Description of Work: CHIMNEY REPAIR

Description of Work: rehabilitated weather cap on top of chimney

Description of Work: They came out and did a chimney repair.

Description of Work: Replaced panels in fireplace, sealed top of firebox, and cleaned chimney.

Description of Work: Jason, the owner, was a pleasure to work with. He provided quality work, and the price was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend him for any chimney needs.

Description of Work: I hired them to fix and repair mortar on the outside of my chimney, repair of the top of the chimney and the pipe leading out of the chimney because the chimney has been leaking into the firebox, replace stove pipe from the back of my woodstove up into the chimney pipe, and clean my flu pipe and woodstove. The first day they repaired the mortar and the top of the chimney to make it waterproof. That went fine. They tried to repair the stove pipe leading from the back of the woodstove into the chimney but had brought the wrong pipe. He suggested rigging it up in such a way that I had would have concrete blocks underneath the front of my woodstove instead of putting it back into the firebox the way that it was. I responded that that was not acceptable. Then while they were removing the wood stove from the hearth box they broke several tiles. We made arrangements for for them to come back as soon as they could order the correct pipe. It was a month before the part came in. On the return trip they installed the stove pipe and then put new gaskets around the doors and the top of the stove. To repair the tile that they had broken on the previous trip they used gray mortar and did a very sloppy job. When I asked why they didn't use white which was the existing color they said all they had was grey . Then they left. Later I tried to light a fire and discovered the doors to the woodstove would not close all the way because the gasket they put in was too large and the doors would not shut tightly. (they used red gasket caulking what stuck out like a sore thumb) By by this time I already had a fire going and my living room begin to fill up with smoke. I called them and made arrangements for them to come out and find out why the woodstove was putting smoke in my house. They came back out took a look and discovered that there was an inch and a half gap between the woodstove flange and the pipe that he had put in. He said he would have to come out another time and he would put gasket around it so that it wouldn't leak anymore. At that point I told him I was not happy because the woodstove doors will not close tightly because the gasket he had put in around the doors was too large he said for me to order the correct gasket from Vermont castings and then when it came in he would come out and fix the pipe and replace the gasket and he would pay for the gasket. When the parts came in I called to let him know and he said he would have to call me back to set up a time. He never called back so a few days later I called him again. He said he was driving at the time and he would call me as soon as he got back to his shop. I have never heard from him again. Since he made so many mistakes and did such a sloppy job I have concerns that he would not be able to fix it correctly and I would continue to have safety issues with my woodstove. I've been very disappointed and frustrated. I thought Angie's list would be a good way to get reputable service people to repair my woodstove and obviously that did not happen.

Description of Work: I have used Appalachian Chimney Service. He did a bunch of work under the chimney. He did a relining in the chimney, a repair around the roof line, painted the stove up to for me downstairs, and did a repair on the inside pipe. It was several things to get it operational.

Description of Work: built new concrete crown for chimney, pointed up all mortar on chimney, re caulked flashing, applied waterproof sealant to all surfaces.

Description of Work: Inspected two fireplace chimneys and cleaned flue for wood stove, discussed down draft problems.

Description of Work: This vendor did not reply to a November 2014 Angie's list inquiry form until a few days ago. I hired Top Hat Chimney Sweep instead and they did a fabulous, prompt, efficient, and reasonably priced job. I would recommend Top Hat to anyone. This vendor...who knows? What good does it do to make an inquiry through an Angie's list vendor portal when the vendor doesn't bother to even acknowledge the inquiry for months? This undermines the integrity if the while system.

Description of Work: Removed peeling chimney cap, scraped, prepped, and painted off site. Replaced one week later.

Description of Work: They performed a level two inspection on our chimney which uncovered some problems. Our initial concern was that our chimney was leaking when there was a heavy rain. So to fix our initial problem they applied a crown coat, pressure washed the exterior of the chimney, and applied a sealer to make it waterproofed. The other problem found was that our chimney on one side was not lined so an estimate was given so the job could be done at a later time in the season.

Description of Work: Jason repaired the chimney mortar that was cracked and coming out. Cap was broken in several places. Put a full cover with spark screen. Pressure washed and sealed the chimney. We also purchased a wood burning fireplace insert stove that sits on hearth. They installed stainless steel liner and stove. Jason repaired chimney for half price with purchase of stove. They were cheaper than other quotes even without the discount. They were very professional and on time. I wouldn't think twice about using this company as I put them on speed dial. Good job Jason.
