Description of Work: The man that came out was excellent and professional. He did a very good job and told us several things that could be corrected. We asked for an estimate which was very reasonable but I had my roofer who was working at the house perform the repairs instead.

Chris and his helper showed up exactly at 10 am as scheduled, worked quickly and cleanly, and did a great job explaining some issues that I had with my fireplace. I decided to have them add a safety cap to the fireplace and will have them come back out to do some work on the parge chamber and a stuck damper. They did a great job and I would highly recommend them.

On time, friendly, clean, explained everything to me clearly. While I did purchase something that I had not intended to, I felt I was getting good advice and not being taken advantage of. The new cap looks better anyway. Even my dog liked them (although she thought they were the biggest squirrels she had ever heard on our roof).
Description of Work: Cleaned and inspected chimney with video camera. Recommended removal of non-code conforming cap. Replaced cap with attractive, legal cap. Removed all tools, dust, ashes, etc. Provided report.
