I cannot recommend Alonzo and his wife Ashley enough for the AMAZING work that they did on our chimney! I called him yesterday morning about our buck stove filling up with water every time it rains. He was able to come out in the afternoon and assess the damage done. Then after looking at the weather and not wanting to have another rainy day come and the stove filling up again he said he could do it that afternoon!! They were very punctual with the times they said when they would arrive, he was very thorough with his work and went above and beyond to make sure we will no longer have any leaks coming from our chimney!
Their pricing is also very fair!

They are the sweetest couple and if you need any work done to your chimney I would 10/10 recommend them! 5 stars is not even enough for this rating! PLUS! You’re supporting a small business which is a bonus in my books!

Also! If you have kids that love basketball I can guarantee he will be down to shoot some hoops with them! Our kids had a blast with them and asked when they were coming back again later that evening! HA! :)
Thank you again for helping us!

I called him one day about 4pm after another company canceled on me at the last minute. He told me he had a 5pm and 6pm appointment to do and he can come clean my chimney at 7pm. I was surprised he would come at that time. He (and his wife) came and cleaned my chimney, he did a great job also gave before and after pictures.
I will be using ever year and highly recommend him.

Me & my wife been in the richmond va area a little over year now (from the DMV area) and found alot of companies close early, don't work weekends or if they do they charge more for working on Saturdays.

Thank you Alonzo

Alfonso, was absolutely wonderful. Very professional. He went above and beyond the job... we had something dead in the fireplace having thought it was in the flue, and finding out it was on the back side of the fireplace he worked very hard to get the critter (which he indeed did) Alfonso also went on to explain somethings and how there was the possibility of the critter getting into the back of the fireplace. I would recommend this young man and his services to any and everyone. We were very satisfied..and we will continue to use his srev

Very nice job done! Would recommend to others in need. Called at noon and my call was answered by a person, not an answering machine. Came out same day over a 45 min drive and completed a complex job in a timely manor.

I had the most amazing experience. They were on-time, and I was surprised it only took them an hour to clean the entire chimney and stove. I am pretty sure it had not been cleaned in at least 3 years or more even. I would recommend them 100x over again! Thank you for all that you do!

Amazing job! My chimney was struck by lightning and used them to make repair. Great price in comparison to other companies, in fact, didn’t even have to make insurance claim.

Would highly recommend to others!

I never write reviews. Alonzo was outstanding. I contacted him on Tuesday 1/25 via email and received a response within an hour. He was able to come out Thursday 1/27 to clean my chimney while another company said they wouldn't be available until March. Did a great job with the cleaning, showed me before and after photos and even sent me information on use/care for my fireplace. Anyone looking for chimney services should use this company.

We needed our chimney swept and we also needed flue repair. We reached out to several companies and Alonzo was the only one that returned our call. He had to order a part to install and kept us updated on the delivery. He and his crew showed up on time. They were very professional and tidy! They swept the chimney and installed the part. He showed me photos and pointed out some concerns in the fire box and on the roof. He was flexible and was able to stay a little longer and repair those issues for me immediately instead of rescheduling. In closing he showed me how to work the new flue. They were nice and very patient with our large dog that likes to get in the way. Highly recommend and will be contacting them again for repairs or sweeping on our own home and on our rentals and renovation properties.

Alonzo was very responsive via email and text and never left me hanging or wondering if he was going to come by - a problem I have had working with other contractors. He did a great job sealing off three of my chimneys that are no longer in use. He works quick but does a great job! Would recommend working with him for your chimney needs.

We Answer Frequently Asked Questions

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

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.
