In removing the chase cover he disturbed an insect nest neither of us knew to be there. Scott did not panic and continued with the installation. The triple-wall air-siphon chimney (1978) is no longer manufactured and Scott had to do considerable custom sheet-metal work to make the current SS cap type work. He seems to be resourceful and competent to keep old installations functioning but I must admit that I have acrophobia and I was not right up there two stories watching closely. From the ground the number and type of fasteners seemed adequate.
His trucks are well-maintained and the ladders heavy-duty and fitted with self-levelers. Good equipment makes a soothing impression on middle-class customers.
The last time they actually came to the house, I took off work to be at home for the cleaning. They showed up 1.5 hours late with no call letting me know. When I mentioned that I was expecting them an hour and a half ago, the response was something to the effect of and quot;That's the way it isand quot;.
While I won't use them again, they did a good job and did protect the fireside room with tarps.
The catalyst for writing was my recent call to another Salem service. The gentleman answered, said he was indisposed (on the roof) and that he'd call back in 1/2 and hour. In 1/2 an hour, he called back, and we scheduled an appointment for the next week. He adjusted his schedule to accommodate mine.
Scott arrived on time, was professional and friendly. Didn't waste any time inspecting the fireplace and chimney. Pointed out
that the chimney is not lined and he warned against using the fireplace to heat the house or for fires lasting anything over four hours maximum. He explained why he made that recommendation in an understandable way.
All in all a very good service and I would certainly recommend them to anyone.
