CHIMNEY INSPECTIONS LEVEL 1 AND LEVEL 2\nWE DO NOT SERVICE GAS FIREPLACES\n\nChimney Rebuilds\nWhen deterioration of the chimney reaches the point of no return, the solution is a tear-down and rebuild. A partial chimney rebuild can be done in cases where a portion of the structure is salvageable. All rebuilds include installation of a new concrete chimney crown.\n\nChimney Liners\nChimney liners provide an extra layer of protection between the chimney wall and your home. This additional protection is critical, as defects commonly appear in the chimney wall, beginning a process that gradually erodes the chimney. As the chimney wall gives way to deterioration, the potential arises for the infiltration of smoke and gases into your home, as well as damage

"Nick showed me his certification and removed his shoes before coming into my home. He took pictures of my chimney crown so I could see the cracks which will require repair on a future visit. He did an exceptional job of cleaning and inspecting my chimney and provided a great deal of useful advice. I highly recommend Nick."

"My wife has been wanting to replace our wood burning Fireplace for years. So on October 28th we decided to see if we could get it done before our annual cookie exchange in December. We drove to Condor Fireplaces first because Pat hears them advertised on 107.1. But they were closed on Sunday so we drove to Fireside Hearth and Home in Roseville. They had given us a quote several years ago and we like their showroom. Ken Kurhajec helped us find just the right insert for our home. BTW, Ken is a fabulous guy to work with and totally customer focused!
We ordered the fireplace and outlined a tentative install target date. Scheduling the measurement for the final order was a bit difficult so Ken came out and did it himself. Then we set target install, inspection, surround finish and gas turn on dates. But our cookie exchange wasn't scheduled yet so we had to guess when and work around that date.
On November 12th, we nailed down the dates for the cookie exchanged based on an incredibly complex set of obligations in December. The only date that worked fell between the install and turn on dates. So I contacted Ken to get the name of who I needed to contact to get the turn on date changes.
I called them and they told me that the problem was the custom surround. It wouldn't be ready until the day after the cookie exchange. I asked them to see if they could get that moved up 2 days so we could get everything done on time for the cookie exchange. They promised me they would but told me that the custom surround company was not generally responsive to delivery changes..
But then the install guys showed up on the install date WITH the custom surround. Hurray, I thought that everything would be done on time. I called the city, explained the situation and asked them if they could schedule the inspection that afternoon or first thing in the morning. They helped out and got us inspected by 10AM the next morning. Then I called the schedulers again.
This was the only really bad part of our experience. They told me that nothing had been done to move up the final setup and turn on. It was just a coincidence that the custom surround arrived early. They said that the final setup and turn on was going to be the 4th and that is all there is to it. She said that is just the way they do it, one week between install and turn on.  No call that I "supposedly made" on the 12th would have changed that. Well, thank you very much.
I contacted Ken and he got it setup for Saturday, the day before the cookie exchange. THIS time THANK YOU VERY MUCH was in order and sincere.
On Saturday, there was a glitch with the install side. The gas log box needed to be raised. At first it looked like we were still going to have an unfinished box for the exchange. But Ken and Gene got on it and (I forget his name) one of the guys who had done the install got it done! THANK YOU VERY MUCH again!
It is beautiful and was a real hit with the crowd at the cookie exchange. Having a beautiful, glowing fireplace says more than all of the advertising that Condor does with Lori and Julia. :-)
A special thanks to Ken, Gene and The Install Guy!!! Not so much for the schedulers.

"Called Asbestos Abatement and they arranged for Richard to stop the next day.  Took sample on Friday and had the sample tested and negative report back the next Monday (one working day).  Appreciate the prompt timing.  Charge was $50 for the lab fees and visit.  Very reasonable.  Since the test was negative I didn't require any additional services.

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Fall is generally considered the best time of year for roof repairs. The weather is temperate and typically drier, which makes for safer working conditions and fewer delays. The days are also still long enough to complete the work.

Spring is another good option and is a popular time for repairs to fix damage from winter storms. However, frequent rainfall can slow down progress. Spring may be a less busy season for roofers than fall.

Summer can also work for roof repairs, but extreme heat can make asphalt shingles too soft and difficult to work with.

Homeowners insurance does not usually cover roof soft spot repair. Since this damage is usually caused by wear and tear and often found on aging roofs, your insurance claim will likely be rejected. If a soft spot develops due to damage from a storm, repairs may be covered, but in general, expect to pay out of pocket for soft spot repairs.

Roof raking can damage shingles if improperly done. Be sure to use a rake that’s designed specifically for removing snow from a roof, and don’t use excessive pressure. Light, consistent pressure to pull down the bulk of the snow is all that’s needed—if you clear right down to the shingles, you’re probably using too much force and risking roof damage.

Sometimes chimney caps blow off during storms or fall off after rusting away. While this typically won’t cause structural damage, failing to replace a chimney cap can. A chimney cap prevents moisture, animals, and debris from entering your chimney, all of which can cause serious problems, such as damage to the masonry or blockages in the flue.

Individual soft spots can often be repaired if they’re caught early enough and the damage isn’t extensive. If soft spots cover a large portion of the roof or the roof sheathing is in poor condition, you’ll probably need to replace your roof to preserve its structural integrity.
