I believe my chimney flashing was replaced the right way, and the price was very reasonable.

They explained the problem, took pictures and showed us why our chimney was leaking. And then they fixed it same day. Fingers crossed we don’t have any more problems

They were good and they didn't charge me anything, as I didn't have them do anything. He was very pleasant. He came in and looked at everything and checked it out and said the smoke got too big. He said the area is too big so the smoke stays there and doesn't completely go up to chimney. I...

We called The Chimney Doctor to clean and inspect our chimney. Jesse answered our call and we scheduled an appointment for him to come out and check the chimney. He showed up right on time. Since we had snow on the roof, it wasn’t safe for anyone to walk on it, but Jesse used our roof rake to...

Overall I am very pleased with the service performed at Johnny's Getty. They will look for a more economical repair rather than just replacing parts as was the case with an exhaust leak.

They appeared honest, clean, and they protected everything in the house. They were a two-man crew. They were courteous and they appeared extremely honest. We wanted something done and they suggested that, in a sense, the chimney wasn't in the condition that would be helpful. I liked them. I...

"hired Chimney and Duct Experts based on their reviews on Google and Angis list to address a potential problem with a roof leak near my chimney. They quickly determined the flashing of my chimney was probably the reason for the leak, so they gave me a quote to rebuild the chimney flashing for $1300. They were able to do the work that same day, which I thought was great. However, the leak continued, so I moved on to roofers to help figure out the problem. I had 5 different roofing and repair companies come out, and each one said that the flashing on the chimney was terribly done, using a sealant instead of metal step flashing as is standard. I called back Chimney and Duct Experts and spoke with a supervisor. He agreed to come and redo the flashing, but insisted that fully rebuilding the flashing is only done when you get a new roof. Ended up being incorrectly done again, and I'll have to pay someone now to fix it correctly."
