Family Owned and Operated for over 25 years. We specialize in chimney cleaning/sweep, cap and screen installation, and chimney inspections. All of our cleanings include an inspection. Please call for quote over the phone

"Our house was filling with smoke when we lit a fire so we called for service thinking we had creosote buildup clogging the flue. It turned out the damper was stuck in the closed position causing the smoke. He was able to quickly diagnose the issue and even returned on a weekend day to complete the job. The only issue is that with our first fire, the house again filled with smoke and I placed a call back to inquire what his thoughts were on the matter and he never returned my call. Ultimately, we decided it was downdrafts causing the smoke and we have been able to enjoy our fireplace since without incidents. Cost $100"

Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

Salt is corrosive to metal, and when it’s mixed with air and water, that corrosion increases. While this compound can cause your car to rust, it takes years to cause damage. However, once you see rust, it’s probably well advanced. Winterize your car and avoid driving before or immediately after ice storms to reduce rock salt effects.

Metal roofs have an excellent reputation for longevity. Including aluminum roofing, you can expect a metal roof to last between 40 and 80 years under normal conditions and with proper maintenance. That longevity can shorten in areas where salty air is a concern and not accounted for during installation to provide additional material protections. 

When choosing a metal roof, consider not only the area of the roof but also the thickness of the panel, known as the gauge. Common roofing gauge sizes for metal roofs are 24-gauge and 26-gauge. The smaller the gauge size, the thicker the roof. Usually, a thicker gauge is ideal if your house is in an area that sees a lot of rain, snow, or hail, as it will be less likely to dent.

Metal roofs boast a few advantages over more traditional asphalt roofs, the most impressive being a longer lifespan. Metal roofs last for up to 80 years, while asphalt roofs average between 20 and 30 years. Metal roofs are less likely to leak, depending on the type of metal roof you choose. They shed snow more easily and help keep your home cooler in hot, sunny climates.

Metal roofs are more resistant to hail than other types of roof materials; however, hail can still damage a metal roof. The extent of the damage depends on the size of the hail and the severity of the hail storm. The type of damage a metal roof can get from hail includes dents, scratches, loose fasteners, leaks, and cracked paint.
