The crew alerted us to/showed us digital photos of loose bricks/crumbling mortar at the chimney line and on the crown, as well as cracks and misalignment in the terracotta chimney liner. Everyone, including us, also acknowledged the need to remove a 3-foot sapling that was growing from the rake and was causing displacement of bricks/mortar. We took bids from Winstons, American Chimney and Masonry and Priddy Clean (all from Angie's List). Each of the teams seemed to know their work, and their diagnoses were consistent and recommended actions generally the same. The recommended course of action was to: (1) remove the terra cotta liner and replace it w/ a stainless steel liner; (2) repair 10 courses of bricks in the chimney using as many of the old bricks as possible; (3) re-cement the chimney crown; (4) remove the sapling and repair the damaged bricks/mortar in the rake; (5) replace the 1940s era damper w/ a modern one. We were confident any of the three companies would have done a good job. Priddy came in w/ the lowest bid, so we went w/ them. Winstons' bid also included a proposal to build a gutter-like ridge along the roof-line directly above the rake, to prevent future rain runoff from causing erosion and creating the conditions for a repeat of the sapling situation. As part of the contract finalization w/ Priddy, the sales manager agreed to include the ridge project and tell the work team to do so. We didn't amend the contract, but I expected it wouldn't be a problem as it was a small part of the overall project. The team came out the next day to set up the saffolding. The following day it completed the liner work. The weekend passed and early the following week they completed the chimney, crown and rake work. That part of the project was completed in less than a week after we signed the contract. I called the sales manager to ask for digital photos of the chimney liner work and to remind him of the ridge. He told me Priddy only did digital photos if the customer asked for them before the work was completed. I would think such a photo would be standard operating procedure, but I let it go. On the ridge, he vaguely recollected agreeing to it - even though he had said he'd include it in the work order. He said he'd have to check w/ the work team and he'd get back to me. I had to call 2-3 times over the next couple of weeks to get follow through. He finally arranged to have a technician come out to look at what had to be done. When the technician came, I explained the need. He understood and said he'd draw up a plan. He then told me it would cost $800 to build a roof cricket, which sounded like a more extensive project than I had requested/needed. I explained the work was supposed to be a part of the original contract. We agreed that I would speak to the business office the next day. When I followed up the next day w/ the business manager, she stated that a roof cricket was beyond what the company was prepared to do as part of the original contract. I told her I wanted the situation addressed at the original contract cost, but made clear I didn't require something as extensive as what she described a roof cricket would be. After some more back/forth, she agreed to send a team out the next day to build a gutter-like ridge that would extend beyond the edge of the roof over the rake, so that any rainfall would fall clear of the rake -- what I had asked for originally. It took another 1 1/2 weeks and several emails to the business manager before a team came out and completed that last step. Overall assessment: Although the chimney liner and chimney crown work are not visible, I don't have any reason to think the work was not well done. The course work on the chimney and the gutter/ridge look good from ground level. I'd give an A on the work, but a C on the responsiveness/punctuality side. If I needed future chimney work, I'd probably ask for a bid from Priddy among others and decide then if we would hire them again."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/md/beltsville/priddy-chimney-solutions-reviews-162748.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"2 Hats Chimney & Ducts","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"VA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Matt E."},"reviewBody":"Dave came out and inspected my chimney and fireplace.

I haven't done any comparisons because, like Dave, most chimney repairmen charge to do an assessment. Therefore, I don't know if Dave's quote was competitive. However, his rates are online, which is convenient. My house was a forclosure so I wasn't sure what to expect. When I said I couldn't afford it, he suggested the items that needed more immediate attention, gave me an estimate of how long it would last before more major damage would occur, and also explained that it would be safe to go ahead and use the fireplace. The fireplace is important to me (I go through almost a whole cord per year) so I was thankful that Dave gave me the go ahead to use it and I will likely call him back when I am ready to have the work done."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/md/laurel/2-hats-chimney-and-ducts-reviews-219993.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Katchmark Construction Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"VA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"T T."},"reviewBody":"I first contacted Katchmark in May 2010, and received an estimate for a roof replacement. The estimate was approximately $12,000, and the roof didn't really need to be replaced. The patching around the chimney needed to be repaired and the mansard roof needed to be rebuilt. There were several difficulties in the process, but in the end I'm very satisfied with their work. Katchmark's maintenance service is great; I had loose shingles repaired within days with no hassle or fees. Their complaint resolution process is also very good. Many companies just ignore customers who are dissatisfied in hopes that they will go away. When I contacted Katchmark's staff regarding problems with the work on my house, they were very quick to suggest a solution, and they performed the work to resolve the problem within days.

We ran a competitive selection among 5 companies for the very big job planned for our house: re-line 2 flues, re-build two fireplaces, and repair/re-build exterior masonry on the chimney. Chim-Chim Churee's quote was significantly less expensive than any of the others and their work turned...
Very satisfied so far with the job done by Prouty's Chimney Sweep. We replaced some wood that had been continually needing repainting and our chimney chase cover. The new one wraps over the replaced wood composite and looks fresh and clean. Thanks to Greg and his crew!

"American Home Contractors and Hugo in particular were great to work with. We had multiple jobs done which required several trips and Hugo kept us informed and worked around several weather delays. He relocated and installed a new attic fan, hooked up the bathroom fan to a new roof vent, insulated a pipe in the attic, installed apron flashing on four windows, painted the flue vent, reconnected some lose siding and replaced three pieces of rotted trim and painted it. The work appears to be top notch and we appreciate the hard work and long hours Hugo put in! I would definitely recommend this company and most certainly Hugo to everyone. We also had American Home Contractors replace our gutters and install gutter guards. They did an excellent job with that as well."
