"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

Architectural shingles and impact-resistant shingles aren’t mutually exclusive, which means some architectural shingles are impact-resistant shingles. Architectural shingles are thicker and more durable than standard 3-tab shingles, and they become even stronger when they also have high impact resistance and wind resistance ratings. The most durable shingles for areas with extreme weather are architectural or luxury shingles that have a Class-4 impact resistance and a Class-H wind resistance that can stand up to winds reaching 150 mph.

You can tell if you have ridge vents by looking at the roof’s peak from outside. A ridge vent will look like a speed bump or slight rise away from the roof’s surface and will likely be covered in the same material as the rest of the roof. You can also tell from inside your attic—look up at the roof ridge to see if there is light coming through along the length of the ridge.

Issues include leaking seams, rusting panels, loose fasteners, and denting from debris or weather, which can cause damage that requires intervention.

There are a few things you should look out for that suggest your chimney needs repair. The most obvious of which is leaking around the bricks or stone, which should be addressed by a professional immediately. If you’re unsure of its repair status, consider conducting a chimney inspection. Some other repair signs include:

  • Smoky smell in your home when you’re using your chimney

  • Visible damage to the bricks or mortar between them

  • Chimney is pulling away from your home

  • Portions of the brick are flaking away or crumbling

  • Visible cracks that travel through the mortar in a stair-step formation

Sometimes chimney caps blow off during storms or fall off after rusting away. While this typically won’t cause structural damage, failing to replace a chimney cap can. A chimney cap prevents moisture, animals, and debris from entering your chimney, all of which can cause serious problems, such as damage to the masonry or blockages in the flue.
