After the work was completed, we sat down and reviewed numerous pictures that he had taken of the roof to document the repairs and show me the condition of the shingles and the flashing around the chimney and vents. Needless to say, I was happy ( and relieved) to hear that my roof should be OK for years to come. There wasn't any "sales pitch", just an honest and professional assessment. I will definitely be calling on Victor's Roofing should any other concerns come up and fro the time when I'll need my next roof.

They connected me to Marty, who said he had a cancellation and could come to the house today. Marty arrived in about 20 minutes. He inspected the roof and identified a punctured rubber membrane in one of our roof valleys. They repaired the membrane, re-caulked around all of our vents and chimney, and also covered some exposed nails. Marty was up-front and honest about the fact that we should eventually consider re-doing the valley with metal flashing instead of rubber.

Update: Few months after moving, our only regret is that though Todd was upfront to say he doesn't go up chimneys to do inspection, I wished he did emphasized that his recommendation of having a chimney inspection done, be done before we closed on the house because that mistake is going to cost us $6,000.00. We learned from the chimney inspection that our chimney is a definite fire hazard and nonfunctional. Secondly, he missed the cracks all over the main bath inner toilet bowl which according to the plumber should be replaced asap. The type of toilet color for that bathroom costed us $450.00. We've discovered a number of other things but these two I wished he could have done easily for us as an inspector."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mi/west-bloomfield/tricor-inspection-llc-reviews-2275919.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Brick Concepts LLC","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MI","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Lund S."},"reviewBody":"The sweep called ahead to let me know he was on his way, but would be about 15 minutes later than the scheduled appointment. He arrived at his new estimated time. He and his partner cleaned the chimney and inspected the exterior of the chimney, including the cap and top courses (on a two story house). He did a thorough job cleaning the fireplace area and scrubbed the interior of the chimney, at least at the lower level. He ensured the interior of the house did not get messy by laying tarps out neatly across the front of the fireplace, and by placing the vacuum outside the house, running the hose through an open window. This helped prevent any soot and ash from being blown around in the house. At the end of the cleaning, he showed me pictures of the top of the chimney which indicated deterioration of some of the chimney brick. He provided an estimate to repair the damaged brick in the chimney and other brick around the house as well as replacing the cap on the chimney. The estimate appears very reasonable, although I have not yet received another quote on the job. He did not pressure me to make a decision on that extra job. Overall he was very courteous, efficient and friendly. I recommended the business to my girlfriend and she had her chimney cleaned as well. In addition to cleaning the chimney he helped her fix a damper that was never installed correctly and not closing completely.

"My chimney had rotted boards on it that were in dire need of replacement. I hired MZK because of their knowledge of the situation and their high rating on Angie's list. MZK recommended using PVC trim so that I would never have a rot problem again. MZK took care of everything including getting matching paint, purchasing and installing the boards and painting."

"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. "

"I have been trying for 2 years to get our fireplace fixed and could not find anyone to even come out and look at it. I saw an ad for Angi’s list and contacted them. They sent me 4 different companies that could do the work and, after checking the reviews, I selected RPF Construction. Robert contacted me immediately, came to the house, outlined everything he would do and gave me a price, which I agreed to. Robert and Tom came the next week with all of the parts that were needed. They started at 8:30 a.m and finished at 4:00 p.m. the same day. We have an airtight freestanding fireplace and they replaced all of the pipe, from the top of the fireplace, through the roof and all outside components. There was a leak in the roof that caused some rust and peeling paint on the firebox. They sanded it down and repainted it, where it stands, without getting paint on anything else. Even the silver screws they painted black. We are so happy with the excellent job that they did!!!"

FAQs for chimney inspection projects in South Lyon, 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 National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage.

Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
