As with any other services, beware of those that come around knocking from door to door asking to do chimney work for you. Cleaning, repairs and maintenance should only be done by a qualified professional. These solicitors generally ask for lower prices, and some may even ask for all of the money up front. While these prices might sound great, your insurance is not going to cover them if something happens to them, to you or to the home. The same tips and warnings are the same for roofers, or other contractors going door to door.
Please Keep in Mind…
Anything below around $120 for just a flue cleaning can be a scam. The company, or person may just want to scare you into thinking something is wrong with the chimney while they are there, so they can run many other high prices on you. The chimney might not need any work done on it to begin with. Many times, you will find that this can cause a problem with you choosing the right company to work with.
Anyone that comes to you for the services that you may (or may not) need is generally someone you do not want to hire. You should be able to do your research on a company, that has an office building, and also a number you can call. You want a reputable company that knows what they are doing to come out and check out your chimney.
Work with someone that is certified and can show you that they have the experience, as well as the certification needed to do the chimney job. These are the individuals you want to also provide your home with the inspection needed. These inspections are important for the life of your chimney, and for your home but you need to have them done right.
