This company, owner Dennis & Tony & their technician went BEYOND what one has come to expect from a business. I had paid one company to re-start my gas fireplace (pilot light needed its filter cleaned) & as part of their service call fee, they also "inspected" my two chimneys (gas & wood), and found them in need of $9,000 worth of repairs - before I should even use either fireplace again, going so far as to turn off the gas supply. Facing that large repair cost, I felt a second opinion was warranted. VA Chimney came out and inspected at NO COST, finding BOTH chimneys to be fine. I had also arranged & paid for a third inspection and that company found that only my gas fireplace chimney required repairs costing $4,300. Now really - who do you believe? I called Dennis back, explained my dilemma of conflicting opinions. He offered to return on a Saturday and re-inspect, again at no cost. Using their camera set-up, Tony and Dennis showed me what they saw, explained what they saw and why my chimneys were fine, the differences on chimney maintenance with gas or wood usage. I showed Dennis and Tony the "photos" I'd received from one company with their $4300 estimate. They patiently answered my questions about the other two companies' plans for repairs - a complete flue removal and firebox rebuild, or use of a flue coating called HeatShield,++. Please note that all three companies used a digital camera set-up for their inspections as well as visual. Bottomline - As I have come to learn, the other two firms have a reputation for unethical business practices. The average homeowner would not have the knowledge to question a "professional chimney inspector" - I could have believed the first company and even the third. But when a business, like VA Chimney, serves clientele without gaining a cent in revenue but is doing the right thing, you know that any other work they might do for you - roofing, chimneys, gutters, masonry - you know they are trustworthy and deserve your business.
