This is why you hire a professional.
This homeowner thought she had a job well done, but something told her things weren't done 100% correctly. She called us for a second opinion, and what we found was shocking.
From the ground, the chimney looked great. Everything appeared straight, clean, and professionally built. But once we got up on the roof and performed a hands-on inspection, we discovered the chimney had been dry stacked—with little to no mortar bonding the masonry together.
Unfortunately, not all chimney contractors are created equal. A low price today can become a very expensive repair tomorrow.
Before hiring a chimney company, ask yourself:
✅ Do they have online reviews? What are their customers actually saying?
✅ Are they properly insured?
✅ Do they show photos of their real work, or are they using stock photos or AI-generated images?
✅ Are they offering cleaning or inspection prices that seem too good to be true?
✅ Do they take the time to explain their findings and provide documentation?
Your chimney is one of the most important safety systems in your home. Don't choose a contractor based on price alone. Choose experience, reputation, and proven workmanship.
In this case, a second opinion made all the difference.
