Description of Work: Atlantic removed ice dams from our roof under very difficult conditions. We were having interior dripping of water due to the ice dams and needed them removed. In the past Atlantic has reconfigured our chimney for a natural gas conversion and did a great job. Hence when we had ice dam problems, while they are not a roofer, I figured I'd ask if they also offered ice dam removal services. Fortunately they did and the removal was successful.
Was very helpful, prompt and friendly. He explained what was happening, offered different suggestions and estimates, should we want to pursue them - no pressure though. We will use them again when we need a chimney sweep at the end of the season!
Description of Work: Came out to inspect fireplace and chimney, as we were getting smoke coming in from our unused basement fireplace.

I requested an estimate from the company before I purchased my first home. I had previously been informed that I needed to rebuild the entire chimney. Within a day, Mr. Martin had arranged to review the job and provide an estimate. After evaluating the chimney, he provided an honest assessment that the whole chimney did not have to be rebuilt, but in fact, only needed a liner. I called back after purchasing the house and the job was scheduled within 2 weeks. Mr. Martin and his crew promptly and timely completed the job. These contractors were polite, courteous and efficient. I would recommend them to anyone needing chimney repairs.
Description of Work: Rebuilt Chimney from roofline. Sealed chimney in attic space with fiberglass(waterproof) reinforced cement. Installed chimney liner connected to oil furnace in basement. Sealed chimney stack in basement with fiberglass reinforced cement. Patched hole in chimney from old coal fired stove.

Everyone from Atlantic was amazing from the start. Calls returned and I even got a call the day before as a reminder and again an explanation as to what was going to be done. the men on the job were professional and friendly. They completed a huge job working non-stop as they wanted to make sure I had heat for the night. Clean-up was out of this world. You would never imagined that work was even done here, not a trace of any debris. I already recommended them to friends and family.
Description of Work: Demo existing chimney down to the attic floor, rebuild to to code with new lead flashing. Install stainless steel liner and cap, storm collar, top plate, tee with cap and snout. Also new exhaust piping on the boiler. It was amazing that they managed to complete it all in one day and especially being so cold.

Made an appointment for a friday afternoon. They failed to show. When I called Atlantic Chimney to inquire, they said that they had no record of me placing an appointment (!), and that the soonest they could get someone there would be 2 weeks from that time. Now this company may be good at chimney sweeps, its not like I know since I'm still here waiting, but what I do know is that on the administrative side, they don't care. They probably took my appointment and either failed to enter it into the computer, or needed to reschedule, and couldn't be bothered with contacting me. I guess they must be so busy that customer service is a casualty. The person I talked to (Kim, who said she was the manager) was of absolute no help and really could care less that I was inconvenienced. My advice, if you have to use Atlantic Chimney, confirm your appointments with them, by phone, email, fax, whatever. Otherwise you may be out half a days pay like me.
Description of Work: None. Failed to show.

They found a crack in the flu chimney. He recommend to replace the whole liner which would have been expensive. I didn't have the money so I used another company and they were able to make a repair, rather than replace the whole liner. He did a good job cleaning, but I felt he was trying to make more money by recommending something I didn't need.

We initially called Bob to give an estimate for putting in a chimney liner, after a home inspector highlighted our lack of one as a safety hazard. Bob explained that it was almost impossible to put a liner into an antique chimney like ours. He recommended blocking off the fireplace instead, to pre-empt liability issues when we rented the place out. Bob worked efficiently, was friendly and communicated well. The fireplace looks great.
Description of Work: Secure mantelpiece to the brick, and block off the fireplace opening to make the fireplace decorative rather than functional.

Chose this company from Angie's List. Made phone call. Received prompt reply. Set up date & time for first job, which was chimney cleaning. Arrived promptly on specified date & time. After determining needs and circumstances, explained "the job" and its associated cost. Carried out the "job" of chimney cleaning. Cleaned up and left no mess behind. At time of cleaning, recommended to install chimney liner and explained why (i.e. older home; fire protection, etc). Set up appointment and again, arrived promptly on specified date & time. Installed chimney liner. Cleaned up and left no mess behind. Professional, business-like and knowledgeable. No problems experienced.
They came when they said they would and got here on time. They worked quickly, didn t cause any damages while working and were professional. Their pricing was good, as well as the people on the phone. The people that came out were very helpful.

Very good experience overall. Professional. Quality work. Reasonable price that was quite a bit lower than estimates from other highly rated chimney companies advertised on Angie's list--for the exact same liner.
Description of Work: Installed a stainless steel chimney liner in a chimney that vents a furnace and water heaters (about 40 feet of liner).

Although the price seemed a bit much for an inspection, they also gave me good information about how to use the flue, and how to start a fire without smoking out my house. They even gave me information on buying a wood stove. Best of all, they said that I didn't need to get the chimney swept. They could have made more money, and I wouldn't have known any better! Overall, they did a great, trustworthy job.
Description of Work: They performed an inspection of the chimney. They inspected the chimney from both inside and outside the house.

This was a very positive experience overall. The team that worked on the rebuild of the chimney were very knowledgeable and made sure the work was perfect. They were careful to not cause too much dirt and debris from getting inside or outside our home. They were willing to listen to concerns and take that into consideration while doing the job. They arrived as promised and did a great job.
Description of Work: The chimney had been in poor condition for many years causing major roof leaks on a peaked roof. Bricks had also begun to fall inside the chimney and I wanted to line the chimney as well. The chimney had to be torn down to the roof line and rebuilt with new flashing installed and a cap. The work was done over a two day period by a five man team which was very efficient and was very safe. The new exterior portion of the chimney looks great and matches this 140 year old home well. The liner was not installed because it would have required demolishing an original fireplace to reach the boiler to be vented. The flu however is sound and we were assured would not be an issue based on the survey of all the flu's. A cap was also installed when follow up was done by crew.

Scheduled a cleaning and inspection about two weeks in advance. Kelly arrived on time and looked at upstairs and downstairs flues. He took pictures of the inside of the chimney from above to show me where the leak is coming from, there is a gap between the flues and the chimney where water can come in. He determined that the flues are in good shape and don't need cleaning right now. He gave an estimate to extend the flues and seal the gaps, and also an estimate on a chimney cap and waterproofing the chimney exterior. He explained things very clearly. Just inspection and estimate today, no work performed yet. Will need to schedule with them.
Description of Work: Inspection and estimate. After heavy rain the ceiling above the fireplace leaks, we recently had a new roof installed so didn't think it was the roof, which left the chimney itself as the source. We also don't have a cap on the chimney and wanted to look into getting one to further weatherproof things.

Quickly explained process and I was able to book them for a Saturday appointment (very convenient for me). They are very busy right now, so work will not be done for a couple weeks, but since their prices are so competitive, I am willing to wait. I will update Angie's List with report on how the work went.

CO-OWNER BOB MARTIN PERSONALLY SUPERVISED & JOINED HIS 6-7 MAN CREW ON THIS PROJECT THAT LASTED 5 DAYS. THEY STAYED ON SITE UNTIL THE JOB WAS COMPLETED ON SCHEDULE.
