Get matched with top chimney cap pros in Midland, VA

"The repointing work was generally done well. Old mortar and bricks were removed and new bricks were installed. The craftsmanship was excellent. However, the color of the mortar used differed from that in the rest of the brickwork, so at present it stands out. Sixpenny said to wait a period and then re-evaluate whether any change should be made. I would rate this as an "A" but for the color difference in the mortar that was not expected. The chimney cap work was done well."

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

"We bought the Angies List special deal and scheduled the appointment.  The man arrived on time, cleaned the chimney and left within about an hour.  No deficiencies were noted which was good because we weren't sure how long it had been since the last time anyone has cleaned the chimney.

"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."

"I purchased a special deal through Angieslist, $99 for chimney sweep and $200 dollar worth of masonry/Chimney repair. The crew arrived on time and were very polite. When I showed them the woodburning stove insert they both seemed confused by it, they said they weren't familiar with inserts and weren't really sure how it worked. They cleaned it out but were not able to look in the chimney because of the way it was set up. One of the gentleman told me its fine to use as long as smoke doesn't start to come in the house. Obviously. I was under the impression that people that bill themselves as chimney sweeps would be able to figure out how to check out the actual chimney.
Our house has another chimney in the rear that is not in use. There are gaps in the brick where the mortar has fallen out. I figured I'd use the $200 credit towards having them pointed. The gentleman went up on the roof and inspected the chimney. He said the chimney needed to be capped, rain was getting in and that was causing the erosion. Makes sense, during my home inspection the previous year we were told to have it done somewhere down the line. He said he would cap the chimney and seal the concrete around the chimney on the roof for an additional $200. He said there was no need to point the brickwork once the chimney is capped. The guys went on the roof for maybe 15 minutes and installed the cap and I guess seal something or other. I don't have a 40' ladder to get on the roof and actually see what they did but it couldn't have been much as they were only up there a few minutes and I didn't see them carry up any concrete. I suspect they probably used mortar sealant caulk which is fine but doesn't really equate to the price charged. My main gripe is that I paid $500 (99, 200 credit, 200 at time of service) for them to vacuum my fireplace insert and install a cap (found on home depot.com for $80) on the chimney. I get the feeling that when you buy this $99 deal they not really honoring the $200 credit. I'm no expert on this sort of thing but I don't think the work that was performed was anywhere near $500 worth. I also got the feeling they were in a bit of a hurry and that's part of the reason they didn't want to do the pointing work.

"He installed the caps and went over fire exits with us. He was great about prevention information and was professional and personable throughout. He was very thorough and explained what and why, which was very appreciated and which ones were a waste of money and why. He was good enough we ended up using him to do our gutters as well."

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

"It went ok. Scheduling was good.  They sent two technicians initially, and they were punctual and professional.  Something happened with my gas fire logs when they were repairing my chimney and it didn’t work after they were done.  They also used a different color cement so it didn’t match."

"I am extremely pleased with the work done.  The technicians were exceptionally professional and kept me informed about what they were doing all through the process.  They actually did more than expected in replacing the chimney cap damper.  The technician called me a week after performing the work to ask how the fireplace and chimney were performing."
