General Maintenance Business
"Cory Harrison installed my bamboo flooring, but he did not allow enough room in his cuts to allow the flooring to expand properly with changes in humidity; therefore, the floors have buckled in numerous places. It buckled so badly in front of my front door that I could no longer use the front door and I had to remove it, saw it down and reinstall the door. He also removed my old dishwasher and did not close the pipe that ran from my kitchen sink to the dishwasher, so water leaked all over my kitchen floor. Cory consistently was difficult to get a hold of and to schedule work with; when I finally told him my concerns about his lack of communication and delays on the work he had been contracted to do, he told me to find someone else to fix my chimney, which is the main job that I needed done in the first place. He then told me that I needed to "give him a reason" and "convince him to come" out to do the work that he had been hired to do. Cory was paid in full for the work he did for me, although the work was deficient to say the least. He is not someone that I would recommend to anyone, particularly a woman."

ADVANCED CHIMNEY has been providing quality chimney cleaning, building and repairing since our founding in 1998. It is our mission to provide the best service and quality for our customers, at a price that is very competitive. We believe the best way to achieve this goal is to keep our business a small, family owned and operated business who blends our Christian beliefs with the more than 25 years combined experience into our work. The owner, Robert Schools, Master Sweep, has been in the chimney industry since 1993. Before pursuing chimneys, he worked the the Heating and Air Conditioning industry since 1988. Jesse, Robert’s son has been assisting him since 2005.
"I prefer to not leave negative reviews publicly and resolve it with the company directly. However, the owner was unable to conduct a professional, respectful level of customer service. We presented our concerns with pictures after the service was provided, to see if it was up to their company standards, because there was no improvement - everything was left filthy with no condition report. It was honestly appalling the way the owner refused to address the obvious issues at hand. We scheduled to have our fireplaces/chimneys serviced that was said to include a thorough inspection, detailed cleaning and condition report. When the workers showed up, they were in an unmarked raggedy old van reeking of marijuana, dressed like they were homeless, with nothing showing what company they represented. They did 4 fireplaces and 2 chimneys in less than 2 hours. The equipment they used was insufficient to do a thorough job and they ended up borrowing our tools to complete their work. I’m not sure why they didn’t at least have a flashlight and how the owner thinks a cell phone light “works just fine to the trained eye” when inspecting and cleaning a deep dark chimney… He went on and on and had an excuse for every legitimate problem, with no intent to resolve anything. He was perpetually harassing both my boyfriend and me for payment, while we were waiting for them to send a professional condition report and formal invoice. Yet he spent more time threatening us, trying to defend his reputation, than he did actually doing his job. It was very condescending, a huge waste of time and A LOT of money for nothing. We could’ve done a better job ourselves; our fireplaces still aren’t even suitable for use. Spend your money elsewhere or take the risk of a huge loss."

Chimney repairs can take many forms for a seemingly simple structure, and costs can vary widely. Common chimney repairs include:
Chimney flashing repair: $150–$500
Repointing mortar joints: $400–$2,500
Repair or replacement of flue liners: $200–$7,000
Patching brick or stone: $350–$3,000
Pouring a new concrete top: $100–$3,000
Repairing chimney caps: $75–$1,000
The cost to replace the chimney crown or top is about $1,550 on average. The range varies widely depending on the size of the chimney, the materials used, accessibility, and the extent of the damage. If you suspect a problem with your chimney top, call a professional masonry contractor for an inspection.
Some of the most common chimney problems include:
Creosote buildup
Chimney blockage
Deteriorating brickwork or stonework
Cracked chimney top
Damaged flashing
Flue liner damage or deterioration
Damaged chimney cap
If you suspect you have a chimney problem, contact a masonry contractor for an inspection.
On average, chimney repairs cost about $455. However, because of the vast range of potential repairs needed, the cost to repair a chimney ranges widely from $160 to $15,000, depending on the type and extent of repairs required.
The cost to replace a chimney is about $10,000 on average and can cost up to $15,000, depending on the size, accessibility, materials, and extent of the replacement. Sometimes tearing the chimney down to the roof line and rebuilding it is an option. But if the chimney's internal structure deteriorates badly enough, a complete demolition down to the fireplace or the foundation may be necessary.
