"Our last chimney cap was sloppily installed and blew off in a nor'easter. A-TEC did a nice job for a fair price, and we're having them back to do some repointing work that wasn't evident from a ground level inspection."
"Certified Chimney Prompt and Professional Service! Our recent urgent necessity to replace our boiler heating system exposed the need for chimney repairs for the efficiency and safety of the new furnace system. Jamie from Certified Chimney fully diagnosed the issues and had numerous pictures taken to document the problems. His explanation was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Jamie answered all our questions in a courteous and helpful manner. In communicating with the main office, Jamie worked with George to secure financing for the urgently needed repairs. The chimney liner, cap and masonry work were exceptionally done. Clean up of the roof and yard was above expectations. It was a pleasure doing business with Certified Chimney in a stressful and urgent home repair situation. We will definitely use again and recommend to others needing chimney services! Thank you, Certified Chimney and Jamie!"

"I needed 2 dryer vents cleaned - one on the 2nd floor and a vent cap replaced (also on the 2nd floor). All the companies I initially contacted would not do the job for a variety of reason. Superior did all the work I needed plus replaced the dryer hose on one unit (which we had not discussed). Additionally, I had purchased a vent cap but it did not fit. Superior had one on the truck which did fit and they got the job done! Excellent service!"

"We were incredibly impressed with Rich Pivey Chimney and Masonry Co. They arrived promptly on time and began a comprehensive inspection on the chimney . They explained exactly what needed to be done and what damage needed to be corrected . They were friendly, knowledgeable and answered all our questions . We called a few other company’s and immediately said $how much to even come out and look at our chimney, when we called Rich Peavey Chimney Sweep an appointment was set and he told us he would give us a price after looking at our chimney. Which made much more sense than quoting a price thousands of dollars before even looking at my chimney ! By far he was the cheapest and his work was impeccable! I would recommend this company above all the rest ."
"Took a while to schedule the work due to the staff being in the hospital, but that wasn't a big deal. Mike was a good guy, easy to talk to, and knew his stuff. I inspected the work yesterday - mostly he went around, replaced a few shingles, and nailed down/caulked each nail pop, added a few more nails, and applied sealant around the cracked chimney flashing. He replaced a missing gutter section as well. He said he trimmed some overlapping shingles, and I saw evidence where he did (cut pieces), but unfortunately it was not in the area that really needed it. Overall, I could have done most of this myself, but didn't have the know-how to determine what to do where. I'll get a few more years out of this roof. Still need to wait for next rainstorm to determine if the 2 interior leaks I had have been fixed.
***Quick update - a week later, I got a flat tire. It was from a brand new roofing nail. After looking in my driveway, I found another one. Really hope next time he checks where his nails fall!!! Would downgrade to a B- if I could..."
"Fantastic isn't a sufficient assessment of the job their serviceman, Rich, did. Not only did he do an excellent job cleaning the chimney and pipes (and replacing/fixing pieces I wrecked) and keeping the room clean, the insert is burning the wood better, cleaner and more completely than when it was installed brand new (it's at least 10 years old). The glass on the door is staying clean and I'm not getting smoke in the house like I use to even when I damp it down. I was late having them come because I had planned this year to replace it (I always had so much frustration with it) . Now I may not. I couldn't be happier."
Smooth galvanized metal ducting is best and safest for venting a hood range. It’s best to avoid flexible and corrugated types of ducting, as these options don’t provide ample airflow and may not meet local code. For specific advice on which type of duct might be best for your kitchen, reach out to a range hood installation professional.
A higher CFM will make the price of your range hood more expensive. It can be challenging to speculate how much the CFM rating affects price, but ductless range hoods—that don’t need as high of a CFM as ducted range hoods—are less expensive than their alternative. On average, ductless hoods cost between $100 and $300, while ducted hoods can cost as much as $1,000.
No, you can’t install just any microwave over your range. You have to get a specific type of microwave known as an over-the-range unit. These include venting and lighting features that you’ll need above your stovetop.
Although countertop units are more affordable, they won’t work for this type of installation. To avoid hazardous conditions in your kitchen, buy the right type of microwave for your needs.
Regular cleaning of filters and checking ducting ensures effective operation.
You should contact a local range hood installation professional to install your range hood and do the ductwork. Prices range from $50 to $100 per hour, with the total number of hours required varying based on the project complexity. Simple installations might take an hour or two, while more complicated ones can take four hours or more.
