"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 questions, answered by experts

If your roof is nearing the 20-year mark in age, you probably should start worrying about the roof’s longevity. If you don’t know the age, it may be time to figure out who installed your roof, so you can estimate the age accurately. You then can make plans to pay for the upcoming roof replacement. You also can learn how to inspect a roof yourself to look for signs of damage that may indicate a need for a replacement.

You should set aside about two hours for the roof inspection. Ideally, both you and your roofing contractor will be present during and after the inspection to ensure everyone is on the same page. Prepare any questions you have before the roofing inspector gets to your house so you can be ready to ask them the day of. Gather any relevant documents related to the roof, such as past construction completed, insurance, damages, etc.

Roof inspections can be dangerous, especially if you aren’t used to working at heights or lack proper safety equipment. Professional contractors have the right tools and gear to conduct inspections safely. Inspectors systematically approach roof inspections, ensuring that every aspect of your roof is thoroughly examined. 

Remember, DIY inspections are not a substitute for professional assessments. If you notice any issues or are unsure about the condition of your roof, it’s always best to consult a professional roofing contractor near you.

There should be small gaps between your roof and the walls of your home, and other buildings. These small gaps let building materials shift, expand, and contract with weather and other outside forces, and they prevent moisture from wicking down walls from roofing and gutter systems. Without these strategic gaps, your home’s exterior and its finishes can sustain water damage, decay, peel, delaminate, and crack. However, there is a fine line between a smart gap and a problematic gap—all  gaps should be small, intentional, and covered or filled in with foam insulation to prevent pests from using them as access points.

Skipping the installation of a drip edge or gutter apron can lead to significant water damage. Without this component, water is more likely to seep under roofing materials or leak behind gutters, damaging the fascia, soffits, siding, and even the interior of your home, such as the attic. Over time, this moisture can cause rot, mold, and deterioration. In colder climates, a missing drip edge also increases the risk of ice dams, which can lead to expensive repairs. A drip edge is an essential part of a roof's drainage system, and some local building codes may even require its installation to protect the home from water damage.
