This is the worst contractor Ive ever met. Chicken scratch written proposals, very hard to understand when he speaks. Gave him $3200 to do a complete chimney overhaul with a new liner. The entire thing was installed improperly, black smoke billowing out the chimney and fireplace when its in use. Refuses to return phone calls .

Should be zero stars. This company (Mike) was hired to do the Chimney at my house while I was in the process of purchasing it. After 1 year of trying to have a fire and 3 failures, I had the Chimney inspected. Turns out he did nothing to fix it and even left it as a fire hazard. MY HOUSE COULD OF CAUGHT FIRE. The Chimney inspection deemed it NOT USABLE. This man was paid 3200.00 and left it dirty, the wrong liner was put it, not secured so it could slip down the chimney at any time, nothing is correct. Pictures are attached. From my first phone call with this guy, I didnt like him. Hes unprofessional
