Getting another appraisal on chimney repair work can be invaluable to you. Like with medical issues, chimney repair second opinions can help you put the project into perspective and keep you from automatically going with the first estimate you got simply because it’s the only one you have.
Advanced Chimney Sweep provides second opinions and additional estimates for Georgia and South Carolina homeowners, always at no cost and with no obligation.
When our technicians evaluate a damaged or malfunctioning chimney after the customer has received an estimate, we may end up with one
of four scenarios:
Quoted price is too high: This could mean you’re purposely getting overcharged, or the company is inexperienced in all the facets of a chimney repair project and is over-estimating the time involved.
Quoted price is too low: A very low price should send up warning flags – either the chimney company has little experience and doesn’t feel their services are valuable, or they’re planning on a quick fix rather than a proper chimney repair.
Unnecessary tasks were added: The technicians on the Advanced Chimney Sweep team have extensive training on a full range of chimney repair and rebuilding projects. We can quickly tell you if your estimate includes additional work that isn’t necessary.
Critical tasks were overlooked: This might be another case of inexperience, and it can come back in the form of serious and potentially dangerous chimney problems down the line. We’ll let you know if something is missing.
With all second opinions, if we disagree with any your original estimate, we’ll explain in detail why.
If you choose to hire us to handle your chimney repairs – whether you’re self-paying or claiming it through your homeowner’s insurance policy – we’ll do only the work that’s necessary, and we’ll do all the work that’s necessary.
Our chimney repair services include:
As strong as chimneys are, they won’t last forever without regular maintenance by licensed, experienced chimney technicians. Some of the issues we find that were the result of neglect include:
Keeping your chimney in fine shape isn’t that difficult. We recommend the following:
Our Certified Chimney Professionals have the equipment and hands-on expertise to safely remove flammable creosote from your chimney flue. We also remove outside debris that could lead to the sluggish drafting of smoke.
A basic inspection once a year will alert you to early signs of damage or malfunction so you can resolve the problem quickly and at less expense than a major repair job.
It’s never a good idea to put off needed chimney repairs. Chimney problems don’t resolve themselves and always get worse rather than better. Have repairs done when needed.
