"Chimney USA was absolut easy to deal with, on time with everything they promised, and did a great job. Brett had me an estimate over the phone based on some pictures I sent him within minutes. He also explained to me what could cause a price change. He stopped by the next day to take measurements and had in less than a week the project finished. Couldn't be happier with Brett and his crew."

"I needed the Berber carpeting in my living room deep cleaned for move out, as part of the terms of my pet clause in my lease agreement. S & S did a fantastic job for me, showed up promptly as promised and went straight to work on the carpet. Services included a deep steam cleaning, deoderizing treatment, and stain removal for a couple of small spots from spilled drinks. Overall the work took about 45 minutes and they were very careful about making sure they protected the hardwood floors when they brought in the steam and vacuum hoses. A variety of options were offered for paying, including CASH app which I chose to use. Overall quick and easy; I was quite happy with their work and would definitely use them again."

Chimney cap installations and replacements FAQs
Chimney caps are necessary to keep animals, water, and debris from falling into your home. They also control the wind to minimize the risk of a backdraft. If you use your fireplace, a chimney cap is crucial to keep dangerous embers from flying out the top of your chimney.
No, chimney caps do not keep rain out entirely. However, chimney caps minimize rain and ice accumulation inside the chimney, preventing significant water or ice buildup in your home. They must remain partially open to allow exhaust to escape. As such, they do not provide a completely waterproof barrier.
Chimney caps can last three to 25 years or longer, depending on the quality of the material. Galvanized chimney caps tend to have shorter lifespans, but stainless steel, aluminum, and copper caps can last more than 25 years, making them some of the soundest chimney cap investments you can make.
Generally, the top of the chimney cap must be at least five inches above the top of the flue. If you hire a handyperson for your chimney cap installation, they can advise on the size and type of cap to purchase.
Chimney crowns—similar to chimney chase covers—are flat areas directly beneath the chimney cap. The installer reinforces the top of the chimney with mortar or concrete to shed water and provide a protective cover for your chimney, sealing the top. A chimney cap is still necessary to protect the flue against weather and animals.
