He returned on 1/17/13 to pour a new cement crown for the chimney and inbed a multi flue cap. He has been easy to access by phone and cordial when answering questions.
He first performed the chimney cleaning, which took approx. 1 hour.
After that, he informed me that he noticed significant cracking in the chimney cap, and that over time it could cause deterioration of the entire chimney structure, due to rain seeping in. (and especially during winter, when the rain could freeze in the cracks, and cause further structural deterioration.)
He recommended replacing the chimney cap, but did not push to do it. I asked if he did that work, and he said that he could, and that he could schedule it at a later date, or could do it now, and offered to put the price of the chimney cleaning toward the total price of doing both jobs at a better rate.
I decided to have him do the work. He had to go back to his shop for the additional required tools and materials, and was back on the job within 30-40 minutes.
Another 90 minutes, and he was done with the job. The concrete had to set for a week within a metal frame, and then he came back the next week and took the frame.
The cap looks great! And it is clearly visible that it is offering much better weather-protection than the previous cap.
The reason I gave him a lower mark on "Professionalism" is that he is clearly a one-man show and judging from the old mini-truck he uses, appears to have limited resources. This didn't make a difference to me. In fact, I like supporting the "little guy." I just thought I'd mention it. I probably wouldn't us this company as a lead for big jobs.
