"Cory Harrison installed my bamboo flooring, but he did not allow enough room in his cuts to allow the flooring to expand properly with changes in humidity; therefore, the floors have buckled in numerous places. It buckled so badly in front of my front door that I could no longer use the front door and I had to remove it, saw it down and reinstall the door. He also removed my old dishwasher and did not close the pipe that ran from my kitchen sink to the dishwasher, so water leaked all over my kitchen floor. Cory consistently was difficult to get a hold of and to schedule work with; when I finally told him my concerns about his lack of communication and delays on the work he had been contracted to do, he told me to find someone else to fix my chimney, which is the main job that I needed done in the first place. He then told me that I needed to "give him a reason" and "convince him to come" out to do the work that he had been hired to do. Cory was paid in full for the work he did for me, although the work was deficient to say the least. He is not someone that I would recommend to anyone, particularly a woman."

ADVANCED CHIMNEY has been providing quality chimney cleaning, building and repairing since our founding in 1998. It is our mission to provide the best service and quality for our customers, at a price that is very competitive. We believe the best way to achieve this goal is to keep our business a small, family owned and operated business who blends our Christian beliefs with the more than 25 years combined experience into our work. The owner, Robert Schools, Master Sweep, has been in the chimney industry since 1993. Before pursuing chimneys, he worked the the Heating and Air Conditioning industry since 1988. Jesse, Robert’s son has been assisting him since 2005.

"I prefer to not leave negative reviews publicly and resolve it with the company directly. However, the owner was unable to conduct a professional, respectful level of customer service. We presented our concerns with pictures after the service was provided, to see if it was up to their company standards, because there was no improvement - everything was left filthy with no condition report. It was honestly appalling the way the owner refused to address the obvious issues at hand. We scheduled to have our fireplaces/chimneys serviced that was said to include a thorough inspection, detailed cleaning and condition report. When the workers showed up, they were in an unmarked raggedy old van reeking of marijuana, dressed like they were homeless, with nothing showing what company they represented. They did 4 fireplaces and 2 chimneys in less than 2 hours. The equipment they used was insufficient to do a thorough job and they ended up borrowing our tools to complete their work. I’m not sure why they didn’t at least have a flashlight and how the owner thinks a cell phone light “works just fine to the trained eye” when inspecting and cleaning a deep dark chimney… He went on and on and had an excuse for every legitimate problem, with no intent to resolve anything. He was perpetually harassing both my boyfriend and me for payment, while we were waiting for them to send a professional condition report and formal invoice. Yet he spent more time threatening us, trying to defend his reputation, than he did actually doing his job. It was very condescending, a huge waste of time and A LOT of money for nothing. We could’ve done a better job ourselves; our fireplaces still aren’t even suitable for use. Spend your money elsewhere or take the risk of a huge loss."

Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

Issues include leaking seams, rusting panels, loose fasteners, and denting from debris or weather, which can cause damage that requires intervention.

Yes, a drip edge is necessary on a metal roof, according to the International Residential Code (IRC). Drip edge flashing prevents water from dripping onto and behind your fascia board, which prevents the board from rotting and reduces the risk of water damage behind it. On gable ends, you can either install drip edge flashing or gable-end flashing to avoid the same issues.

Losing your cell or data signal is a problem that’s become more relevant in the digital age, one which metal roofs can cause. Metal roofs can rust, which is a con, but another reason to get a stone-coated roof is the added protection against that happening. Without proper insulation, metal roofs can be loud and are difficult to work on because they're slippery Finally, metal roof installation is one of the more expensive options.

In the metal versus shingle roof debate, aluminum roofing has several advantages. However, aluminum roofing costs more than typical asphalt roofing, so up-front cost is a major downside. Aluminum is also somewhat susceptible to denting, and repairs can be more costly than for other roof types because your roofer will need to replace large panels rather than individual shingles. Aluminum roofs are also noisy in the rain, which some homeowners don’t like.

A metal roof will last for an average of around 50 years—usually between 40 and 75 years—which is about double the lifespan of an asphalt roof—between 15 and 30 years or 25 years on average. Installing a metal roof is usually more expensive than an asphalt roof, with an average cost of $11,400 compared to the $9,200 for an asphalt roof. However, given that a metal roof costs about 20% more and lasts twice as long, it’s typically well worth the investment and should save you money in the long run.
