The chimney continues to leak into our kitchen unless it is covered completely by a tarp. All the work done by this contractor did not fix the leak and the chimney continues to leak today. I am looking for a new contractor.
Description of Work: Our chimney leaked into our kitchen and we wanted it sealed and the flashing checked and possibly redone.. The contractor talked us into unnecessary services and repairs based on a camera inspection of our 2 flues. We had our 2 flues relined, the flashing replaced, the chimney tuck pointed and the crown replaced and sealed.

I contacted this company and was immediately impressed by their professionalism. They build fireplaces and chimneys, as well as chimney cleaning--the works! The owner came to my house, gave me a rundown of the problems and an estimate. They came out in a couple of weeks and fixed it in two days. They also made us a new copper cover for this very large chimney. The men cleaned up the site immediately.
Description of Work: Our chimney was leaking, water coming into the house and ruining the ceiling. This company assessed the problem and fixed it better than new. This stone chimney is over 30 years old and had large holes in the grout. It had been poorly repaired in the past and needed new cement and sealing.

Horrible experience. Company is CSIA certified. Found out later all workers need to pass certification and otherwise should not be left alone to work. His worker failed the test twice but Mike left him at my home anyway to go bid another job. I checked on the work and found a room full of soot billowing out of the fireplace. The worker had forgotten to close the damper after Mike inspected the chimney! I yelled at him to stop. He replied he was done and downplayed by telling me I had a loose brick at the crown! Mike said they did nothing wrong and told us to call our insurance company. Our insurance would not cover the damage (faulty workmanship) and his insurance did not cover for "dusting" a house. Imagine insufficient insurance that doesn't cover this kind of damage. We had to hire a special cleaning company to clean up the dust and he still would not pay for the cleanup. We ended up suing him in court and won. My advice: Stay away from this unethical man.
Description of Work: Hired to clean and inspect our chimney. Mike came out and made an inspection and then had his worker sweep the chimney.
