"They did a great job. They solved all the problems I had with the chimney and it’s been working perfectly ever since. They also fixed a problem on the roof around the chimney; they replaced the wood around the chimney with a material that would never rot, so they fixed it even better than it was before. It took them a couple of days to do the work. They took care of all the cleanup as well. We've been real happy with them."

"All for one Chimney was fast and efficient!  Their schedules are very flexible and they are even available on the weekends as well.  Kevin was able to come to my home the following day after I called him to clean my chimney.  After contacting several chimney companies, we just knew that we had to pick All for One chimney for our needs as their rates are extremely affordable and their service is excellent!

"They had a special for a whole house gutter cleaning plus seasonal roof tune up. They got lost trying to find our house,they didn't have my phone number to call me for directions. They did a good job. We have a extremely steep roof so I was very happy they cleaned the gutters and checked the roof. My concern is I still haven't received my actual report on my roof."

"When I saw the Big Deal email from Angies List for this job I grabbed it, knowing I would need a new roof soon.  Consistent with the Big Deal, I got a 40% to 45% discount on the job; as a comparison, a year earlier I received a $20,700
estimate from another roofer.  Since Stendahl was rated A’s everywhere, and the roofing materials carried a GAF non-prorated 50 year warranty, it seemed to be a no-brainer.  I verified that they were a GAF certified roofing contractor.  Steve Spaeth of Stendahl quoted me the price on 6/7/13, when I signed the contract and paid the 50% down.  He told me that they would do my roof by sometime in July or August.  After a lot of phone calling and multiple delays, they got to my roof on October 11.  I’ll let them explain why it took so long.  They finished the top roof on a Friday and lower roof on Sunday (rain Saturday). 
Neither Steve or Jason Stendahl (the company owner) were there to supervise on Sunday; it appeared that Stendahl had two or three jobs going on at once.   I was watching them through my windows on Sunday, and noticed that they were not going to replace the old vent they removed from the lower roof over the laundry room and garage (3/5 of the roof covers the garage) nor install a ridge vent, and I became concerned that a vent was needed.  I called both Steve and Jason but got no answer.  I then
discussed this issue with the roofers and since they had no replacement vent I ended up driving to Menards to buy one.  Steve
later said that he intended to replace the vent but failed to tell the roofers.  The next day my wife and I concluded the flashings needed painting; nobody discussed this with me, and the flashing did not look good: white flashing and black caulking on dark shingles!  When Steve came later that day to collect final payment I mentioned that and the flashings were within a couple of days.  A week or so later I was up on the roof for the first time and found that approximately four feet of ridge shingles over
the garage were never installed.  I notified Stendahl.  Then, on November 17 we had a 2.5” rainfall, and I discovered the flashing on the garage roof had a serious leak, soaking the roof deck and chimney cinder blocks and creating a large puddle on the garage floor.  Jason came out and verified that it was a bad flashing, not the chimney, but within a week it
began snowing, ending any roof work until Spring.  In March I found out the leaky flashing was not the first job on their list, and after several phone calls they came out and fixed the leaky flashing, this time with black flashing with white
caulking!  However, when it subsequently rained, water still showed up on the chimney cinder blocks in the garage and a
spot or two on the roof deck.  Since my chimney had been leaking for years and may be the reason for the remaining leaks,
in July I had the old crown removed and a new cap installed and the chimney treated with water repellent.  I then verified
no leaking anywhere with liberal use of a garden hose and several heavy rainfalls.  Then, Stendahl came out and installed the missing ridge shingles and repainted all three flashings, BUT the shingles and flashing paint were the wrong color!  More phonecalls.  On 10/17/14 the correct shingles were installed and on 10/31/14 the flashings were painted the correct color.  The entire job took 16 months from signature of contract.  It should have taken three months max and ended no more than three days from beginning of roof tear off; had the flashing been done right the first time my leaky chimney would not have been an issue in the delay.  I always felt that my roof was low priority and neither Steve or Jason did an adequate job of supervising or inspecting the work of their contractors.  I would rate the GAF roofing materials an A but the quality of the flashing and ridge shingle installations sinks my overall job quality rating to a C.  Although I think I got a good roof for a great price, my experience overall with Stendahl was negative for all the reasons cited above, plus the emotional stress caused by having to deal with all the unnecessary errors and the constant question "will this job ever get done?"

"He was professional. His estimate was in between; not the highest not the lowest. He tuck pointed a couple of little spots that were not on the chimney flash. We ended up asking him to put chimney covers as well. We talked that through. The only problem, in fact we mentioned it today, we had was that he should have cleaned the gutters which had a lot of sand in them. The sand was probably left over from the job he did. He did not clean it when he finished the job. He wasn?t too pleased about that. If he had not cleaned up our gutters, the sand would have clogged our down stout. They came back to do the cocking on the roof. It was too wet to do that earlier. Perhaps they were in a hurry and did not clean up. Everything else was fine. He did a good job. The price was reasonable. He gave us a 10% discount. From thoroughness to getting up on the roof and doing the work, he seemed to do a fine job. If I use them in future, I will ask them more questions before using them. We had tuck pointing done before by another person. We called him. His quote was lower but we did not think that he could be thorough. We had received another quote for $5000."

"They were on time, did nice work, were on budget, and cleaned up completely.  They were even careful to match the existing mortar color even though I said that it wasn't that important.  They obviously take great pride in their work. They did some extra caulking at the roof line even though that wasn't in the contract.   I'm completely satisfied. "

FAQs for chimney cap service projects in Colgate, WI

Chimney caps may be installed by a few different professionals, including a chimney sweep or a mason that specializes in fireplaces and chimneys. A gas fireplace technician is the best person to install a chimney cap on a gas log fireplace vent to be sure the cap is appropriate for the application.

A chimney cap costs about $300 on average. The prices range from about $75 to $1,000, depending on the material, size, any repairs needed, and if your chimney cap requires custom fabrication. Chimney caps are usually made from galvanized steel, copper, or stainless steel. Additional costs may include hiring a chimney sweep to clean the chimney before a cap is installed. 

Yes, it’s worth capping a chimney. Here are several reasons to install a chimney cap:

  • Keep out rain, snow, wildlife, and other debris

  • Help prevent chimney fires

  • Reduce your chimney’s exposure to moisture

  • Maintain your chimney flue liner

  • Help reduce energy bills by helping regulate your home’s temperature

Typically, a chimney cap will last from three to 25 years. This wide range is due to variables like climate, the material the cap is made from, and how often you use your fireplace. Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend the life of your chimney cap.

The best style of chimney cap for a brick chimney is one that fits tightly around the brick top of the chimney. The cap should have a screen to fully enclose it to keep animals out. The best materials include stainless steel, copper, or aluminum that fit tightly or are custom fabricated for a perfect fit on your chimney.
