"I thought the work was fine. I paid $2450. Not long after work was done I could see new long cracks. I called immediately. I was told by the owner that the new cracks were "not a problem", and that he "absolutely guaranteed" the chimney. Really? Were the original cracks that needed reparging for $2450 "not a problem"? What did I pay them for? Didn't matter because nothing was done anyway. A couple of years later the company called me (wanting to get some business) to make a pitch for cleaning the chimney. I told them no, that I was not happy with the cracks and did not want any further service. The employee was surprised, apparently told the owner and he wrote me a letter. He wrote "these cracks are show up in 50% of parging projects we do and are strictly cosmetic". He wrote that "they are not a structural threat to the long term stability of the job, so we leave them alone". He said "he would be happy to repair them". Really? Nothing was done. Now I called again because water has dripped down the chimney bricks in my living room! Now I was told that was because of a roofing issue, not the chimney. They recommended a roofing company. I call the roofer, he came, he climbed up and checked the roof and chimney. He said "the chimney has a DEEP SERIOUS CRACK. I again called the chimney people and told them what the roofer, that they recommended, had said. I was told that a man would be sent over to inspect it. THAT WAS A MONTH AGO. AGAIN, NOTHING DONE."

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

If you wish to forego painting your shingles but still want to give them a fresh look, a deep cleaning is the first step. Clean off any debris from your roof and gutters, and then power wash your shingles to get grime and algae off. To take things one step further, you might even consider installing new gutters to give your home a bright new look.

While removing every snowflake from your roof is unnecessary, you should remove a significant buildup of snow. Since snow is wet and heavy, it can easily cause damage to your roof, which can lead to needing costly repairs. 

Additionally, when the snow melts but has nowhere to go and refreezes, it can create an ice dam, causing mold concerns due to water leaking into your attic and ceiling. For these reasons, it’s best to hire a snow removal professional to clear heavy snowfall from your roof as soon as possible.

Walking on the roof to clean gutters is unsafe. If you do your own gutter cleaning, use a ladder to reach the gutters rather than climbing on your roof. Walking on the roof is dangerous, especially if it has rained recently or if there are fallen leaves. You can also damage your shingles when walking on them, which can lead to water leaks.

Keep in mind that using a ladder has its risks, too. It can be difficult to keep your balance while doing the labor-intensive work of cleaning gutters. For safety reasons, hiring a pro to clean your gutters is the best choice.

Clearing snow from your roof can be a tedious and time-consuming job. Even so, it is extremely important to maintain your roof during the winter months. You can help prevent ice dams and avoid roof collapse.

As a side note, rather than shoveling your roof, you should always use a roof rake to modify the job. Otherwise, call in a professional.

Inspect for debris, clean drains, and regularly check for punctures or cracks to maintain performance.
