I talked to John on the phone for details on getting an estimate done. We set up an appointment for the next week. On the morning of the job, the guys showed up 3 mins before the expected earliest time, which was great. They worked super hard, cleaned up the job site afterwards with smiles on their faces the whole time. I had a chimney cap put on, and a aluminum chimney liner installed. A very, very easy process. Thanks, guys!
Description of Work: We had the removal of our old chimney cap replaced with a new set. A new aluminum liner was installed to the basement.

I was having a problem with efflorescence flaking off of the mortar joints in the part of the chimney that is exposed in my attic. I asked John from Milwaukee Chimney to look at it, and he said that moisture from the exhaust of the boiler and water heater were causing condensation inside the chimney, which was causing the efflorescence. He recommended having the chimney lined. He answered all my questions, and we scheduled the work. Two workmen came out right on time and did the work in about an hour. They were very courteous and friendly and cleaned up after themselves. John showed up around the end of the job. The problem will abate slowly, according to John. I'll definitely report if this doesn't ultimately solve the problem, but John was so knowledgeable that I'm sure this will take care of it.
Description of Work: The chimney was lined with an aluminum-alloy tube. The workmen attached a chimney cap, and connected the exhaust from the boiler and water heater to the liner.

Jon and his crew did a great job. I called Jon a few times with questions before the work was done. He always answered the phone and was happy to explain everything to me. He and his crew showed up on time to do the work and were done before I expected. They were all very professional and courteous. They did a great job and cleaned up very well afterwords. Jon then showed me what they did and explained it all. My chimney looks great! I would definitely call Milwaukee Chimney again. I wish all contractors were this good!

Our water heater blew over the weekend. We had someone scheduled to install a new one first thing Monday morning. He arrived only to find out he can't do the job because we didn't have the proper set-up and needed a chimney liner for the warm, moist air to escape. Of course, I freaked out, because we need hot water! My husband called one place while I logged onto the computer and signed on to angieslist.com. I looked through reviews on the first company that came up and called John at Milwaukee Chimney. He heard the desperation in my voice and said he'd be over within an hour. He quoted me $325, while my husband got another quote from a different company for $690! John was in and out within 30 minutes. He did an excellent job and even worked side-by-side with the plumber who came back to install the water heater.
Description of Work: Chimney liner installed.

I thought that it was kind of high for the work that they did. Got on roof to look at the work and realized there was a chipped chimney, wanted the work done a different way and gentleman wasn't professional when I asked him to do it a different way told me to call boss if he wanted it done a different but then rectified the problem to the way I wanted it to be done finished the service after it was done.

They were great. Twenty minutes and the job was done. My chimney and flue were very clean. During the job they put down a drop cloth and used a vacuum to eliminate dust. As a result, there was no debris or dust in my home during the cleaning.

The condensation problem is gone. Even though they were very busy, they came out the same day I called to schedule the appointment. They were in and out in less than 45 minutes. The two gentlemen were very professional, they answered all my questions and cleaned up afterward. The bill was exactly what it was supposed to be. The owner never tried to sell me something I didn't need, and their honesty saved me thousands of dollars. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: We had a problem of moisture condensation leaking through our clay chimney liner and running down into the basement. Two other chimney repair companies said we needed to demo all or part of the chimney in order to replace the clay liner, which would run over $2,000. I asked both if we really needed to resort to tearing down the chimney and asked about other options, such as sliding in a metal liner (which I had seen on TV) to vent the furnace and hot water heater exhaust out the top of the existing chimney. Both said my chimney was crumbling and that a metal liner was not an option in my case. Milwaukee Chimney said the chimney was fine and that the metal liner was all we needed. I held off doing the work for several months after the initial estimate of $370, yet when I called back to schedule the job the owner gave me the same rate.

Very professional. We called and made an appointment. The crew was due at 8:00 They called at 7:50 to say they were running late and asked if they showed up at 8:30 would that be too late, or if we would prefer to reschedule. 8:30 was fine. They arrived, were extremely polite, cleaned the chimney, the fireplaces and their work area. I would not hesitate to call them again.
Description of Work: We had one chimney and two fireplaces swept and examined.

John returned my call promptly and said he would come within a couple of days to take a look and give me an estimate. He said I didn't have to be home which I appreciated very much because I didn't have to take time off of work. He came two days later and called me at work while at my house and told me about several holes he found around the chimney which he said he would caulk. It was a small job, but he did it well and at a very reasonable cost. Would definitely recommend his company.

Jon was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and reassuring when he gave me the estimate, and was able to do the work three days later. The job was done quickly and professionally, and they cleaned up everything when they were done. I was very pleased with the job they did and with the price, which was considerably less than I had been quoted by another company earlier.

I mentioned to Jon that we'd heard animal noises in our basement fireplace chimney. He checked and found that we'd had a raccoon there that had left a lot of debris. He cleaned it all out before installing three stainless steel chimney caps. He was prompt, professional, efficient and had a very pleasant manner.

Overall experience was very positive. I received an estimate the same day I requested it. The morning I called to hire Mr. Ossoinik, he came and completed it the same day with two others and finished the job before I came home from work. His work did what I wanted, the chimney no longer leaks at all. I inspected the work and it looked satisfactory.
Description of Work: He re-tuckpointed our chimney and applied a crown seal on chimney top. The chimney had long been leaking very badly everytime it rained. The water would run down the cinder-block part of the chimney in the garage.

I am very pleased with the work and the honesty of Milwaukee Chimney. John did not try to sell me on something I didn't need. The price for the work was very fair and since he had the necessary parts in his truck, they had the job done in about 45 minutes, start to finish. A great job at a price $25-75 less than a competitor.
Description of Work: Milwaukee Chimney inspected my chimney prior to the installation of a new hot water heater. John reported that my chimney was in great shape. However, since I did not have a cap on either the furnace/hot water heater flue or fireplace flue, he recommended a cap and liner to keep out rain to prevent the chimney from deteriorating. This information was consistent with research I had done prior to his appointment. As the fireplace is not in use, he capped the flue with a simple piece of sheet metal which I will need to remove and replace with a rain cap should we decide to begin using the fireplace again. This simple cap also helps block out cold/heat from escaping from my fireplace.

They were prompt and professional and offered some advice on how to improve the fireplace so that the chimney draws better. We hadn't had the chimney cleaned in two years, and we use our fireplace regularly all winter, so I'm sure the chimney was in need of cleaning.

When I told Jon that our problem was that fireplace smoke was coming into the house, he said he does not do fireplace chimneys, only furnace/water heater flues. But he said he wanted to take a look, since that is far less expensive than lining the fireplace chimney and solves the problem 95% of the time. After looking up the chimney, we discussed what he had found, and I agreed to the work. He scheduled it promptly. His crew was polite but arrived later than scheduled, took longer than planned, and left the floor pretty messy on a day I had to leave on time. Unfortunately, the work did not solve the problem. When I called to tell him this, he said there was nothing further he could do and reminded me that we still ''needed'' the liner for our water heater. I was disappointed by his response (he had seemed much more willing to pursue the problem further when we originally talked, and his business card says his work is guaranteed). I'd be more cautious if I used him in the future.

Prompt return of phone call; very courteous but refused to consider inspection and sweeping because he was too busy with contractor related work for ''82 contractors.'' Could not foresee any time in which he would be able to do the job. We are in construction and I asked if my general contractor could hire him for our chimney. Again, he declined. Apologized and made a referral to another company upon my request.
