarm where the Seattle police have come out and we've had numerous other false alarms, mostly related to a motion detector in our living room so were kind of living in an ambivalent situation at some point right now where basically when you buy that package and install everything you commit to like a two, you know its like having a cell phone you commit to a multi year contract. We have at few times to get action out of them that we needed we have threatened to leave and threatened  to really push the issue, we haven't done that yet. Another thing is we had enough issues with component install at the back door of our house does not have a door open detector on it it just simply wouldn't work for us so the house is only partially protected. I wouldn't recommend Frontpoint to anyone right now I think there a lot of bugs that aren't well worked out. It hasn't lived up to it's so-called A reputation."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

In most cases, yes, you will need to be home while your roof inspector checks your roof. The inspector will be able to complete the exterior assessment without input from you, but they will also need access to your attic space to look for signs of leaking, like pest infestation, water stains, mold growth, and visible holes leading to the exterior. They will also check the roof trusses, rafters, and supports to confirm their structural integrity. Roof inspections usually take between two and three hours, so plan accordingly.

While some homeowners may feel confident conducting their own roof inspections, hiring a professional roofing inspector is recommended for a safe and accurate assessment. Professional roof inspectors have the knowledge and experience to identify even the smallest signs of damage or potential issues and they can spot problems that may go unnoticed by an untrained eye.

Roofing estimates and inspections are not the same thing. Roofing inspections (whether done with a drone or by the traditional method) help you find any damage or defects on a roof. You will pay a set fee for a roofing inspection and use it to get certification or to determine whether repair or replacement is necessary. Beware of unsolicited contractors coming to your home and offering a so-called free roof inspection—these are often scams.

Roofing estimates, on the other hand, are typically free and offered by a roofing company hoping to earn your business. Some roofing estimates are performed with drones, while other companies will still opt to send people up onto the roof. Either way, the estimate is for roof repair or replacement costs the company wants you to hire them for.

It’s possible to install your chimney cap in some areas, but it’s usually better to hire a professional. Before you attempt a DIY chimney cap installation, check to see if your local building department requires a permit. If it does, you should hire a professional to pull the permit and complete the work for you. Even if you don’t need a permit, getting up on your roof is dangerous, especially if you have an aggressive pitch or slippery roof material, like metal. Hiring a chimney professional guarantees the job is done correctly and keeps you safe from injury.

Inspections for new construction may not be legally required, but you should consider them a must if you’re buying a new home. The quality of the construction can vary widely by builder, and many inspections, even for brand-new homes, can uncover problems with framing, structural components, mechanicals, appliances, and more. Professional inspection reports give you leverage to push the associated repair costs to the builder rather than paying for them yourself, so they’re always worthwhile, if only for the peace of mind they provide.
