Installation went fine until I noticed several weeks later that it was harder to keep house warm and there was significant draft by the woodstove insert. I went outside and looked at the chimney cap installed by Kevin Fredrickson and noticed it was off center of the chimney and the base of the cap was only covering 2/3rds of the opening and no insulation was placed around the liner so heat was funneling right up the chimney and outside. I contacted Kevin and he responded within a few days and agreed to take a look. When he arrived he didn't have the tools or ability to fix the cap due to snow so he stuffed insulation around the chimney liner from inside the house to keep the drafts down and stated he would be back in spring to fix the cap. As of June 1, 2015 he hadn't contacted me or arrived to fix the cap so I tried to contact Kevin Fredrickson but got no response. As of 10/9/2015 (the date of this review) Kevin had not contacted me or made any attempts to properly attach the chimney cap installed by Integrity Chimney Services LLC. On Friday October 16, 2015 Kevin stopped by and properly attached chimney cap to chimney and corrected the issue.

Everything went well. Our interaction with him was great. He was here within the time he said that he would be.
Description of Work: He gave us a chimney and furnace inspection.
I had Integrity do some much needed work last fall which included a cleaning, a new liner and a new connector and flu at my furnace. They also replaced missing bricks/mortar and installed a new chimney cap. They did an excellent job at a reasonable price; returned all my calls and showed up at the agreed upon time. And to my amazement; it only took them a few hours to complete all these tasks.

Kevin (the owner) was extremely professional and did excellent work. He removed our power vent, which was hooked to an oil burning furnace. He then added a new stainless steel chimney of the best quality at a very reasonable cost to us. He gave us a discount as our neighbor had his chimney done at the same time. I would hire him again without reservations.

Kevin and his crew were incredible - they came on a Saturday, right before Christmas, and went above and beyond the call of duty in getting my chimney ready for the wood-burning season. They are punctual, great at what they do and took great care to ensure they contained and cleaned all of the mess from their work; they are also refreshingly honest, which lends credence to their company name.

.first of all, out of 3 companies I called, he was the only one who returned my call. (and I left messages twice at the others.) He was very concerned about whether i had an alternative heat source and if i did not he would have come as soon as he finished the job he was on. The problem proved to be green fire wood. Since he used to do logging and firewood, he was able to explain to me in detail what to look for in seasoned wood and why mine clearly was not. Once he produced some seasoned wood, the fire burned just fine. I have since had another load of wood delivered and all is well

Extremely professional and punctual. Very friendly and willing to complete the job including the waterproofing, and the damper, and combustor installations with no additional charges. Not only that, but his bid was more than 40% lower than two others I had gotten! Was very friendly and personable. Explained all phases of the job with photos to show me what he had done. Completely cleaned up and removed all debris and extra materials. I can't say enough about how pleased I have been with this provider (Kevin Fredrickson). Kudos to Angie's List for helping me find him.
Description of Work: Removed original square tile wood stove flue. Installed new 7" liner with all needed fittings. Insulated the liner. Waterproofed and re-pointed exterior brick work. Installed new damper and will return to install catalytic combustor (on order) upon arrival.

Kevin and his assistant arrived on time and were pleasant. They inspected the chimney from top and bottom, took pictures and showed me where I had some brick damage at the top and gave suggestions but did not pressure me to have it fixed by them immediately. They proceeded to clean the chimney - they were respectful of my belongings and didn't leave any trace of a mess when they left. I also had Kevin take a quick peek at a gas heater/stove that I had trouble lighting. He took the extra 5 minutes to help with that which was appreciated. The only things that could have bettered the score and my experience were if he had provided me with a receipt including detail of work performed when completed. I had to follow up a couple times to receive an official receipt with the pictures he took of my chimney. I like to have those items for my home repair/work records. Lastly, he quoted me $115 on the phone, $120 was what he told me after service was complete. When I wrote out the check, I didn't remember his quote but when I referred back to my notes from when I scheduled the appointment I saw $115. Not a huge difference but it seems like quotes are sort of "off the cuff". Overall I was happy with the services provided and would use them again.

Kevin provided absolutely superb service. It was so good that my wife and I already recommended him to 2 other individuals. A few weeks ago he helped me figure out where water was leaking into my home - we figured out it was coming from the chimney which had some cracks in the mortar. He took lots of pictures while he was up on my roof so he could show me exactly what he was seeing and then provided a very cost effective solution. The leaking has since stopped. He also noticed some other minor issues with the chimney and fixed them free of charge. While up there he noticed the flashing was off and re-caulked it as well - again at no extra charge. This really demonstrated to me his desire to get the job done right. Earlier today he came by to service my boiler. Yet again demonstrating great service. Not only did he bring his own drop cloths (because he remembered my basement was dirt and tracked through the house), but he took his shoes off when travelling between his truck and the basement. He put down clean clay beneath areas that might leak (my oil tank is very old) and instructed me on how to check it over the next few days. He also showed me in person and on his phone exactly what he did with the boiler. He went way above and beyond and took the time to do the job right. His price was (again) astoundingly fair. When my pellet stove contract is up, I'll be renewing it under Kevin instead. He's also already on my list to do the boiler and chimney cleaning next year. Kevin has clearly demonstrated not only how competent he is at what is does - but that he does it with integrity and an attention to detail very hard to find these days. He obviously takes pride in his work and I'm thankful I'm able to use his services going forward - he's a rare find. 10/10 WILL be hiring again.
Description of Work: Helped me track down a leak in my house (was coming from cracked mortar in the chimney). While he was here he also noticed that my boiler had never been properly set up either. He is certified to service it and set up a time to come back and do so.

Description of Work: I requested a second opinion for my chimney lining. I had two other companies come for quotes, 1 quoted me for $1650, the other $1500 to replace my chimney lining. Kevin came by and confirmed that I needed a new lining, and quoted me between $800-900. I was sold. We scheduled an appointment for the following week.

As above. He was timely, followed up on loose ends promptly and went above and beyond by sealing aspects of the chimney that were not in the contract, just because.
Description of Work: Kevin came out himself. He inspected our chimney, and recommended a combination chimney cap and damper due to a faulty damper that we had letting in excessive cold air. This had been recommended by our home inspector earlier in the year as well. He did a great job, it worked great throughout the rest of the winter making our family room much more pleasant to be in.

Kevin is so helpful, friendly, and competent. We will definitely call him in the future for any heating or chimney issues.
Description of Work: While at our house to repair the chimney in the house we had just bought, Kevin discovered an issue with the gauge on the boiler that could have caused our basement to flood. Good thing we'd had the boiler turned off! He ordered the new part we needed and came to replace it.

Beware of this company formally known as "Above the top Chimney Service" under the same owner Kevin. I had used this company when I first bought my home because they were local and they in fact did an excellent job. So when it was time to have my chimney cleaned I found the business card he gave me and first emailed him and then called him. I received no response over a weeks time. So I googled the company and discovered some disturbing reviews and the fact the business seems to no longer exist ( though the phone number and website is still active). I then started looking for an alternative business in the same town and was surprised to see the same owner under a new company name " Integrity Chimney " . So I gave them the benefit of the doubt and figured the reason they did not not return my calls or emails was because they changed their name for what ever reason. So I called them a couple times and once again have received no response. So I am not sure how these guys received good reviews less than a month ago with the research I have done.

Response from Integrity Chimney
Hello (removed member name). I wanted to let you know that I did call you back, however I didn't hear back from you and assumed you found someone else to clean your chimney. I am still very much in business, and have been fielding over 100 calls per week. It's difficult to get back to everyone immediately, but I do my best. The name change was for personal reasons, but again I am very much in business. If you still need your chimney cleaned, I will be happy to come and take care of it for you. Just let me know. Thank you. Take care, Kevin 660-4644

Professional work by Kevin Fredrickson, the owner. He was knowledgeable and explained the issues with our chimney. He offered reasonable fixes at a reasonable price and explained why he was doing the work he suggested. He arrived on time in the early morning, and worked straight through the day. Got up on the roof to check things out and told me what he had found. Came inside to look at the chimney from that angle. He inserted a stainless liner, and recommended a rain cap to help protect the chimney. He went about his business knowing exactly what needed attention. He cleaned up after himself when he was done. Very pleasant guy, nice chatting with him. If I ever had a need for brick work, I would call him. It's nice to know the chimney is in good condition and safe now.
Description of Work: Cleaned out chimney, inserted a liner, installed a rain cap
We had a leak around our chimney that we noticed as it started to cause ceiling damage in our living room, just above the fireplace. We could see it coming in around the chimney in a little knee-wall area in our house. I first spoke with Kevin in May, not knowing how long this sort of thing took to book and repair. We didn't want anything done until July. He came out right away to see what was up and gave us some recommendations, followed shortly by a quote. He believed that a large crack in the crown was a major part of the issue and what he told us made sense. There was no cap on our chimney at the time. As a rule, I have always gotten 3 quotes on any job, but for some reason I didn't this time. Integrity is a local company and Kevin seemed like a stand-up guy. Anyway, we decided to go the more expensive route that Kevin gave us because we felt it would be more permanent than the other options. He didn't try to push us in this direction - and seemed surprised that we went that route. We had a custom chimney cap made for our entire chimney, which is a huge royal berry wills style chimney. We also had him put in a new stainless steel liner in one of our three flues while he was at it. Many of the old clay tiles were falling down the chimney in that flue. Then he sealed all of the cracks in the crown, repaired the chimney and painted it. I hope I didn't forget anything. In the end, the chimney looks great and the cap looks excellent. I think he said it was one of the largest caps he's ever made. I waited to write this review until I had enough of a chance to make sure the leak is fixed. We're in the middle of a huge thunder storm with heavy downpours. We had the same thing a couple weeks ago. So far, it is bone dry inside. Before this we would have been putting buckets around the chimney hoping to catch water. Now, everything is great. I have recommended Kevin and Integrity Chimney to others and I wouldn't do that unless I felt strongly that he does good work. My wife and I are very pleased. I also wanted to note that Kevin works with a gentleman named Shawn who does HVAC stuff. About the time of the chimney repair, we had some issues with our boiler. I had tried to fix it myself, but probably just wasted money and made it worse. Shawn and Kevin came over and fixed the problem right away. Shawn didn't rake us over the coals - in fact I was surprised at how inexpensive his services were, and as a troubleshooter myself I appreciated that he looked at the simplest thing first before assuming it was a more expensive component that needed replacement. We're going to be using him for our annual cleanings and repairs going forward. Funny thing is, I never got the name of the HVAC company...maybe it's under the same name.
Description of Work: SS Flue Liner connected to boiler + cleaning; custom chimney cap for one of the largest residential chimney's you'll ever see; crown cracks sealed and crown painted (unfortunately our chimney is painted white with black crown); chimney repaired and painted;

Kevin and Josh of Integrity Chimney did an outstanding job of installing stainless liners in my chimneys.All work was done with the least disturbance to the household, and both living areas and basement were as clean if not cleaner when they left. Company prescribes to a high standard of work in it's product and presentation.All options were discussed and questions answered to my satisfaction before work began.Kevin was there when he said he was going to be and finished on schedule.Communication throughtout the process from beginning to end was spot on. Price was great as compared to some other estimates I received. I would certainly recommend this company to anyone needing masonry or chimney work.
