Best chimney repair specialists near Sumerduck, VA

"I am a residential home repairman, and I accepted a job from a customer to stop water leaking into the basement around their chimney after rain. I caulked outside along the sides of the chimney and around the top cap. This reduced, but did not stop the leaking. I thoroughly researched chimney sweeps, and recommended Sixpenny Chimney Sweeps to my customer. Sixpenny Chimney Sweeps came and examined the chimney, and returned several days later to make repairs. They were honest and professional. They replaced the chimney cap/screen at the top, and repaired a row of bricks outside. They also sprayed sealer on all the bricks outside. Post-repairs, there was no more water in the basement after inclement weather. Work was done efficiently and looked great. Their price was reasonable. I would definitely recommend them again, if another chimney-related problem arises."

"Great service. Technician was courteous and very informative. AMJ ensured I was educated on the issue and provided affordable options for my repair. I'd 100% recommend this company for your AC, HEATING, AND PLIMBING SERVICES."

"The gentlemen who came to repair the brickwork in my carport were very professional and completed their work in the time frame they promised. The brickwork required some extra strengthening which they noticed and repaired along with the sections I had asked to have worked on. I appreciated the way the company worked with me and promised, and provided, the work done within the week of my contacting them. No Wait List or reasons not to begin on the work right away."

"Very meticulous work or more so craftsmanship. Looks to be a new far more robust chimney than was present on home when new. Awaiting concrete to cure then they will water proof the entire chimney. Very pleased"

I called another company that charged $200 for an estimate.  They gave me a written estimate with pictures, and told me that smoke was leaking from one flu to the next because of cracked flu tiles.  They recommended two stainless steel flu liners, replacing the crown, replacing the four bad bricks, and sealing the outside of the chimney at a cost of $13000.  That wasn't going to happen.  I sent the pictures to another chimney repair company and they would do the same work for $6000. What an eye opener!  How could there be such a disparity?  That's when I called Metropolitan Chimney.  Adolfo looked at the chimney and saw that the cracked flu tiles were near the top of the chimney and could be replaced without needing to reline the flues.  Aldofo was the only person to diagnose the leaking problem. He said, " the two flues were so close together at the top of the chimney. Smoke from one fireplace rose out of the chimney and was sucked down into the adjacent flu,  The smoke came into the house through the other fireplace." The problem was solved with the installation of chimney cap dampers on each flu. I have had a fire in both fireplaces, and smoke has not leaked back into the house.  Aldofo and his coworker were honest, did the work that week, left the house clean, and saved me a lot of money.  It is important to note that the flu liners recommended by the other companies would not have solved the problem of smoke leaking back  into the house. Only Adolfo understood the physical phenomenon of negative pressure as it applied to my fireplaces.

"Problems with the chimney tiles were identified during the chimney cleaning.  They estimated the cost of the repairs and returned a few weeks later to fix the problems.  I don't know enough about chimneys to comment on whether they did a good job, but it appears to be fixed and they offered a 2-year warranty on the work performed.  
I was disappointed with the clean-up after the work.  They unhooked a garden hose to get water and did not re-attach it.  There was an attempt to clean the area in front of the fireplace, but it wasn't thorough.  Both minor offenses, but worth noting.

"I had to call the office several times to actually make the appointment for the men to come. The gentleman I spoke to was polite and explained that because of the special offer response which was great it would take  some time to get out to do the work. I understood that.
However, when the service men came to do the chimney the tools they brought were inadequate. The brush was small and the vacuum they used looked like a residential model shop vac. Although they were very pleasant and on time I know from comparing what they did to past chimney cleaning experiences that it was a very poor and incomplete job. I am planning to have the chimney recleaned this fall because we live in a very old frame house and I cannot risk a chimney fire. I'm certain that the amount of creosote and soot I can see when I look up the chimney is still too much.
I wonder if this job was less than the usual full priced job they do because it was an Angie's List "special". I will not take part in any more of those deals. In the long run they are no deal at all. If the company was hoping to get business as a result of the exposure of this promotion I can only say that I will not call them again.

"He took pictures of the roof areas that needed to be fixed and gave me a fair quote on the spot. He went right to work and was very professional. One suggestion I have is to contact him directly via phone instead of using the Angie's List messaging system. He was very responsive by phone. Thanks Chris for fixing the roof! We'll definitely call you in the future."

"Chimney sweeper was very polite.  We had a bit of a mix up in that I'm new to Angie's List and didn't realize I was supposed to communicate with him via Angie's List, so I was waiting for him to phone me.  Once the misunderstanding was straightened out we set a time and day for the appointment.  Despite the brutal winter weather, and the distance he had to travel to Western Loudoun County in Northern Virginia, he showed up as scheduled and very efficiently cleaned the chimney flue.  He was prompt, thorough, and efficient.  I felt bad for him as he left in near-gale conditions outside, but it was great having a nice clean chimney that we could now use.

"They were very professional, showed up on time and were friendly.  They addressed the repair quickly and the credit included in the deal purchased helped to curb the cost.  Very satisfied.
