Get matched with top chimney repair specialists in Salford, PA

"I had contacted Chimney Cricket and passed them on to my Parents to have work done on their house in Oct. 2016. I am writing as I have just purchased the neighboring property and have had an opportunity to review the documents my father has and to inspect the "work" that was done. Initially Chimney Cricket was very responsive and prompt. A proposal for the stabilization and repair of the shared chimney, stucco restoration and the installation of a chase cover was signed nov. 2016 and a deposit made. As the work was being completed the technician collapsed a section of the Chimney into the flue. rather than remove the debris and remaining section of the chimney, the technician pushed the rest of the debris into the flue and continued the stucco flex application and chase cap. My father was not pleased with this development and expressed that at the time. in January 2017, my father was able to go up to the roof and inspect the stucco flex application and "repairs" to stabilize the chimney. at that time the stucco flex was observed to be inconsistently applied, inconsistent application, use of stucco flex to "repair" gaps that were part of the contract for repair. Cracks in the stucco flex were observed throughout and the chase cap was only partially secured. Chimney Cricket was contacted and they replied that it would be repaired in the spring of 2017. in June 2017 my father was called by a technician stating that they would be at the house in 10-15 min. the visit was declined as my father was at work. It was requested that 24-36 hour notice of visit be provided so that he could be on premises to observe the work being done. the technician hung up on him. Chimney Cricket was again contacted via email in Aug 2018. there was no reply. They were contacted in sept 2018 and again there has been no reply. I have since taking ownership of the neighboring property at my own expense, removed the debris that was thrown into both my parents inactive flue and the neighboring flue. It was also necessary to cut a whole in the chase cover in order to vent the ACTIVE FLUE from neighboring property. The previous owner had certified that it was not an active flue, I am VERY surprised that the technician did not visually verify that claim seeing as he could have KILLED THEM AND THEIR NEIGHBORS, my parents."

"Alliance Chimney came and replaced my chimney liner this week, and I had a great experience with them. They offered me a reasonable quote, and when the job became more difficult than they expected, they didn't charge me anything additional, and they handled the job incredibly professionally. I'm very satisfied with the work they did."

"Jacob was outstanding. Professional, straightforward, and thorough. Will be recommending him and working with him again in the future."

"Called Joe and he came the same day for an estimate on a liner and cleaning. Gave him the ok and he got started that night, in doing so found the blockage was because the chimney had completely collapsed. Him and his crew came back the next day and unclogged and resealed the chimney. Everything was done very timely and professional"

"Everything went very well from start to finish. They are very professional and efficient. The quality of the work is the best we have had done on our house. We are very happy and highly recommend them."

"very well"

"Joe is very honest, hard working and dedicated to getting the job done in a highly professional manner. It was great working with him and I would not hesitate to hire him again. A genuine kind man who I enjoyed meeting."

"I have had work done by Ryan Licsauer before, an indoor fireplace, and it turned out great which is why I decided to use him again to get an outdoor patio and kitchen done. He came out, measured, told me to purchase all of my kitchen appliances and cabinets needed and to pick out the pavers. He told me in January he would start in March and I checked with him every month to make sure he was still able to do the project because we were going to have my son's graduation party out back. Every month he swore it would get done in time. A few weeks before the graduation he stopped returning my texts and calls when just the month before graduation he confirmed with me it was definitely going to be completed for the party. I had all the outdoor furniture ordered and sitting here,I had paid for all the kitchen cabinets and appliances quickly, the caterer was booked and over 100 people were sent out invitations and now I have no patio or kitchen or place to hold my sons graduation. I never once forced him to do this project yet he assured me month after month he would complete it and I have never had a problem with him before. Absolutely sick over this. Beware because even though his work is done right he may just decide to not show up. Typical untrustworthy contractor but I guess its my fault for trusting him without legal paperwork being involved."
