Exceptionally pleased and grateful for the outcome, as everything came out as it was planned. Thank you AAA Apex for the amazing work you did. (The leak was around the chimney area, which they repaired, swept the chimney, caped the chimney, and also did some masonry work.)

Well enough. Since it was the roof there were paint or stucco stains on a hidden part you can't see the window repair had to be done twice. And cleanup could have been done better. After tearing off roof I needed them to come back twice to magnet rake any nails or metal debris.

The cost to replace a chimney is about $10,000 on average and can cost up to $15,000, depending on the size, accessibility, materials, and extent of the replacement.
