Pat and his team just did a great job on rebuilding the decaying top of my very tall 25+ year old chimney (~40 ft). He was also able to handle the install of a high efficiency wood burning insert for my fireplace which included installing a new 316 stainless steel liner. Added 2 caps that it didn't have before. One for the insert and the other into the flue going into the basement for the boiler and water heater. ...No more tragic critter remains to be found. Also next to the chimney (and scaffolding) had a broken dryer vent exhaust cap that he was able to replace with a new one that I had purchased ...saving me the need to get a taller ladder and doing it myself. He was great to deal with and easy to talk to ...keeping in mind everyone is busy and working on a bigger project like mine requires some flexibility and good weather. Took less than 2 days to do the work. They were careful in working around the property to minimize any damage and even made me aware of some plantings that should be moved due to the positioning of the scaffold ...rather than not caring about the surroundings. Could tell there were strong bonds with the crew ...very much like a family. Actually his father was part of the team. Pleasantly, there was no big convoluted corporate/franchise feel ...just a good home run professional business. And of course, cost was very reasonable when compared to some other quotes ...and some others that didn't even want to consider quoting the job given the height. Would definitely consider them first should future masonry work be needed. Just need to now find and get a good cord of kiln dried wood to enjoy a cozy toasty winter ...and hopefully much smaller heating bills.
