"In May of 2023 I hired All County Maintenance to inspect and repair my chimneys. Peter was amazing - the work included fixing some broken chimney bricks, replacing the old mortar between all bricks, and installing brand-new stainless-steel... Then I had him back in August to mortar my whole chimney. Amazing job."

"Shamrock Maintenance Corp. did an excellent job cleaning and inspecting our wood burning stove. The technician arrived on time, was professional, and explained everything clearly before starting the work. They made sure the area was protected and left everything clean once the job was completed. I appreciated how thorough the inspection was and the time they took to answer our questions. It’s hard to find reliable service these days, but they definitely delivered. Highly recommend."

"Very professional matter of fact no nonsense guy. Does not pull any punches. Tells you want you need to do and does it. Does not rush the job. Further more you do not have to stand there and make sure he does his job, you can just tell right from the start hes going to do what is in your best interest. I already told him to come back once a year and clean the chimney and inspect it. I don't care what he charges. Id rather not burn up in my sleep.Thanks JOE your a breath of fresh air in today's society."

"Overall great experience. We noticed their lower cost monitoring systems are vulnerable to smash and grab robberies but the middle and upper range packages are protected from this. We also have had a few bugs with the broken glass detector but overall the sytem appears to be a great value.

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

You should set aside about two hours for the roof inspection. Ideally, both you and your roofing contractor will be present during and after the inspection to ensure everyone is on the same page. Prepare any questions you have before the roofing inspector gets to your house so you can be ready to ask them the day of. Gather any relevant documents related to the roof, such as past construction completed, insurance, damages, etc.

A sagging, cracked, or uneven foundation, worn or outdated electrical systems, poor plumbing, and slow sewer lines are all common deal breakers that stem from home inspections. Musty odors, uneven floors, and sticky doors and windows may also be deal breakers that will tell you when to to walk away from a home inspection.

Properly installed chimney flashing can last anywhere from 15 to 50 years. However, flashing generally only needs to be replaced when it is damaged, corroded, or no longer creates a watertight seal. Several factors influence its longevity, including the material type, quality of installation, and local climate. For example, copper flashing tends to last longer than galvanized steel. Large storms and extreme weather can also damage flashing, potentially requiring earlier replacement. To ensure its longevity, it is recommended to have your chimney and roof inspected annually. A professional can assess the flashing's condition and recommend any necessary repairs.

Patching a rubber roof requires finding a leak that is most likely identified by inspecting the attic. Get a strong flashlight and inspect the underside of the roof. Look for mold, wet spots, or dark, discolored areas. Check for degrading insulation, which tends to break down faster than wood. Inspect vents and seals and keep an eye out for small punctures coming through. The leak could actually be several feet away from where you find the water damage because of how water flows or gets diverted. In dry weather, spray the roof with a hose while someone else watches for leaks inside the attic. 

Walking on any roofing material is dangerous, so you should avoid it if you can, but if the need arises, you should know that you can walk on a concrete tile roof without damaging it. Try to step on the bottom portions of the tile that are supported by the lower layer, and distribute your weight evenly across both feet and hands, if possible.
