"From the estimate to the completed work, I am very happy with how things went. The woman who answers the phone for Ace Chimney was so pleasant , Pete , who came for the estimate and also did the work with an another gentleman was very personable and explained my options. They came when they said they would, performed the work as stated in the contract, and left my patio very clean. I would recommend this company. They charge a fair price for an excellent job and are truly appreciative that you chose them for the job. This is something not often found today, and this is one customer who is grateful there are still businesses that feel this way."

"Absolutely first class all the way!! Tommy did the initial inspection and also was here to complete the job. He knew exactly what was needed and unlike others, didn't try to scare me into adding more work. They provide many other mandatory home services that when i need, they'll be my first call!! Thank you Fred's Chimney Magic for removing the stress!!!"

"Jason showed up within the time frame given. Explained scope of work. Also complimented the work that was performed by another company. Which is very rare. Suggested to check the boiler chimney and cleaned that one also. Removed the damper which most other never do. Cleaned up and was done within an hour."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Paul is the man!! I wish every contractor I ever dealt with was like Paul! Honest, On time, Clean, and more than fair price! I had a badly deteriorated steel firebox in a brick chimney that was unusable. Other vendors gave me "ridiculous" estimates for repair, wanted to remove brick facade to access, and wait till spring. Paul showed up, inspected the situation top to bottom, and provided a sensible solution. I hired him on the spot. He realized the urgency needed, and was there the following Monday. He finished in two days what others would have taken three. Protected everything, cleaned up, and no removal of facade. I now have a functional, beautiful fire-place. New brick firebox, dome, flue, and repointed exterior to prevent moisture from seeping in. A job done right! I wish I could post before and after pictures. I would not hesitate in recommending Paul to anyone! Thank you again Paul!"

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Whether you should replace your roof if it is not leaking depends on the specific problem. Just because your roof isn’t leaking doesn’t mean there’s no damage or wood rot. Roof leaks can take a while to spot—and the damage could be extensive by the time you realize your roof is leaking. 

Even if you don’t see a leak, you should have a roofing pro perform an inspection on your roof at least once a year. A pro can spot damage you might miss. They can recommend whether you should consider roof replacement.

In most cases, inspection costs are not included in closing costs. The inspection is usually a standalone expense the buyer or seller covers by choice. Closing costs are normally required and designed to cover other costs, such as appraisal fees, title search fees, and attorney fees.

Roof sheathing can buckle from moisture damage, too much weight from roofing materials, or too much space in between rafters without thicker sheathing to compensate for the added distance. Bucking roof sheathing is a serious problem that can lead to a collapsed roof, so have a qualified roofer near you come to identify the problem as soon as possible. 

The lifespan of asphalt shingles is typically between 15 and 30 years, depending on the type of shingle and other factors. Standard 3-tab shingles have the shortest lifespan, around 10 to 15 years. Architectural shingles last longer, averaging 20 to 25 years. Luxury or designer asphalt shingles are the most durable, with a lifespan of 40 years or more. Climate, installation quality, and regular maintenance also play a significant role in how long your shingles will last. Signs that they need replacement include granule loss, bald spots, and roof leaks.

Fall is generally considered the best time of year for roof repairs. The weather is temperate and typically drier, which makes for safer working conditions and fewer delays. The days are also still long enough to complete the work.

Spring is another good option and is a popular time for repairs to fix damage from winter storms. However, frequent rainfall can slow down progress. Spring may be a less busy season for roofers than fall.

Summer can also work for roof repairs, but extreme heat can make asphalt shingles too soft and difficult to work with.
