Best chimney cap pros near Great Falls, VA

"The staff member who came out to give an estimate took pictures of my chimney cap and what work would need to be done. When the work was done, it was in a timely manner and all materials were cleaned up from the work site. The technician again provided pictures so we could see the finished project."

"Vasiliy gave me two options, full tear down and rebuild or partial rebuild, but it seemed to make better sense to do the full rebuild. Vasiliy and his crew did a great job with the work, and kept me informed the entire way. He arranged the City inspection after the work was done. He also gave me some tips on better care for the chimney."

"Manuel put 2 chimney caps and gave me excellent advice."

Two reps from A&T Chimney Sweeps came on time and quickly went to work, making sure to wear booties and laying a mat on the floor to keep the area clean. 

At first, one of the workers said he thought the chimney was extremely dirty, but it turned out that was just accumulated dust from when he removed the "stopper."  The chimney itself was actually clean.  I was glad to have this verified.  I had never used the chimney, though I didn't know if the former tenants had when the house was rented out, which was why I took advantage of the Angie's Special Deal. 

The two reps were efficient, spending perhaps a total of 20 minutes doing the job. 

My only complaint was that. since I never used the chimney, I asked if A&T would be able to remove it, thereby giving me more space in the basement where it was located.  The senior representative took a few pictures of the chimney, inside and out, and sent it to his boss who promised a reply about what removal might cost. I never got an answer. (But to be completely fair, I never followed up either.)

This is the second time an Angie's List Deal has proved to be an especially good bargain,  When I used a Deal to get my gutters cleaned, the company also found the gutters to be debris-free.  You feel better when you don't have to pay top dollar for the service that proved not to be really needed.

"Cleaned wood stove pipe.    Repaired chimney masonry cap.   Installed chimney cap.    Restored 2nd rusting chimney cap.  Inspected chimney liners.   Good steady work.   Personable.   Also does decks and masonry repair.   Made suggestions and went a little beyond the request with an easy fix on an existing component.

"The technicians redid the bricks so that you couldn't even tell they were repaired. It looked beautiful. They put in a new liner in the chimney and waterproofed it. They redid the inside of the fireplace to bring it up to code and put in a chain that easily opens and closes the flue. It looks so good and easy that I may decide to use the fireplace again. They redid the pipes in the basement so the fumes from the boiler and hot water heater went up the chimney in the correct way. There had been water damage and they corrected the damage and closed off the hole in the wall (foundation) and made a bigger hole in the correct place so that everything was up to code. They were polite, efficient and worked very hard to get the work done in the promised two days. I have interviewed many companies and found this company to be straight-forward in telling me what they would do and didn't try to tell me they were giving me a "good deal." Rather I feel they gave me an honest estimate on what needed to be done and didn't try to pressure me into using their company. They did give me 10% off because I was an Angie's List customer. What company to use was a hard decision for me because I knew nothing about chimney repair. Because so much of the repair was inside the chimney I couldn't tell what they had done. Based on my experience I feel they did a good job. I don't have a picture of the repaired chimney but it looks great--better than it did before the bricks fell. If someone wants more detail I can copy exactly what they did from the invoice. Also, maybe the company can show a picture of the finished product. Since it is summer time I haven't had any experience using the chimney but will let you know how things work out during the winter."

"The service was fine. The only thing is that they were really late coming. So, it was like dark when they got out of here. They left the area good when they were finished. It took them an hour-and-a-half to complete the job. They sent me a picture of the chimney. The price was great. They did show up."

"Simple, after I bought masonry repair deal, the provider said they only repair chimneys. I should have noted that in the deal."

"Called at 9 am to get an estimate, arrived the SAME DAY an hour later. Inspected 3 different flues for cleaning and determined that they were in great shape and did not need to be serviced. Installed 3 caps. The whole process took about 4 hours from the initial call to payment. A couple of things worth noting about this company, aside from the quick turn-around on the work. Johhny Mack, the owner's son, is very polite and honest. He probably could have told me my flues needed cleaning and charged me for moving a brush around. I wouldn't have known. The home is a 100 years old and I would have believed him. He also did not have a new cap for one of the smaller flues, but found a slightly used one in his shop and basically installed it at cost. He also reviewed basic fire safety with me, and advised me on several safety issues in my home, not in an attempt to sell me fire extinguishers, just as good advice."

"Carmine is fabulous. We call him for all of our chimney needs"
