Have used owner Mark Dents Chesapeake Chimney for 33+ years, most recently to install a very nice surround/backing/& insulation to the enamel/ceramic fireplace box [which Mark installed many years ago] inside the fireplace. CC worker Daniel Titus installed the carefully measured fireplace surround, and it fit perfectly and foam insulation was applied behind it. Looks really beautiful. CC always gives first rate service, wonderful people, on time, clean up after the job is done and reasonable costs. Highly recommend them.

Simply an OUTSTANDING company all the way from discussing/scheduling our needs with Barbara to the visit/subsequent discussion with our technician, Jonathan Kinkade! Jonathan was EXTREMELY detailed and HIGHLY professional with what he had accomplished and what was recommended. I STRONGLY recommend Chesapeake Chimney and Co. for your needs. We'll definitely be using them in the future! Thanks Chesapeake Chimney and Co.!!

Hired Chesapeake Chimney to clean my pellet stove and chimney. I went to use my pellet stove a few days later when it got cold enough to turn it on and it was inoperable and had not been reassembled correctly. Took over an hour to discover a disconnected wire and to put the panels back on properly. There was still dust and pellets throughout the stove and the glass wasn't even cleaned. I sent an email to the company and filled out a contact form through their website and they never acknowledged me. Won't be using this company again.
