Short version After installation on 4/28 the ball was dropped in many ways by Davison Heating & Cooling – now Davison Home Services. From a missing part (needed in order to pass inspection) that I am still waiting for going on almost 3 months after install, to being double charged for the...
Suggested a simple DIY repair for 2 chimney crowns that he wasn't working on . This was above and beyond!
Absolute Chimney & Masonry Services, LLCLeaking continued after since this wasn't the problem at all. Waisted $1600 to have a patched roof that doesn't look good. After leaking again, they came back (after not returning calls for a while) and said they could repaint the ceiling and couldn't do anything bc the work wasn't...
Palmer ConstructionThe bathroom started leaking after a month. They came out right away. They said a nail came through and they would caulk it. The following summer my son looked at the roof and said the nails were popping up. Also, I had a company remodeling my family room. He noticed my chimney didn't have...
Armstrong Enterprises IncThere were no more leaks around the initial area that first showed up. But during another 2" rainstorm we experienced a leak around the chimney and once notified he was out to the house within an hour or two. As of the last two rainstorms we have not experienced anymore leaks. I was so...
Elieff Brothers Roofing IncRay was very professional and helpful. He drove 40 miles to get to our house, but did not charge extra. The quoted price was a flat-rate fee for chimney cleaning, but he actually provided much more. He identified a missing weight on the fireplace flue and rather than sell us something...
They were on my property for just over an hour. Most of that was cleaning the chimney for the agreed $165. The last 20 min were attaching a new cap instead of returning the existing cap. The new cap was put on backwards.
He is great. We have him for five or six years. Phil Tozier is the owner. He gives his repeat customers a 10% discount. It is a $127 but that is with a 10% discount, so I think it is a $140 for our chimney. We have a wood burner. I do not know if it does make a difference, whether with the...

"Shawn arrived early for the appointment to clean and inspect the chimney. He was supposed to return a week later to make the repairs. He didn't call and didn't show. We tried numerous times to call and email with no reply (one of the phone numbers is disconnected, the other goes to an automated message). Our check has been cashed for the cleaning but at this point we don't really trust that is was done. We are looking for a new company to clean and fix the chimney."

"For the last two months I have been hearing faint clicking or scratching sounds coming from an area near a ceiling light in the living room. I called and scheduled an inspection. I was told that the price for the inspection would be $185. Even though the noise had stopped a week or so before the scheduled inspection, I decided to go ahead with the inspection, thinking that whatever was making the noise would probably come back. Aaron arrived on time. He listened to a recording that I had made of the scratching sound, and he said he thought a rodent might have nested itself in the attic. He then walked around the exterior of the house, looking for areas where a rodent might enter. He also walked on the roof and looked up through the hatch of the attic. The inspection took around 15 minutes. He found one possible entry point on the side of the house and sealed it with material that matched the appearance of the surrounding siding. He asked if I wanted him to set traps near the attic hatch, but I declined since the noise had stopped and the hatch was 25 feet away from the source of the noise. The day after the inspection, the scratching sounds returned. I think I need to find someone who will go into the attic area in order to find the source of the noise."

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.
Yes, it’s worth capping a chimney. Here are several reasons to install a chimney cap:
Keep out rain, snow, wildlife, and other debris
Help prevent chimney fires
Reduce your chimney’s exposure to moisture
Maintain your chimney flue liner
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.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
Chimney cap repair costs depend on the material, type of repair, and whether you need any prep work. Here’s a guide to help you budget for your chimney cap project.
