"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."

"Anthony and his team stopped by to give me an estimate on removing a 6" flex pipe that had been installed in the chimney pipe to vent a wood stove. They climbed the roof, inspected the chimney and determined the flex pipe did not run the length of the two story chimney but was about 6-8' in length. They removed it and also took care of its disposal. And the cost was absurdly reasonable - dinner for two would have cost more. Can’t say enough good things about World Class Maintenance Inc. - these guys are the best!"

"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

"Paul (the owner) was very helpful in inspecting a wood stove in our house to make sure of its proper operation. He also identified that our chimney pipe was too short from a code and proper airflow perspective. Because this was an unexpected repair, he was very transparent and showed me both pictures of the chimney on the roof, town building code documents, as well as looked up pricing with me for the components on a number of 3rd party sites so we were totally aligned on final price for the fix. He also made some last adjustments I requested (while it was raining!) Would recommend his services to anyone and look forward to using him again."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Generally, snow removal from a roof should occur once over six inches of snow accumulates, especially if you notice that ice dams have formed. Without ice dams, you can let the snow accumulation hit 12 inches before removing it. However, the amount of snow that is too much for your roof also depends on the sturdiness of your roof and the compactness of the snow. If your roof needs maintenance or has structural issues, it’s best not to let the snow accumulate too much for fear of collapsing.

If your roof leaks in heavy rain, that means the roofing is compromised and will need to be inspected and likely repaired. Small holes or cracks in the roofing material or flashing may not be noticeable in dry weather or even in a drizzle, but if they suddenly become noticeable when heavy rain comes, it likely means that small amounts of water are leaking in at other times, potentially causing damage.

Before hiring a roofing contractor, it's wise to ask several key questions. Inquire if they are licensed for roof replacement and repair and if they hold any special certifications. Ask if they will be completing all the work themselves or subcontracting parts of it. It's also important to understand the project timeline, whether they will remove the old roof or place new shingles on top, and how they will handle cleanup after the project is complete. Finally, ask about warranties for both work and materials, what recourse you have if issues like leaks arise, and if they can provide customer references.

Here are a few tips on how to choose a roofer:

  • Get everything in writing

  • Ask for insurance, license, and bond, then verify them

  • Check their reviews 

  • Ask for recommendations

  • Get multiple quotes

You’ll also want to watch out for any red flags like:

  • Pushy sales tactics

  • Not willing to show necessary documentation

  • Bad gut instincts

This will depend on your existing roof to some degree, but it’s common to raise a roof 4 to 8 feet. The exact amount you can raise is subject to the existing structure. For most homes with average roof slopes—20 to 45 degrees—you can raise the roof around 5 feet.
