"I looked for a contractor to fix my chimney for 12 months. I interviewed five contractors but I didn’t trust any of them. Finally I contacted Chimney Magic, they came, gave me a fair estimate and I hired them. They arrived on time, fixed my chimney, and cleaned up, I would recommend Chimney Magic."

"I thought this company overall did a good job. The reason why I wouldn't hire them again is because they came across a bit shady. They tried to show me a picture of something (a chimney) in one of there books and the picture wasn't visable at all. If you have a business you should at least have a clear photo of what you are trying to show. After the estimate and an agreement on the price, he did the work. When he was done, he asked that I make the check out to cash, which there in itself is shady. I only agreed because at that point that work was already done and it was a low cost repair.
So if you want a cheap price and it's a smaller job I'd say go for it, for something bigger maybe look elsewhere.

"I emailed a request for chimney inspection and cleaning over the weekend. I received a call shortly afterwards from Vinnie, the owner. He came out to my house, checked everything out, showed me detailed photos and was able to do the cleaning and necessary repairs the same day. Professional, fair pricing. Did a great job. Highly recommend"

Customers say: Terrific value

"The owner Paul came to our place for chimney cleaning. We are new to our house, not knowing if our chimney was cleaned before, we called him to clean it. After spending some time inspecting our chimney he did not charge us any money saying that our chimney was clean and he would not charge us anything. He told us where to buy wood and other supplies. He was very friendly and cordial. Showed my husband a few things that we did not know. He cleaned up after himself and left. We would for sure call him again next year for cleaning and any other fireplace problems."

"I highly recommend Certified Chimney of Holtsville. A lightning strike caused damage to my chimney. I needed a new liner as well as a new cement crown and other work done to bring my chimney back up to snuff. The owner, Charles and his two associates (Christian and Christopher) did an outstanding job. They are extremely professional, neat and friendly. They completed the job quickly and the most important thing is that I was given a very decent price. If you need chimney work done, donâ t hesitate to call them."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

This depends on the design of your roof and any preexisting issues. If you have water and puddles pooling, no matter the roof type, apply a coat of sealant immediately. Beyond that, seal a flat roof every five years, though constant rain and snow hasten this time frame to three or four years. Add a few years for sloped roofs, waiting six to eight years between applications, as water does not pool with these designs.

You can check beneath your shingles to see if they’re listed as Class 4 or Class 3. Class 4 are technically the only shingles considered impact-resistant, but Class 3 shingles are still fairly resistant.

You can tell if you have ridge vents by looking at the roof’s peak from outside. A ridge vent will look like a speed bump or slight rise away from the roof’s surface and will likely be covered in the same material as the rest of the roof. You can also tell from inside your attic—look up at the roof ridge to see if there is light coming through along the length of the ridge.

In most cases, yes, you will need to be home while your roof inspector checks your roof. The inspector will be able to complete the exterior assessment without input from you, but they will also need access to your attic space to look for signs of leaking, like pest infestation, water stains, mold growth, and visible holes leading to the exterior. They will also check the roof trusses, rafters, and supports to confirm their structural integrity. Roof inspections usually take between two and three hours, so plan accordingly.

Asphalt shingles have varying thicknesses across the length, so failing to stagger shingles from one row to the next will leave you with bulges and bumps if the thicker sections stack on top of each other. Not only is this unappealing, but it increases the risk of water intrusion. Stagger each new row by 6 inches to avoid this issue.
