Get matched with top chimney cap pros in Mathews, VA

"

As promised, Carmine called when he was 45 minutes away from our house so I had plenty of time to leave work and meet him.  He was friendly and extremely professional, even asking my permission before entering the house. He even asked me if he could call me "Steve", or would I prefer Mr. Carr. He and his worker Bill were clean and dressed nicely. They spread a blanket in front of the fireplace and cleaned up when they finished. They noticed a water stain on our living room ceiling and offered to check the flashing on the roof. They found a three inch hole and fixed it immediately, provided us with a 7 year warranty. Colonial was half the price of the other Chimney sweeps on Angie's List and it's hard for me to imagine anyone providing better service.

"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 found Hipp Masonry on Angie's list along with 2 other vendors that were rated about the same. All 3 were rated good. I called all 3 and Chuck (owner) called me back within a couple of hours. 1 other vendor called me back several days later, never heard from the last one. Chuck said he was available to come over and look at the job the same afternoon so that was great. He came over and we looked at the outside of the fireplace and the chimney and we discussed some options. Chuck is a very nice gentlemen and it was clear he was very knowledgeable about his business. He also looked at our front porch that needs some work. He got back to me in a couple of days, gave us a price on both the fireplace and the porch, told me if i did the porch work he would do the fireplace for free. That sounded like a pretty good deal but we did think the porch price was a little high and with the holiday's coming we decided to hold off on the porch and get the fireplace done. Here is the deal. The fireplace was very poorly designed as in the opening of the fireplace was way to large for the size of the flue and the height of the chimney. Smoke would come out the front of the fireplace because there was too much air and not enough draft. Our fireplace company suggested we raise the bottom of the firebox to decrease the opening and bring the fire grate closer to the flue. We tested this before hand by putting bricks under the grate to raise it up and it worked but the fire required too much attention because the coals were too far a from the logs. What Hipp Masonry did was install a new layer of fire brick on the bottom and then install a row of bricks cut in half in front of the new layer of fire brick that matched the brick on the exterior of the fireplace. It is actually a 10 foot wall of brick with the fireplace at one end.The match is not perfect, but it close and it looks great. The gentlemen that the performed work, did a terrific job and it was clear he knew what he was doing as well. He answered all my questions and was meticulous about the craftsmanship. We are extremely pleased with how it turned out. We can't wait for it to dry and cure so we can use it. We will be calling Hipp Masonry back to do our porch work in the spring. Based on the job they did on the fireplace, I am sure the porch will turn out great as well. Highly recommend this company.

"I found Sky Home Improvements through Angie's List, and gave them a call.  They returned my call the next day and were prompt in getting to my home to assess the problem and give me an estimate. Dan went up on the roof and took pictures that he showed me to help me understand what was causing the roof to leak and what needed to be done to fix it.  Along with the estimate, Dan gave me a folder which contained Job References, copy of his Contracting License, and a copy of Certificate of Liability Insurance. The following day Dan and Chuck were back and fixed the roof.  They arrived on time, and after they finished the repair, took time to explain again what was done.  Dan and Chuck were extremely polite, professional, and knowledgeable. I will definitely call on their expertise for any roofing work that needs to be done in the future."

"Ronnie was very thorough looking at the chimneys and analyzing our needs to give us an accurate quote. He thoroughly talked through the quotes and allowed me to ask many questions. When he came to do the job, he brought a helper (Big John). The two guys completed the job in a few hours, stacked the excess bricks nicely, and cleaned up after themselves. When doing the chimney sweeping, Ronnie laid out large cloth tarps to catch any falling ash/dust/debris and used a highly sealed vacuum to clean up inside our house when he was done. He even attached fans to the top of the chimneys to draw a lot of the ash/dust up out of the chimney instead of letting it fall into our living room. I was dreading having our chimneys cleaned expecting it to be a huge dirty mess. Instead, Ronnie and John worked quickly and kept things nice and clean.
As an added bonus, both men nicely talked to my four year old son who wanted to know EVERYTHING that they were doing."

Initially, he seemed like he was very very knowledgeable, very friendly and gave us thoughts that he knew what he was doing. They arrived on time. They're very good. The crew was pretty quick and efficient. One problem I had was they didn't come with enough materials. They had to reschedule for a completion of some. There were some minor issues that we ran into. They were supposed to paint the chimney cap and never actually did that. It's not a big deal but the other thing was the warranty and we kind of had a fight with them for the warranty to actually be processed. The warranty was the big thing and it was a lifetime warranty and I guess there were personal things that came up. It was just basically what I've learned late, but it took us probably eight months to get the warranty to be processed. That was my biggest concern, but the warranty company ensures me that everything is good even though the paperwork has the wrong number on there and I am assuming that's because they had the wrong number initially which is why they didn't have enough material.
