For the next few weeks he would come remove any trapped mice and reset the traps. So far we have gotten 7 mice out of the house. On the final day he went around the entire house and installed caps on all of the corners of the siding to prevent mice from climbing up. He moved the mulch back and dug down about 4" to keep the ground away for the siding. He dug a hole next to our deck and climbed under it and ultimately found the primary source of entry under a deck. He vacuumed out the dirt on the corners of our front steps where the mice have been entering. He then filled it with caulk and concrete to seal the entryway. He also went around the entire house and filled any areas of potential entry and gave a 100% warranty on them. I was very impressed with Graham. He was very polite, kind, knowledgeable, clean and professional. He always left the job site clean. I would highly recommend him.

We scheduled an appointment for a week later (today). He arrived on time, and put down drop-clothes before doing any work. He answered the questions I had, and several times he answered questions before I had even gotten around to asking them! After he cleaned the chimney and repaired the damper, he took the time to orient me to the basics of my fireplace and chimney since this is the first time we've had a home with a fire place. The damper worked wonderfully after he fixed it, and the fireplace was much more clean! We also knew that the outside of the chimney needed some masonry work. Dan explained at our first phone conversation that he would not be able to fit it in to the schedule in the fall, but perhaps could in the spring. After cleaning the chimney, Dan spent some time with me giving me several do-it-yourself options for inexpensively fixing the masonry work. He was willing to come back in the spring, but he wanted me to know there were other options as well. I appreciated Dan's professionalism, and I will definitely be using him again.

My husband called Lyster Exteriors as they came recommended by a co-worker and we had used them last fall to help determine where a leak might be coming from around the chimney (which was a chimney problem.and not a roofing problem and we were not charged for inspection).

FAQs for chimney cap service projects in Marshall, MI
Chimney caps may be installed by a few different professionals, including a chimney sweep or a mason that specializes in fireplaces and chimneys. A gas fireplace technician is the best person to install a chimney cap on a gas log fireplace vent to be sure the cap is appropriate for the application.
A chimney cap costs about $300 on average. The prices range from about $75 to $1,000, depending on the material, size, any repairs needed, and if your chimney cap requires custom fabrication. Chimney caps are usually made from galvanized steel, copper, or stainless steel. Additional costs may include hiring a chimney sweep to clean the chimney before a cap is installed.
Help reduce energy bills by helping regulate your home’s temperature
Typically, a chimney cap will last from three to 25 years. This wide range is due to variables like climate, the material the cap is made from, and how often you use your fireplace. Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend the life of your chimney cap.
The best style of chimney cap for a brick chimney is one that fits tightly around the brick top of the chimney. The cap should have a screen to fully enclose it to keep animals out. The best materials include stainless steel, copper, or aluminum that fit tightly or are custom fabricated for a perfect fit on your chimney.
