"They did a great job. They solved all the problems I had with the chimney and it’s been working perfectly ever since. They also fixed a problem on the roof around the chimney; they replaced the wood around the chimney with a material that would never rot, so they fixed it even better than it was before. It took them a couple of days to do the work. They took care of all the cleanup as well. We've been real happy with them."

"I wasn’t sure what needed to be done at first, I thought there might be some serious repairs required because it had been a long time since any maintenance was done. Sam and his team were veryyyyyy incredibly professional and took the time to thoroughly inspect everything and explain the situation clearly. They didn’t try to upsell me or push unnecessary work, which I really appreciated. It turned out that all my chimney needed was a good cleaning, and they got it done efficiently and left everything neat and tidy. Their honesty, transparency, and quality service really stood out, and I feel confident knowing my chimney is in good shape now. Thanks a lot!!!"

I came home to find a very large tree had split at the trunk and fall through my roof.  Immediately I called my insurance company and they advised me they would send an adjuster out within 48 hours.  2 days I was going to have to live with this tree in my house.  I was not happy.

As luck would have it Brad Carmon who lives in my neighborhood was driving by and stopped after seeing the tree, he was very concerned for everyone and asked if there was anything I needed. I thanked him and he informed me that he was a general contractor that actually specialized in roofing and insurance claims and would be happy to help me through this catastrophe.

Normally I would be skeptical of this type of approach but Brad was very kind and concerned. When I advised him of the 48 hour window I was given he was not pleased with that and advised me he could have that tree off the house and a tarp on the roof that evening.  I agreed and  just like he said within the hour there were two very nice gentleman there cutting the tree while Brad documented everything for the insurance.  After helping the other two gentlemen with the tree he set up the tarp just like he said he would and told me to call him when the insurance adjuster was in route and he would meet with them to show the pictures and make sure they paid for all the damage and not just a portion.

The next day Brad met with my insurance adjuster showing him everything that had gone on the prior day and to inspect the property.  At first the insurance company only wanted to pay to patch everything but Brad showed him that in order to bring the roof up to code it was going to have to be completely replaced. 

With in days Brad had his guys out replacing the roof and it couldn't have gone smoother, the next day the interior was fixed and Brad was there to oversee the entire project.  My only out of pocket expense was my deductible and I was more than glad to pay it.


I have a stack of Brads business cards and I hand them out as if they were my own.

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Many insurance policies will not cover a roof with two layers of shingles. An additional layer of shingles increases the risk of various kinds of damage, and insurers typically won’t pay claims on a roof with an overlay. Adding a layer of shingles may even jeopardize your insurance coverage entirely, so check your policy to ensure you stay within coverage guidelines. 

If you choose tile for your roof, take the time to hire a true tile professional. Look at trusted online review sites to find a top-rated roofing contractor. This helps you zero in on great contractors while avoiding ones who bait and switch you with fluctuating bids.

After you’ve narrowed down a few great candidates with reasonable bids, there are some important questions to ask roofers before you hire. Be sure they are licensed, bonded, and insured before signing a contract. Once you find a roofer who checks off all your boxes, you’re ready to get your project started.

Cracks in the chimney can be very serious, depending on their location and size. Even small cracks can become serious over time if left unrepaired. Cracks allow heat and moisture to deteriorate your chimney and harmful carbon monoxide gas to seep into your home. Small cracks can often be caulked, while large cracked sections may require full replacement.

Generally, snow removal from a roof should occur once over six inches of snow accumulates, especially if you notice that ice dams have formed. Without ice dams, you can let the snow accumulation hit 12 inches before removing it. However, the amount of snow that is too much for your roof also depends on the sturdiness of your roof and the compactness of the snow. If your roof needs maintenance or has structural issues, it’s best not to let the snow accumulate too much for fear of collapsing.

It’s a good idea to have a roof inspection once every two or three years to catch issues early and avoid major property damage. However, if you recently had a new roof installed, you can safely wait around five to ten years before scheduling an inspection, especially since your workmanship warranty should last about that long. You might also want to schedule more frequent or one-off roof inspections if you are buying or selling a home, if you have issues with leaks or visible damage, or if your homeowner’s insurance company requires an updated inspection.
