"He took pictures of both pipes and showed us the cracking around the base of the pipe. It was nice to see it on his phone. The previous person who supposedly fixed it did not do it correctly. After giving us a price he went out and got the parts and repaired it the same day. He also showed us pictures of the repair. Very polite. We would definitely call them again."

"Berry Mechanical installed a $10K HVAC system a little over 4 years ago. They are one of only 3 American Standard dealers listed in my area on the American Standard site. All are roughly the same distance -Berry is actually second closest. They are now telling me they will no longer service it because it is too far away. I can understand if they were no longer wiling to do service calls on systems they did not install because of distance but they were more than happy to take the money for the large installation and it was fairly recent. I was paying them every year for semi-annual service and now I have to scramble to find an American standard dealer who actually will travel the same or more distance and will provide service for a system they did not install and may or may no be familiar with. Very disappointing, I can not recommend buying a system from a company that will not service what they install, especially when they are no further away than the only other 2 dealers."

"Had an excellent experience hiring Steve and his crew to install an "emergency" chimney liner for our new oil boiler. Did not even know one was needed until middle of boiler install. Oops! Timing was Halloween in NH, so already getting very cold and most other chimney companies I called were booked for months. Steve stopped by the very evening of that first phone call and prepared an estimate. After patiently emailing back and forth with detailed explanations, it became obvious that he was going to "do it right", unlike my other low-ball estimate that was going to install a bare-bones liner similar to the previous one that had failed, and most likely would not have lasted long (not to mention potential condensation issues.) And BONUS - he rearranged his schedule to come that very SUNDAY (now early Nov) and get it done, so that we could stop shivering! AND he even honored his Angies discount. Liner install went AOK, furnace was online the very next day after my plumber came back to finalize set-up and we've been warm ever since. Took only 5 days from our initial phone call and plumber was impressed with their work on the liner. Kudos to Fireside Sweeps. Look no further. I can highly recommend. Thanks Steve & Lisa!!"

We've been serving York County and the Seacoast for over 25 years. Fully insured. All work is warrantied. We take half the quote amount up front and half upon completion. We will also give as many recommendations from brick yards and customers as needed.

"One word: Don't. They replaced the top 6' of our chimney about 7 years ago as well as parging and sealing all of our chimneys and the new chimney is literally falling apart in chunks, the joints are seeping water, and the parging is flaking off. Besides that, while these two jokers were here (and we weren't) our neighbor told us that they were arguing and throwing chunks of concrete at each other. We also found that rather than haul the old chimney pieces away they hid them in the brush beside our lawn. Also, forget about a warrantee. That is B.S."

Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

The lifespan of a roof patch depends on which materials you use and the severity of the damage. Temporary solutions like tarps or plastic sheets last a few weeks to a few months, while roofing tape or caulk may hold up for a year or two. Permanent patches using roofing cement, flashing, or replacement shingles can last several years as long as they're properly maintained. Regular inspections and touch-ups can extend the patch’s lifespan, but eventually, a full repair or replacement would be needed.

When choosing a metal roof, consider not only the area of the roof but also the thickness of the panel, known as the gauge. Common roofing gauge sizes for metal roofs are 24-gauge and 26-gauge. The smaller the gauge size, the thicker the roof. Usually, a thicker gauge is ideal if your house is in an area that sees a lot of rain, snow, or hail, as it will be less likely to dent.

There are two main issues with metal roofs: the up-front cost and how noisy they can be when it rains. Metal roofs cost close to twice as much as asphalt roofs per square foot, and although you also get more than double the lifespan and more value from them, the initial cost is higher. Metal roofs can also create noise in your living space when it rains, so some homeowners install acoustic panels or insulation under them to reduce noisiness.

Asphalt shingle roofs are more likely to leak than metal roofs because they are more prone to uplift and damage from extreme weather, moss growth, and ice dams. Asphalt shingles also lose shingle grit over time, which decreases their waterproofing qualities. Metal is a more resilient material that will stand up better to strong winds and heavy precipitation, ultimately leading to a lower risk of leaking. As such, metal roofs add to home value with a higher ROI than asphalt roofs in most cases.

Metal roofing gets hot when it’s exposed to direct sunlight, but aluminum is naturally reflective and can actually help keep your home cooler in hotter, sunnier climates. The solar reflectance of aluminum is significantly higher than that of asphalt shingles and clay tile, so a metal roof will reduce solar heat gain in your home.
