Called and left messages for over a month to get them to resolve issues. Finally had to go to their office to get someone to talk to me. There was a 1" gap at the back chimney that you could see through from the attic. They assured my wife the flashing had been installed correctly but they...

Dion quoted a price for cleaning and a price for inspection only when I made the appointment. He was punctual and the whole service took less than 45 minutes. I am happy with the service Dion provided and I will call him again if I need chimney cleaning/inspection.

The guy that came was okay but he charged us $100 or $150 just to come out and tell us something about the chimney. It was like a service call that we were unaware of but he was good, nice and professional. Their price was expensive so we would probably not use them again.

"My spouse and I have used AAA multiple times. This time, we called Brenda and her team to remove multiple trees after Helene hit. One tree was a massive oak that was leaning and diseased.

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

Some of the most common chimney problems include:

Creosote buildup
Chimney blockage
Deteriorating brickwork or stonework
Cracked chimney top
Damaged flashing
Flue liner damage or deterioration
Damaged chimney cap

If you suspect you have a chimney problem, contact a masonry contractor for an inspection.

Homeowners insurance does not cover DIY mistakes, so tread lightly if you plan to tackle your own home repairs or renovations. If you cause damage to your home while attempting repairs or renovations yourself, the cost of fixing the damage is often considered your responsibility. Most policies only cover damage caused by covered perils like fire, theft, or weather—not by homeowner errors.

All of the components of stucco are non-combustible, so the siding material won’t ignite or spread fire to the interior of your home. However, it also expands and contracts with changes in temperature, so it will crack from long exposure to heat. Eventually, fire will spread through those cracks. Still, stucco is one of the best siding materials for fire protection and can keep you and your family safe for an hour, on average.

Yes, professionals use specialized treatments to remove smoke odors and improve indoor air quality.

The first step in fire damage restoration is having a pro come in right away to help control moisture (if authorities used water to extinguish a fire at your home). Skipping moisture removal puts your home at risk for invasive mold and rot that can cause added property damage and health issues. Once you have the bulk of the water out, you’ll need to run blower fans for 24 to 72 hours to remove moisture.
