"Do not work with JES. They contracted with us for a job they were completely incapable of completing. We paid our deposit in Dec, work was supposed to begin in Feb. For months, crews would show up, complain about how narrow the space was, say they didn't have the proper equipment to do the job, then leave the site. We worked with them while they replanned how to complete the project because they claimed the person who bid the job screwed up. Further complicating matters, they were digging too close to the sewer pipe and constantly damaging it. We had to constantly hire plumbers to repair the pipe and remediation companies to deal with the sewage. We finally fired them after they let a leak go for a month where they not only didn't tell us about it, but denied that there was a leak when we asked whether that was the problem. Everyone at every level blamed somebody else, and it took threats of lawsuits to get the contract canceled and our deposit returned. The fecal matter ran deep."

Chimney inspection services FAQs

The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.

The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size. 

Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.

The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.

The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed. 

If you add a hearth to your fireplace, you can expect to pay between $3 and $200 per square foot. However, if you're refacing your fireplace, the price tag will depend on your chosen materials. If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50 per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.

On average, chimney repairs cost about $455. However, because of the vast range of potential repairs needed, the cost to repair a chimney ranges widely from $160 to $15,000, depending on the type and extent of repairs required.
