"We had ABS window cleaning out to clean our windows. They were initially very responsive and kind. They came out at 3:30pm to do our entire house which I thought was interesting because I have had window cleaning before and it took them all day. I asked if they would do the windowsills and clean them up as well. They told me it would be extra and I said that would be fine. I asked when they initially called if they would bring a vacuum and they said “yes we do”. They got to the house and started cleaning. Within 30 min of them being there they were asking how we would be paying which I thought was weird as they just started and unprofessional at the bare minimum. They then cleaned for another 30 min and asked if it looked good. I took them to a window and asked if they could get these cobwebs out and he said “oh ya he’s gonna get them”. They left 10 min later asked if everything looked good. I didn’t think to go look as they said they would do it and I said yes which was my fault. They left and after looking around they never did the window as cobwebs were still in multiple windows and nothing had been vaccumed bc they had never brought a vacuum. I asked if they could come back by and they said they never heard me to do that window and was never shown, however were willing to come back. We scheduled for today at 3 pm for them to come back. They never showed up and never communicated. We had to call them and they made an excuse as to they were busy. We had an appt arranged and they said they then had to come tomorrow. All in all after 1 hour of cleaning and not ever getting anything cleaned to a 500 dollar standard they left cobwebs and dust in all my windowsills and streaks on the windows. 1 hour and 500 dollars for that and the unprofessional behavior is not worth your time or money. I have attached pictures for proof."

Chimney cap installations and replacements FAQs
Yes, a chimney cap is essential for keeping birds, squirrels, rain, and debris out of the flue. By stopping stray embers and blocking downdrafts, a chimney cap helps your fireplace run safely and efficiently. The cap also protects the chimney’s inner walls from moisture damage, saving you from costly repairs down the road.
Most chimney caps last anywhere from three to 25 years. Galvanized steel sits at the low end, while stainless steel, aluminum, and especially copper can exceed the 25-year mark. Annual inspections, quick repairs, and routine chimney cleanings all help the cap reach its full lifespan and keep the flue protected.
A good rule of thumb is to set the cap at least eight inches above the top of the flue. That clearance keeps the draft strong, lets smoke exit freely, and prevents back-puffing into your living room. Extra height also adds a little more protection from wind-driven rain and snow without hurting airflow.
The crown is the solid concrete or mortar slab that sits on top of the chimney stack and sheds water away from the masonry. The cap, mounted above the flue, adds the final layer of defense by blocking rain, animals, and embers while still letting smoke out. Working together, the crown guards the structure and the cap safeguards the flue.
