I have had problems with ice daming for years that I felt was a problem with the chimney, not the roof. The insurance company sent a roofing expert to inspect the problem who never even went inside the house and said the metal roof was installed incorrectly.THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. The flashing was installed to the manufacturers specifications and the cedar siding ,which was 20 years old , failed. The "expert roofer" for the insurance company didn't even look at the chimney as I had requested. He just wanted to tell the insurance company what they wanted to hear so they wouldn't have to pay for the extensive water damage to the interior. Joel not only re-flashed the chimney to twice the manufacturers recommendations but also got a masonry expert to work with him and rebuild the chimney to prevent ice damming. He repeatedly told me he wanted to make it right and he did and only really charged me for materials. Moiral of the story...stick with who you know and who knows your house and the area.
Joel is great and honest."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mi/traverse-city/mac-custom-homes-reviews-5560653.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Dr Sweep","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MI","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Elizabeth G."},"reviewBody":"They discovered that there was a crack that that they repaired for me and it was done at a very reasonable price.

Chimney Inspection reviews from real Angi homeowners in New Boston, MI
Excellent experience! Home Care is a very professional business and our concerns were handled courteously and promptly. An appointment for a thorough inspection of the exterior and interior of the chimney was arranged shortly after our first call. The compromised part of the chimney was...
They did a great job at an excellent price. Every other company I called for an estimate wanted to tear down the entire chimney. Dan was the only one who explained why it wasn't necessary and did the repairs at a fraction of the cost. The work was excellent. I highly recommend them.

"Critical: Professionalism, Value I called Omega to check out smoke transfer between flues. Al quoted flue top dampers at $900 each and cleanings at $300 each. He said he would need to schedule a day to do the work. Thinking this must be an extensive project, I bought it. Ten days later I finally was called to say they would come that afternoon to do it. After the cleaning they glued dampers to the tops of the flues and were done in about 45 minutes. Al defended his $750/hour labor rate and double cleaning rate, saying it was due to his "high overhead" costs that I didn't understand. I still don't understand. Omega Construction is aptly named, they are the last one you should think of calling. They apparently only maintain their good BBB rating because the BBB doesn't consider "pricing issues" or "buyer's remorse" in their calculations. BBB is basically another way to advertise."

"Detroit City Sweep came to two of my properties to repair a total of three fireplaces. They did a fine job repairing one gas fireplace and adding caps to my chimney. I had a second gas fireplace that they needed to order a part for. I had to call them half a dozen times to get them to order the part and come back to the house to install it. When they finally did, it turns out they ordered the wrong part. After multiple calls they came out a second time, and again, it was the wrong part. Three weeks passed and on the third visit they brought the wrong part again and said the correct part was going to cost me twice what they originally quoted. I would like to recommend Detroit City Sweep, but I just can't. "

FAQs for chimney inspection projects in New Boston, 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 you add a hearth to your fireplace, you can expect to pay between $3 and $200per square foot. However, if you're refacing your fireplace, the price tag will depend on your chosen materials. 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.
