"Very pleasant and informative experience. SixPenny Chimney visited to inspect the chimney attached to oil burning furnace and hot water heater. He looked in the chimney and took pictures with cell phone and showed to me. He also reviewed the photos I had from another vendor and gave me a competitive price for a chimney liner, as requested. The price was less than half the price that Chimney Doctor offered. Took time to explain the process of adding a liner and answer questions. Their price is much better than the other chimney companies that I have interviewed. I will likely hire them. They offer a discount to seniors I believe and a lifetime guarantee that is transferable once. Pleasant experience"

"The project went really well! The team that came out for the estimate and inspection were very prompt and friendly. They walked us through the issues that needed resolving and even uncovered an issue with the roof and gutters. The team that came out to do the chimney repairs were very communicative and efficient in their work. The chimney looks great. I would definitely hire this company again."

"This was an excellent experience- we were contacted promptly and Christian provided a clear explanation of what he found during inspection, tiered options of work based on our needs and helped us plan for future projects related to the chimney that did not require immediate attention. We will definitely be repeat customers!"

"Lewis, Derrick and Gabriel at American Chimney went beyond the normal chimney inspection and cleaning. They saved me from replacing my whole chimney and fireplace system. They also gave me a courtesy inspection of my dryer vent system which was not up to code and had years of lint buildup. They replace my dryer vent system and made it to code. The work and customer service was amazing and I would recommend them to anyone."

Chimney Inspection FAQs, answered by experts

You only need to replace a roof before moving if it’s extremely old or has more than just a couple minor damages. For instance, leaks, uplifted shingles, or obvious holes are issues no one wants to deal with right when they move in, and will automatically repel potential buyers that might have otherwise been interested.

This depends on the design of your roof and any preexisting issues. If you have water and puddles pooling, no matter the roof type, apply a coat of sealant immediately. Beyond that, seal a flat roof every five years, though constant rain and snow hasten this time frame to three or four years. Add a few years for sloped roofs, waiting six to eight years between applications, as water does not pool with these designs.

Yes, chimney flashing is an important element in the complex system that is your roof. Chimneys (and anything else that goes through your roof) provide a great opportunity for water damage. Good flashing prevents a lot of potential damage. 

Walking on the roof to clean gutters is unsafe and not recommended due to significant safety risks. It is especially dangerous on steep or slippery roofs, or if the roof is wet or covered in leaves, which increases the chance of a fall. In addition to personal injury, walking on the roof can damage shingles, potentially leading to water leaks. Instead of walking on the roof, use a sturdy ladder positioned on a stable surface to access the gutters. Be aware that using a ladder also carries risks, as it can be difficult to maintain balance while performing the work. You can also use ground-based cleaning tools. For safety reasons and to prevent damage to your roof, hiring a professional to clean your gutters is the best and safest option.

The most obvious and severe sign of a roof leak is the presence of wet spots on your ceilings, specifically on the top floor of your home. You can also identify a roof leak from your attic if you see sagging insulation or if you notice mold growth or water stains on the rafters or the underside of the roof deck. From the street, look for cracked or missing shingles, moss growth, and shingles that are curling upward, all of which can suggest a leak.
