"Thank you to JM Inc. for the excellent work they did on replacing a fireplace with an outstanding stone mason one. They also put in a 3 season porch, patio, and cement garage apron. All were done professionally with constant communication on progress and asking for feedback. You can count on them to show up on time and keep on track. They also did a great job of cleanup and keeping the house clean while working on the project. A big thanks to project manager Kyle, mason Shawn, Trent and carpenter Thomas.

"Our fireplace chimney needed cleaning, and as in the past, we called Black Goose. The technician arrived, cleaned the chimney, took some photographs, all of which took an hour. The charge was $571.59!! I was shocked!! I thought there was some mistake, so I called Black Goose, and was told it reflected their standard cleaning fee. I pointed out the technician was only here for ONE HOUR, surely we should be charged less!?! I was told again that was the fee, it was nonnegotiable. Still in shock, I paid the technician, and he left. Meanwhile, I was left with the feeling of having been robbed. As a paying customer, I feel used and disrespected by a company with a hard line pricing policy that's all about money. We've hired Black Goose before and have always been satisfied with their work, but over the years we've felt taken advantage of by their price gouging, which has only worsened. This last incident was the final straw. I've since contacted several local companies for price comparisons: on average Black Goose is $200.00 higher. We will not use Black Goose again. If you value fair pricing and customer respect, do not do business with this company."

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

Roof cleaning can damage shingles if it’s done incorrectly—like with a high-power power washer—but it likely won’t damage your roof if you pay to have an expert do the work. A professional roof cleaner will use a gentle cleaning solution and a cleaning method that matches your roof material to ensure the process doesn’t damage the roof. Some homeowners worry that roof cleaning will shorten the life of their roof by removing shingle particles or protective coatings, but it often extends roof life by removing plants that cause damage and improves your home’s curb appeal simultaneously.

The best time of year for roof cleaning depends on the climate in your area, but in most cases late spring or early summer are the best times. You should plan to clean your roof when it’s dry and not too hot or cold. It’s also a good idea to clean your roof in the late autumn to remove any built-up debris like leaves or branches. On the other hand, you shouldn’t clean your roof when it’s too cold, because you can cause ice buildup.

One upside of tile roofs is that clay, concrete, and slate tiles require fewer repairs and less care than most other roofing options and are considered low-maintenance materials. Aside from as-needed repairs, annual inspections, and routine gutter cleaning, your tile roof won’t demand any maintenance and can provide 50 to 100 years or more of worry-free protection for your home.

Soft washing chemicals typically consist of a mix of sodium hypochlorite (or a chemical component of bleach) and water. While sodium hypochlorite and bleach are often thought to be the same thing, there is one small but key difference between the two: sodium hypochlorite comes in powdered rather than liquid form, which means that it’s also more concentrated and more effective from less product overall.

It is not advisable to use salt on your roof to prevent or remove ice dams. It’s not only mostly ineffective but can also cause serious damage to your roof itself. Salt can rust metal, damage masonry, pit shingles, and cause runoff that’s damaging to plants and animals.
