Very satisfied. Needed to replace our roof and other related exterior and interior fixtures after a hailstorm. Was very transparent and responsive in explaining all details, always attentive to any needs, and the work was done in a timely manner. Highly recommended for similar projects.

There was a misunderstanding and they cleaned the dryer vent. Since I hadn't asked for this, I was not charged. As for the ducts, they were here for hours and did a thorough job. They were respectful and professional.

Great. They did the work when they said they would. I paid a deposit and then they built the top. We were out of town when they installed the chimney top but we had no problem with them preforming the work while we were not here.

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.
