Get matched with top chimney inspectors in Gettysburg, OH

"Used a shop vac to sweep what they did get out, leaving a coat of dust on everything in our living room. Used 1 sponge they wet once to clean. We were quoted $75, with multiple discussions on what they could do. Explained all the $75 was for inspection and sweep from the top of chimney, which we had removed last year. $600 for a deep cleaning and then tried to charge $1200. If this was a deep cleaning, I ll eat my hat. We signed contract with no amount on it."

"We are extremely pleased with the work Joe performed for us. He went beyond the extra mile to ensure the work was done correctly and professionally. Our main project was to install a portable air conditioner in a room with a casement window. We thought we would have to replace the window with a full-sized traditional window. Joe saved us an incredible amount of money by suggesting, and installing, a much-less-expensive option that works just fine. Furthermore, Joe readily agreed to another project and built a new picnic table bench to replace our dilapidated one and shored up our other bench. Joe patiently listened to our concerns, asked pertinent questions, and met our needs. He was always timely and personable. We look forward to working with Red Beard Capital, LLC again!"

"Excellent. They were on time and explained everything."

"Not well. The young men who came were pleasant, but inexperienced. The job was to sweep AND inspect. They said it did not need sweeping (though we later found out it did) and they asked if we wanted an outside inspection as if it were an add-on. It was raining and I guess they did not want to get wet. They then were delayed sending us a quote and when we asked for one, it was nebulous and prohibitively expensive. Four quotes later we found a company that would do the work needed and not upsell us. We paid $250 effectively for nothing."

"I got several quotes, and after talking with Mr Chimney (John), it became apparent how knowledgeable he was. One of my co-workers had John fix his chimney after a tree fell on it years ago, and he was happy with the job they had done. Even though it was a lot of money, his quote was significantly cheaper than another replacement quote, and I went with them. Another company quoted a non replacement solution, which would have been a bad choice in my case. I signed a contract spring '17. John was having trouble matching the brick because my house is almost 40 years old. He checked with 25 companies before he found the perfect match. John was willing to jump through other hurdles, such as putting the scaffolding on stilts because of our multiple tiered flower beds that were in the way, and working around our schedule when it wouldn't be safe to work because of guests. It turned out that the chimney brick was coming off in sheets because some previous company had disposed excess concrete down the chimney, between the flue liner and brick, so there was no room for expansion, or for a place for the water to go when the chimney crown started leaking. Mr. Chimney finished the chimney, all the flashing done the right way, replaced the shingles around the chimney where they were working, cleaned up, fixed some other pre-existing issues, and the chimney looks great!"
