I take pride in working for myself,which enables me to get 90% of my work from customers who pass my name along. I have been on roofs since I was 17 with my dads small company. Now at 43 I am doing the same thing. I love working with shingles and homes that are unique.There are people who need my service but think they cannot afford to repair or replace thier roof. I am in a position where the years of roofing experience have taught me to solve the problems many Mainers face with our harsh winters.I take pride in my many local references. You can call my references and speak with real people about what I did to thier home. Or you can drive to the addresses listed and see in person the particular job.I have the ability to get jobs done on time because of the years of experience with roofs,where most companys will still be there. I price my jobs at the lowest possible price while still using the best materials avaiable.I have two employees who have been with me for 5 years. There is no drinking or drug use by my company. Most roofing companies have that issue. It cost no money for me to give you my estimate.I make sure that the homeowner knows exactly what im using for materials and how im using them.I love what I do. Thats why I am able to do it where everyone is happy they picked me as thier contractor.

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.
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.
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
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.
