Report
I called Rooftop Chimney to inspect and repair my chimney so I could close on my house. Setting up the appointment was very easy, and the two individuals who came out for the inspection were very nice and responsive to my questions and concerns. However, when I was finally reading to schedule repair, it took a few calls before I was able to reach anyone and set it up. Again, once I got in touch with someone, it was a very pleasant experience. A representative even called me a day later to tell me of a cancelation so that I could move up my repair appointment. After the repair, Rooftop sent me before

They did an excellent job on relining our chimney and fixing bricks on the outside. Estimate was more than others but definitely worth in quality and customer service. The job ended up taking 2 extra days b/c of more problems with exterior than were discovered at the estimate. They didnt charge anymore and took their time doing it right. I feel confident that any other company wouldve ignored the problems and done a rush job rather than taking 2 extra days of work. Cannot recommend them enough.

The personnel are very professional, thorough, courteous, and friendly. Very high tech, they take very professional digital pictures, these were shown to me during the visit and very well explained on what we were looking at; they also follow-up with an email containing the digital pictures. They vacuumed the fireplace, and cleaned inside the fireplace. I am not sure how much cleaning up inside the fireplace was necessary, but it seemed quite clean when they took pictures after. There were personnel on the visit. They also got a ladder and inspected on roof. They have 2 rates, one for just inspection
