"I had black smoke filling my front room and I called Sam 2 days before the ice storm because we wanted to use the fireplace. He was amazing he came the very next day to help us. He is very professional and knowledgeable and found the problem right away. The cap was too small and the mash was completely clogged from buildup of creosote and besides that the foundation of the crown needed repair . He said that the situation would have had a fatal result and removed the mash that we can use the fireplace throughout the storm with no fear. We ended up putting the new cap n foundation repairs and his pricing was very reasonable. He was very clean and left the job better than he found it. Then he checked the dryer vent and found the cap to be too small and the debris was trapped even tho we regularly cleaned the vent hose. It was a fire waiting to happen and he did the up and beyond duty because he was afraid that something could happen to us.I truly endorse him and his ability. He literally save the day for this household."Debra C. — Google Review
