Thanks to Brad and the Advanced Chimney team for quickly, accurately, and honestly diagnosing the backdraft in our furnace vent and saving us from having to replace the entire pipe.

These guys are A1. Had them come out a year and a half ago to do some repairs at the bottom of the chimney. The chimney has never had a cap since we lived here and the water has began to pour in when it rains. Owner's handyman had no idea what he was doing so I called the pros out. They were here in just a few hours after I requested to see if someone could make it out before when they initially said for next Thursday. Sure enough they were willing to come out up a temporary fix until they can get back to stop the water from coming in. My wife and I are very thankful for this company and these guys. Sometimes you need real professionals that know what they are doing to fix stuff. Thanks again Advanced Chimney Consultants

The chimney cleaning went well with no problems. They have a 32 foot ladder for taller chimneys like mine. Brad also looked at my barrel stove and pointed out some issues. Thanks!

We called Thursday evening and Brad came Friday morning. He quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem with our stove. HOORAY, we have a working stove again! Thank You Brad!

I cannot recommend ACC enough! I met the owner, Brad through FB marketplace where he was looking to sell a Woodstove. After some informative discussions, Brad determined that his stove would not fit into my fireplace, and advised against his own self interest to not buy his stove because he didn't want to rip me off by selling me something that doesn't work.

Not only did he save me from a bad sale, he offered to help me find a cheaper option on FB marketplace! Over the next 2 months Brad happily gave me advice on the market and what direction to take my fireplace in.

After a while searching, Brad came out to my house for a routine cleaning, but went above and beyond to help me install my wood stove.

Advanced Chimney Consultants is the gold standard of contactor services that you can trust with your home.

You will not be disappointed with their work!

Thank you again Brad!

I recently had my chimney cleaned and a damper installed by ACC, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Brad arrived on time and was incredibly professional and courteous. He took the time to explain the entire process and answered all my questions with patience and expertise.
Not only did he do a thorough job cleaning the chimney, but he also helped me remove our older and outdated wood stove. Thanks to his meticulous work, my fireplace is now working perfectly, and I feel much safer using it.
I highly recommend Brad with ACC to anyone in need of chimney cleaning or repair services. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and friendly demeanor set them apart from other service providers. I will definitely be using their services again in the future!

Very pleased with Advanced Chimney Consultants. Wanted to have a chimney inspection in the home we just purchased. Brad checked everything out and then sat with us to explain our fireplace insert and operation thoroughly. Highly recommend.

Advanced Chimney consultants were great. Thought I had birds in the chimney flue of a vented gas fireplace. Brad came out for inspection. He climbed up on the roof, came down with pictures and explained what he found. Luckily just birds playing noisily on the flue so no need for any service. Peace of mind for sure! Definitely recommend!

A few weeks ago, I had a company called Elite Certified Contractors install a new roof and skylights on my home. They did a terrific job and a very reasonable price, in fact, the best I had found, with impressive people at every step.

However, I’d been told that I also needed some fairly extensive chimney work, which was pretty easy to confirm, even just visually. However, ECC does not do chimney work.

I began checking into a few places online. During my search, Tim from ECC sent a recommendation to try Advanced Chimney Consultant. I continued looking, adding ACC to my list. Because of my experience with Tim, I expected that he wouldn’t likely risk the rep he had earned with me by recommending a second-rate outfit.

He clearly didn’t. I’ll give the same kudos to this company. Best on every level, from the office phone work (Peggy), to the people who come assess, and then those that do the work, it was all first-class. Quality work, all done with a smile, cleanly and efficiently. And once again, if not necessarily the lowest price, I would say certainly the lowest of those I deemed capable, and likely to do all that was needed. (I wish I'd taken "before" pictures)

Highly recommend.

I have put them in my Rolodex. The customer relations could not have been any better. From Peggy in the office to Brad and his men assessing and repairing my chimney. The price is reasonable and the work is great. I felt comfortable explaining my issue and confident in their skills and craftsmanship. Very personable and professional. Couldn’t be more satisfied with Advanced Chimney.

We called Brad to help us figure out why our fireplace wasn’t venting properly. Not only was he able to diagnose the issue in seconds (old piping from a wood stove!), he climbed up on the roof immediately and had the issue fixed in no time. The pricing was incredibly competitive and reasonable (truly a steal), and as first-time homeowners it’s great to know that there’s someone so knowledgeable about chimneys and fireplaces in our area. We will definitely be keeping Advanced Chimney on speed dial and can’t wait to use our new and improved fireplace.

Brownlee Snider

We had a lot of spalling bricks on our chimney and it was blocked off inside. We reached out to Brad and his team to see if they could get everything fixed and working again. They gave us a great price and did an amazing job with the repair. We now have a beautiful new chimney and wood stove in place as a secondary heat source for the house! I’d recommend them to anyone considering chimney or fireplace work!

Micah Mossman
Nov 22, 2023

Background: We previously called A DIFFERENT company to address smoke coming into our house and we were shocked with the $22K price tag to fix it and to remove our "bad" wood-burning stove. We looked at reviews online and saw the same exact song and dance from this company ... "former firefighter ... need a man lift to access ... won't clean a bad chimney." It was also very unprofessional to see this company debate with those who left reviews after the same experience I had.

We wanted a second opinion so we called Advanced Chimney Consultants. Lo and behold, the wood stove works perfectly. The issues found were real, but the last company way over exaggerated and over priced the solution. Advanced Chimney Consultants did an exceptional job at literally 1/10 the price. Highly recommend this company.

They installed a wood burning insert for me, and they were fast, and professional, and did a great job. I would definitely use them again!

Brad and his crew were so great to work with! Great service, on time, very accommodating, and highly responsive. Cleaned up the job site well. Would recommend and will use them again!

Robert Cunningham

These folks are real pros. Brad is very knowledgeable, and the crew he dispatched to install a fresh air vent in the back of my masonry fireplace were like surgeons. When they left after a messy, hard job you didn't even know they had been there. Great local company, and Peggy was and is fantastic!

Follow up to above review. Had trouble with chimney downdraft that caused smoke to enter house. Brad and his colleague figured out in ten minutes that chimney cap screen was clogged with creosote. New cap did the trick and we have had a fire in the fireplace all weekend without an issue!

These folks are great. Honest and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them.

In addition to efficient, friendly, reasonably-priced service, Brad successfully troubleshooted our woodstove insert which we've never been able to use til this year due to another company installing it incorrectly. We were ready to get rid of it until Brad solved the problem quickly and now we can heat our whole house with it.

Katherine Barron

I was recommended by an fellow friend that Brad from Advanced Chimneys does fantastic work it was nothing but that! My family is so grateful for Brad fitting us in so close to the winter season coming soon when it came to installing our first ever woodstove. We will be from now on going to Advanced Chimneys for all our woodstove needs. Thank you so much again for your services!

I called Advanced Chimney and they were able to schedule me relatively quickly. The pricing was not transparent and they were going to charge me per flue (I have a woodburning side and boiler side in the same chimney structure) on the day of. Due to weather, they were only able to inspect the woodburning flue chimney and, when I talked with them, they said they were going to be able to fit me into their schedule to come back and inspect the boiler flue chimney.

I called a few days later to touch base and they had forgotten about me completely and I was unable to get a follow up inspection. Fortunately I was able to call in another chimney inspection/repair company.

This other company responded promptly, despite their busy schedule, and their inspection was much more thorough, and their pricing was transparent. I was charged by this other company for per the chimney structure, which included the boiler and woodburning flues, which is half of what Advanced was going to charge. I was able to see what actually needed to happen during the inspection and what repairs were needed.

In regards to Advanced, I'm unsure why I was not told about the extent of the issues during the inspection. I would not recommend them on the basis the team they sent out did not do a thorough inspection, overlooked clear issues that the other company picked up, their pricing is not transparent, and I was going to be overcharged.

Brad was extremely professional. He was responsive and timely and did the job perfectly. My dryer vent needed a lot of attention and after he left it looked almost new. My clothes thank him. It now takes half the time to dry. Hire Brad! He is amazing! His prices are the best. You can’t go wrong with any of his services! I truly appreciated his expertise.

Advanced Chimney is hands down the best chimney service I have experienced.

Simply outstanding. From the off Brad was responsive professional and courteous.

Having just been quoted “thousands of dollars” repair my chimneys I was relieved to hear that they were in great shape and all that was needed was a clean and a damper.

Brad and his team were excellent from start to finish. Absolutely recommend and will use in the future

Excellent Service. Finally a contractor who knows what they are doing and they do it very well. Loving our new fireplace insert, knowing it is safe and installed with care and attention to detail. Finally a contractor that you can depend to show up when they say they will. Educated us on the range of fireplace insert products and brands and made sure everything was clean and in order before leaving. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

The company was excellent in service! They resolved an issue with two deteriorating chimney chases. They cleaned the work area as if there was no debris. They provided before and after pictures assuring the quality of their done. I would highly recommend them for any chimney work including tuck pointing.

We have used Brad before for cleaning our fireplace and chimney. He was excellent and very knowledgeable. We liked him so much we used him to install our wood burning stove. He answered a ton of our questions before we even purchased a stove and was very helpful! Our fireplace has a weird arch to it and he was able to trim down and "custom" fit the surround so we didn't have to spend extra on an even more expensive custom surround and it looks amazing! They did an excellent job and I will always recommend them for anyone's fireplace or chimney needs!

Completely professional, responsive, courteous, clean, fairly priced, and a pleasure. I would wholeheartedly use this company, going forward.

Sometimes a review seems more credible if the review says something other than compliments. I can only think of complimentary descriptions of my experience with this company.

My main house was built in 1740, and I am, therefore, very careful with selecting contractors. These guys are the company that you should use.

We Answer Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing questions
1. What is the average roof replacement cost for a residential home?
+-

The average roof replacement cost for a residential home typically ranges from $7,000 to $15,000, depending on factors such as roof size, chosen materials, roof pitch, and labor rates in your area. Premium materials or complex designs may increase the price.

2. How much does it usually cost to replace the roof of a commercial building?
+-

The cost to replace the roof of a commercial building typically ranges from $5 to $12 per square foot, depending on several factors such as roof size, material, labor rates, building type, and local code requirements.

3. What factors affect the overall roof repair cost?
+-

Several factors influence roof repair cost, including the extent of the damage, roof accessibility, material type, labor costs, and whether it’s a general repair or an emergency fix. Minor repairs can start around $150–$400, while major repairs may exceed $1,500.

4. What is the typical roof leak repair cost, and how is it calculated?
+-

Roof leak repair cost generally ranges from $300 to $800, depending on the size and location of the leak, the materials required, and labor intensity. Complex leaks involving structural repairs or interior damage will cost more.

Service questions
1. Should I stay home during roof replacement?

It's not necessary to stay home during roof replacement. Roofing work is noisy and can cause vibrations inside the house, which might be uncomfortable. Most homeowners choose to leave during major parts of the project, but our team ensures safety and keeps you updated, whether you're home or not.

2. How long does roof replacement take?
+-

The timeline for a roof replacement typically ranges from one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof, weather conditions, and material type. Larger or more intricate roofs may take a bit longer, but we always aim for efficient, timely completion.

3. How to hire a roofing contractor?
+-

To hire a roofing contractor, start by researching local companies with good reviews and proper licensing. Request quotes from multiple contractors, verify their insurance and certifications, and ask for references. Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
