Work was on time, the fix was very comprehensive and the cleanup after the restoration was very good. This was the second time we asked for their support and both time the work was Good. The previous time was a chimney flue clean out a number of years ago.

I had Smoke Stacks repair my lannon stone chimney and replace the chimney cap. Since the chimney was taken apart down to the roof a water proofing layer was added. The work was meticulously completed, the craftsmen were personable and answered questions. I would not hesitate to recommend Smoke Stacks for repair work.

I was very happy with how everything came out. The crew was professional and clean. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star rating is because I never received a confirmation of the scheduled date. Not a big deal. I would recommend them and use them again if needed.
