"Courtesy and responsive service. Placed order for inspection and cleaning of 2 chimneys @ $149 / chimney. Technician inspected and cleaned one chimney. Upon inspection of second chimney, technician explained the chimney had a triple liner that and the fireplace had hardly used and the chimney did NOT need the be cleaned, yet I was charged the same as I was charged for the chimney that was inspected AND CLEANED. When I asked why, he said that?s what was on the order. I also found it strange that the technician said that if I paid cash, I wouldn?t be charged tax."
"Chimney experts was very professional in both scheduling and the job. Al was very thorough to not only look at the chimney, but also to stay with me until we had fully built a fire and had it burning long enough to run a full test of the appliance.
Would highly suggest for inspection and installation- they know the business well."
"The chimney cleaner/inspector showed up, took no time at all looking at the chimney, and said that it was clean. There are three chimneys, however. So then I asked for a cap for one of the three chimneys to be installed when they went up to do the inspection. One guy zipped up the ladder with the cap and just plopped it on. He then came down the ladder. I asked about the inspection, and he said it was done. The other thing was that it looked like there was a screw in the middle of each side of the cap. These were definitely not tightened to the chimney. I paid for the cap and the inspection. But I do not feel at all satisfied with any kind of inspection that was done. I am hesitant to light a fire in the fireplace in the end. feeling dissatisfied with this service. sadly"

Hail damage on a tile roof looks like chips, cracks, and dents. Some roof tiles may break off entirely in harsh hailstorms. Hail can cause tile shingles to shift and loosen, leading to less protection from water and the elements. Loose tiles can also pose a safety risk to people, pets, and property below.
It’s possible to walk on a clay tile roof, but you run the risk of breaking or cracking the tiles if you’re not careful, so it’s best not to walk on it if you can avoid it. If you or a contractor needs roof access, be sure to distribute your weight evenly and step on the portions of tile that are also supported underneath, which depends on your tile design. Walking on any roofing material is inherently dangerous, so wear rubber-soled shoes and use safety equipment if you need to access your roof.
You shouldn’t put a new roof underlayment over an old one for a few reasons. Old felt must be removed in order to assess the condition of your roof decking, such as rotting wood or other structural issues. Also, if your roofer doesn't install a fresh layer of felt as is required by shingle manufacturers, your warranty may be voided. Finally, old underlayment removal is often included in the cost of roof repair or replacement, so there's no real benefit to leaving it on before installing a new layer.
A tarp can temporarily stop a roof leak, but how long the solution works heavily depends on the placement and size of the leak. While a tarp can be a temporary solution, it’s crucial to have a professional inspect and repair the leak as soon as possible to implement a permanent fix.
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.
