Elite Chimney Restoration & Maintenance Service

Very well. Recommend!

The inspection was very thorough and their report was detailed. We decided to go ahead with the repairs that were suggested. The workers were very friendly and left our home just as clean as it was before they came. They installed the stainless steel liner with a top-mounted damper which came out nicely, however whenever it rains, the rain drops create a loud pinging when hitting the chimney cap that echoes through the liner. Not the end of the world, but somewhat annoying. We decided to add an additional 2' of masonry to our existing chimney, which we were told could not be guaranteed to match the existing stone, but they would try their best. That was a risk we were willing to take to save money, however we were not overly happy with the quality of the masonry work. Matching existing stone is virtually impossible, especially if it is old, however we expected better craftsmanship. They did a nice job cleaning the exiting stone, however the new 2' addition is crooked with large gaps between the stones, especially in comparison with the existing chimney. The chimney was actually more crooked before, but we asked them to fix it during the few days they were working; it's less crooked now, but still noticeable. It looks like a straight-edge was not used, and the crown seems sloppy. In our opinion the quality of the new addition is not stellar, it looks rushed.

This company showed up on list of companies serving my area, but when I called, they informed me they do not service my area (I live right off of major highway only one county away. Angies List should update this company as being only very strictly local to their location.

Provided excellent service. Staff explained everything they were doing and completed the work in a clean and timely fashion.

Did not use Elite.

Great. Showed up on time. Dan and John provided great service. Explained everything clearly.

Good workmanship. Crew was friendly and answered questions. They took pride in their work and finished product. Did the little things that make a difference. Did a good cleanup of the roof area, gutters, and grounds.

Our house is nearly 100 years old and we just bought it so we weren't sure what we were dealing with from previous owners. They did a thorough inspection of both fireplaces and gave us their honest opinion about what services would be needed in the future. I would definitely call them again if we need work done on them. They were also really nice and professional, so that was an added bonus.

Guys were on time, efficient, and cleaned up after the service. Jay described what he saw (we are in a new house) and gave me good advice for using the fireplace this winter.

Well, when I called to get pricing initially, I asked for pricing for cleaning and inspection as well as a rain hat with installation. I was given a price of $225 for cleaning with level II inspection and $149 for rain hat with installation. Then I scheduled the appointment and asked for the cleaning+inspection as well as the installation of the rain hat, which I was told that the guys may not have the exact rain hat required in the truck but they could come back and was fine with that. The guys were running ahead of time that day so they called to see if they could come earlier, which was fine because I had taken off of work to be home. They came and were polite, professional, and went right to work. They showed me pictures and explained everything, but they had not said anything about the rain hat and were packing up to go as the helper that accompanied the technician was looking to get out of there so he could get home (which he told the other guy in front of me). When I asked about the rain hat and the fact that that was something I had wanted done that day or at least have a time scheduled if they didn't have the rain hat size with them, the guy told me that that would be in the report I would get and I could schedule that if that is something I wanted to do........WHAT?! I distinctly remember asking for this service to be done or scheduled to be done that day and not have to wait even more to get a rain hat put on. NOW my husband has to get up on the roof and measure the cap so that we can just do it ourselves instead of waiting on this report and a technician.

They do some chimney thing. We take Elite Chimney Restoration and Maintenance surely from Angie's List. They were really good. They just come, did job at the set and also even set up. At least all clean. There is nothing to complain about.They were nice people. It was really a big thing to do chimney's line up and put something to it. They also didn't just do a nice job but they even came back and finished this concrete thing. I am satisfied. Their price is reasonable. Reasonable if we compare them to others. It can be cheaper of course. They have a reasonable big price. The job is done really, really good. There is nothing to complain but you'll never know in the time because the chimney's they have done, I don't know when they go to fire and didn't go as expected to be.

Elite provided quote for chimney repair and sealing. I chose another vendor with a lower price.

The workers were thorough and neat. It has been over two years since the work was done, and there have been no issues with the new cap. The problem of water leaking into my chimney chase was completely solved by their work, has not recurred, and the stainless steel will likely last far, far longer than the original galvanized cap.

We have used Elite for several years now to perform our annual chimney sweep and inspection. They do a good job & we really like their camera scope, and receiving a full report with pictures afterwards, for our records. We have discovered that their prices are a bit higher than some of the other chimney sweeps in the area - but we would still continue to call them for service.

We were very pleased with Jay and Rene, they actually called and came earlier than planned, were very professional and neat. Took pictures of the chimney before and after the sweep to show us how dirty the chimney was and how clean it was after. We will definitely use them again.

Also they provided good recommendations on draft issues. They also provided an estimate on re-pointing and fixing draft issue. Will usr them again

Had Elite Chimney come out for a chimney cleaning. The two man crew (Kevin/Rene) showed up on time and were very thorough. Kevin explained everything in detail before starting work, took digital photos before and after so I could see the condition of the flue and the creosote buildup. He made several recommendations and answered all my questions. Afterwards the clean up work was impeccable and they left everything cleaner than it was. I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them.

They did an outstanding job, were very neat, and finished on time.

It went beautifully. They were able to come out and do the cleaning. The furnace was then ready for town inspection.

They were the third chimney service company we called for an estimate to clean our chimney and install a wood stove. The first company said we had to line our chimney for 2000 and the second said we had to seal our chimney for 2000. These guys said we were fine (so did an architect friend). Glad we got a third opinion.

I called to have them come out and look at my chimney for repair work. On their description it says they service the county where I live. However, when I spoke to the owner, he said my town was too far out for me. Instead of being helpful, he said I should call a roofer or chimney repair person in my area. He should amend his Angie's List business page because he comes up when I do a search for local repairman. The least he could do was recommend somebody in my area, but he was totally unhelpful.

They are very helpful and they do a great job. They use modern equipment, are very professional and fairly priced.
